00:00:00.000 First, if you've noticed your hair isn't as thick and luxurious as it usually has been,

00:03:43.160 We all want to do our part, right?
00:03:45.060 No.
00:03:45.820 No.
00:03:47.300 You conservatives don't.
00:03:50.240 Don't anybody, anybody who's living in a red state, you just want to kill grandma.
00:03:59.700 Well, let me tell you something.
00:04:02.420 Last week, the U.S., the U.K. health officials said that mask mandates and social distancing
00:04:09.840 could go on for years.
00:04:13.660 Isn't that exciting?
00:04:14.960 For years.
00:04:16.160 Now, could I ask you a question?
00:04:18.980 How is that happening at all?
00:04:21.340 How is that possible at all?
00:04:24.600 I mean, we've got two vaccines.
00:04:26.580 They're about to hit the market.
00:04:28.260 They're 95% effective.
00:04:33.240 Wait.
00:04:35.760 I thought we had to do these things until we got a vaccine.
00:04:39.540 Okay.
00:04:39.660 Now we have a vaccine.
00:04:40.620 Well, we have to wait until it's injected in people's arms.
00:04:42.920 Now it's going to be injected in people's arms.
00:04:46.280 95% effective.
00:04:48.100 Why do we still have to do all these things?
00:04:50.760 Why?
00:04:52.780 Now, if you are caught defying this, you will be shut down.
00:04:58.160 You'll be silenced.
00:04:59.440 And as we're seeing lately, fired.
00:05:03.320 A doctor in Oregon attended a Trump rally a month ago.
00:05:07.240 He had the audacity to have a different opinion.
00:05:10.220 He told attendees that they could take off their masks and none of his staff wore masks for COVID in his office.
00:05:17.360 Oh, my gosh.
00:05:20.080 He's a danger to society.
00:05:23.680 We have killed him, haven't we?
00:05:25.380 We didn't just fire.
00:05:26.460 We didn't just take away his his his license to practice medicine.
00:05:31.180 I hope we've killed him.
00:05:32.380 Well, he was already on the Oregon Medical Board's radar.
00:05:39.000 Back in July, he actually had the gall to tell a patient that wearing a mask doesn't prevent the spread of the virus.
00:05:48.520 He advocated for something crazy called herd immunity.
00:05:53.020 What a quack.
00:05:55.380 We should kill him.
00:05:56.500 Well, the masters of the universe, a.k.a. the scientists that will tow the party line, have been telling us lately on their televised hits on MSNBC and the like.
00:06:13.680 We're supposed to lock ourselves in our homes.
00:06:15.820 We're supposed to close the family business.
00:06:17.940 We're supposed to put a mask on even in our Zoom calls.
00:06:22.600 Sit down and take it.
00:06:24.420 Now, here we have a doctor, a man of science, saying that's stupid.
00:06:32.160 Shouldn't his opinion be taken seriously?
00:06:35.020 Of course not.
00:06:36.760 Of course not.
00:06:38.100 Not according to the state of Oregon Medical Board, because they launched a little investigation.
00:06:43.740 And apparently that little Trump rally was the last straw.
00:06:48.440 And they officially suspended his medical license for, quote, gross negligence.
00:06:53.240 Claiming he, quote, actively promotes transmission of the virus within the extended community.
00:06:59.960 Yep, that's what he was doing.
00:07:01.940 That's what he was doing.
00:07:03.220 He wasn't questioning masks.
00:07:05.360 He was promoting the transmission of the virus within the extended community.
00:07:11.320 Oh, so you see, if everybody would just wear a mask, we'd be able to crush the virus and end the pandemic.
00:07:16.820 Why do you not care about your fellow Americans?
00:07:20.600 Why did you not listen to the public health experts?
00:07:24.840 Because the problem's not them.
00:07:26.240 The problem is you.
00:07:28.560 Because you won't wear a mask.
00:07:31.640 Have you seen the numbers in the hospitals?
00:07:33.800 They're going up.
00:07:34.740 This pandemic is getting worse.
00:07:36.520 And because you wanted Thanksgiving.
00:07:39.200 And now I suppose you want Christmas as well.
00:07:41.860 Well, you go ahead and kill more people.
00:07:44.800 Why don't you?
00:07:48.880 Well, unfortunately, now we're going to have to fire all of the people at Carnegie Mellon University.
00:07:54.020 But they have developed a very informative, consistently updated mask compliance tracker just to find out who's wearing a mask and who's not.
00:08:04.560 Oh, yeah.
00:08:05.460 Santa is coming to town and he knows who's wearing a mask and who's not.
00:08:12.760 Well, according to Carnegie Mellon University, the overwhelming majority of Americans across the nation are wearing masks.
00:08:19.540 In fact, in virtually every major population center in the United States, especially in areas where COVID-19 cases are rising, mask compliance levels are off the charts, with most major metro areas registering well over 90 percent compliance.
00:08:38.500 So wait a minute.
00:08:39.340 The lockdowns failed and we were told masking up.
00:08:42.840 If you could just mask up, remember?
00:08:44.980 Mask up.
00:08:45.560 If we could just mask up over 80 percent, we'll do more to reduce COVID-19 spread than a strict lockdown.
00:08:53.800 Really?
00:08:54.360 So universal masking at 80 percent.
00:08:58.180 If 80 percent of us just adopt that, that flattens the curve significantly more than maintaining a strict lockdown.
00:09:06.060 Scientists told us, quote, we'll not only be able to flatten the curve, we'll be able to significantly reduce the spread of this virus and return to life as normal sooner rather than longer.
00:09:15.560 Oh, OK, well, are we doing it at 80 percent?
00:09:21.520 San Francisco, 97 percent mask compliance.
00:09:26.740 Hey, how's COVID doing in San Francisco?
00:09:29.380 It must be flattening.
00:09:31.420 New York City, 97 percent compliance.
00:09:35.500 Hey, how's New York doing?
00:09:37.300 It's flattening, right?
00:09:38.840 Cuomo's got it under control.
00:09:40.520 D.C., 97 percent of the people there are wearing masks all the time.
00:09:45.600 Dallas, Fort Worth.
00:09:46.740 Yeah, it's just like those people in Texas.
00:09:49.440 They don't care about people.
00:09:51.900 Yeah, 94 percent compliant.
00:09:54.560 Philly, 96.
00:09:55.880 Chicago, 95.
00:09:57.740 Miami, 96.
00:09:59.380 Seattle, 96.
00:10:00.820 Now, these are the places that have had the harshest lockdowns.
00:10:06.000 I mean, unless you're in the movie business and in California, then you can pretty much do whatever you want.
00:10:11.780 But.
00:10:13.160 I mean, we're looking at science, right?
00:10:16.840 They have the harshest lockdowns and restrictions in the country, and they're over 80 percent compliant.
00:10:23.300 In fact, well over 80 percent compliant.
00:10:26.320 It's almost like those masks and lockdowns don't do jack crap for Corona.
00:10:35.540 Not the beer, the virus.
00:10:38.080 Oh my gosh.
00:10:40.640 Oh my gosh.
00:10:43.880 So we have overwhelmingly exceeded the mass compliance.
00:10:49.800 That was supposed to flatten the curve and reduce the transmission of the virus.
00:10:58.540 So is it us?
00:11:00.800 Or is it maybe that it's wrong?
00:11:05.100 Maybe the so-called public health experts should shut the pie hole.
00:11:12.260 Maybe they could learn something from listening to a few different opinions.
00:11:15.800 No, no, no.
00:11:16.720 No, you know what?
00:11:17.600 People are always blessed.
00:11:21.200 They're always blessed.
00:11:22.700 And things always get better when you stifle and shut down, shove, shoot, or kill anyone who has a different opinion.
00:11:33.000 That's how we got to the moon, guys.
00:11:35.540 We had one guy in charge said, this is the only way.
00:11:38.560 And I'm going to kill everybody else.
00:11:40.660 That's how we got to the moon.
00:11:42.700 Yeah, I've read it in a brand new history book.
00:11:47.600 For the overlords of control, there is no dissent.
00:11:52.440 There is no choice.
00:11:53.540 You do it.
00:11:55.040 And if you don't, prepare to be dealt with.
00:11:58.840 It's pretty amazing.
00:12:00.480 You know, by the way, that's exactly what de Blasio said about the restaurant owner that is daring to defy him.
00:12:08.260 He said, quote, there will be significant repercussions for this.
00:12:14.420 End quote.
00:12:15.720 Oh, jawohl.
00:12:17.540 I don't mean to make you sound.
00:12:19.200 It should be more like this.
00:12:21.200 Yes.
00:12:22.420 Yes.
00:12:23.020 Sounds very good.
00:12:24.220 Maybe we put them into chamber downstairs and I break legs.
00:12:27.780 A few weeks ago in Oregon, a nurse was put on an administrative leave for admitting that she didn't wear a mask.
00:12:37.780 Not at work.
00:12:39.180 But when she was off duty, she was fired.
00:12:43.500 She made the statement on tick tock.
00:12:45.760 Now she doesn't have a job.
00:12:47.620 Tick tock.
00:12:50.220 Goes on and on.
00:12:51.340 Guy working at a gas station in Indiana fired for not wearing a mask.
00:12:55.080 Mask professor at NYU now fighting for his career for making anti-mask statements during class.
00:13:00.920 We got him in basement.
00:13:02.900 Oh, he's going to meet Natasha in just a minute.
00:13:06.340 You work at a casino in Vegas?
00:13:08.760 Management already told their employees if you don't wear a mask, you'll be fired.
00:13:12.020 By the way, the new one is if you don't get the vaccine, you're going to get fired.
00:13:17.260 Oh, yeah, there's a new.
00:13:18.080 This is really great coming from Silicon Valley.
00:13:20.060 There's a new app that will show if you've complied.
00:13:23.200 It'll be your digital passport to go places.
00:13:27.420 Because if you don't have a digital passport that shows, yes, you've had the vaccine, you can't go anywhere.
00:13:37.560 Water park manager in Wisconsin sent an email questioning the face mask policies.
00:13:43.880 Questioning.
00:13:44.600 He was fired.
00:13:45.200 In Dallas, Texas, two election workers were fired for not wearing masks, even though Governor Abbott specifically made mask exemptions for poll workers.
00:13:56.380 Restaurant owner in Florida actually cited by, get this, code enforcement officers.
00:14:02.600 Yeah.
00:14:04.180 Und we like them.
00:14:06.320 For not wearing a mask.
00:14:07.960 They came back two days later, this time with police.
00:14:11.080 Found out he was still wasn't wearing one.
00:14:12.980 He was fired.
00:14:13.680 But it's not even the actual act of not wearing a mask that will get you in trouble.
00:14:19.640 Just a mere opinion.
00:14:22.880 This is so American.
00:14:24.900 I just want to break out into.
00:14:27.480 La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
00:14:33.720 This is American national anthem.
00:14:35.340 Yeah, I just want to break out every time I, I see that somebody who has a different opinion is being finally silenced.
00:14:43.620 Thank God or not God.
00:14:45.580 We don't believe in God here anymore.
00:14:47.340 Of course not.
00:14:48.460 He's in the gulag.
00:14:50.720 The Vancouver Canucks.
00:14:52.520 Their beloved anthem singer was just recently fired for refusing to wear a mask while singing at a rally organized by anti-mask advocates.
00:15:03.680 We've got to stop them.
00:15:05.960 Yes, they're even leaking out and going in the middle of the night underneath our borders to places like Canada.
00:15:14.200 It's a country.
00:15:14.920 I'll tell you about it later.
00:15:16.580 A member of the public school advisory board in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, also recently fired for committing the cardinal sin of questioning masks.
00:15:25.500 There will be no questions.
00:15:28.880 There will be no toys.
00:15:32.840 I could go further, but I think the message is pretty clear.
00:15:35.920 You're not allowed to have a different opinion.
00:15:38.120 We get it.
00:15:38.740 You'll be destroyed for the mere thought that science isn't clear here because it's science.
00:15:44.440 When is science ever wrong?
00:15:47.560 Well, maybe because I am a doctor.
00:15:49.740 I don't know if you know this.
00:15:50.840 Maybe it's the doctor coming out in me.
00:15:52.820 But I'm old enough to remember that it used to be a good thing to question science.
00:15:58.920 Actual scientists did it and encouraged other actual scientists to do it, too.
00:16:06.580 What was it called again?
00:16:08.240 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:09.760 The scientific method.
00:16:12.760 See, it was part of the process in those old ancient dusty times where you would question things and then you'd have to prove it.
00:16:20.980 And new stats would come in.
00:16:22.540 New evidence would come in.
00:16:23.720 And if it didn't match up with your claims, the scientific method said you should change your behavior.
00:16:32.780 But now they clutch their pearls every time someone questions the science of things like wearing masks or even, dare I say it, climate change.
00:16:43.580 How dare me even say that?
00:16:45.740 Because it's not like science has ever been proved wrong before, right?
00:16:50.240 Remember when scientists used to say that the shape of someone's skull proved how intelligent you might be?
00:16:57.020 Or we could tell by the shape of their skull if they're Jews or not.
00:17:02.460 Yeah, bigots and racists never took advantage of science, did they?
00:17:07.600 What about when the scientist of all scientists, Albert Einstein, said the universe was static and not expanding?
00:17:19.320 Well, it's not.
00:17:20.620 We should never question that.
00:17:22.460 We wouldn't question Albert Einstein.
00:17:24.160 How about in 1982, when Dr. William McBride claimed his research on a morning sickness drug proved that it caused birth defects.
00:17:34.060 So the drug was taken off the market.
00:17:36.640 Lots of lawsuits.
00:17:38.340 Later found out he and his assistants, they all changed and altered the data to prove his claim.
00:17:44.200 Yeah, found guilty of scientific fraud by medical tribunal.
00:17:49.600 Jeez.
00:17:49.960 I hope we shot him.
00:17:53.200 They're questioning science.
00:17:55.000 You're damn right we're questioning science.
00:17:58.240 In fact, question with boldness everything.
00:18:02.280 Everything.
00:18:04.420 Especially when the holy name of science is evoked to strip you of your rights, your livelihood, and God-given, constitutionally guaranteed freedom.
00:18:14.360 Do not give in to being bludgeoned into submission.
00:18:18.040 You're smart enough to make decisions regarding your own personal safety.
00:18:23.560 We are masking up.
00:18:26.940 Stop blaming us.
00:18:29.800 Wear a mask.
00:18:30.440 Don't wear one.
00:18:31.940 You know what's best for your situation.
00:18:35.100 We don't need the government to impose these decisions on us.
00:18:39.420 And any attempt to do so should be viewed for exactly what it actually is.
00:18:45.920 Fascism.
00:18:46.520 Fascism.
00:18:48.040 Now, later on, I'm going to have an opinion or two.
00:18:52.760 Stand by.
00:18:55.140 Patriot Mobile.
00:18:55.940 Switching your phone service used to be a big deal.
00:18:58.480 You had to consider whether a new phone company's coverage was good, whether not the phones and the plans were comparable.
00:19:04.860 So much easier than it used to be.
00:19:06.780 Everybody's using the same towers.
00:19:08.440 The phones and the plans are, you know, pretty much compatible across the board.
00:19:11.940 They used to be.
00:19:12.640 And I want you to consider switching right now to Patriot Mobile.
00:19:16.680 They're running a brand new Christmas promotion.
00:19:19.600 Did you see?
00:19:20.620 Don't get me started on what's happening.
00:19:21.980 With Christmas because of COVID.
00:19:24.540 Well, they're starting a new Christmas promotion until December 19th.
00:19:28.940 Get a Samsung A11 for yourself and for someone close.
00:19:33.100 That's two phones absolutely free.
00:19:35.480 Or bring your own phone and get a free month of service.
00:19:39.520 Patriot Mobile.
00:19:40.380 The nation's only Christian mobile company.
00:19:43.240 And unlike some big mobile companies, they're not killing babies with some of their money.
00:19:47.900 Oh, did I say that out loud?
00:19:49.200 Just go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
00:19:53.920 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:20:02.240 Check them out.
00:20:03.120 Same service.
00:20:03.860 Lower price.
00:20:04.640 They celebrate Christmas.
00:20:06.600 Jesus wants you to do this.
00:20:08.520 I don't have that on good authority.
00:20:10.100 I'm just saying.
00:20:12.580 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
00:20:14.460 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
00:20:16.720 10 seconds, Station ID.
00:20:19.200 Well, there's been a shake-up at the Open Society Foundation, George Soros.
00:20:38.760 Over the weekend, he announced that Lord Mark Malick Brown.
00:20:43.440 You know, I like to have all my employees have the moniker of Lord.
00:20:51.160 You know what I mean?
00:20:51.800 What about the ladies?
00:20:53.860 They could be lords, too.
00:20:55.420 Okay.
00:20:55.940 Lords bleed.
00:20:58.180 I don't know why that's relevant, per se.
00:21:01.060 Well, I'm just saying.
00:21:02.960 Hop on board.
00:21:03.820 Okay.
00:21:04.100 This train has left the station.
00:21:05.780 Nevertheless, they persisted.
00:21:07.340 Anyway, so there was a little shake-up at the Open Society Foundation, and he has decided to appoint, as a replacement for Patrick Gaspard, at the helm of his major foundation, the guy who was the president of Smartmatic voting machines.
00:21:28.180 I don't know why that's important.
00:21:32.360 He's Lord.
00:21:33.840 He's a Lord of maybe the underworld now.
00:21:36.380 Lord Mark Malick Brown.
00:21:39.580 He also happened to, you know, do some work for Smartmatic.
00:21:43.700 What's the problem with that?
00:21:44.900 Stu's looking at me like, what a conspiracy theorist.
00:21:50.660 I'm just reading the news.
00:21:52.440 That's all I'm doing.
00:21:53.940 You're just asking questions, like you always are.
00:21:56.480 Right.
00:21:57.360 You have no opinions.
00:21:58.860 None.
00:21:59.000 You're just asking questions.
00:22:00.000 I'm only asking questions.
00:22:03.060 Like, was he there when they got a $200,000 equity investment from Venezuela?
00:22:11.840 I'm just, I'm just, I'm just wondering, was he, I mean, was he there?
00:22:17.240 Was he, you know, what, what does he think about the election?
00:22:22.720 He's got to be pretty excited or maybe not.
00:22:24.800 Maybe he's a big Trump supporter.
00:22:26.140 I don't know.
00:22:27.380 But probably congratulations on that upgrade from Smartmatic to the Open Society Foundation with George Soros.
00:22:38.340 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:41.140 It's really good to see when good people have good things happen.
00:22:46.240 Haven't seen it in a while, but the holiday season has finally arrived.
00:22:49.980 And for many timeshare owners, you love it because it means maintenance fees are right around the corner.
00:22:56.980 Am I being too sarcastic today?
00:22:58.920 We all know the bills are due at the first of the year.
00:23:02.620 So scratch something else off that holiday list.
00:23:05.440 Like, I don't know, your timeshare.
00:23:08.860 Because of the shutdowns, your annual destination probably went to waste.
00:23:13.080 And I'm guessing that's not the first time that you weren't able to book your vacation for where and when you wanted to go, was it?
00:23:18.100 All right.
00:23:20.020 Get out of your timeshare.
00:23:21.700 There is a way to make this change.
00:23:24.280 Timeshare Termination Team.
00:23:25.960 I want you to go to timeshareterminationteam.com.
00:23:29.240 Get the process started.

00:24:04.940 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:24:09.360 Welcome to Tuesday.
00:24:12.140 We have.
00:24:14.680 Do we have the attorney general from Texas on coming on today?
00:24:18.560 Do you know?
00:24:19.380 Not confirmed yet.
00:24:20.400 I can't wait to talk to him about a lawsuit that Texas is now filing.
00:24:27.120 We'll tell you about it coming up in a little while.
00:24:28.720 But Texas is filing a lawsuit against four other states saying,
00:24:34.280 you know, we played by the rules.
00:24:37.740 You broke the rules of the Constitution.
00:24:40.420 And we have standing in this.
00:24:44.040 I don't understand how Donald Trump doesn't have standing or how we, the American people, don't have standing in this election.
00:24:52.300 It's our country.
00:24:54.520 What more do you need?
00:24:55.840 That's how they just dismissed the supposed Kraken lawsuits.
00:25:00.040 No standing.
00:25:01.180 Wait, they're American citizens.
00:25:02.640 They don't have standing in this election for it to be free and fair?
00:25:06.500 Come on.
00:25:07.040 I really want to know.
00:25:08.020 And by the way, if any of this goes to the Supreme Court, do you see Ted Cruz said he'll argue the case?
00:25:13.060 I saw that.
00:25:13.620 Yeah, that's good.
00:25:14.220 And has he, it's my understanding, he's never lost before the Supreme Court.
00:25:19.280 Right?
00:25:19.740 He's had nine cases, I think, before the Supreme Court won them all.
00:25:22.320 Well, he's got to get there.
00:25:22.660 He's got to get there.
00:25:23.180 Yeah, he does.
00:25:23.940 He's got to get there.
00:25:25.080 Okay, I want to welcome to Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast you can get and listen to every day.
00:25:31.160 Very funny.
00:25:32.560 He does it right before this broadcast.
00:25:35.700 Not to mention profound.
00:25:37.180 Funny and profound.
00:25:38.300 That's what people are saying.
00:25:39.040 And those are the two words that come up the most, funny and profound.
00:25:43.580 Well, I think it's all the deep, deep science work that you have done.
00:25:47.140 Yes.
00:25:47.440 Yeah.
00:25:47.780 Yes.
00:25:48.180 That's why I wanted to ask you about the Israeli space program, the former head of the space program.
00:25:54.900 For almost 30 years.
00:25:56.580 For 30 years.
00:25:57.880 Now, I didn't know that Israel had a space program.
00:26:03.840 But I love that they do.
00:26:05.280 Yeah, but he told newspapers yesterday that aliens have been secretly interacting with the U.S. and Israeli government for years.
00:26:18.440 He said at one point, Trump wanted to expose their existence, but the UFOs have asked not to publish that they are here because humanity isn't ready yet.
00:26:30.880 Well, I'm glad he just did it anyway.
00:26:32.660 Anyway, Trump, he says, well, on the verge of revealing, but the aliens of the Galactic Federation are saying, wait, let people calm down first.
00:26:41.260 They don't want to start mass hysteria.
00:26:43.700 Yeah.
00:26:43.900 They want to make sure that they that we're that we're saying and that we understand.
00:26:49.800 Well, that's not going to happen ever.
00:26:51.540 I don't think ever, ever, ever will we be saying.
00:26:55.260 So, I mean, my first thought is.
00:27:01.060 He's 87.
00:27:02.660 He's got a little Joe Biden going on in him.
00:27:04.980 You know what I'm saying?
00:27:06.160 Yeah.
00:27:06.520 However, however, hasn't it been odd how since Donald Trump has been president, all of these things have come.
00:27:19.040 It seems like it seems like the alien network is the only one that understood, hey, he's a big distraction.
00:27:27.460 Let's just dump all this information out there.
00:27:29.800 And then then, you know, in four years when they're like, wait, the Pentagon said that they had a extraterrestrial device and a plane.
00:27:39.580 Another reverse engineering it.
00:27:41.160 Right.
00:27:41.380 Then you can say, yeah, that's old news that came out a long time ago.
00:27:47.160 That is the way to do it.
00:27:48.360 It is.
00:27:48.940 Yeah.
00:27:49.140 Just pop it out there.
00:27:50.100 Wait for like, you know, there'll be some other big story like, you know, the McRib is back in stores this week.
00:27:54.820 Wait till that comes out and then just leak out the alien information.
00:27:57.900 No one pays attention.
00:27:59.420 Because the McRib is so much bigger.
00:28:00.800 Because the McRib is so much bigger.
00:28:01.620 Where's the McRib?
00:28:02.280 Which store do I go to?
00:28:03.380 Wait, isn't that meat pressed to look like rib?
00:28:06.260 You're right.
00:28:06.660 Like, it looks like it's bone, but it's made out of meat.
00:28:08.500 It's some sort of goob and it's just pressed into a rib shape.
00:28:11.380 And that.
00:28:11.940 Yeah.
00:28:12.060 It's not.
00:28:12.640 You look at it and it looks like it has bones in it, but it does not have bones in it.
00:28:16.460 There's absolutely no bone in it.
00:28:17.960 No.
00:28:18.220 It's like boneless chicken wings without any meat.
00:28:22.480 Right.
00:28:23.140 So he goes on to say, there's an agreement between the U.S. government and the aliens.
00:28:30.220 They signed a contract with us to do experiments here.
00:28:33.920 Hmm.
00:28:35.020 Well, you know, I understand that because there's nobody that loves experiments, you know,
00:28:39.920 more than the Israeli people.
00:28:42.920 What?
00:28:45.160 I don't think so.
00:28:46.720 Yeah.
00:28:47.600 They, too, are researching, trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they
00:28:52.420 want us as helpers.
00:28:54.700 Uh-huh.
00:28:55.300 It's really cool because there's also a secret underground base on Mars.
00:28:59.500 The depths of Mars.
00:29:00.620 Where there are American and alien representatives.
00:29:05.280 Hmm.
00:29:06.240 So that's going to be helpful when we get to, if we ever get to Mars with the Elon Musk thing.
00:29:11.320 They're going to be there.
00:29:11.740 Don't worry about it.
00:29:12.280 Come on down.
00:29:12.760 Come on down.
00:29:13.180 Have a cup of coffee.
00:29:13.880 We're set.
00:29:14.740 We're set.
00:29:15.620 Uh, he said, if I would have come up with what I'm saying five years ago, I would have
00:29:19.560 been hospitalized.
00:29:20.380 Wherever I've gone in this, uh, with academia, they've said, the man has lost his mind.
00:29:26.540 Today, they're already talking differently.
00:29:28.560 I have nothing to lose.
00:29:29.380 I've received my degrees, my rewards.
00:29:31.420 I'm respected in universities abroad, uh, where there's a trend also changing.
00:29:36.900 So is he saying, is he saying people are ready to accept this?
00:29:41.800 Is this what he's saying?
00:29:43.460 Seems like.
00:29:44.320 I think so.
00:29:45.240 And with the Pentagon report, he might be right.
00:29:47.700 I mean, there's, there is some legitimacy to this stuff.
00:29:50.460 Now, did you see last week what the Pentagon released with a giant, uh, triangle shaped
00:29:56.660 ship that came out of the water?
00:29:59.300 No.
00:29:59.880 Oh my gosh.
00:30:00.760 What?
00:30:01.200 Yeah.
00:30:01.500 I don't know why this isn't going everywhere.
00:30:04.300 This is huge.
00:30:05.900 So the Pentagon, the Pentagon released video.
00:30:10.680 It had already been smuggled out of the Pentagon.
00:30:13.200 This shows, you know, that they're hiding information.
00:30:15.740 It already been smuggled out.
00:30:17.080 I think it happened in 2017, I think.
00:30:21.200 And they confirmed and re-released the video and said, yes, this was taken by our, uh, uh,
00:30:29.000 jets and also tracked by our warships.
00:30:34.280 And it was this gigantic triangle, uh, shaped ship that came out from underneath the ocean.
00:30:41.980 That was an episode of SeaQuest.
00:30:43.820 I know.
00:30:44.400 And they tracked it going 300 knots underwater.
00:30:51.040 No.
00:30:51.700 Yes.
00:30:52.360 Look it up.
00:30:53.520 Look it up.
00:30:54.180 Oh, that is unbelievable.
00:30:55.740 I mean, what the hell is happening?
00:30:57.500 How could you not hear about that?
00:30:58.420 I know.
00:30:59.580 The Pentagon released that?
00:31:00.880 The Pentagon released it last week.
00:31:03.380 Didn't we talk about this?
00:31:05.300 I don't think so.
00:31:06.320 Not while I was here.
00:31:07.240 Maybe we didn't.
00:31:08.100 There's so many things going on.
00:31:09.440 I can't remember if we did it on the air or not.
00:31:10.640 It kind of is like, you know, maybe we should readjust our priorities.
00:31:14.500 And they had footage of it.
00:31:15.720 Yeah, they had footage of it.
00:31:17.400 And they tracked it.
00:31:18.960 And it stops.
00:31:19.980 It goes up in the air and then it stops.
00:31:21.560 And then it kind of spins it around and you hear the pilots going, look at that.
00:31:25.480 Look at that.
00:31:26.240 It just stops and then just flips around.
00:31:30.540 Yeah, that's literally there is a SeaQuest.
00:31:36.140 Like, do you remember the show SeaQuest?
00:31:38.100 There is a show where a giant UFO comes out of the sea and it had been there for like,
00:31:44.460 I don't know, a million years or something.
00:31:45.900 And they reawoken it.
00:31:47.100 And it just came up out of the ocean and flew back off into space.
00:31:50.840 Well, this time they released that there is, they are, they didn't use the word targeting.
00:31:57.820 They said something along the lines of there is, there is some special concern with these ships
00:32:08.660 that they are observing our Navy, our Air Force and our nuclear weapon sites.
00:32:18.160 Why?
00:32:18.680 I mean.
00:32:19.160 Don't know.
00:32:19.460 Well, the technology to get here from somewhere else where there's life would have to be such
00:32:24.260 that you don't need to spy on us for technology.
00:32:28.100 One of the guys who are safe than sorry, though, Pat.
00:32:30.260 Yeah?
00:32:30.620 You think?
00:32:31.180 I think you plan for the worst, but it'd be like us spying on ants to see what they're
00:32:36.680 doing in their ant hill.
00:32:38.220 How do they build those?
00:32:39.400 That's what it would be like.
00:32:42.820 Have you ever tried to kill ants in Texas?
00:32:44.240 Well, if they're actually studying us, they would.
00:32:46.160 Have you ever tried to kill ants in Texas?
00:32:48.080 Yeah, it is hard.
00:32:49.000 It's among the five most difficult things in the world to do.
00:32:52.200 Yes.
00:32:52.740 So they always come back and they always eat your children.
00:32:54.960 Always.
00:32:55.580 That's how it ends every time.
00:32:57.340 I had 10 kids.
00:32:58.440 I only have two now.
00:32:59.560 Wow.
00:32:59.840 Is this talking about ants or aliens?
00:33:02.900 Alien ants.
00:33:03.780 I think the ants are the aliens.
00:33:05.660 I think they've been here the whole time looking underground.
00:33:07.680 So let me ask you.
00:33:08.960 If they came down and they were big octopus people and they were like, yes, we look just
00:33:14.440 like on the Simpsons.
00:33:16.340 Don't you guys know that guy is a genius and a soothsayer?
00:33:22.260 And he came down and they were like, yes, and we're here.
00:33:26.520 We come and peek.
00:33:27.380 But first of all, do you think that there's a chance we just don't try to blow them up
00:33:34.460 anyway?
00:33:36.020 That we don't try to?
00:33:37.820 No, I think we would try to.
00:33:39.100 Yeah, we try to blow them up.
00:33:40.560 So that's a bad thing for them and most likely for us.
00:33:44.480 Yeah, because we're not going to win.
00:33:45.920 No, we're just going to wind up trying to blow them up.
00:33:48.100 They're going to any hope they had of a good relationship is going to go up in flames.
00:33:51.360 So does this at all, would this shake your faith at all?
00:33:55.080 Because nowhere in the scriptures does it say, and in those days, aliens show up.
00:34:02.160 I mean, you know, that would be kind of a big thing.
00:34:05.900 It would be weird.
00:34:07.300 Unless that's like the heavens open up.
00:34:10.260 Yeah.
00:34:10.540 And aliens spill out.
00:34:11.560 So, well, instead of angels, aliens are spilling out in chips.
00:34:17.900 Well, maybe they're the angels.
00:34:18.840 That would be weird.
00:34:19.480 Maybe they're the angels.
00:34:20.440 Maybe.
00:34:20.820 I don't know.
00:34:21.680 If they didn't look like us, I think that would, I would be confused by that because
00:34:26.420 I would assume they would look like us.
00:34:28.100 White?
00:34:28.540 Came from the.
00:34:29.340 Yes, of course.
00:34:30.200 White.
00:34:30.740 Typical race.
00:34:31.500 White.
00:34:31.920 They have to be white.
00:34:32.760 If they're green or something.
00:34:33.720 If they're green.
00:34:34.320 We're just going to reject them.
00:34:35.640 No, you can't be on our planet.
00:34:36.940 Sorry.
00:34:37.420 Nope.
00:34:37.640 Of course, we're going to nuke them if they're a different color.
00:34:44.920 Unless their bodies are shaped exactly as ours are.
00:34:48.040 Okay.
00:34:48.340 All right.
00:34:48.640 Last question.
00:34:49.660 Green lives matter.
00:34:50.500 Ask questions.
00:34:51.140 Last question.
00:34:52.000 And I mean this sincerely.
00:34:54.100 Odds that we see an alien announcement with maybe the alien standing next to or in our
00:35:03.860 sky or something like that in the next, in our lifetime, in our lifetime.
00:35:09.040 Oh, well, what is this?
00:35:10.500 What is this?
00:35:11.680 No, I mean like an actual, like.
00:35:13.360 Like an announcement.
00:35:14.280 Like the president steps up and like, I want you to, I want you to meet Goreb over here.
00:35:20.980 That's his name?
00:35:22.040 Yeah, Goreb.
00:35:22.860 Goreb, yeah.
00:35:23.480 What planet is he from?
00:35:24.620 I don't know.
00:35:25.500 I don't know.
00:35:26.080 I'm not, I'm not limiting it.
00:35:27.540 I just want, is Goreb as far as I'm willing to go out on a limb.
00:35:30.820 Someone who lives on another planet is announced in a press conference.
00:35:34.780 In a press conference.
00:35:35.920 In the United States.
00:35:36.760 And it's credible.
00:35:37.680 It's not like me holding the press conference going, hey, this is Goreb.
00:35:42.240 Right.
00:35:42.540 Like he comes out and he slithers to stage or something.
00:35:46.400 Whatever.
00:35:46.760 He could walk.
00:35:47.400 He might look like us.
00:35:48.320 He may not like look like us.
00:35:49.840 He may look like a, he may want to destroy us.
00:35:53.040 He may want to be, he may be dressed as Gandhi or Jesus.
00:35:56.480 I mean.
00:35:56.980 But a U.S., a major U.S. official making this announcement.
00:36:00.200 Yeah.
00:36:00.320 Or the, the world official, you know, the way it always happens.
00:36:03.300 Before 2020, I definitely would have said 0%.
00:36:05.840 But I mean, now 85, 90, I don't know.
00:36:09.100 No, seriously.
00:36:09.840 I would have said, I would have said maybe 5%, maybe in my lifetime, five years ago.
00:36:15.760 But with everything that has come out in the last four or five years, it's pretty hard
00:36:20.940 to, to dismiss because it's no longer kooks.
00:36:24.440 It's, it's the Pentagon.
00:36:27.360 Maybe they're all kooks.
00:36:30.180 That's possible.
00:36:31.580 Chance?
00:36:31.820 That's likely.
00:36:32.620 I'm still going to say zero.
00:36:34.600 Zero?
00:36:35.140 Mm-hmm.
00:36:35.540 I don't think there's any chance of that.
00:36:38.140 I'm up to a solid 1%, I think now.
00:36:40.480 Really?
00:36:40.780 I've gone from zero to one.
00:36:42.780 Have you really?
00:36:43.260 Well, because I mean, I, my guess is this is probably some, you know, military craft
00:36:48.220 or something.
00:36:48.680 I mean, we're pretty amazing.
00:36:49.820 Yeah.
00:36:50.080 And we've come up with a lot of really crazy things that we would not be able to explain
00:36:53.780 five or 10 years earlier than discovering them.
00:36:56.200 So I don't, you know.
00:36:57.420 I got to tell you, after 2020, I say 2021, after just this election.
00:37:03.040 Yeah.
00:37:04.080 Vampire space bunnies in a week.
00:37:07.060 Absolutely possible.
00:37:08.180 I'm surprised they're not here.
00:37:08.900 I say 90, 85, 90%.
00:37:10.420 85, 95, 90% vampire space bunnies take occupation and they kill us all.
00:37:17.160 But we don't know it because they're cute little bunnies.
00:37:19.920 Right.
00:37:20.260 And we're like, oh, look at a cute little bunny.
00:37:23.540 And they drink our blood.
00:37:26.440 Wait.
00:37:27.160 What was the last part?
00:37:28.920 By February.
00:37:32.360 This is actually the major U.S. official making the announcement.
00:37:35.620 It's Glenn.
00:37:35.900 This time every year around the end of the month, you know, you'll have a break in at
00:37:44.580 your house.
00:37:45.780 You know, I think it's the same guy, you know, breaking in my house, white hair, beard.
00:37:51.520 It reminds me of somebody handsome who has white hair and a beard.
00:37:55.040 Anyway, I plugged him with some buckshot a couple of times, but he always seems to come
00:38:00.580 back.
00:38:01.000 Well, not this year because I've got simply safe when that fat bastard comes in.
00:38:06.560 I am telling you right now he is going to jail.
00:38:10.180 What a stupid thief, too.
00:38:11.740 He leaves stuff.
00:38:13.540 Anyway, 50% off any simply safe system and a free security camera.
00:38:17.640 An amazing deal.
00:38:19.420 Now, if you don't want to catch Santa, make sure you don't turn it on on Christmas Eve.
00:38:23.040 Children get 40% off simply safe, plus a free security camera by visiting simply safe back
00:38:29.440 dot com.
00:38:30.180 The deal expires soon.
00:38:31.820 It's simply safe back dot com.
00:38:36.820 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:38:42.100 We have James Altucher on coming up in just a little while.
00:38:46.000 Also, Danny Presti and Louis Jellar, Jellar Mano.
00:38:52.540 This is these are the people that own Pax Max public house that have been arrested for
00:38:59.260 defying COVID-19 restrictions.
00:39:02.060 The Staten Island guys, right?
00:39:03.560 Yeah.
00:39:03.860 Yeah.
00:39:04.220 Yeah.
00:39:04.640 And they're going to pay.
00:39:06.600 They're going to pay big.
00:39:08.060 So we have them coming up.
00:39:09.580 That's in our three.
00:39:11.060 James Altucher is also going to be with us.
00:39:13.260 I want to talk to him a little bit about the lockdowns, the masks and what it's doing
00:39:18.700 to New York City.
00:39:19.540 New York City is toast.
00:39:21.300 He was right.
00:39:22.240 It is toast.
00:39:23.080 I don't see it coming back ever or just for a long, long time.
00:39:28.040 Things are going to have to really change.
00:39:29.940 James basically says never.
00:39:31.540 I mean, you know, I don't think it will ever be like it was when we were there.
00:39:35.720 I mean, I just I just don't know.
00:39:37.080 I think these cities.
00:39:37.860 I mean, Stu, this is exactly what I said would happen by 2030.
00:39:41.860 It just happened because of COVID a lot faster.
00:39:44.980 A lot of this stuff you've talked about has happened just a lot faster with this.
00:39:47.980 And yeah, different at a different source or different.
00:39:50.920 Yeah.
00:39:51.040 Maybe a different way.
00:39:52.000 But I mean, you always talked about it.
00:39:53.120 Some sort of like launching event for these circumstances to happen.
00:39:56.980 And I don't you know, you didn't never said it's going to be this particular virus from
00:40:00.960 this location.
00:40:01.540 Yeah.
00:40:02.080 But it is it is a qualifying.
00:40:04.060 Yeah.
00:40:04.320 Everybody would be working at home and, you know, these cities would start to rot because
00:40:08.700 nobody was working in giant buildings anymore.
00:40:11.120 And and jobs would change and life would change.
00:40:14.480 And and here we are.
00:40:15.800 So we have him on also next hour.
00:40:19.460 I'm hoping to get Ted Cruz.
00:40:22.100 No, not Ted Cruz, but the Ken Paxton, Ken Paxton, the secretary of state of Texas, because
00:40:28.540 they just filed a lawsuit on the election.
00:40:31.980 We'll give you more on that.
00:40:33.160 And next Harvard Medical School professor on infectious disease and public health.
00:40:42.260 And he's going to talk to us about all of the crazy stuff that is going on with the masks.
00:40:48.840 Are they can we question the masks?
00:40:51.420 Also, the the vaccine.
00:40:54.400 Should we take it?
00:40:55.780 Who should take it?
00:40:57.320 What does it all mean?
00:40:58.420 Again, next is the Glenn Beck program.
00:41:01.600 Hey, everybody knows PayPal.
00:41:03.400 But did you know that they were teaming up with honey to save you money?

00:42:05.180 So there is no denying that this has been a very crazy year and all of this chaos has prompted
00:42:10.540 families just like yours to consider getting a firearm for the first time.
00:42:14.840 There are now four hundred and like 50,000 fire 50 million firearms in the country.
00:42:21.900 It's up almost 100 million in the last 10 years.
00:42:25.040 Wow.
00:42:25.300 It's crazy.
00:42:26.100 If you're one of those families, are you considering firearms to protect your family?
00:42:29.620 Please, please, please get lessons and go to the range and know how to use it.
00:42:35.760 Also, you might want to consider protecting yourself with body armor.
00:42:39.000 That might be something that people are doing.
00:42:41.220 We're using body armor now when we send our reporters out into certain situations.
00:42:46.140 I watched the news this year.
00:42:47.560 I know we need body armor.
00:42:49.000 Jesus crazy, isn't it crazy?
00:42:50.620 AR 500 armor makes buying body armor really easy.
00:42:55.260 It's approachable and it is affordable.
00:42:57.840 This is the best time of the year to take advantage of all the special pricing that they have going on right now.
00:43:02.300 All throughout the month of December, they have specials on nearly every one of their most popular products.
00:43:07.700 Now is the best time to start preparing to ensure you and your family are protected.

00:43:20.040 AR 500 armor dot com slash back.
00:43:40.680 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:47.260 And this is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:54.000 I don't know about you, but I'm so sick and tired of being called the bad guy.
00:43:58.460 I'm sick and tired of hearing how bad Americans are by our politicians, by now, you know, our our public health officials.
00:44:07.980 There's a new report that has come out from Carnegie Mellon, and it shows that in all of the major cities.
00:44:18.440 We're masking up.
00:44:20.120 Remember, the deal was 80 percent.
00:44:22.800 If we could just get 80 percent of the people to wear masks, we'll flatten the curve and it'd be much more powerful than shutting things down.
00:44:29.560 So we did.
00:44:31.460 Well, our 80 percent, because if you listen to the media, oh, no, people just aren't doing it.
00:44:37.420 Ninety three percent of the population in Dallas.
00:44:41.220 Ninety seven percent in New York.
00:44:43.600 Ninety six in Los Angeles.
00:44:46.260 Ninety seven in San Francisco.
00:44:48.640 All over the country.
00:44:49.840 People are doing it in bigger numbers than they even said we needed to.
00:44:55.740 And yet it's growing.
00:44:57.960 Why are we the bad guys?
00:44:59.620 It doesn't seem to be working.
00:45:01.880 Will anyone recognize this?
00:45:05.300 Is there any more common sense?
00:45:07.180 Can you even question medical science now?
00:45:12.120 Can you?
00:45:13.600 I think we better.
00:45:15.900 It's the scientific method.
00:45:17.820 It's the only way we move forward, do something, then look at the results.
00:45:24.200 We have Dr.
00:45:26.080 Martin Kulldorff.
00:45:27.220 He is a Harvard Medical School professor.
00:45:31.120 He's an expert in this field.
00:45:34.480 We're going to try to get some real answers on what is happening with covid, the vaccine, the masks, all of it in 60 seconds.
00:45:44.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:49.880 All right.
00:45:50.500 It's that time.

00:47:11.360 Who are the scientists behind the Great Barrington Declaration?
00:47:21.140 All three have advocated against lockdown measures since the start of the pandemic.
00:47:27.040 After the authors of the declaration promoting herd immunity spoke to White House officials last week,
00:47:32.360 the scientific community immediately called into question the declaration,
00:47:36.820 as well as the scientists who wrote it.
00:47:39.860 Bum, bum, bum.
00:47:43.180 They must be evil.
00:47:44.780 Well, one of the doctors that actually authored it is with us now.
00:47:50.860 His name is Dr. Martin Kulldorff.
00:47:53.360 He is from Harvard Medical School.
00:47:56.200 Professor, doctor, welcome.
00:47:59.160 Thank you very much.
00:48:00.180 It's a great pleasure.
00:48:00.700 So let me just voice what I think is the frustration of many Americans,
00:48:09.600 and that is we don't hate grandma.
00:48:12.620 We're not trying to kill grandma.
00:48:14.160 We love grandma.
00:48:15.100 We love our parents.
00:48:16.240 We are smart enough to figure out that grandma probably shouldn't be around at Christmas or Thanksgiving,
00:48:23.180 you know, or anybody else with the with, you know, circumstances that will make them much, much more vulnerable.
00:48:30.200 But our kids should go to school.
00:48:32.640 Our kids are being destroyed.
00:48:34.940 Colleges are out of control with their belief that they're they're a target college age kids.
00:48:40.420 This is bad for a small percentage of the population, a cherished population.
00:48:48.720 But we should protect them and we'll do the masks, but it doesn't seem to be working.
00:48:56.000 Can you respond to any of those feelings?
00:48:59.020 Yeah.
00:48:59.460 Oh, yes.
00:49:00.220 So with the Great Brown Declaration, we are advocating focused protection.
00:49:05.640 And a big part of that is that we have to do a better job protecting grandma and grandpa, which we have not done.
00:49:12.540 It has been a huge failure with this lockdown strategy.
00:49:15.580 It has not managed to protect the older, vulnerable people.
00:49:20.060 And for all people, COVID-19 is more dangerous than the anti-influencers.
00:49:24.820 So we have to do a better job.
00:49:26.160 We have to do more testing of staff at nursing homes so that do not infect the residents.
00:49:32.440 And Scott Atlas, for example, has worked hard on that in August and September and October when he was at the White House.
00:49:39.400 And we also have to have less transportation at nursing homes.
00:49:41.860 So we can do and we should do much more to protect the older, vulnerable people.
00:49:48.060 But for younger people, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than the anti-influencers.
00:49:55.460 There's more than a thousand.
00:49:56.460 Well, anybody can get infected.
00:49:58.020 There's more than a thousandfold difference in mortality risk by age.
00:50:01.380 So there's absolutely no public health reason to keep schools closed or keep the universities closed.
00:50:09.100 The students should go to the classes for in-person teaching.
00:50:14.460 And the problem is with all these lockdowns, there are enormous collateral damage.
00:50:19.480 And that includes collateral damage on public health.
00:50:24.940 The education is, schools are good, important not only for education, but also for physical and mental health of children and students and of social development.
00:50:34.800 We have worse cardiovascular disease outcomes.
00:50:38.340 We have less cancers, but that's not because there are fewer cancers.
00:50:43.200 They're not detected and therefore they're not being properly treated.
00:50:45.860 So somebody who might have lived another 15, 20 years may now die from, for example, cervical cancer in only three or four years because they didn't get the screening.
00:50:58.040 And, of course, the mental health has been deteriorating.
00:51:01.680 So there's all this collateral damage from the lockdowns.
00:51:05.720 And one of the principles of public health is you can't just think of one disease.
00:51:09.980 You have to think of everything combined and all those other diseases, all other public health.
00:51:15.960 It feels as though the cure right now is worse than the disease.
00:51:25.420 And the population is made to feel like it's their fault.
00:51:30.720 And as these numbers come out and show that we're 95 percent compliant all over the country, and they told us that if we were 80 percent compliant, it would flatten the curve.
00:51:43.160 It shows us that something is wrong.
00:51:46.020 And I don't think it's the American people not wearing masks.
00:51:50.020 The problem is possibly do the masks even work?
00:51:54.140 Yeah, so I think the population, the public, has done a heroic effort to try to follow the various public health advice that has been out there.
00:52:10.600 The problem is that the public health advice has not been the best possible.
00:52:16.920 So we would have had many fewer deaths, much less mortality, if we had followed a focused protection strategy outside in the Great Barrington Declaration.
00:52:29.960 So for anybody who didn't follow the Great Barrington recommendation, you and two other scientists got together and you wrote this declaration.
00:52:41.500 Then you opened it up for people to sign it.
00:52:43.840 And, of course, now you're suspect, everybody's suspect, that we're near this, that you're just near quacks.
00:52:51.880 What does it actually say?
00:52:55.660 So it starts from the premises that the mortality risk is more than a thousandfold difference between the oldest and the youngest.
00:53:03.160 So this is not a dangerous disease for children or young adults.
00:53:07.280 It is a dangerous disease for old and frail people.
00:53:10.420 And, therefore, we need to do a better job protecting the old, while the young people, young adults, should be allowed to live their lives normally.
00:53:20.500 We cannot eliminate the risk 100%, but we can mitigate it and minimize the risk and minimize mortality.
00:53:27.420 So if I would give people the benefit of the doubt, I would look at, you know, the gathering of Event 201, where, you know, some of the best minds around the world got together and said, OK, so if there is some sort of pandemic, what do we do?
00:53:49.380 And the idea was, for the first time, we can we can close everything.
00:53:54.300 We can do it globally and close everything.
00:53:57.500 And they thought that if you give them the benefit of the doubt, they thought that that would work.
00:54:02.220 Well, it's clearly not working.
00:54:04.700 So why what is what is what is what what what's happening?
00:54:10.140 Why are we denying things like herd mentality when we know that is is our herd immunity?
00:54:20.120 When we know that that is the way our bodies work and viruses work.
00:54:24.620 Yeah, herd immunity is is a scientific fact that's like gravity.
00:54:30.740 So it doesn't make sense to talk about herd immunity strategy, because whatever we do, we will eventually reach herd immunity.
00:54:38.180 So the key thing is to minimize mortality until we get there.
00:54:41.480 And what we're doing now is we are protecting low risk professionals who can work from home, like lawyers or journalists like you or scientists like me, who don't need to be protected.
00:54:54.620 Because risk is very low.
00:54:56.660 At the same time, we have older people still in the workforce who work as a cab driver or a supermarket cashier or a janitor or in the in the meat processing industry who are being exposed, even though they're high risk.
00:55:12.560 So that leads to excess mortality and more deaths than necessary.
00:55:19.680 And we should protect older people, which we're not doing properly.
00:55:24.620 So in my view, the lockdowns is the worst assault on the working class in half of centuries in segregation and they get no war.
00:55:34.600 Is there anything to the locking down of restaurants with, you know, with with no outdoor, you know, service, et cetera, et cetera?
00:55:44.980 You just can't even gather outdoors.
00:55:47.380 Is there anything to that?
00:55:48.660 Well, well, well, if a grandpa is 76 years old, he should not go to a crowded restaurant.
00:55:55.520 Yeah, but we we know that.
00:55:57.580 I mean, that's the crazy thing.
00:55:59.400 It we every American knows that grandma and grandpa and mom and dad, depending on their age and their health, they should not be out.
00:56:09.600 We know that.
00:56:11.500 What about the rest of everybody?
00:56:13.240 If you're in your 20s or 30s, there's absolutely no risk, no, no reason for public health reason not to live a normal life.
00:56:21.740 You should still wash your hands and if you're sick, stay home.
00:56:24.060 But other than that, live a normal life and make sure that society operates.
00:56:29.960 That's very important for for both health and well-being in general.
00:56:35.680 Have you looked into the the the vaccines and are you confident at all at this point that it's going to help?
00:56:47.680 Are we going to be in this situation, you know, for a long time?
00:56:53.880 Well, I'm a big fan of vaccines.
00:56:56.360 So if we have a good vaccine, that will help.
00:56:58.920 That will make it there will be one more tool to protect the older people in two ways.
00:57:06.540 It's both by vaccinating old people and also to vaccinate staff at nursing homes and hospital staff like doctors and nurses.
00:57:18.220 And well, they're talking about having a vaccination passport now for everybody that everybody will have to have the vaccine.
00:57:26.880 Do you agree with mandatory vaccines?
00:57:29.580 No, I think that public health must be based on trust between the public and public health officials.
00:57:39.600 So I think putting it, making a vaccine, mandating a vaccine will lower that trust.
00:57:47.320 And I think it actually will last backfire and have less people wanting to get the vaccine.
00:57:53.220 I think you're exactly right.
00:57:54.880 It's not a smart public health policy to mandate vaccinations.
00:57:58.020 I think that is exactly why this has become what it is now.
00:58:03.480 People are skeptical because they're being told exactly what to do and you have no choice.
00:58:08.300 And if you just ask people, you know, and say, hey, here are the facts.
00:58:12.580 Do this.
00:58:13.840 We we have always done it.
00:58:17.200 We always were smart enough to figure things out.
00:58:21.040 Doctor, one last question.
00:58:22.280 Are you concerned at all about your your position at Harvard?
00:58:27.180 I mean, there was a there's been a lot of people that are being fired for these things.
00:58:31.180 One of the one of them was a doctor that was just fired in or or just had his license revoked in Oregon for speaking out against masks.
00:58:41.700 How do you feel about this?
00:58:42.900 And are you concerned at all about your positions?
00:58:45.680 I'm very concerned about science in general, because science requires scientific discourse, open scientific discourse.
00:58:58.800 And to ignore or silence scientists so that you don't have that is a bad thing for science.
00:59:05.640 I'm very concerned about the scientific community.
00:59:08.840 And when even if people are not fired, if there are some criticism like there has been of many scientists speaking up, that makes other people afraid to speak up.
00:59:18.280 So it creates a fear in the scientific community.
00:59:20.480 And I think that's extremely detrimental, both to science in general, but also, of course, to public health.
00:59:27.420 Are you the the average scientist?
00:59:31.740 You're just willing to speak out or do you think you guys are fairly alone on your concern about the way science is is being used right now?
00:59:41.100 There are many people who are that concern and there's also many people who are concerned about the lockdown.
00:59:48.400 So among the infectious disease technologies that I talk to personally, that I know personally, the majority is in favor of focus protection and against lockdowns.
01:00:00.400 I think in the scientific community in general, most people who's outside of infectious disease technology, most people who speak out speak in favor of lockdowns.
01:00:11.640 But among infectious disease technologies, the majority are against lockdowns and in favor of focus protection among those that I speak to personally.
01:00:21.240 Dr. Martin Kulldorff, thank you for speaking out.
01:00:26.160 Thank you for having the courage to speak out and we will keep you in our prayers.
01:00:30.840 Thank you very much.
01:00:32.500 Thank you so much.
01:00:33.440 Great pleasure talking to you.
01:00:34.560 Likewise.
01:00:36.460 I mean, think of that.
01:00:37.420 I think how brave that is.
01:00:39.740 I mean, is anybody else getting just like, you know, flashbacks of things we've learned in history that should never be repeated?
01:00:47.040 It seems like scientists and doctors should be able to say the things that they believe.
01:00:52.560 Jeez.
01:00:53.120 And that does seem important.
01:00:55.120 Somewhere deep in the heart of the automotive manufacturing plant in a room with all the shades pulled down, a little man with a big cigar has just pulled out his car's warranty and looked at the date.
01:01:06.660 He smiles, chewing on that cigar.
01:01:09.740 There's no computer in this room, just a button, big red button.
01:01:12.920 It says post warranty car trouble and with a little evil laugh, the man with a cigar in the basement of the big auto manufacturing company laughs as he pushes it.

01:02:10.620 Station ID.
01:02:22.080 I am here in my studio.
01:02:27.340 Stu, would you be willing to get that for me?
01:02:29.260 Here in my studio.
01:02:31.040 I brought this in a couple of days ago.
01:02:32.860 I need somebody to restore it.
01:02:34.640 Somebody who really knows what they're doing.
01:02:36.660 It's an old radio.
01:02:39.540 And it's from Germany.
01:02:42.460 In the late 1930s, the Nazis had taken power and they began to tell everyone, you needed to replace your radio.
01:02:53.200 And this was one of them.
01:02:55.340 And if you could be close up, you weren't, you weren't listening to us.
01:03:00.040 You would see the little Nazi symbol with the eagle and the swastika on each side of the dial.
01:03:06.400 This radio was a radio was a radio that would not allow anyone to pick up any other radio station other than the approved radio stations so they could censor to make sure that you never got any kind of outside information or anything different than what the government was telling you.
01:03:31.140 As I'm listening to this doctor, I'm looking over at this radio, I'm looking over at this radio sitting here waiting to be fixed.
01:03:39.400 And I think to myself, what is the difference?
01:03:43.020 I mean, they didn't start with the radios.
01:03:47.560 First, they just scared everybody into silence.
01:03:51.580 They told everybody to sit down and shut up.
01:03:54.780 And they did.
01:03:56.260 Because it can't get worse than this.
01:03:58.000 Then, they made it illegal to have a radio that could pick up anything other than the approved frequencies.
01:04:05.120 Well, what is high tech doing to us now?
01:04:08.780 What are people who are afraid they're going to be on a list because they like a certain page or they subscribe to The Blaze?
01:04:16.560 What is that?
01:04:20.100 It's the same operation.
01:04:22.220 I think we better learn from history because we are damn close to repeating it.

01:04:56.580 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:05:04.520 All right.
01:05:05.080 Let me tell you a little bit about our sponsor.
01:05:07.400 It's called Tempantoss.
01:05:08.900 I don't know about you, but the old-fashioned way of taking a baby's temperature.
01:05:15.460 You know, I feel temperature taking should be free of buttage myself.
01:05:19.620 Um, uh, but the butt apparently is also not really accurate with, uh, with babies.
01:05:25.180 These days with coronavirus looking around, everyone getting their temperatures taken a lot more frequency, uh, frequently accurate, uh, temperatures really matter.
01:05:34.140 Let me tell you about Tempantoss, the revolutionary, new, accurate way to keep tabs on temperatures.
01:05:39.700 And it's really, it was designed for kids because it's so easy.
01:05:43.040 It's a paper thermometer.
01:05:44.080 It can be stuck on the forehead, give you hours of accurate temperature readings without the need of, uh, buddage.
01:05:50.300 You know what I'm saying?
01:05:51.000 The paper thermometers come also on a roll and you can buy them, you know, just at the, you know, your, your, uh, regular retailer.
01:05:58.000 You can buy them in normal packs or you can get them up to 5,000 for corporations like Ford, which is now using Tempantoss.
01:06:05.460 Find them at Tempantoss.com slash back to work and major retailers, Tempantoss.

01:06:49.200 She has a black list.
01:06:51.900 She's jacking it thrice.
01:06:53.940 Gonna throw down when Kamala is vice.
01:06:58.460 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:05.300 She sees you when you're tweeting.
01:07:09.500 She knows when you're not woke.
01:07:13.440 She knows if you've been pimping Trump.
01:07:17.280 And for that, she'd like you choked.
01:07:20.480 Oh, you better recant.
01:07:23.880 If not, then you're toast.
01:07:25.900 She's got you a spot down at Guantanamo.
01:07:29.320 You better believe it.
01:07:30.100 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:33.300 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:34.300 Oh, yeah.
01:07:37.460 With greenest new deals, plus taxes galore.
01:07:42.300 Lopping off heads and packing the courts.
01:07:45.500 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:49.700 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:50.700 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:52.700 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:53.700 AOC is shutting you down.
01:07:54.700 Then Antifa will rally.
01:07:56.700 Burn down the GOP.
01:07:59.700 They're gonna build Utopia once they cancel you and me.
01:08:08.700 So, you better mask up.
01:08:12.000 You better lock down.
01:08:13.980 Turn that mega smile into a commie frown.
01:08:18.500 AOC is shutting you down.
01:08:21.600 Oh, AOC is shutting you down.
01:08:25.700 Listen.
01:08:26.540 AOC is shutting you down.
01:08:30.700 Yes, she is.
01:08:33.740 By the way, I just have to say, one guy I absolutely love is the CEO of Goya.
01:08:42.800 Remember, he was the guy who spoke out for Donald Trump.
01:08:46.380 And then AOC called for a boycott of all of his products.
01:08:51.460 And it didn't go so well.
01:08:54.320 So, the CEO decided to name AOC the employee of the month because sales went up so dramatically.
01:09:06.280 He just wanted to do something to thank her.
01:09:09.680 Fantastic.
01:09:10.300 For that.
01:09:10.960 And I love that.
01:09:12.000 I love that.
01:09:12.520 It's fantastic.
01:09:13.220 That means she actually was productive for the first time.
01:09:14.900 She was.
01:09:15.240 For the very first time.
01:09:16.260 She helped the free market, which I think is fantastic.
01:09:20.460 She's also doing that with her $58 sweatshirts.
01:09:22.800 Or eat the rich sweatshirts.
01:09:26.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:09:26.660 And people were like, hey, you realize you're selling sweatshirts for $58?
01:09:31.120 She said, well, this just happens to be the cost of if you do everything with living wage.
01:09:36.660 Uh-huh.
01:09:37.360 Uh-huh.
01:09:37.920 Uh-huh.
01:09:38.120 Really?
01:09:38.640 You're right.
01:09:39.200 That's right.
01:09:39.720 Exactly right.
01:09:40.220 All of our sweatshirts will cost $58 to $65 if you get in control of things.
01:09:44.260 You're right.
01:09:44.620 That's a commercial against you.
01:09:47.420 Is what it is.
01:09:48.260 No, because she can make them all free.
01:09:50.220 Oh.
01:09:50.620 You'll get a sweatshirt once you get your loan absolved.
01:09:53.960 So it'll be great.
01:09:55.600 All right.
01:09:56.640 Monday, just before midnight, the state of Texas filed a lawsuit that they are saying
01:10:02.120 now is more important than all of the others surrounding the presidential election.
01:10:07.320 Texas brought a suit against four states that they say did something that they can't do.
01:10:13.320 They violated the Constitution in their conduct of the presidential election.
01:10:19.500 The violation occurred whether or regardless of the amount of election fraud that they may
01:10:24.380 have had or even if it turns the election.
01:10:29.000 The four defendant states are Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
01:10:34.080 Texas filed the suit directly in the Supreme Court.
01:10:38.500 Article three of the Constitution says that there is a category of cases which the Supreme
01:10:43.660 Court has original jurisdiction.
01:10:46.280 And one of those categories is controversies between two or more states.
01:10:51.860 Well, that's exactly what this is.
01:10:54.420 Now, the Supreme Court has said in the past they may not take all of these cases.
01:10:59.840 It'll take them at their discretion.
01:11:02.500 But this is one the Supreme Court should hear and should be on record.
01:11:08.840 No matter how they decide, they should be on record.
01:11:12.780 Now, here's what the Texas suit claims, and it's, I think, compelling.
01:11:21.040 It's something that bothered me before the election, and we talked about it before the election.
01:11:26.320 The four offending states violated the U.S. Constitution in two different ways.
01:11:33.580 First, all four of them violated the electors clause of Article two of the Constitution
01:11:38.980 when executive or judicial officials in the states changed the rules of the election
01:11:45.280 without going through the legislature.
01:11:47.780 This is what we were talking about.
01:11:50.040 All these states just had the either a judge or the governor just say,
01:11:56.320 Oh, we're changing.
01:11:57.320 Here's what we're doing.
01:11:58.400 That's against the Constitution of the states and against the U.S. Constitution.
01:12:04.660 You can't do that.
01:12:06.520 It has to be through the legislature.
01:12:08.980 Well, the judge, it was ruled on by the local judges, and the local judges said,
01:12:15.620 Nope, it's fine.
01:12:17.200 Well, is it?
01:12:19.860 The electors clause requires that each state shall appoint its presidential electors
01:12:26.240 in such a manner as the legislature thereof may direct.
01:12:30.980 Now, the reason why this is in there in the early years of our country,
01:12:36.940 the legislators appointed their presidential electors directly without holding a popular election for the president.
01:12:43.520 That changed, obviously.
01:12:46.080 But the constitutional principle remained the same.
01:12:49.640 It doesn't matter whether the state appoints its electors by a vote in the legislature or by the vote of a people.
01:12:58.620 It is still the state legislature and only the state legislature that sets the rules for the election.
01:13:06.540 That way, you can't have what just happened.
01:13:10.100 Somebody getting into power, changing all the rules, and now all of the election is screwed up.
01:13:14.620 So when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended by three days the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots,
01:13:24.160 we said this at the time.
01:13:26.340 You can't do that.
01:13:28.060 But it was not a law passed by the state legislature.
01:13:33.440 In fact, it went against that law.
01:13:36.920 The state court changed the rules in violation of the electors clause of the U.S. Constitution.
01:13:43.860 Similarly, when Georgia's secretary of state responded to a lawsuit by entering into a compromise settlement with the Democrats,
01:13:52.180 they modified the signature verification requirements spelled out by Georgia law that was changing the rules.
01:14:01.220 In fact, the Republicans weren't even involved in that.
01:14:04.400 This one guy, a Republican, met with all the Democrats.
01:14:08.020 They said, this is what they want.
01:14:09.620 This is what we want.
01:14:10.540 And he said, OK, and gave it to them.
01:14:13.740 Well, where is the due process on that one?
01:14:16.120 Also, election officials in Wayne County, Michigan, ignored the requirements of Michigan law and denied poll watchers access to vote counting
01:14:26.260 while other counties in Michigan followed the law.
01:14:29.340 This violates the Equal Protection Clause.
01:14:32.140 Now, this one is really important, and I don't know how the Supreme Court wouldn't take this on and rule exactly the same way.
01:14:43.180 In Wisconsin, it happened.
01:14:45.420 The administrator of the city of Milwaukee's Election Commission ignored the requirements of Wisconsin law
01:14:51.240 and directed election workers to write in the addresses of witnesses on the envelopes containing mail-in ballots
01:14:57.540 while the ballots without witness addresses were deemed invalid everywhere else.
01:15:03.300 That means those ballots were unequal.
01:15:08.040 They had unequal treatment to other places in the state.
01:15:12.640 Now, what they're doing, and these may not change the outcome of the election at all,
01:15:19.460 but everyone should be very focused on this because did you hear Maduro won again last night in a free and fair election?
01:15:29.520 And all of his allies won as well.
01:15:31.100 Now, once you corrupt the system, it's over.
01:15:35.520 We have to have confidence in our system.
01:15:39.420 So now this is a pure question of law.
01:15:42.460 It's not dependent on disputed facts.
01:15:46.240 Although the changes, the unconstitutional changes to the election rules could have facilitated voter fraud,
01:15:53.300 there's no proof, and there's not even an accusation.
01:15:56.840 They don't need a single case of fraud to win.
01:16:00.960 It's enough that four states violated the Constitution.
01:16:04.700 So the lawsuit asked the court to remand the appointment of electors in the four states back to the state legislatures.
01:16:16.000 Supreme Court in 1892 said the case of in McPherson and Blacker,
01:16:21.240 whatever provisions may be made by statute or by the state constitution to choose electors by the people,
01:16:28.080 there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time.
01:16:34.700 Now, the reason why this is so important is because the Supreme Court knows that 20 years ago,
01:16:46.720 this very case was made about Florida.
01:16:50.780 You can't count the ballots differently in one county than you did in the rest of Florida.
01:16:58.680 Remember, Al Gore just wanted to cherry pick the counties where he was doing well and have a recount.
01:17:04.700 And the Republicans said, you can't do that.
01:17:07.300 You'll recount the entire state the same way.
01:17:10.260 Went to the Supreme Court.
01:17:11.880 They said that that is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.
01:17:18.860 So why wouldn't they say that this time?
01:17:24.800 Texas followed the constitutional rules.
01:17:28.180 Other states followed the constitutional rules.
01:17:33.420 If other states are allowed to violate those same rules.
01:17:39.780 It's not just a question of constitutional law.
01:17:42.460 It's a.
01:17:43.100 Oh, they're going to hate this.
01:17:45.740 It's a basic matter.
01:17:47.840 Of fairness.
01:17:48.900 If you have a home and you haven't refinanced yet, what are you waiting for?
01:17:59.880 Mortgage rates have been lower than ever this year.
01:18:02.720 It's going to get harder and harder to get a loan, I believe.
01:18:05.920 It means you could drop your interest rate.
01:18:08.100 If you get a loan today at a low interest rate, you could drop your interest rate, your local, your monthly payment for your home.
01:18:16.200 If you roll in your insurance, I'm sorry, your credit cards.
01:18:19.720 I am so scattered today.
01:18:20.740 I'm so sorry.
01:18:22.080 You roll in your credit cards, high interest debt.
01:18:25.620 But you're going to save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars every single month.
01:18:31.500 2021.
01:18:33.700 I hate saying this.
01:18:35.600 Is going to be worse than 2020.
01:18:37.780 It's going to be more insane.
01:18:39.860 It's vitally important right now that you have your financial house in order.
01:18:46.420 If you're like a lot of Americans, maybe you've gotten a mountain of credit card debt.
01:18:51.500 Get that monkey off of your back.

01:19:14.660 Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.
01:19:17.120 You've heard of the Green New Deal.
01:19:18.960 But there's a digital New Deal being made to decide what you think, say, and share with your friends.
01:19:25.620 Those of us in journalism have to come to terms with the fact that free speech, a principle that we hold sacred, is being weaponized against the principles of journalism.
01:19:33.740 Glenn reveals the terrifying new levels of censorship happening right now.
01:19:38.200 Watch how digital dictators plan to kill free speech.
01:19:41.000 There is a very dangerous misconception about free speech lurking on the left, including among the big tech elite.
01:19:59.660 Which is the idea that true speech deserves protection as free speech.
01:20:06.620 True speech.
01:20:08.280 That gets the protection.
01:20:11.100 Free speech.
01:20:11.720 They are now the truth detectors.
01:20:16.400 And in essence, if you want every tweet, every Facebook post, every YouTube video up there, set to their lie detector machine,
01:20:28.740 if their algorithms detect anything that doesn't align with their left-wing dogma,
01:20:33.520 then it's false, it's labeled, it's censored.
01:20:39.400 It's, I love these.
01:20:41.440 We'll do stories on something, but it will say, we'll get censored.
01:20:45.860 And it will say because there wasn't context.
01:20:48.420 Wasn't full context.
01:20:50.260 What do you mean there wasn't full context?
01:20:52.120 No, I don't tell you the story of America and the slave trade every time I want to talk about Martin Luther King.
01:20:59.640 We just assume you're up to speed on some of those things.
01:21:05.720 But they're saying now that, well, you have to provide context.
01:21:09.560 Excuse me.
01:21:11.080 And this is done by their international fact-checking network.
01:21:15.520 Tomorrow night, I'm going to expose this fact-checking network.
01:21:20.680 It's just a label that provides the left with a facade of legitimacy while they silence dissent.
01:21:27.800 One of the groups that is IFCN certified is called Lead Stories.
01:21:37.020 The Lead Stories, the founder, the co-founder, and its staff used to work at CNN.
01:21:43.600 Okay.
01:21:44.820 Nothing to see there, right?
01:21:46.820 But fact-check assures you that this is independent, non-partisan, certified fact-checking entry.
01:21:53.840 It's very, very official.
01:21:55.400 But Lead Stories is funded by Facebook and Google.
01:22:00.420 Oh, and another, ByteDance.
01:22:02.220 Who's ByteDance?
01:22:04.060 Well, ByteDance is the Chinese company that owns TikTok.
01:22:09.200 Again, nothing to see here.
01:22:10.860 China is great.
01:22:12.720 Now, you might remember the reports late last year about how China's communist government instructs TikTok
01:22:18.000 to censor videos critical of the Chinese government.
01:22:21.460 But other than that, there's nothing weird about a Chinese company that censors political content funding an American fact-checking company that also censors political content.
01:22:32.780 We're only scratching the surface.
01:22:37.520 But voices are being shut down by digital dictators, and they plan to kill free speech.
01:22:46.680 Plus, Candace Owens will join me to talk about the lawsuit she has with Mark Zuckerberg.
01:22:54.960 She's fighting back, and it seems to be working.
01:22:59.260 That's tomorrow night, 9 p.m.

01:23:20.260 So Danny Presti and his partner were a little upset that their bar had to close in New York City.
01:23:28.360 Well, Bill de Blasio said this.
01:23:30.500 But let's be clear, the most important thing is what this guy did, and it was absolutely unacceptable.
01:23:37.520 I'm sure this is a guy who would say he's all in favor of law and order.
01:23:42.160 And, you know, he's making a big deal about what's happened with his bar.
01:23:46.840 Well, guess what?
01:23:47.640 Law and order means when the state of New York says your bar needs to be closed, your bar needs to be closed to protect people's health and safety.
01:23:54.860 No excuses.
01:23:56.020 And when you violate the law, there will be consequences.
01:23:58.260 And then if you take an action against a law enforcement officer, there will be even more consequences.
01:24:03.040 So this guy is a hypocrite.
01:24:04.560 He's about to pay the price for his hypocrisy.
01:24:06.900 Wow.
01:24:07.080 It's good to hear that Bill de Blasio will stand up for the police officers that are injured by somebody who is fighting against them.
01:24:14.400 Or not, speaking of hypocrites, we have Presley's dad or attorney on with us.
01:24:23.400 I'm sorry.
01:24:24.080 I'm so scattered today.
01:24:25.980 We have his attorney on with us coming up in in just a few minutes.
01:24:31.140 Also, James Altature will comment on this Bitcoin and the state of New York in 60 seconds.

01:24:43.440 It's hard to up one, you know, with perfection.
01:24:46.160 I try every day, but it turns out I just can't do it.
01:24:49.360 Just can't do it.
01:24:50.260 In the Hall of Fame.
01:24:51.200 Sure.
01:24:51.780 Yeah.
01:24:52.260 But can I improve on this performance?
01:24:54.940 I don't think so, Stu.
01:24:56.120 Just don't think so.
01:24:57.160 Yeah, me neither.
01:24:58.780 I have no faith in you.

01:26:21.640 James Altucher is an entrepreneur.
01:26:26.280 Pretty good at that.
01:26:27.800 Angel investor.
01:26:29.160 Pretty good at that.
01:26:30.720 A chess master.
01:26:32.200 Yeah, he's kind of iffy.
01:26:33.940 And a great writer.
01:26:35.700 Hello, James.
01:26:36.220 How are you?
01:26:37.600 Glenn, so good to be here.
01:26:38.940 I'm doing really good.
01:26:39.940 How are you doing?
01:26:40.500 That's great.
01:26:41.020 It's always good to have you on.
01:26:42.140 How are you doing with the demise of New York?
01:26:45.860 I know you are a lifelong New Yorker who reluctantly said, I think it's over.
01:26:52.820 Then Jerry Seinfeld, for some reason, attacks you for it, and it looks like you're right.
01:26:59.540 Yeah, you know, and the thing is, Jerry and I are technically on the same side of this, which is that no one wants New York to die.
01:27:07.060 I presented some facts that I was seeing that were undeniable, and everybody wanted to shoot the messenger.
01:27:16.340 But then I called people ranging from mayoral candidates to congressmen to even the Federal Reserve looking for solutions.
01:27:24.540 Everybody seems to be in denial.
01:27:27.160 I wrote that article three months ago.
01:27:29.200 New York City is in war shape now.
01:27:31.380 And there's articles, you just quoted de Blasio, I think he needs a course on law and order.
01:27:38.440 You can't close down businesses without due process.
01:27:41.100 90% of restaurants in New York City are going to go out of business.
01:27:44.380 Cuomo's going to ban indoor dining next week in New York City.
01:27:48.660 Businesses are collapsing.
01:27:50.220 Employees are going unemployed.
01:27:52.240 City workers are getting fired.
01:27:54.380 Trash collectors, EMT workers, teachers, police, health care.
01:27:58.660 How are you going to, James, how are you, I mean, I love New York City.
01:28:03.520 I think it's one of the greatest, it doesn't like me, but I think it's one of the greatest cities in the world.
01:28:09.840 And I don't see it ever coming back to the way it used to be.
01:28:14.320 I can't even figure out how it doesn't become escape from New York soon.
01:28:18.900 You know, Glenn, I agree.
01:28:22.460 And again, I talked to a lot of smart people about it who should be on tap with solutions.
01:28:28.540 It's very difficult.
01:28:30.060 Money is leaving New York.
01:28:31.480 And people say, good riddance, the rich are leaving.
01:28:34.540 But it's not the rich are leaving.
01:28:36.400 It's 80,000 small restaurants.
01:28:39.360 It's mom and pop landowners.
01:28:41.240 It's the people who are 10 months behind on their rent who are never going to pay.
01:28:45.160 You know, there's two billion, one in four New Yorkers have not paid rent since March.
01:28:49.300 They're not going to suddenly pay on January 1st.
01:28:51.740 They're just going to leave.
01:28:53.440 Half a million people have already left New York.
01:28:55.660 It's the largest flight out of New York City ever.
01:28:58.280 So when people say you can't say this time is different, this time is very, very different.
01:29:02.960 The economy has been shut down.
01:29:04.720 People have left.
01:29:05.880 You know, I saw that number about how many people left.
01:29:09.760 They say it is bigger than the exodus right after 9-11.
01:29:12.940 But 9-11, you still had things going for you.
01:29:16.520 You just needed courage.
01:29:18.140 And you also had Rudy Giuliani, who was good for business.
01:29:22.260 He was doing the opposite.
01:29:24.060 Stay here.
01:29:24.820 Stay here.
01:29:25.420 Continue to build.
01:29:27.200 Where now it's just the complete opposite.
01:29:30.100 Shut it down.
01:29:30.780 Shut it down.
01:29:31.400 Stop doing everything.
01:29:33.480 I mean, I was in the World Trade Center on 9-11.
01:29:36.920 I lived three blocks away.
01:29:39.200 It was rough.
01:29:40.300 And, you know, but the entire world rallied behind New York City, helped New York City rebuild.
01:29:47.120 There was love for New York.
01:29:48.800 New Yorkers loved New York, wanted to rebuild.
01:29:52.180 The same thing is not happening now.
01:29:54.040 There is, you know, there is so much, there is so much kind of fighting.
01:29:58.600 There's, there's, the violence is up 150% year over year.
01:30:02.280 Murders are up.
01:30:03.080 Uh, and again, it's not just like a few businesses downtown are closed for a little while.
01:30:09.320 It's, it's probably going to be about a hundred thousand businesses closed in New York.
01:30:13.600 Just the other day, there was news.
01:30:15.600 70 financial firms, including Goldman Sachs asset manager business have moved from New York to Palm Beach, Florida.
01:30:23.580 Yep.
01:30:23.760 So there's an exodus.
01:30:25.760 And how do you pay for New York's probably, in my back of the envelope, Matt, New York is probably about a hundred billion dollars in the hole.
01:30:33.220 How are you going to pay for that with no taxes collected?
01:30:36.660 Because everybody who pays taxes is leaving.
01:30:39.000 And the people that are the worst off, the people like this bar owner that's just trying to keep their restaurant and their bar open,
01:30:45.980 they can't move to West Palm.
01:30:49.560 They're not moving.
01:30:50.520 They, they're stuck there.
01:30:52.420 I know.
01:30:53.140 And that's, that's the sad thing.
01:30:54.940 You, it's, it's in the constitution.
01:30:57.320 People need due process before property is taken away.
01:31:01.140 This guy's business, this livelihood was taken away.
01:31:04.360 And it's not just him.
01:31:05.500 It's every restaurant owner all around.
01:31:08.980 I'm standing in New York city right now, all around me, restaurants that have been staples for decades are out of business.
01:31:15.980 The people who work there out of business moved out.
01:31:19.300 The people, the employees move back to wherever they're from.
01:31:23.020 This is not just something that affects quote unquote, the rich, nor is this.
01:31:27.340 A lot of people are saying, Oh, well, this will go to a back to the seventies, which was this artistic utopia where the rents were low.
01:31:34.420 No, I was there in the seventies.
01:31:36.040 It was disgusting.
01:31:37.420 And it's not, it's actually even going to be worse than the seventies because at least in the seventies, businesses were open.
01:31:43.020 Let me, let me switch gears slightly.
01:31:46.620 You're right about the constitution and you're also right about there has to be compensation.
01:31:51.900 If the government takes away something of yours or destroys it, they have to have fair compensation for that.
01:32:00.560 I I've been saying from the very beginning when they said, we're going to close down businesses for more than two weeks.
01:32:05.880 I've said that this is a huge lawsuit just waiting to happen on behalf of all of the people who have lost business because they weren't allowed to open it up.
01:32:16.820 But that brings me to, well, we'll just print more money.
01:32:21.100 I mean, the value of the dollar is, you know, did you know that the federal reserve has printed more money?
01:32:29.120 In fact, they've printed three quarters of all of the money they have printed in 107 years.
01:32:36.920 They've printed three quarters of that amount recently.
01:32:42.740 Yes.
01:32:43.280 And, you know, I even look, I even called people at the federal reserve to talk about New York city just for my own benefit.
01:32:49.400 So I could see that someone's thinking of solutions.
01:32:52.120 All of their thinking is, Hey, you know, the demand for the dollar is strong, which gives us an opportunity to print.
01:32:59.280 But it means that our children are going to be paying back money to the children of the wealthy Chinese people who are lending us the money.
01:33:08.780 And now the federal reserve is lending it.
01:33:10.880 We're not even borrowing it from the Chinese.
01:33:12.520 Nobody will buy our our our debt anymore.
01:33:15.760 It's now 100 percent financed by the federal reserve.
01:33:20.160 I mean, did you know more since March money supply more than more than 11 trillion dollars has been added to the money supply?
01:33:29.580 That's not a trivial amount.
01:33:31.180 And now and now they're talking about, oh, let's just give fifty thousand dollars to everybody who took on student loans.
01:33:38.500 What are they talking about?
01:33:40.640 You're only benefiting the top one third of society when you do that.
01:33:44.460 So it's not a progressive action at all.
01:33:46.980 And what about these guys like the Staten Island bar owner who's worked for 40 years building up his bar, helping his community, serving his city and now being told that he's not a law and order when he just wants to feed his family?
01:34:02.260 It's it's it's sad and it's disgusting.
01:34:04.460 So let me ask you, because there's there's not been any talk on a very little talk on this, especially compared to last time.
01:34:12.340 Bitcoin is almost I mean, it has broken its all time high, I believe, or it was within a couple of hundred dollars of breaking the all time high.
01:34:21.020 But that only lasted a few days.
01:34:23.260 Bitcoin is now up around 18 to twenty thousand dollars and has been for a few a few weeks, maybe a couple of weeks now.
01:34:31.200 And there's no hype on it is what's happening with that.
01:34:36.340 Is that a reaction to people with money saying I'm getting out of the dollar and I'm putting it into something that might be stable?
01:34:46.460 Yeah, I think it's several things.
01:34:47.760 I think one is even since since March, everybody breathed a huge sigh of relief that Bitcoin existed, because what other currency would you trust?
01:34:59.820 The dollar is the most trusted currency in the world.
01:35:02.480 And like I just said, they're printing, you know, maybe another 10 trillion dollars for all we know, like the Bitcoin, the supply cannot change.
01:35:10.860 You can't print Bitcoin.
01:35:12.180 The supply is permanently fixed at 21 million Bitcoin.
01:35:15.480 So and it's not reliant on the financial system.
01:35:19.900 Every dollar transaction goes through banks and central banks and federal reserve banks.
01:35:26.040 It's all tied to a system that could collapse.
01:35:29.140 Bitcoin is outside the system, which is why companies like MicroStrategy is putting all of its cash reserves into Bitcoin.
01:35:36.580 That didn't happen in 2018.
01:35:38.140 The last time Bitcoin reached a high.
01:35:39.780 The last time Bitcoin reached a high, it was speculators, people wanting to day trade Bitcoin.
01:35:45.480 Now it's people who are parking hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in Bitcoin for safety because they don't trust the dollar and you can't find any more Bitcoin.
01:35:58.600 So if supply is fixed, but demand is going up, then what does that mean?
01:36:02.380 Price goes up.
01:36:03.820 There's one hundred fifty trillion dollars of fiat currency around the world, but only three hundred billion dollars worth of Bitcoin.
01:36:10.180 So if you think there's a reasonable chance that some percentage of currency will switch over to Bitcoin, which seems kind of obvious now, then Bitcoin is a very safe place to put money, not go crazy with it, but put some money there for safety.
01:36:26.600 So, James, what does it look like?
01:36:30.840 Because I think it was Goldman Sachs, it may have been Citibank, that came out and said they're expecting a 30 percent drop in the value of the U.S. dollar in the next year to 18 months.
01:36:44.180 If they're printing eleven trillion dollars, it's going to be more than that.
01:36:48.180 But what does that mean?
01:36:51.500 Can you help explain to the average person what that means to them?
01:36:56.060 I don't mean people with lots of money.
01:36:58.780 I mean, people who are living on the edge, the average person.
01:37:02.280 I mean, look at what look at what happened in January and February of this year before the lockdowns, China lockdown.
01:37:10.880 And guess what happened?
01:37:11.660 We suddenly realized that all manufacturing, 100 percent of manufacturing happened within 200 miles of the Wuhan province.
01:37:21.980 Surprise.
01:37:22.980 We didn't know that.
01:37:23.980 Like people were saying, well, didn't we do something in India or Vietnam?
01:37:27.400 No, it was everything from the drugs that you take to the dresses and clothes you wear to your iPhone to all electronics.
01:37:37.100 It was all coming from China and all the factories shut down.
01:37:40.980 So suddenly we couldn't even get toilet paper.
01:37:44.000 We couldn't get anything.
01:37:45.340 And so what's going to happen is when all your goods are made overseas, but we're paying in dollars where the value of the dollar is going down, everything's going to get more expensive.
01:37:55.620 So a thousand dollar iPhone might be two thousand dollars.
01:37:59.520 A drug that costs one hundred dollars might cost three hundred dollars.
01:38:03.800 All of these prices start to go up.
01:38:05.660 But there's a little bit of a battle happening short term, which is that right now the Federal Reserve wants inflation.
01:38:14.740 They're fighting deflation because everyone's been sitting at home, not buying anything, not traveling, not doing anything.
01:38:21.680 Businesses are going out of business.
01:38:23.060 There's a danger also the dollar could go the dollar could deflate in the short term, but then inflate in the long term.
01:38:31.920 So basically everybody goes broke and then everything gets more expensive.
01:38:35.820 So that's the scary part.
01:38:37.980 And so the Federal Reserve actually wants to print more money because they want to inflate as fast as possible.
01:38:44.040 The benefit to them of inflating is that they borrow now.
01:38:48.300 They weaken the dollar.
01:38:49.960 So we're paying money back in weaker dollars.
01:38:53.560 It's easier to pay back the debt.
01:38:55.700 That's no good, though, for people at home.
01:38:57.500 You can't get dividends.
01:38:58.680 All your products are going to be more expensive.
01:39:00.460 So the people at home are in trouble.
01:39:02.620 The government gets away with it.
01:39:04.260 And a new generation has to pay back the children of all the people in the rest of the world.
01:39:09.420 James Altucher, if you could hold on just a second, I want to talk to you about entrepreneurship in America because it's being stomped to death right now.
01:39:17.020 And what entrepreneurs should be looking at and forward to James Altucher.
01:39:23.520 He's he's got the James Altucher show, which has Tony Robbins and Peter Thiel and Coolio.
01:39:31.500 Yeah, I know.
01:39:32.520 Not me.
01:39:33.300 I mean, a lot of people know me as Coolio, but no, not me.
01:39:37.100 It is on a podcast wherever you get your podcast.

01:40:56.040 Ten seconds station.
01:40:56.880 I.D.
01:40:57.200 So, you know, we have five percent of New York office space being used right now.
01:41:16.340 Is that a true number?
01:41:17.300 Five percent?
01:41:18.040 Yeah, and it's going to be less next week as more lockdowns go in place.
01:41:23.880 But, I mean, that's just it is that right now everybody's going remote bandwidth.
01:41:29.720 People say, oh, you know, just like the financial crisis, New York will bounce back.
01:41:34.320 No, it's different because in 2008, 2009, bandwidth was one tenth the speed of bandwidth now.
01:41:41.960 Now you can actually work remote and be more productive.
01:41:44.980 And that's what companies are realizing.
01:41:46.320 And they could be they could save on cost.
01:41:49.040 They just stop leasing office space.
01:41:50.840 So I tell you, James, I've talked about this.
01:41:52.960 Stu is pointing this out this morning.
01:41:54.240 I talked about this because of a digital revolution that was coming.
01:41:58.640 I've been talking about it for five or six years and describing what was what it would look like if the transition was sudden and describing New York City.
01:42:08.880 We knew it was going to happen.
01:42:10.940 What it's also taken out, though, is the entrepreneurial spirit in some ways.
01:42:18.460 It's just being crushed.
01:42:20.540 How do you talk?
01:42:21.600 What do you say that entrepreneurs should be looking at in the future?
01:42:24.820 Where does it go from here?
01:42:26.240 Well, you know, it's an important question because there's one hundred twenty eight million workers in the U.S., but fifty five million of them filed for unemployment insurance at some point in the past eight months.
01:42:39.320 That's a sad statistic.
01:42:40.800 It shows there's no loyalty in corporations.
01:42:43.780 So entrepreneurship has to be on the mind of many people, particularly young people.
01:42:48.140 So start looking towards who benefits from everybody working remote or everybody moving from the first tier cities to the second tier cities.
01:42:58.840 So obviously, online learning is going to benefit social media management for companies, helping companies pivot from offline to online, working on online newsletters, online courses.
01:43:13.380 You know, anything relating to remote, relating to media being created remotely, all of these things are going to are going to boom.
01:43:23.780 You know, app development, again, so, you know, helping companies with their social media management.
01:43:31.280 This is a great time for young people who have been using social media since birth to now step up their skills, start off the way I did, creating an online agency and building a business to the many people of the older generation who need the help moving remote.
01:43:47.140 This is a perfect time to be young and be an entrepreneur.
01:43:50.360 James, it is always good to talk to you.
01:43:51.980 Thank you so much for dropping by today.
01:43:54.100 James Altruer.
01:43:54.740 Thank you, Glenn.
01:43:55.600 You bet.
01:43:57.020 Entrepreneur and podcast host and writer of several really great books.
01:44:21.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:44:23.960 Yeah, well, when they're handing out Father of the Year awards this holiday season, it's probably going to be because I teach my boy the manly art of grilling.
01:44:33.560 You know what I mean?
01:44:34.620 I get out there with the meat and the spatula and the boy and I use the spatula to point at the grill as I teach him.
01:44:40.000 I'm like, you see, son, this grill part here with all the little metal thingy lines on it.
01:44:46.240 That's where you put the food.
01:44:47.720 Then you turn it on.
01:44:49.020 Then you go inside and you just check the app once in a while on your phone because it'll tell you when the food is done.
01:44:56.280 Yep.
01:44:57.320 That's what it takes to be a man nowadays, boy.
01:45:00.920 Father of the Year is coming because of Rectech.
01:45:03.900 You can take Rectech and you're really not doing any of the work.
01:45:10.300 This year, enjoy the art of grilling year-round with a Rectech.
01:45:14.260 It's sturdy.
01:45:14.900 It's sleek.
01:45:15.400 It's smart grill technology.
01:45:16.960 And no weather is going to keep you from grilling.
01:45:20.860 Follow Rectech on social media.
01:45:22.700 Sign up for their newsletter.
01:45:23.660 I want you to A-B compare these things.
01:45:26.480 This is the best one out there, bar none.
01:45:30.340 Rectech.
01:45:30.800 R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com.
01:45:33.080 Check them out.
01:45:34.160 Rectech dot com.
01:45:37.660 We have all your Nancy Pelosi Christmas items available.
01:45:40.360 The one where she's getting her hair done.
01:45:42.220 You've got the Nancy Pelosi sucks t-shirts all at shop.blazemedia.com.
01:45:46.960 So, I don't know if you've been following Mac's public house in Grant City, Staten Island.
01:46:00.260 But two guys own this bar and they have been shut down.
01:46:04.720 They've tried to do everything they can.
01:46:06.640 They're going to lose their bar if they have to shut down again.
01:46:09.940 So, they decided that they weren't going to shut down.
01:46:13.300 We're not closing it.
01:46:14.260 Well, then the liquor license was revoked.
01:46:17.680 So, they said, you know what?
01:46:19.660 We're declaring ourselves an autonomous free zone.
01:46:22.960 It worked in Seattle.
01:46:24.400 Why not here?
01:46:25.160 And we're not going to charge for alcohol or food.
01:46:28.260 Well, it was against the law to serve alcohol if you don't have a license, blah, blah, blah.
01:46:33.600 So, I think it was last night or the night before last, the cops were waiting for the owners.
01:46:43.420 And Danny Presti walks out.
01:46:45.280 He's one of the owners.
01:46:46.100 He walks out.
01:46:47.360 Cops are there.
01:46:49.280 He runs from the cops, gets into his car.
01:46:51.800 One of the cops, you know, like Beretta, jumps on the hood of his car and goes for a couple of blocks before they stop him.
01:46:59.580 And they do arrest him.
01:47:00.620 He's out on bail or he's out of jail without bail.
01:47:03.740 And he's with his attorney here.
01:47:05.900 And we're going to talk to him in just a second.
01:47:07.420 First, I want to play what de Blasio said about Danny.
01:47:11.040 Here it is.
01:47:11.580 But let's be clear, the most important thing is what this guy did.
01:47:16.420 And it was absolutely unacceptable.
01:47:18.380 I'm sure this is a guy who would say he's all in favor of law and order.
01:47:22.940 And, you know, he's making a big deal about what's happened with his bar.
01:47:27.560 Well, guess what?
01:47:28.360 Law and order means when the state of New York says your bar needs to be closed, your bar needs to be closed to protect people's health and safety.
01:47:35.580 No excuses.
01:47:36.720 And when you violate the law, there will be consequences.
01:47:39.020 And then if you take an action against a law enforcement officer, there will be even more consequences.
01:47:43.680 So this guy is a hypocrite and he's about to pay the price for his hypocrisy.
01:47:48.400 Boy, talk about a hypocrite.
01:47:50.200 Bill de Blasio now standing up for the cops and against an autonomous free zone, which is weird.
01:47:56.320 And let's take him at his word.
01:47:58.240 Let's remember what this is all about.
01:48:00.660 Somebody's business, which involves a hamburger and beer.
01:48:04.640 Let's go now to Danny Priesty or is it Presti, the co-owner of Max Public House and Louie Jellar Meno.
01:48:15.740 Hello, Louie.
01:48:16.640 How are you?
01:48:18.040 I'm good.
01:48:18.880 Thanks for having us, Glenn.
01:48:20.040 Always love your show.
01:48:21.300 Thank you.
01:48:21.680 The first thing I want to address is they were not cops.
01:48:26.240 They were not NYPD police officers.
01:48:28.800 They were sheriff deputies.
01:48:30.680 And it's in New York City, as it's probably different than down where you guys are throughout
01:48:36.200 the country.
01:48:36.960 In New York City, sheriff's deputies play a different role than NYPD.
01:48:42.040 They're civil enforcement officers.
01:48:44.540 My partner and I have been criminal defense attorneys for over 40 years.
01:48:48.420 We have never dealt with the sheriff's department in a criminal manner.
01:48:54.380 So we want to make perfectly clear the NYPD, Northern New York State Troopers, wanted anything
01:49:00.040 to do with this.
01:49:01.380 That's why they sent de Blasio's personal political hit force to handle this.
01:49:07.340 Well, I tell you, in Texas, sheriffs are the good guys, not the bad guys.
01:49:11.500 So tell me what is happening, because I think there's a lot of people that feel, Danny, exactly
01:49:21.700 like you did, where you guys are trying to keep your business open, and you keep being
01:49:27.720 told no, no, no, and you don't have a choice other than to go to the poorhouse.
01:49:32.680 Am I right?
01:49:33.260 Yeah, that's why this whole thing started in the beginning, was because we were left
01:49:41.160 without any options.
01:49:42.540 And it was to bring attention to what's going on to the businesses and how dire it is.
01:49:47.920 And in the beginning, we just tried to bring attention to say, hey, let's try to bring
01:49:53.520 as much noise as we can to try to get the mayor and the governor, and not just here, but across
01:50:00.220 the country, to understand that small businesses need assistance.
01:50:04.540 All these big, big chain places are still thriving, and you're killing the small mom and pop places.
01:50:11.940 And we either need assistance if we have to shut down, or you have to help us open in a safe manner.
01:50:17.900 But just the shutdowns and ignoring us and pushing us to the side and killing our livelihoods
01:50:22.960 just wasn't acceptable to us.
01:50:24.460 This is what's happening in California as well.
01:50:27.440 And people are starting to go rogue, because they've got nothing left.
01:50:32.160 You have nothing left, and nobody is offering any help.
01:50:35.920 Did you expect this to get to this point?
01:50:39.180 Did you expect to be seeing the inside of a jail?
01:50:43.460 And I didn't know what to expect when we did it.
01:50:46.560 Again, we just knew that something had to happen.
01:50:49.100 So when Keith and I sat down, we decided to do something about it.
01:50:53.940 Did I think that getting arrested two times in one week was going to happen at some point?
01:51:00.840 No.
01:51:02.120 So, Lou, what's the plan from here?
01:51:07.080 How are you going to fight this, and what do you think it means?
01:51:10.660 Well, obviously, on a legal level, we have two issues.
01:51:15.760 We have the criminal case where we're representing Danny, but we also have the civil cases where the
01:51:21.860 sheriffs gave over $50,000 in fines to Mack's public house.
01:51:26.300 I can assure you we'll take care of Danny's criminal cases.
01:51:30.000 But as far as the civil cases go, that we're going to have to battle those.
01:51:33.520 This is certainly something that was unexpected.
01:51:38.020 But I want to assure your viewers, what happened in California was interesting.
01:51:42.900 They had a judge rule that they have to show their signs before they shut businesses down now.
01:51:48.500 We started with lawsuits, Glenn.
01:51:51.540 We brought, my partners and I brought four different lawsuits to open the restaurants.
01:51:56.160 And we've been shut down by judges in New York City on each time because, obviously, they're
01:52:03.180 appointed by de Blasio and Cuomo.
01:52:06.240 We would love to have a ruling like that happened in California.
01:52:11.140 Unfortunately, it seems like going the legal route hasn't been working either.
01:52:16.920 We will continue to do that in the appeal process.
01:52:20.800 But sadly, the small business owners on Staten Island through the rest of the country can't
01:52:25.760 open and still can't open and they still can't put food on their table.
01:52:29.580 So it's a sad situation.
01:52:31.440 And I applaud Danny and his partner, Keith, for leading the charge and staying open.
01:52:38.020 Unfortunately, it's ended up in this ridiculous, these ridiculous criminal charges.
01:52:43.400 So I know you guys are doing a GoFundMe.
01:52:45.640 It's Max Fight, Max Fights for Small Businesses.
01:52:50.860 You are trying to raise $500,000.
01:52:53.720 You're currently at about $100,000.
01:52:57.200 And you say that anything that you're not using, you're going to apply that to fight for
01:53:03.580 other small businesses.
01:53:05.100 Is there some sort of an association or is there any group of small businesses that are
01:53:11.460 starting to band together and say, we've got to fight this as one because we're all too
01:53:16.820 small?
01:53:17.200 Well, we started the small business on Staten Island started a business association a while
01:53:26.040 ago.
01:53:27.000 Those that's who we brought the lawsuits on behalf of.
01:53:30.720 We will continue to bring those lawsuits on their behalf.
01:53:33.620 And I believe there are a lot of people throughout the country starting to form these coalitions
01:53:40.760 so they can have a strong voice into these ridiculous orders by the governors and mayors
01:53:48.840 of these liberal cities.
01:53:50.340 You know, Glenn, it's sad.
01:53:53.220 The virus doesn't know the difference between a red state and a blue state.
01:53:58.000 But it seems that the blue states can't stay open.
01:54:02.300 Their small businesses are shut down.
01:54:04.280 Yet the red states are able to stay open and keep their businesses open.
01:54:10.240 It's absolutely ridiculous.
01:54:12.460 And it's sad that even the COVID virus has become a political animal.
01:54:18.660 So I have to ask you this because I am I'm strong with law enforcement that stands with
01:54:24.160 the Constitution and usually that is the sheriffs, et cetera, et cetera.
01:54:29.380 And I I preach against, you know, the people like, you know, all the people that de Blasio
01:54:36.020 has supported and all people like him that go out in the streets and they commit all kinds
01:54:40.720 of crimes.
01:54:41.620 The Black Lives Matter has been responsible now for six thousand injuries with police.
01:54:47.180 So I have to I just have to ask about the sheriff that was on the roof or on the hood of your
01:54:53.680 car.
01:54:54.880 He did break his collarbone or he broke one bone.
01:54:58.700 Not true.
01:55:00.760 Not absolutely not true.
01:55:03.140 We have 100 percent confirmation that was the sheriff's department trying to change the
01:55:07.940 narrative so the support would leave daddy.
01:55:10.760 Where I have 100 percent confirmation that that same sheriff's deputy that they claim
01:55:17.080 was injured was in the sheriff's office for over four hours process processing the arrest.
01:55:23.320 He did not go to the hospital till after five hours after the incident claiming claiming some
01:55:29.040 injuries.
01:55:29.680 He did not break his legs.
01:55:31.640 He did not break his collarbone.
01:55:33.480 He broke absolutely nothing.
01:55:35.860 We have 100 percent confirmation on that.
01:55:39.340 All right.
01:55:40.040 Thank you, guys.
01:55:40.840 Best of best of luck to you.
01:55:42.320 Yeah, go ahead.
01:55:43.620 If I may say something and I speak on behalf of Danny on this and all the people involved
01:55:48.840 with Max's Public House and my partners, we completely stand with law enforcement, the
01:55:54.000 NYPD, the state troopers.
01:55:55.840 I have many friends and family.
01:55:57.400 My two best friends that I'm around every single day are NYPD detectives.
01:56:01.660 We love those guys.
01:56:03.120 They've been nothing great and supportive from the beginning.
01:56:05.760 The sheriff's deputies play a lot different role in New York City than they do.
01:56:10.040 They do in Texas and the rest of the country.
01:56:13.680 And even through all this, we still wouldn't want to be disrespectful for them, even though
01:56:20.460 they've acted like thugs for the mayor de Blasio.
01:56:25.060 We still haven't been disrespectful to them.
01:56:27.360 We've been cooperative and respectful the whole entire time.
01:56:31.860 Danny had no idea.
01:56:33.540 If you look at the video, Danny had no idea.
01:56:35.840 They were sheriff's deputies.
01:56:37.040 They were dressed in complete black outfits.
01:56:40.380 They came up from behind them and yelled, Presti, and started chasing them from 50 yards
01:56:45.920 away.
01:56:46.880 And any reasonable person would act in the way that Danny reacted.
01:56:51.760 Thank you so much.
01:56:53.220 We'll keep track of your fight and your plight.
01:56:57.680 We wish you the best.
01:56:59.220 If you would like to donate and help out, this is becoming more and more of a problem.
01:57:06.860 And we as small businesses, and I say that as an owner of a small business, a couple of
01:57:11.880 small businesses, we have to stand together and help each other out.
01:57:17.560 You can go to GoFundMe.
01:57:19.180 It's Max Fights for Small Businesses.
01:57:23.560 You'll find that at GoFundMe.
01:57:25.280 Thank you very much, guys.
01:57:35.000 There's new research from the threat intelligence firms that show that cyber criminal groups
01:57:39.600 are increasingly using ransomware, changing their techniques and their procedures to widen
01:57:45.160 the scope of their cyber attacks, and of course, expanding the pool of people that fall victim
01:57:49.880 to this kind of thing all the time.
01:57:51.140 Cyber criminals, they unfortunately don't take, I don't think they take much time off.
01:57:59.020 They are working hard to make sure that they stay on top of their game, and their game is
01:58:04.600 you.

01:58:49.340 Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.
01:58:52.200 You've heard of the Green New Deal, but there's a digital New Deal being made to decide what
01:58:57.200 you think, say, and share with your friends.
01:59:00.600 Those of us in journalism have to come to terms with the fact that free speech, a principle
01:59:04.860 that we hold sacred, is being weaponized against the principles of journalism.
01:59:09.060 Glenn reveals the terrifying new levels of censorship happening right now.
01:59:12.600 Watch how digital dictators plan to kill free speech.
01:59:16.220 Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern, blazedv.com slash Glenn.
01:59:21.460 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:59:29.460 California has just stopped all childcare, all tutoring, and all classes.
01:59:41.300 Uh, wow.
01:59:44.600 That doesn't hurt the people at all, does it?
01:59:47.720 No, I mean, not at all.
01:59:49.560 There's not extensive research showing that when you take away, for example, kids' educations,
01:59:54.640 that it really hurts.
01:59:55.960 There's a famous chapter in, I believe it's Tipping Points, Malcolm Gladwell, where he talks
02:00:01.240 about how the main difference between rich kids and poor kids, and when it comes to education
02:00:07.020 over long periods of time, is that, generally speaking, rich kids' parents during the summer
02:00:14.280 engage with them often and challenge them to do not just, you know, sitting around watching
02:00:20.140 TV, right?
02:00:21.020 Where poor kids' children are more likely, and again, this is generalities, but more likely
02:00:26.460 to think that it's the school's job for them to learn when they're home, they can do what
02:00:31.780 they want to do, right?
02:00:32.580 Like, and not engage them mentally over summer break.
02:00:36.280 So, during the school year, the kids perform pretty much identically, but during the summer
02:00:41.180 break, the rich kids get a little bit ahead, and the poor kids get a little bit behind,
02:00:46.860 and that happens every year throughout their entire schooling.
02:00:49.960 And that's the tipping point.
02:00:50.380 And that's the difference between the two groups.
02:00:53.180 That is, you start doing this, this is much more extreme.
02:00:56.480 And when you go to just Zoom learning, and I mean, these kids are falling way behind.
02:01:01.220 Just think of this, what happens to those kids that are in child care, both parents work,
02:01:06.000 they can't take care of their kids, there's no child care now?
02:01:09.920 What happens to those families?
02:01:12.400 What happens to their monthly rent?
02:01:15.660 How is somebody going to stay at home?
02:01:18.640 And this is one of those issues, too, that where the science was relatively clear at the
02:01:22.900 beginning, including from the scientists, by the way, that said you should keep school
02:01:26.440 is open, that I can, but you know, when a new pandemic is coming down, you didn't know
02:01:31.380 anything about it.
02:01:31.840 You can kind of understand, be like, we can't risk the kids at the very beginning.
02:01:35.380 Yeah.
02:01:35.640 Over time, it became clear.
02:01:37.980 A thousand times less likely.
02:01:40.780 Yeah, I mean, it's not even close.
02:01:42.080 I mean, the kids are really not in danger from this.
02:01:44.180 So, it became clear that that was not a good thing to do.
02:01:47.380 The science change, most places have recognized that.
02:01:51.100 Places with very powerful teachers unions continue to fight it, though.
02:01:54.220 And they said, well, we don't want our teachers in there.
02:01:56.780 And they brought up all these other arguments.
02:01:58.780 So, places like New York City set ridiculous standards for keeping schools open.
02:02:03.300 Even that has started to turn over, where de Blasio recently had to change those standards
02:02:08.220 to reopen the schools, particularly for young kids, because of what a terrible decision it
02:02:13.300 was initially to pull them out anyway.
02:02:15.440 It's killing our kids.
02:02:16.560 It's killing our kids.
02:02:17.620 So, take that and separate kids from real education.
02:02:22.560 Friends.
02:02:23.360 From friends.
02:02:24.860 And then you're putting them on maybe Zoom learning for part-time while their parents
02:02:28.740 are trying to get...
02:02:29.400 I mean, it's impossible.
02:02:31.040 It's a really problematic situation.
02:02:32.760 You're leaving them at home alone, some of these kids.
02:02:35.520 This is going to be an absolute disaster.
02:02:39.020 The cure is worse than the disease, by far.
02:02:43.120 More on this coming up on tomorrow's broadcast.
