The Glenn Beck Program - Banks and Cancel Culture ｜ Guests： Bjorn Lomborg & Jason Whitlock ｜ 2⧸24⧸21

00:00:00.000 I want to tell you about real estate agents I trust.

00:00:02.060 If you're entering the real estate market right now, it's either as either a buyer or seller.

00:00:06.320 It could be really, really good or really, really bad for you.

00:00:09.720 Don't roll the dice.

00:00:10.920 Make sure you have somebody really good, somebody with experience, somebody who has a track record of being one of the best sellers of real estate in your area.

00:00:21.780 Somebody who knows how to promote the their website.

00:00:25.580 So people come and see it.

00:00:27.640 They have buyers already standing by.

00:00:29.620 There are several things that you probably don't even think about when you're when you're asking for a real estate agent to come on over.

00:00:38.080 Yeah, if you have a good agent, too, it's something that you can take advantage of in the times when you're not buying and selling to when you have like a repair you need.

00:00:45.220 They have all the contacts.

00:00:46.260 Yeah, so it definitely helps.

00:00:47.840 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:00:49.840 We've done all the vetting for you.

00:00:51.740 The first line you have to vet them yourselves.

00:00:55.320 But these are the people we believe in.

00:00:57.000 They're all over the country.

00:00:57.960 We will find the one near you in your area that is, in our opinion, the best.

00:01:02.280 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:01:04.460 It's a free service to you.

00:01:05.460 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:35.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:41.540 A report from John Solomon today.

00:01:45.320 A new frontier in cancel culture is looming on the horizon.

00:01:50.620 Banking and financial service firms can ban conservative customers and others from industries targeted by the left.

00:01:59.760 The targets appear to include Republican members of Congress who voted to challenge the 2020 election results.

00:02:07.620 Additional possible targeted industries range from fossil fuels, firearms, to for-profit colleges and payday lenders.

00:02:18.080 It is getting very serious in America.

00:02:24.580 We're going to give you some things that I want you to do today and show you how to deal with things.

00:02:33.900 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:02:36.400 Every time that you get online with your computer or your phone or other device, there should be a little video that pops up.

00:02:49.360 You know, Clint Eastwood pointing a gun at you.

00:02:51.220 Do you feel lucky, punk?

00:02:52.300 Because you are rolling the dice with all of your information if you're not safeguarded against cybercriminals and all the stuff they can do to steal your information and your identity.

00:03:03.020 You have to have more than just luck.

00:03:05.700 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

00:03:09.980 Every day we put our information at risk on the Internet.

00:03:13.160 And cybercriminals just keep finding new ways to steal identities.

00:03:16.360 You need somebody who is a watchdog that will at least bark when something seems wrong or they hear a knock on the door or a twig break outside the window.

00:03:27.740 That's what LifeLock does. 0.96

00:03:29.780 Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but you can keep what's yours with LifeLock identity theft protection.

00:03:49.560 Tonight I have a Wednesday night special we'll tell you about here in just a second.

00:04:09.380 And next week we are going into the financial sector, something we've been working on for weeks, something I've been warning you about for the last couple of years at least.

00:04:18.400 There are big, big, big changes that are being made right now at the national bank level.

00:04:27.560 All of the big banks are changing things, and they are clearing a runway to be able to cancel anyone that needs to be canceled.

00:04:41.300 Yesterday, Representative Ted Budd, he's a member of the House Financial Services Committee, warned that the cancel culture is coming now through the banking and financial services firms.

00:04:56.560 We told you this, this is part of the Great Reset, but it is now coming.

00:05:03.640 A net is being laid, and you need to understand this.

00:05:09.020 Right now, they are targeting, it seems, the members of Congress who voted to challenge the 2020 election results, just as Democrats did in 2001, 2005, and 2017.

00:05:24.720 But apparently, you can't do that anymore.

00:05:28.880 So now the banks are saying that we have the right to cancel doing any kind of services for these people.

00:05:41.660 So I want you to understand what banking services mean.

00:05:45.080 It's not just that you can keep your cash under your mattress.

00:05:49.240 It means that you can't go and have a savings account, a checking account.

00:05:57.020 You can't start a business online and have anybody do PayPal.

00:06:03.280 You can't have a credit card account.

00:06:08.420 If you have a business and you take credit cards, they'll no longer service your business.

00:06:14.240 You are cut off.

00:06:15.720 PayPal is now starting to look into these things as well.

00:06:21.040 PayPal is now thinking about cutting people off that are being canceled.

00:06:27.260 A firm, a company that extends installment loans for customers to use at the point of sale, you get three easy payments.

00:06:41.260 They have just dropped MyPillow.

00:06:45.720 So if you were going to buy something from MyPillow and you wanted to spread it out, now this financial service firm is saying, we're not going to do business with MyPillow and Mike Lindell.

00:06:57.940 So when we ask you to become a member of the blaze, we use financial services.

00:07:08.040 We don't have your credit card number.

00:07:10.340 We don't keep your credit card number.

00:07:12.360 We don't want your credit card number.

00:07:14.420 That goes through a firm, a banking services firm, and they charge your card.

00:07:24.880 We don't have anything to do with that.

00:07:27.400 They charge your card and keep everything secure.

00:07:30.680 And we're not unique in that way.

00:07:31.900 No, no, no.

00:07:32.300 Everybody operates.

00:07:33.380 Everything you buy online is like that.

00:07:35.040 Everybody does that.

00:07:35.960 Maybe Amazon is big enough to have their own stuff, and Apple, but we're not.

00:07:42.000 Everyone uses third party.

00:07:43.220 Correct.

00:07:43.740 Every restaurant, everybody uses that stuff.

00:07:46.020 That's good.

00:07:47.100 It's good to have a separation.

00:07:48.580 Right.

00:07:48.820 It's good.

00:07:49.400 You don't want people having that.

00:07:50.920 But once the financial services say, we're not taking credit cards, we're out of business.

00:08:01.300 This is extra constitutional.

00:08:05.480 This is not coming through the government.

00:08:08.560 This is coming from private businesses who have a right to do whatever it is they choose to do.

00:08:16.100 You are going to be isolated.

00:08:18.520 I just told Stu, if you have any money, you should have a trust fund with the ability to, what did I say, migrate clauses?

00:08:35.220 A migration clause in it.

00:08:38.320 And you should do it right now.

00:08:40.660 That means that if you don't have services with the bank, your trust fund could still have services with the bank.

00:08:51.380 You're not tied to that.

00:08:53.920 And the migration clauses mean you can move it out of the country if, you know, it's 1939.

00:09:01.440 If you have a trust fund, do you have to wear a pastel sweater around your neck?

00:09:06.120 Yeah, you do.

00:09:06.840 You have to.

00:09:07.300 Your children are forced to go to Ivy League schools.

00:09:10.160 Really?

00:09:10.440 So, yeah.

00:09:10.900 Okay.

00:09:11.460 And they're all really good at tennis or lacrosse.

00:09:14.520 Strangely.

00:09:14.880 Weird.

00:09:15.080 Isn't that weird?

00:09:15.860 Yeah.

00:09:17.400 And I don't even know if that will work.

00:09:19.380 But I'm telling you now, these times are coming.

00:09:22.800 We are doing everything that we can to make sure that our voice is not silenced.

00:09:32.340 But the things that we're now having to do are extraordinarily expensive.

00:09:40.300 And we are asking for your support.

00:09:45.320 This is the last week of the 30% off for Blaze TV.

00:10:03.520 We must stay in contact.

00:10:08.800 The one thing that we do keep is your internet address.

00:10:13.820 Not your ISP, but your email address.

00:10:20.480 We do have access to that.

00:10:22.440 So, if everything is pulled from us and we can still have email access, we can still be in touch.

00:10:29.880 And we will.

00:10:30.560 And I will tell you now, even if it is under a tree in some field somewhere, I will be speaking.

00:10:41.280 I don't care what they take.

00:10:44.060 They will not take my belief in the goodness of the American people, in the decency of the American people, and in the decency of America when it is allowed to be run by the American people.

00:11:03.080 Well, the problem is now, we are moving to an oligarchy.

00:11:08.500 We are moving to a place to where these giant corporations can do whatever they want.

00:11:16.020 It's called a choke point.

00:11:19.540 It's actually a Barack Obama idea.

00:11:22.200 And it was, choke them off at the banks.

00:11:27.460 Choke everybody off.

00:11:29.700 And we're going to expose that next week on Wednesday night's program.

00:11:35.680 Please understand what is happening.

00:11:38.360 Now, for those who say the cancel culture is not happening, and I wondered whether or not I should even share this with you.

00:11:48.940 Um, because I, you'll understand at the end of this, I just want you to listen to this, uh, letter that I received last night.

00:11:59.660 Uh, and then I want you to listen to my response before you feel anything.

00:12:05.740 Uh, as I've said before on the air, just a little bit, uh, that I had my first art show.

00:12:12.060 Uh, it was going to happen, um, this summer and I've been preparing for it.

00:12:18.040 I've been painting like a madman.

00:12:21.100 Uh, you know, I just finished life-size portraits of the Lone Ranger and Tonto.

00:12:27.120 I'm going to do an art show called, uh, American myths, legends, and lies.

00:12:35.780 And, uh, so I'm painting for all of these things.

00:12:39.820 And, uh, I found an art gallery last fall.

00:12:44.560 And it's not easy for Glenn Beck to find an art gallery.

00:12:48.100 And this art gallery said, no, I'm very liberal.

00:12:52.800 And, uh, you know, this has got to be a vanity project.

00:12:55.660 I can't believe he's any good at it.

00:12:57.520 Uh, and the person that was new, this other person said, uh, no, listen, let me send you some of his art.

00:13:05.080 You will be blown away.

00:13:08.240 So they sent.

00:13:09.640 And the person called me up and said, uh, well, I'm in a, I'm in a tough space.

00:13:16.600 Because I saw your art and you're good.

00:13:19.100 And I would carry you if it wasn't you.

00:13:22.460 And I don't want to be that person.

00:13:24.700 So I'm going to carry you.

00:13:27.660 And so we planned on an art show this, uh, this summer.

00:13:31.880 And then I got a note last night that said, I wrote you on January 11th.

00:13:36.560 And I haven't heard back, which I expected, but I wanted to make sure you got this email.

00:13:42.840 Well, I, you know, it was lost in a deluge of emails.

00:13:46.340 And so I hadn't seen it until last night.

00:13:48.720 There's a few things going on.

00:13:50.100 Yeah.

00:13:50.640 Following.

00:13:51.480 So this is, this is what was, uh, written Glenn.

00:13:55.420 I hope this note finds you happy and healthy upon consideration.

00:13:58.980 I've decided that I would like you to remove my gallery from consideration for the tentatively

00:14:05.460 scheduled summer art show.

00:14:07.380 I thought it was already scheduled.

00:14:08.280 Well, no, it wasn't scheduled on the date, but we had an agreement on everything.

00:14:12.140 Yeah.

00:14:12.800 Recent national news events have caused me to reflect on our affiliation as well as

00:14:19.920 my conscience.

00:14:22.720 This gallery is no longer the right venue for your event.

00:14:25.380 I owe you an apology because I said, I wouldn't back out on you.

00:14:30.000 I told her, I said, you're, you know, this is going to, this is going to happen.

00:14:35.680 You're going to freak out by all the pressures, et cetera, et cetera.

00:14:38.880 But my commitment was made without knowledge of the painful events that lie ahead.

00:14:46.260 But nonetheless, I'm sorry, sorry to change course on you.

00:14:49.440 What painful events lie ahead?

00:14:51.720 Now, this person was freaked out by January 6th, as the follow-up letter said, you know, the

00:15:03.640 events of January 6th made me send you this letter.

00:15:09.020 Was that you?

00:15:09.600 You did the January 6th thing?

00:15:10.780 I didn't realize.

00:15:11.560 I don't remember you.

00:15:12.320 You were here, I thought.

00:15:13.540 Stop.

00:15:13.560 Glenn, you're a good artist and I wish you well.

00:15:17.100 As a courtesy, I'd recommend you consider approaching so-and-so who owns several galleries

00:15:22.060 and such and such.

00:15:23.640 He's a hardworking gallerist who's outspoken in his support of conservative values.

00:15:29.280 You can reach him through one of your, from one of his galleries.

00:15:32.660 Feel free to mention my name.

00:15:33.860 I'm happy to also set up an online introduction.

00:15:37.160 Many gallerists will be thankful for the opportunity to receive well-done art, a likelihood of good

00:15:42.140 profit and the public exposure for their business.

00:15:45.080 Best regards.

00:15:46.600 So, I wrote, I wrote this individual back.

00:15:52.320 And this is why I want you, this is why I'm reading this.

00:15:58.300 Because I want you to hear my response.

00:16:03.500 How do you think I responded?

00:16:06.380 Because I know what I felt when I wrote it.

00:16:16.520 What did I do?

00:16:18.100 And why am I sharing this with you?

00:16:21.280 60 seconds.

00:16:25.360 Okay.

00:16:26.560 Relief factor.

00:16:27.400 Drew lives in Texas.

00:16:29.280 He was in a pretty substantial accident when he was in his 40s.

00:16:33.120 Left him with horrible pain throughout his body.

00:16:35.100 And for a long time, he tried to find something that would combat the pain.

00:16:37.900 And everything he tried didn't work or didn't work for long.

00:16:40.840 Boy, have I been there.

00:16:42.320 Then he heard about relief factor.

00:16:43.700 And like most people, he was skeptical.

00:16:45.820 Seemed like a lot of mumbo jumbo to him.

00:16:47.820 See, for me, it was like, it's all natural.

00:16:50.020 Oh, that's not going to work.

00:16:51.760 Have some tree bark.

00:16:53.200 Okay.

00:16:55.500 He gave it a shot.

00:16:57.160 Within three weeks, he started seeing the results.

00:16:59.420 And by the end of the trial period, he was already nearly out of pain.

00:17:03.740 These days, he walks around pain-free all the time.

00:17:07.460 He got his life back by using relief factor.

00:17:10.000 And so did I.

00:17:11.420 You can get your life back as well.

00:17:13.540 Try it.

00:17:14.440 70% of the people who try just the trial period of three weeks, that's when you're really going

00:17:19.800 to start to see, is this going to affect me at all?

00:17:22.980 The people who try three weeks go on to order month after month after month.

00:17:28.580 70%.

00:17:29.020 Are you in that 70%?

00:17:31.820 It is worth finding out.

00:17:34.140 Relief factor.

00:17:34.940 It's not a drug developed by doctors.

00:17:36.500 And you can find it at relieffactor.com.

00:17:38.800 Relieffactor.com.

00:17:39.860 800-583-84.

00:17:41.720 800-583-84.

00:17:43.900 10 seconds.

00:17:44.620 Station ID.

00:17:45.080 So when I read this, this letter that had been sent to me, I was really upset because

00:18:09.860 I was just as horrified and maybe more so at what was happening at the Capitol January

00:18:19.240 6th.

00:18:19.960 I watched that unfold and it was a dark and frightening and embarrassing time in our country.

00:18:29.160 It is not the way we react.

00:18:31.800 And I knew what it would cause.

00:18:36.260 When I'm watching it, I knew.

00:18:39.440 I've been preaching against violence for 15 years.

00:18:44.560 Longer than that.

00:18:45.740 After September 11th.

00:18:47.500 I've been preaching about nonviolence like nobody else in any medium in America.

00:18:57.760 So for me to be canceled because of something that happened January 6th really bothered me.

00:19:10.460 But here's how I responded.

00:19:14.140 Dear so-and-so, I cannot tell you how saddened I am to hear this news.

00:19:19.820 I truly understand your concern.

00:19:21.880 But please know that I and my audience were just as horrified at the events of January 6th

00:19:27.760 as you were.

00:19:29.580 At a time when it seems good people on both sides can no longer even talk with one another.

00:19:36.660 I was hoping this show would be a bright example of people with wildly different views that

00:19:41.820 understand and strive for a world where common decency is again the coin of the realm.

00:19:48.420 I probably will not go through a gallery at all now as being represented by a conservative

00:19:55.500 gallery does not really excite or challenge me or anyone involved.

00:20:02.960 I was deeply offended years ago by Piss Christ.

00:20:06.900 That's the art project of the crucifix in a jar of urine.

00:20:11.420 But I have enough artist in me, and as a classical liberal, I think art should push people at

00:20:18.920 times.

00:20:20.260 If people complained, they were thinking.

00:20:23.240 If people bullied, they exposed themselves for who they were, and the art world could move

00:20:30.540 on.

00:20:31.600 We should always strive to make people think, explore, and see things differently.

00:20:37.120 That's what I hoped we could accomplish this summer.

00:20:39.540 That's not exactly done with a conservative at a conservative gallery.

00:20:45.980 Unfortunately, as I said last fall, I know what is said about me and the heat anyone who

00:20:51.260 is left of me will receive when they attempt to show any uniting principles.

00:20:55.700 But our country on both sides, it seems, demands political purity.

00:21:00.780 It's wrong and deadly, no matter which side is pitching.

00:21:03.940 We must again learn that just because we associate with one another, it doesn't mean we endorse

00:21:10.240 everything the other believes.

00:21:12.680 I'm ashamed of my fellow countrymen for their painting of liberals, all of them as Stalinists 0.95

00:21:18.780 and conservatives as skinheaded Nazis. 0.54

00:21:23.320 Know that both of these stereotypes do exist.

00:21:26.700 But Americans used to know that the average liberal and the average conservative is neither

00:21:33.580 of those things, and we could unite on the principles that most of us agree on, the freedoms

00:21:39.840 that are spelled out in our Bill of Rights.

00:21:42.080 I do appreciate your consideration, honestly, and sadly, however, I am not surprised.

00:21:49.680 All my best, sincerely, and I hope someday to be able to meet and spend enough time together

00:21:54.920 so you will see when it comes to principles, we have much in common and urgent reasons to

00:22:02.580 stand together.

00:22:03.340 We must be beyond anger.

00:22:12.260 Our responses will do nothing but paint us in a corner or set us free.

00:22:22.640 We must change the hearts of people and speak to good, decent people, which I think this person

00:22:30.100 is coming from their point of view, showing them that you don't know who we are.

00:22:38.720 We are indeed just like you.

00:22:43.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:47.520 There's a little resort on the island of Maui, and oh, it's gorgeous.

00:22:51.980 Palm trees swaying.

00:22:53.020 The flowers gently parachuting through the warm air and passing by your nose with a pleasant

00:23:00.300 aroma.

00:23:00.900 I mean, it is great.

00:23:02.220 You could hear the far off sound of waves crashing against the stand.

00:23:07.120 And there's a poster of that resort that's going to be hanging on the door of the resort

00:23:10.680 where you were going to be staying during your timeshare experience.

00:23:14.360 Actually, the poster is sort of is the door since there sort of isn't a real one ever

00:23:22.560 since, you know, Big Jeff crashed through it in a drunken brawl.

00:23:26.720 But hey, that poster, it is beautiful.

00:23:29.580 Really, it's beautiful.

00:23:31.800 Someday you'll be able to use that timeshare thing, especially after COVID.

00:24:03.720 Last week for the 30 bucks off offer at Blaze TV.

00:24:08.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:17.700 We're glad you're here.

00:24:19.840 Matt Taibbi is a journalist who has written for Rolling Stone.

00:24:26.420 He's kind of a Glenn Greenwald kind of guy, a guy that I don't agree with, you know, very often.

00:24:31.320 But he seems to be a classic liberal.

00:24:37.460 And in some regards, would you agree with that?

00:24:40.180 Uh, yeah, maybe.

00:24:42.720 I don't know how I would.

00:24:43.740 I mean, he's, he's, I've always thought of him on the left.

00:24:45.780 And every once in a while, he writes things that you're like, oh, yeah.

00:24:48.960 Yeah.

00:24:49.180 Like, absolutely.

00:24:50.100 Like, he's right on that.

00:24:51.520 And he's so, like Glenn Greenwald has been pretty active in smacking down the sort of cancel culture.

00:24:58.620 We're a woke wing of the Democratic movement these days.

00:25:02.040 Two and a half years ago, he writes, when Alex Jones of Infowars was kicked off a series of tech platforms and a clearly coordinated decision.

00:25:10.260 I knew this was not going to be an isolated thing, given that people like Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said on the ouster of Jones, it was just a good first step.

00:25:21.100 It seemed obvious the tactic was not going to be confined to a few actors.

00:25:25.640 But corporate media critics insisted the precedent would not be applied more broadly.

00:25:31.420 CNN's so-and-so said, I don't think that we're going to be seeing big tech take action against Fox News anytime soon.

00:25:40.260 Well, that guy was wrong.

00:25:43.920 Just a few years ago, a few years later, calls to ban Fox are not only common, they're intensifying with media voices from CNN to MSNBC and former Media Matters critic to the Washington Post columnists, yada, yada, all on board.

00:26:02.500 The movement crested this week with a letter from California House Democrats, Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney, written to the CEOs of cable providers like Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Cox and Dish.

00:26:18.160 They demanded to know if these providers are planning to continue to continue to carry Fox News, Newsmax and OAN.

00:26:26.220 I want to read point number seven from this congressional letter.

00:26:31.820 Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax and OAN on U-Verse, DirecTV and AT&T TV, both now and beyond any contract renewal date?

00:26:46.160 Have you or have you ever been a member of a company that is carrying OAN?

00:26:51.880 If so, why?

00:26:55.920 This is terrifying.

00:26:59.720 It should chill every journalist to the bone.

00:27:04.340 This sequence of events is ominous because a similar match set of hearings and interrogations back in 2017, when senators like Mazie Rono and Judiciary Committee hearing demanded that platforms like Google and Facebook come up with a mission statement to prevent the foment of discord, accelerated the content moderation movement that we now see on platforms.

00:27:29.740 Sequences like this, the government requests of speech reduction made to companies subject to federal regulation, make the content moderation decisions of private firms, a serious First Amendment issue.

00:27:44.460 These things are happening.

00:27:48.140 This is not a figment of anyone's imagination.

00:27:51.580 This is coming and we just have to be prepared.

00:27:59.680 And quite honestly, please read Martin Luther King.

00:28:05.400 Why are those troops still in Washington?

00:28:09.240 Because they want you to react violently.

00:28:14.280 They need you to react violently.

00:28:17.440 It is Tucker Carlson talked about it.

00:28:22.920 I think it was last night or the night before where he was saying, look, you couldn't write this script better.

00:28:29.700 You couldn't be more inflammatory than what Congress and the left is doing right now.

00:28:38.080 But the steps they're taking is fomenting real deep feelings in a lot in half the country.

00:28:50.340 They need you to be violent.

00:28:53.680 Because that way they can come in and they can take arms.

00:28:57.640 They can stop banking.

00:28:59.320 They can become dictators.

00:29:01.780 And it is, you know, it was one thing to say, Barack Obama was, you know, he wanted to be a dictator.

00:29:12.940 And there's another thing to say, or Donald Trump, he wanted to be a dictator.

00:29:17.680 And it's a completely other thing to say, they are taking the steps to ensure an authoritarian regime.

00:29:26.400 And that is happening now.

00:29:29.640 Steps are being taken to silence those who disagree, who are not in lockstep.

00:29:37.800 And it's not just being taken by the government.

00:29:41.640 It's being taken by large firms as well.

00:29:46.940 I'm going to give you one more piece of news quickly.

00:29:49.280 Um, Amazon has decided that it's going to quietly end sales of books that it labels hate speech.

00:30:05.020 Guys, this is book burning.

00:30:08.000 When we had physical stores, they would have to go take the books off the shelf and destroy them.

00:30:16.540 Now, you just digitally remove them.

00:30:21.500 And it's like it never happened.

00:30:23.740 If they were actually dumping these books, if they were actually destroying or burning these books, you would have the image in your mind.

00:30:36.840 Remember, we live in a time no longer of words.

00:30:42.020 We live in a time of images.

00:30:43.980 There was a guy who set himself on fire in Tunisia months before the other guy did that is credited in a way of starting the, um, the Tunisian riots, which led to the Arab Spring.

00:30:59.760 Another guy had done that.

00:31:02.040 Same exact reasons.

00:31:04.360 He was also a push cart vendor.

00:31:06.500 Why one and not the other?

00:31:09.860 Because there was no images of him setting himself on fire.

00:31:15.420 It's the image.

00:31:17.900 Images have real power.

00:31:19.800 Why is it we can, we are not all up in arms with our local school boards and our teachers and the teachers unions just based on the number of suicides that we've had from kids.

00:31:37.500 Because you don't ever see those pictures.

00:31:42.900 You don't ever hear those stories.

00:31:45.640 MSNBC right now is running almost as a backdrop.

00:31:49.980 Look at, they're doing it right now.

00:31:52.260 Of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

00:31:57.000 Okay.

00:31:57.260 They're running those pictures almost 24-7.

00:32:00.920 They're running that videotape because they know that's what their audience wants and they are trying to stir their audience into hatred.

00:32:13.700 That's what's happening.

00:32:16.720 You know what you're not seeing?

00:32:18.120 You're not seeing pictures of the kids who have died.

00:32:21.640 You know, Emmett Till, his mother was really, really smart.

00:32:26.760 Emmett Till, if you don't know who Emmett Till was, look him up today.

00:32:30.360 And you're going to see, when you look him up, you're going to see a picture of him in his coffin.

00:32:36.600 Horribly, horribly disfigured.

00:32:40.160 He was a black man who was in the South, but he was from Chicago. 0.84

00:32:44.840 He was killed, brutally killed.

00:32:49.780 When he was returned to his mother in Chicago in the coffin, she insisted on having an open coffin.

00:32:57.000 Because she said she wanted everyone to see what they had done to her boy.

00:33:02.940 And she was right.

00:33:04.960 We know Emmett Till's name because once you see that picture, you can't unsee it.

00:33:13.740 And it stirred people into action.

00:33:16.680 Where are the pictures on TV of people who have lost their jobs?

00:33:26.240 Why did We Are the World and Michael Jackson and all these people, why did that happen?

00:33:32.720 Why did that happen?

00:33:35.000 For Ethiopia, Ethiopia is probably starving still today.

00:33:39.420 I don't even know.

00:33:40.300 Why all of a sudden?

00:33:45.540 Because if you lived at that time, you'll never forget the news reports of these terribly malnourished children

00:33:54.580 with the bloated stomachs sitting just dying for just any rice.

00:34:01.720 Because you'll never forget those pictures.

00:34:06.480 You are being fed pictures of hatred.

00:34:13.600 You are not seeing the pictures of suffering.

00:34:19.300 Right now, millions of Americans are suffering.

00:34:23.800 Are they showing the pictures of those people in Texas that are suffering, that lost everything?

00:34:32.720 That didn't have any power?

00:34:35.700 How about the people who froze to death here in Texas?

00:34:38.420 You're not seeing those.

00:34:39.820 What you are seeing are pictures of Ted Cruz leaving the state to keep his family warm.

00:34:50.620 Hmm.

00:34:50.880 I'm going to give you some things that I need you to do because you are going to lose books and history.

00:35:04.560 Uh, and, and we, we really need to start working together to preserve them.

00:35:12.860 I'll give you those things to do here in just a couple of minutes.

00:35:16.340 Our sponsor of this half hour is Blinds.com.

00:35:22.500 Have you been feeling that weird urge lately?

00:35:25.500 Start changing some things up in your home?

00:35:28.200 It probably comes from being...

00:35:29.180 I have.

00:35:29.540 You know why?

00:35:31.160 Because there's a giant puddle of water filling the whole thing.

00:35:34.080 It's an indoor pool, I keep telling you.

00:35:36.500 Yeah, it's not.

00:35:37.260 Your pipes burst.

00:35:38.600 Okay, get over it.

00:35:39.860 And actually, we have now removed the water, but what we have now is this great feature

00:35:43.520 where all the floors are buckling all over the place.

00:35:46.120 So, it's really uneven and, and rustic, Glenn.

00:35:49.280 It's rustic.

00:35:50.520 Well, that's your white privilege with hardwood floors.

00:35:54.060 Normal people have laminate.

00:35:56.120 Just saying.

00:35:56.960 Guess what?

00:35:57.380 We had laminate in our room, too, and that's buckling as well.

00:36:00.640 All right.

00:36:00.960 Anyway, let me tell you about changing the look of your home just with changing the look

00:36:57.440 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:36:59.600 One more piece of news for you.

00:37:00.800 Global Christian ministry focus on the family remains locked out of its Twitter account.

00:37:04.860 After the organization tweeted a link to an article on its affiliated platform, the Daily Citizen,

00:37:12.220 the tweet said that boys and girls are different.

00:37:17.340 Locked out for that opinion.

00:37:20.120 Now, a scientific opinion, I might point out, but I better be careful what I point out.

00:37:28.760 Here's what I would like you to do today.

00:37:31.400 I want you to print out the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the first draft of the Declaration of Independence.

00:37:47.140 You'll be able to find that online, print them out, print not only the text, but also print the images of those things.

00:37:58.360 And if you can, I want you to go to a paper store or whatever and order some acid-free paper.

00:38:07.880 All of our books from really 1900, maybe 1880 to 1920 is when we started using less cotton and changing our paper.

00:38:22.280 All of the books that you have, the reason why they get so brittle is because there's no cotton in them and they're not acid-free.

00:38:31.340 You have to have acid-free paper if you are going to preserve anything.

00:38:36.440 But it is imperative that you start printing out or putting on a hard drive, but I would suggest printing them out.

00:38:46.800 Things that are important.

00:38:48.280 I suggest right now you start buying books, actual books, like The Road to Serfdom, like The Federalist Papers.

00:39:00.480 Make sure you can get that.

00:39:02.000 Like To Kill a Mockingbird is being taken out of libraries now.

00:39:07.480 Buy these books.

00:39:08.780 I'll give you a list over the next few weeks and the next few days.

00:39:13.000 I'll give you a list of documents.

00:39:14.580 We will make them available at Mercury One, these documents, so you can print them out.

00:39:20.300 But I urge you, if you can find encyclopedias prior to any dictionary prior to the year 2000, get it.

00:39:34.860 If you can get a Webster's Dictionary, I think it's the actual Webster's Dictionary prior to 1850, get it.

00:39:46.580 If you can find encyclopedias from any age, Mercury One, and if you have one, we will preserve it.

00:39:53.720 Just contact, don't just send them.

00:39:55.800 We are preserving now encyclopedias as far back as we can, and then when they're updated, to be able to document the changes in our dictionaries and in our encyclopedias.

00:40:11.280 But it is happening at rapid speed.

00:40:14.500 And all of the things that are in print are going to go away.

00:40:20.840 When Amazon says anything they deem hate speech, they are going to start deleting.

00:40:29.200 What are you using to determine hate speech?

00:40:32.760 What does that mean?

00:40:33.740 You just deleted a book that was a bestseller three, four years ago on why transgenderism, why girls and boys are different scientifically.

00:40:45.720 You said that was hate speech.

00:40:47.120 It's gone.

00:40:48.580 It's gone.

00:40:49.620 Unless you have a physical copy of it.

00:40:53.040 Please start thinking about owning physical copies of important books.

00:40:59.640 I want to tell you about American Financing.

00:41:04.480 American Financing can help you right now refinance your mortgage.

00:41:08.340 It is going to become very difficult for you to get a mortgage, for you to get a low-interest mortgage.

00:41:17.560 Quite honestly, the way things are going with the news today about what the financial services are doing, it might be hard for you just to get a loan.

00:41:25.460 You can save hundreds of dollars a month right now.

00:41:28.020 Maybe even over $1,000 if you consolidate your high-interest credit cards into your mortgage without resetting your mortgage.

00:41:37.660 I want you to go to the family-owned and operated American Financing.

00:41:41.380 They work for you at 800-906-2440.

00:41:45.560 800-906-2440.

00:41:47.860 Make a 10-minute phone call just to see if they can help you.

00:41:51.020 If you're paying 3% or 4% for your mortgage, you're paying too much.

00:41:54.860 AmericanFinancing.net.

00:41:57.200 That's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:41:59.060 800-906-2440.

00:42:01.500 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:31.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:39.800 Hello, America.

00:42:41.480 It's Wednesday.

00:42:42.620 And I want to talk to you a little bit about the Great Reset and the Green New Deal. 0.95

00:42:49.320 Because the Green New Deal is coming. 0.81

00:42:52.220 And if you deny it, if you are working against it, wrath is coming your way.

00:42:59.460 Those who are not complying to what are called ESG standards, and that is environmental, social justice, or governmental standards, are going to find it hard to get loans as a business.

00:43:15.560 It will be very difficult to do anything as a business, including getting loans at a business.

00:43:23.780 Because the banks are now targeting or discussing, targeting anybody who's into fossil fuels.

00:43:31.240 Anybody that is a huge footprint, unless you comply to these new ESG rules, you're not going to be able to do business.

00:43:40.280 Because that's why the car companies are coming out with all of the, we're going to be all green by 2030, 2035.

00:43:47.180 We're not going to have a combustion engine.

00:43:49.280 Well, that's great.

00:43:50.520 Except, you know, the thing you plug it into, that's not a little magic energy box.

00:43:58.260 Where's that energy coming from?

00:43:59.920 Is this going to make any difference at all?

00:44:05.560 Bjorn Lomborg is with us.

00:44:08.320 He's an expert on this.

00:44:09.780 The author of False Alarm in 60 Seconds.

00:44:16.360 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:19.380 I don't, you know, I don't know what it's like in your state right now.

00:44:25.560 But in our state, it was 80 degrees yesterday.

00:44:30.360 It was one last week.

00:44:33.760 It's crazy in Texas.

00:44:35.760 This is the way it always is.

00:44:36.740 It goes cold, hot, cold, hot.

00:44:38.600 At this time, it's always nuts.

00:44:41.820 That's not really the best for your car.

00:44:44.480 Cold really does a lot of damage to your car.

00:44:48.020 And that's when most repairs really start to happen, is at the end of seasons and during the snow and cold weather.

00:44:56.840 If you don't have a warranty left on your car, it can be a little white knuckle as you're driving and you see that check engine light come on.

00:45:05.940 I know I have a truck that I want to drive till the doors fall off on it.

00:45:10.280 It's at our ranch and we use it all the time.

00:45:13.820 It's our it's our go to vehicle.

00:45:16.880 I don't want to buy a new one.

00:45:18.300 It's paid for.

00:45:19.520 Why would I buy a new one?

00:45:20.920 It works fine.

00:45:22.240 We had a chip go on it.

00:45:23.580 It was, I think, six, six thousand dollars.

00:45:26.800 It was crazy.

00:45:29.860 Luckily, it was covered by CarShield, because if it wasn't, I wouldn't have.

00:45:34.760 When they said, yeah, it's six thousand dollars and I was there to pick up the car.

00:45:38.320 I was like, why didn't you call me?

00:45:40.920 Six thousand dollars.

00:45:41.720 They said it's all covered with CarShield.

00:45:44.240 OK, I'm glad you didn't call me.

00:45:46.480 Let's get out of here before they figure out.

00:45:48.040 I mean, it was it was amazing.

00:46:11.120 Bjorn Lomborg, he is the author of False Alarm, President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center

00:46:24.180 and Visiting Fellow of the Hoover Institute.

00:46:27.560 Welcome, Bjorn.

00:46:28.380 How are you?

00:46:29.920 Hey, Glenn.

00:46:30.500 It's good to be back.

00:46:31.460 I'm good.

00:46:31.900 How are you?

00:46:32.380 I'm I'm good.

00:46:33.460 I'm I'm a little concerned, you know, how things are starting to be censored here in America

00:46:39.940 and things are, you know, you're you're they're starting to call people with a different point

00:46:45.320 of view, you know, dangerous radicals and terrorists.

00:46:51.720 And I I I wonder how far this is going to go.

00:46:56.660 We just saw Amazon ban another book yesterday.

00:47:00.960 They said they're going to start deleting all books they consider hate speech.

00:47:04.700 I don't know if that's to gill a mockingbird, you know, or or Mein Kampf or what.

00:47:10.240 I just I've never lived in a country where we ban books.

00:47:13.180 And I wonder if you've thought of I mean, this is not what I had you on for, but I wonder

00:47:16.680 if you've ever thought of you're you're an extremist.

00:47:20.120 You don't buy into the answers and the solutions for climate change.

00:47:27.460 Yeah, there's a lot.

00:47:28.920 So, look, my basic point is global warming is a real problem, but it's often vastly exaggerated

00:47:35.560 and impact and may a lot of the rhetoric around it make people panicky and it makes

00:47:42.300 us make bad decisions.

00:47:43.540 And that's what I'm really challenging.

00:47:45.660 I've had a lot of people tell me they would love to see me de-platformed.

00:47:49.820 They'd love to not see my or hear my arguments being voiced clearly.

00:47:56.260 But but I also think that most people recognize that's not the way to run a democracy.

00:48:04.320 Actually, I think John Stuart Mill already, you know, like almost 200 years ago, pointed

00:48:09.780 out that listening to people whom you don't agree with is a good idea.

00:48:16.860 Partly, if you're right, they'll prove you right and they'll show you why you're right.

00:48:21.660 And if you're wrong, of course, you actually want to find out that you're wrong.

00:48:24.960 So listening to dissenting voices is a really good thing.

00:48:29.060 It makes democracy stronger and it's also likely it'll make your decision better.

00:48:34.020 Only if we are rooted in, you know, the the scientific theory that, you know, show me the

00:48:40.340 evidence and I'll respond to the evidence.

00:48:43.700 We we we're no longer doing that.

00:48:47.100 There's we're just going off of what people, you know, want everybody to believe.

00:48:52.820 I believe in global warming.

00:48:55.460 I can read a thermometer.

00:48:57.820 What I don't believe in is a lot of the things that they say, for instance, the Green New Deal

00:49:02.700 or let's just take this first electric cars.

00:49:06.580 Well, that's wonderful.

00:49:07.860 They're all electric.

00:49:08.580 But where are we getting the power to charge them?

00:49:13.540 Hmm.

00:49:14.600 Am I wrong on thinking that way?

00:49:16.380 Well, well, you're certainly right in your intuition that we need a lot more than just

00:49:22.840 getting cars to be electric, because let's face it, as long as they still power by coal

00:49:28.120 power, they will emit almost as much.

00:49:31.300 Remember, electric cars use a lot of energy, typically in China or elsewhere, mostly produced

00:49:38.100 with with coal to produce their batteries.

00:49:41.020 And so once they get to you, you can feel all virtues and green and drive around and feel

00:49:46.460 really like I'm doing something for global warming.

00:49:49.340 But the reality is you've just emitted a lot of CO2 in China.

00:49:54.020 And so you have to drive your car, you know, 40,000, 60,000 miles before it's actually free

00:50:00.860 and you can actually start saving.

00:50:02.520 Now, that depends a lot on how much of the power that you use come from fossil fuels.

00:50:08.060 But you also need to decarbonize the whole electricity grid.

00:50:13.500 And that turns out to be really, really hard.

00:50:16.540 And so, again, we need to recognize that, sure, electric cars are great for some purposes.

00:50:23.540 If you I have a friend who has a Tesla and I've been driving, I love it.

00:50:27.780 You know, it's fun.

00:50:28.680 But first of all, it's incredibly expensive.

00:50:30.820 So it's mostly fun for the other classes.

00:50:33.740 And secondly, it doesn't cut all that much CO2.

00:50:38.500 So, you know, when when Biden and many others are suggesting we should give subsidies

00:50:42.660 in the tune of seven and a half thousand dollars, maybe ten thousand dollars,

00:50:47.820 you are basically paying an extraordinarily high price to cut a little bit of CO2.

00:50:53.660 You could have spent that money much, much better either cutting carbon emissions.

00:50:58.200 Or remember, there's a lot of other problems that you want to fix both in the U.S.

00:51:02.680 or around the world.

00:51:03.340 So, again, this is a question about getting our priorities right.

00:51:07.300 It's a question of getting a sense of what is the impact of what you try to do, not just

00:51:12.620 feeling virtuous, but actually doing good.

00:51:14.700 So, Bjorn, I I put my trust in the free, not the corrupt capitalism that we have now, but in the actual free market to solve these things.

00:51:28.120 And we're just not there yet.

00:51:30.560 We are going to solve these things.

00:51:32.840 But look at what happened to Texas.

00:51:35.360 Now, it's not entirely because of, you know, we're cutting back and and cutting back on, you know, fuels that we have grown to trust, you know, and gone all to windmills.

00:51:48.360 But it's partially because of that.

00:51:51.620 And I have no problem.

00:51:53.280 I own a farm.

00:51:54.900 It's completely green energy.

00:51:56.840 It's completely off the grid.

00:51:58.480 It's solar and it's wind power and it's backed up by natural gas if we have to.

00:52:05.620 I'm all for it.

00:52:06.900 But, A, only the rich can afford it.

00:52:10.200 And, B, I've spent I can't tell you how much money getting this to be stable.

00:52:17.320 It's not ready yet for prime time.

00:52:21.680 No, and certainly most people.

00:52:24.200 I was actually very curious to hear that you have backup from gas, because most people, of course, just get the backup from the electricity grid, which, of course, simply means that they get all the subsidies.

00:52:35.540 And they push on all the cost of still driving the rest of the electricity system to typically the poorer rate pairs.

00:52:45.400 So in some sense, you're absolutely right.

00:52:47.800 Most of this is something that supports rich people a lot and supports a lot of virtue signaling, but actually does fairly little to cut carbon emissions.

00:52:57.760 And you're right about the idea that what the Texas, the terrible incident in Texas last week, I think shows most clearly not, you know, was it windmills fault or was it the gas or the cold power fire plants or even the nuclear plant that dropped off for a while?

00:53:15.280 Well, it's much more a question saying without stable power, you're really up Creek.

00:53:21.360 Yes.

00:53:21.860 As a society, you need stable power.

00:53:24.880 That's what makes us rich.

00:53:26.120 If you go to many developing countries, one of the things you see is they all have a diesel generator because they know they can't trust the power system.

00:53:33.400 And that is one of the reasons why they're trapped in poverty, because you don't want to invest in a place where you don't have sustainable power.

00:53:40.980 That's why we cannot imagine ourselves run just off of wind and solar, although people love to say that, because what are you going to do when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing?

00:53:51.460 And remember, people then, you know, sort of facility, I'm not sure whether that's an affair, but they very easily say, oh, we'll just have batteries.

00:54:01.420 Remember, you need a lot of batteries right now.

00:54:04.120 The U.S. have batteries enough to support 14 seconds of the U.S. electricity consumption.

00:54:10.840 Oh, my gosh.

00:54:11.780 We're near being able to have that for hours, days or even season.

00:54:16.660 And I will tell you, they're wildly expensive.

00:54:19.420 I mean, you still have to replace those batteries over time, and they don't hold as much as anybody thinks they do.

00:54:28.840 I mean, it's, you know, I am on solar and I put it all into batteries.

00:54:32.980 But I'll tell you, we go a week without sunshine.

00:54:36.860 We ain't using that.

00:54:38.740 I mean, we have these gigantic batteries.

00:54:41.420 They're out.

00:54:42.400 They're out.

00:54:43.200 There was a wonderful story in a little northeast Indian village.

00:54:50.620 It was the first Indian village that went all solar, supported by Greenpeace.

00:54:57.160 And, you know, they got lots and lots of PR.

00:55:00.420 And everybody was very excited in this village because they didn't have any electricity.

00:55:04.340 So, clearly, getting some solar electricity was better than nothing.

00:55:09.500 But what happened when they turned it on was, of course, after two hours at night, everybody had depleted it.

00:55:15.900 So, they had to start telling people, oh, you can't use this.

00:55:18.500 You can't do that.

00:55:19.400 Oh, God, no, not a refrigerator.

00:55:21.680 And, you know, suddenly there's a lot of things you can't do.

00:55:24.480 And then when the minister came to, you know, inaugurate this whole project, the villagers was actually protesting.

00:55:33.180 They said they didn't want fake electricity.

00:55:35.740 They want real electricity.

00:55:37.620 And, you know, because he was democratically voted in, they actually got a new power line from the main grid, mostly powered by coal, in a couple weeks.

00:55:46.920 And, oh, and the prices dropped by two-thirds.

00:55:49.680 And, again, you know, this is not to discourage the fact that, yes, solar and wind have a space.

00:55:55.680 And they are sometimes really good.

00:55:57.660 You know, in California, if you have little, if you have some solar, it can actually cut off the very top peak usage around noon when you need it for air conditioning.

00:56:08.880 That's great.

00:56:09.880 But don't believe that you can run an economy off of this.

00:56:14.000 Back with Bjorn Lundberg in just a minute.

00:56:16.120 First, let me tell you about AMAC.

00:56:17.740 When the time comes to choose the advocacy group that's right for you, where do you turn?

00:56:22.900 A lot of options, some of them good, some of them not so good.

00:56:26.060 Let me tell you about one that I do believe in.

00:56:28.220 It's AMAC.

00:56:29.360 It stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens.

00:56:33.020 And if it sounds like that might apply to you, then you need to take a little time and check them out today.

00:56:37.380 It's AMAC, A-M-A-C.

00:56:39.360 They represent courage, faith, reason, scientific thinking, solvency in a time of runaway debt, national security and sovereignty over unchecked borders, freedom, the freedoms that are guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

00:56:58.440 Who's standing up for those things?

00:57:01.420 AMAC.

00:57:02.160 Membership comes with a wealth of benefits and discounts for you, but it also comes with a group of people that are standing up and fighting and want you in the fight as well to be able to fight for these things that we all are supposed to believe in.

00:57:15.800 I mean, I always thought we did, but apparently we don't.

00:57:18.880 Stand with AMAC.

00:57:19.860 As they fight the good fight by becoming a member today, the benefits are great, but the cause is even greater.

00:57:33.680 Better for you.

00:57:34.700 Better for America. 0.62

00:57:36.060 Ten seconds.

00:57:36.580 Station ID.

00:57:37.080 We're with Bjorn Lomborg, the author of False Alarm, another book.

00:57:53.460 I was telling you last hour books that you should get and in print, False Alarm is one of those.

00:58:00.600 I don't know if Bjorn is as concerned as I am, but I think that, you know, anyone who is skeptical on the solutions or the Green New Deal or the Paris Accords are going to have some problems in the future.

00:58:18.580 Yeah, it really is a must read.

00:58:19.880 You need to have this book.

00:58:21.560 Let me, Bjorn, if I could go back to something you wrote several years ago.

00:58:24.560 I refer to this often is something you wrote in Global Policy, Volume 7, Issue 1 in 2016 about the Paris Accord.

00:58:32.100 And you talk about what would happen if the Paris Climate Agreement was actually, if everyone fully participated in it and everything went the way they said it would and no one broke any rules.

00:58:45.520 The impact of this, which has caused so much consternation here in the United States about whether we're going to be in it or not, is so minuscule, it seems almost impossible to imagine that it's caused this much conversation.

00:59:01.420 Yeah, no, that's absolutely right.

00:59:02.640 And what we showed in that article was that even if everyone did what everybody has promised, and this is the UN's own estimate, the cuts by 2030 would be equivalent to reducing temperatures by the end of the century by less than 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit.

00:59:22.300 Oh, my God.

00:59:52.300 If you decide you're going to go on dieting and you eat a salad and you sort of declare, oh, done that.

00:59:58.320 Now I have a beach bod.

01:00:00.060 No, that's actually not how that works.

01:00:03.560 You need a lot more.

01:00:04.960 And, of course, that's what we're now coming up to, realizing, oh, wait, if you actually want to fix this, you need a lot more and it's going to be a lot harder and a lot more expensive.

01:00:13.440 Okay, so that's the thing.

01:00:14.700 John Kerry just said we have nine years.

01:00:17.320 I'm tired of these.

01:00:18.860 I mean, we hit them always.

01:00:21.240 But now this is it.

01:00:23.400 We only have nine years to fix this.

01:00:25.820 A, is that true at all?

01:00:29.000 No.

01:00:29.660 Yeah.

01:00:30.580 The best person for this is actually the Prince Charles in the UK.

01:00:38.920 He's both predicted that we only had 100 months, like 10 years ago, and we had, I think, six months.

01:00:46.740 Last year, he said, we literally have an hour left.

01:00:51.980 You're just like, really?

01:00:54.940 Wow.

01:00:55.560 This comes from the idea that the UN and the UN Climate Panel was, in 2018, asked to produce a report that shows what will it take to get to something that's almost impossible, namely less than two degrees centigrade.

01:01:11.860 What will it take to do something almost impossible?

01:01:14.480 Not surprisingly, they came back with a report that said, you will have to do something almost impossible by 2030.

01:01:21.140 That was interpreted by people to say, this was 12 years ago, but 12 years from then, in 2018.

01:01:30.620 So people just came out and said, we have 12 years to solve global warming.

01:01:35.380 We have 12 years to save the planet.

01:01:37.680 But the reality is, no, we have 12 years if we want to do something that's almost impossible, that nobody has argued is actually the best outcome.

01:01:47.660 And in many ways, it's probably one of the most silly things to imagine that we could do, because it's going to be phenomenally expensive.

01:01:55.880 And at the margin, it'll actually help very little extra.

01:01:59.040 So I want to go into what is being proposed now and what you see coming our way and what society actually looks like if these things are implemented.

01:02:13.880 I want to do that here in just a second.

01:02:16.100 But before we leave the Paris Accords, I read just last week, or maybe it was this week, that China has built three times more coal power plants than the rest of the world combined in the last year.

01:02:34.060 And they said, don't worry, we have to do this now, but we're going to be compliant and we'll hit all of our goals by 2050.

01:02:44.600 I don't believe that.

01:02:49.040 Well, actually, China is smarter than that, because China has promised that they are going to peak their emissions by 2030, and they're then going to get it down to zero in 2060.

01:03:00.200 Now, if you're going to peak something, wouldn't you want to push it up as far up as you could?

01:03:04.780 So in some sense, it makes a lot of sense to say we're going to build a lot of power plants, and then we can peak at a really high level.

01:03:12.200 This is not entirely true.

01:03:13.360 Wow.

01:03:13.800 That's roughly what they're doing.

01:03:16.080 The other bit, promising that they'll go to net zero in 2060, I think was particularly clever, because it both means that they're going to do this after everyone else has done it, and it also means that they've shown goodwill.

01:03:29.800 But remember, in their proposal for Paris, they actually not only proposed that they were going to go net zero by 2060, they also...

01:03:39.120 Hang on, hang on, hang on.

01:03:40.480 Hang on just a second.

01:03:42.440 We had to go to a network break.

01:03:43.660 More with Beyond Longberg, and we'll get the final on that, and what America looks like in just a couple of seconds.

01:05:02.740 More with Brian Lomborg on the other side.

01:05:09.340 Coming up in just about 30 minutes, Jason Whitlock.

01:05:14.920 He is the sports and societal commentator and writer.

01:05:20.740 He's brilliant.

01:05:21.880 He's going to be on with us here in about 30 minutes.

01:05:24.180 We're going to talk a little bit about Tiger Woods, but more on what's happening in our society.

01:05:28.300 Right now we have Bjorn Lomborg, who was one of our first guests, if not the first guest,

01:05:37.520 that we had on our CNN special 15 years ago called Climate of Fear.

01:05:43.840 It's amazing.

01:05:44.660 Yes.

01:05:44.940 Something that they would never allow on today.

01:05:48.980 And he is a guy who, you know, we don't agree politically, I'm sure, on a lot of things.

01:05:56.580 But we're at the same place, I think, where, okay, if this is real, what's the best thing to do?

01:06:04.400 And things like the Green New Deal are not it.

01:06:09.360 It seems to be about redistribution of wealth and power and control more than climate change.

01:06:19.620 And it will devastate the Western economies.

01:06:23.860 And then you don't help anybody.

01:06:25.040 Bjorn, tell me about the Green New Deal as proposed if it goes through and all of these deals that seemingly the left is ready to impose on the country.

01:06:43.560 What do we look like when it's fully operational, this Death Star?

01:06:49.120 So the Green New Deal is a lot of different things.

01:06:52.580 And my speciality is looking at the climate part of this.

01:06:56.900 So there's a lot of other things involved in it.

01:06:59.500 But certainly the Green New Deal, just on the climate part, is a very expensive bid to basically make sure that America becomes not dependent on fossil fuels,

01:07:11.220 basically just carbon neutral by 2050 or even before.

01:07:15.860 Biden has promised to make the electricity grid carbon neutral already by 2035.

01:07:21.960 Is that possible?

01:07:23.220 Is that even possible?

01:07:25.300 Well, the thing to remember, I think, is everything is in principle possible if you're willing to pay enough.

01:07:32.180 That's, of course, one of the beauties of a market economy.

01:07:36.080 So you can simply pay up and then you will be able to get an almost carbon neutral energy grid.

01:07:45.120 The thing to remember, and I think this is very helpful, Bill Gates points out that if you want to think about this,

01:07:52.580 if you can't live without fossil fuels, you can just simply suck out the CO2 from the atmosphere.

01:07:58.060 We know what the price of that is.

01:08:00.060 So you could pretty much make the whole world go carbon neutral for about 6% or 7% of global GDP.

01:08:07.520 So if you just made everyone 6% or 7% poorer, you could probably solve this problem.

01:08:13.900 Now, remember, most policies that try to achieve this will do this in a less effective way.

01:08:20.440 So very often we'll end up seeing more costly outcomes.

01:08:24.120 So New Zealand, one of these countries who've been promising to go carbon neutral by mid-century,

01:08:31.300 they've actually had the courage to ask their independent economic organizations to say,

01:08:36.680 how much is this going to cost us?

01:08:38.120 Not that it made them change their mind.

01:08:40.060 But that organization came out and said, this is going to cost you at least 16% of your GDP by 2050.

01:08:48.000 Oh my gosh.

01:08:49.100 But every year, if you screw it up, it might be a lot more than that.

01:08:54.680 Oh my gosh.

01:08:55.720 16% of GDP by 2050 for the U.S. is $5 trillion.

01:09:01.400 A year.

01:09:02.080 I think there's two things you need to recognize when you talk about the future.

01:09:06.280 You are going to pay a lot if you want to fix climate change the way that Green New Deal.

01:09:12.920 And honestly, most people are arguing that we should fix climate change right now.

01:09:16.860 You should also recognize that because the market economy is actually such a wonderful engine,

01:09:23.020 it is not going to bring us to the poorhouse.

01:09:25.700 It'll simply make us less richer than we otherwise would have been.

01:09:29.360 Well, they say that by not fixing global warming,

01:09:36.100 that it'll hurt the economy by X number of dollars in GDP in the next 50 years.

01:09:43.220 Is that true?

01:09:45.000 By not doing anything, we're poorer?

01:09:48.380 So global warming is a problem.

01:09:51.040 And climate economists have spent about three decades looking at what are the costs of this.

01:09:57.520 And they've come out and said, look, if you don't do anything by the 2070s,

01:10:02.540 so when climate change is a little further ahead, the UN estimate the impact will be equivalent of making each one of us

01:10:09.220 somewhere between 0.2% and 2% less well off.

01:10:13.320 So at the worst case, it's 2% in the 2070s.

01:10:17.160 Remember, by then, we will be, on average, or across the world, this is again UN data,

01:10:23.200 will be 364% as rich as we are today.

01:10:27.360 But because of global warming, we'll only be 356% as rich.

01:10:33.780 If that's a problem, no, it's not the end of the world.

01:10:37.580 And, of course, the real problem is if you then try to solve a 2% problem by going 16% into debt,

01:10:45.580 you're basically fixing a wrist ache by cutting off your arm.

01:10:50.460 That's a really bad idea.

01:10:52.080 So how do we, you have been so outspoken, you're so well-spoken, you have the facts,

01:11:00.380 you have written many books, you are very well-respected,

01:11:04.520 and we seem to be going down the same panic road every year, and it gets worse and worse and worse.

01:11:12.440 What can we do to stop the hysteria and actually get back to a table where you're talking about reasonable things?

01:11:24.640 Yeah.

01:11:25.700 And in some ways, your question has built in the problem.

01:11:30.140 It's really hard to fix this because, remember, politicians love to promise stuff that they don't have to pay,

01:11:36.860 which is why it's wonderful to talk about what you're going to do in 2050 when you're not only not going to be in politics,

01:11:43.540 but possibly not even going to be around.

01:11:46.100 So it's wonderful for politicians to be able to say,

01:11:49.360 you are going to die unless you elect me and let me save you from climate change.

01:11:54.140 And likewise, most media loves to play up one catastrophe after another.

01:12:00.220 So this is a really hard thing to solve.

01:12:02.560 We keep doing it wrongly, but you're absolutely right to say, so how do we solve this?

01:12:08.220 Look, we solve it in the way that we have always solved problems through innovation.

01:12:13.680 Remember back in the 1950s, Los Angeles was a pretty damn polluted place,

01:12:21.120 mostly from cars and its special geography.

01:12:24.980 It was a terrible place.

01:12:26.820 A lot of people were really, really worried.

01:12:28.300 This was mostly from cars, and the simple sort of Green New Deal approach to this would be to say,

01:12:34.180 let's get everyone to stop using cars.

01:12:36.440 Let's get everyone to walk and bike instead.

01:12:38.940 Of course, that would never fly.

01:12:40.740 What actually did work was, in 1974, a bright guy invented the catalytic converter.

01:12:47.180 You plug it on, you pay $500 or thereabouts,

01:12:50.400 and basically, voila, your emissions are much, much lower.

01:12:54.780 You pollute maybe, you know, 5% or 10% of what you used to do.

01:12:59.360 So now we have a situation, Los Angeles is much cleaner,

01:13:02.660 even though people drive around a lot more.

01:13:04.940 And you've done so through technology instead of telling people,

01:13:08.600 I'm sorry, could you do less, which will never really work.

01:13:12.200 That's what we need for climate change.

01:13:14.480 We need innovation that will make green energy so cheap

01:13:18.500 that not just, you know, you and your farm and rich, well-meaning Americans

01:13:23.220 will substitute fossil fuels for green energy,

01:13:26.760 but that also Chinese, Indians, the rest of South Asia, Africans, Latin Americans will switch.

01:13:34.440 This is what we've solved, how we've solved almost all problems in the world.

01:13:39.380 If we invest a lot more in innovation,

01:13:42.520 that is the way that we'll actually fix climate change and fix it cheaply.

01:13:47.660 And also, of course, if we manage to make cheap green energy,

01:13:51.880 it'll also unlock untold fortunes for the world's poor,

01:13:56.020 which actually is the main problem of solving global warming.

01:13:59.360 It's not about getting Americans off CO2,

01:14:02.700 because you actually will emit fairly little of the emissions in the 21st century.

01:14:07.620 Even John Kerry admitted as much.

01:14:09.520 This is about getting the rest of the world to do this,

01:14:13.320 and you only manage to do it through innovation.

01:14:16.720 So let me ask an additional question here about green and clean energy.

01:14:25.560 There is a new nuclear power plant, if you want to call it that,

01:14:33.000 a very small device that is now being tested out

01:14:37.300 and can be used in all kinds of areas,

01:14:42.140 especially the poorest places in the world.

01:14:45.460 It doesn't have meltdown capability, if you will,

01:14:50.600 at least far as I understand it.

01:14:52.720 A, have you heard about that?

01:14:54.620 And B, why isn't the green movement all over nuclear energy?

01:15:00.340 It can make hydrogen.

01:15:01.920 I mean, it's, it is, it's, it's nonstop.

01:15:06.760 Yeah.

01:15:07.420 So absolutely nuclear or, uh, uh, uh,

01:15:10.760 fission, uh, uh, should be one of the things that we look at.

01:15:14.380 The reason, so most, most, uh, green, uh, people are not happy about, uh,

01:15:20.660 nuclear simply because it used to be really,

01:15:24.080 it used to be thought of as really dangerous.

01:15:26.160 And, you know,

01:15:26.800 they marched against it when they were young and that kind of thing.

01:15:29.220 But the reality is it's not dangerous.

01:15:31.880 Actually, nuclear power is probably one of the most safe, uh,

01:15:35.140 ways to produce electricity.

01:15:37.180 But unfortunately right now,

01:15:39.240 partly because we have huge regulations on these,

01:15:42.200 they're incredibly expensive.

01:15:43.860 So right now you will not be able to get the world on just nuclear power.

01:15:49.020 But the, the, uh, the gizmo that you were talking about,

01:15:52.180 I haven't heard of that particular one,

01:15:53.960 but there's lots of development in what's known as fourth generation nuclear power,

01:15:58.120 which is modularized, much safer.

01:16:00.860 And they promise that it'll be much, much cheaper.

01:16:03.780 If that happens, yes,

01:16:06.160 that will be possibly the solution or certainly one of the solutions.

01:16:10.760 My, my only concern here is we should also recognize that was what they told us

01:16:14.740 about the other three generations of nuclear power, right?

01:16:17.200 That'll be incredibly safe and incredibly cheap.

01:16:19.400 Well, but honestly, you know that, that it is incredibly safe.

01:16:24.240 It's only, um,

01:16:25.720 it's only unsafe when you have corrupt governments like, you know,

01:16:29.940 the former Soviet union, uh, building those things when you have.

01:16:34.220 Sorry, sorry.

01:16:34.660 My, my point was not the, the, the safety.

01:16:37.080 It was the, the cost part.

01:16:38.920 Uh, so the cost part though,

01:16:41.100 isn't the cost part due to the regulations that, I mean,

01:16:46.720 some of those regulations are put there to make it impossible to afford to

01:16:51.980 build a nuclear power plant.

01:16:53.940 There's, there's certainly an argument to be made for that.

01:16:56.260 And I think they're, you know,

01:16:57.800 a reasonable part of the regulations are, uh, are two owners.

01:17:03.180 On the other hand,

01:17:04.040 I think you also just simply need to recognize there's no way you're ever going

01:17:07.560 to make the argument.

01:17:08.840 Let's make nuclear power plants a little less safe.

01:17:11.280 So you need, you need to get cheaper, safer, uh,

01:17:19.840 uh, fourth generation nuclear.

01:17:21.660 But, but the whole point I think here is to recognize that there's lots of

01:17:25.460 ideas.

01:17:25.800 So nuclear could be one of them, obviously fusion.

01:17:28.820 So, you know, big idea that could, could, could be it, uh,

01:17:32.700 also recognize that there are lots of other ideas.

01:17:35.320 Craig Bencher, the guy who cracked the human genome back in 2000,

01:17:38.460 he has this idea of, of distributing, uh,

01:17:42.040 algae that on the ocean surface that basically soaks up sunlight CO2 and

01:17:47.520 produces oil.

01:17:48.620 So we could basically have a whole oil based economy,

01:17:52.200 but CO2 neutral because they've just soaked up the CO2 out in the,

01:17:56.240 on the ocean surface.

01:17:57.200 This is not by any means commercially available right now,

01:18:01.540 but it's in principle possible.

01:18:03.100 And it's one of these many, many ideas.

01:18:05.160 So again, the idea here is if you invest in a lot of these,

01:18:08.460 ideas and that's how innovation work,

01:18:10.080 most of them are going to fail and that's okay because we just need a few

01:18:14.080 of these to work.

01:18:15.280 And those are the ideas that will power the 21st century.

01:18:18.140 Bjorn Lomborg.

01:18:18.920 Thank you so much for being on, uh, stay well.

01:18:21.620 And we hope to have you on again.

01:18:23.220 Thank you.

01:18:24.340 Absolutely.

01:18:25.020 Good to talk to you.

01:18:25.660 Good to talk to you.

01:18:26.520 First, let me tell you that tonight's special is on green activism.

01:18:31.020 It's been around for decades,

01:18:32.640 but what used to be crazy has gone mainstream in Washington.

01:18:37.600 Uh, it's the holy anointing of quote science.

01:18:41.880 You have to believe the science.

01:18:43.920 You cannot question the science.

01:18:45.640 What has changed now is the relentless preaching on climate change.

01:18:50.680 It's deep penetration in government and business.

01:18:55.060 It is these new ESG rules,

01:18:59.200 which you will understand spearheaded by the world economic forum.

01:19:02.460 The great reset has a new oligarchy of billionaires united with governments

01:19:07.960 and corporations to make market socialism as the ultimate solution to

01:19:12.500 apocalyptic climate change.

01:19:14.520 We are going to take you through it.

01:19:16.860 The chalkboard plays a big role in tonight's special Wednesday night

01:19:22.300 special only on blaze TV.

01:19:25.100 If you're not a member,

01:19:26.100 we urge you to join us now.

01:19:28.080 Blaze TV.com slash Glenn.

01:19:31.060 Make sure you use the promo code Glenn.

01:19:32.980 This is the last week to save 30% on your subscription.

01:19:37.860 All right,

01:19:38.600 slowly,

01:19:38.980 but surely things are getting back to normal here in Texas.

01:19:41.620 I mean,

01:19:42.100 it was 80 yesterday.

01:19:44.240 It was 80.

01:19:45.920 No matter how you slice it,

01:19:47.420 no matter what side of the aisle you're judging this from,

01:19:49.760 the truth of the matter is we were not prepared for this kind of disaster.

01:19:55.020 So what kind of disaster in your area are you not prepared for?

01:19:59.480 It's easy enough to ignore these things after they hit until after they hit.

01:20:04.620 We just don't,

01:20:06.120 we don't think of them,

01:20:06.960 but I don't think you're that kind of person.

01:20:08.860 I urge you now to check out my Patriot supply.

01:20:11.980 Their food stays fresh for up to 25 years in proper storage.

01:20:15.300 You're never going to have to go hungry or stand in a government food line.

01:20:19.880 My Patriot supply America's leader in emergency food storage should secure a four week,

01:20:25.740 three month,

01:20:26.220 or even a one year emergency food kit.

01:20:29.160 They'll all provide 2000 calories a day.

01:20:32.500 It's all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out.

01:20:35.320 So before that happens,

01:20:36.740 go to my Patriot supply,

01:20:38.500 get the food storage you need before you need it.

01:20:42.400 Food kits,

01:20:42.900 kits a ship in one to two days.

01:20:45.280 They arrived discreetly at your door.

01:20:47.060 So don't wait.

01:20:47.880 Prepare now.

01:20:49.820 My Patriot supply.com.

01:20:51.520 That's my Patriot supply.com.

01:20:55.420 You were listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:01.920 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:04.460 We'll continue our conversation on the green new deal and what it really means tonight at 9 PM.

01:21:12.100 And also I'd like to go into some stuff that Bjorn talked about with you on the Stu show right before.

01:21:19.880 Stu does America.

01:21:20.540 Yeah.

01:21:20.760 8 PM Eastern.

01:21:21.540 Yeah.

01:21:21.840 We could do that.

01:21:23.100 You've been bumped for today though.

01:21:25.320 I've been bumped.

01:21:26.700 Yeah.

01:21:27.020 So tomorrow.

01:21:27.980 Yeah.

01:21:28.100 We've got a bigger name.

01:21:28.880 Actually a guy I met at seven 11 yesterday.

01:21:30.760 He was buying corn chips,

01:21:31.840 a new kind of corn chips.

01:21:32.860 He's going to come on and talk about them.

01:21:34.400 So you've been bumped till tomorrow.

01:21:37.080 Sorry.

01:21:37.780 So sorry.

01:21:38.580 And if we have time for you tomorrow,

01:21:39.960 I'm not sure we'll have time tomorrow,

01:21:41.460 but if we have time tomorrow,

01:21:42.580 we'll do that.

01:21:43.320 Really?

01:21:43.720 This guy though,

01:21:44.000 I mean,

01:21:44.180 he doesn't,

01:21:44.500 he doesn't really have a particularly dynamic opinion about the corn chips,

01:21:47.780 but he did buy them.

01:21:49.120 And I just thought it would be good.

01:21:50.740 Okay.

01:21:50.940 All right.

01:21:51.660 Well,

01:21:52.020 it's going to be a riveting.

01:21:53.760 Stu does corn chips.

01:21:55.280 I think tonight on the blaze prior to my program.

01:21:58.980 We found out some bad news yesterday that Tiger Woods had a pretty significant car accident.

01:22:11.720 It looks like he is stable.

01:22:14.380 Looks like he's going to be able to walk again.

01:22:16.980 We think,

01:22:18.100 but he was badly,

01:22:20.440 badly injured.

01:22:21.640 It doesn't look like there was alcohol involved or drugs.

01:22:24.920 We don't know exactly how this one car accident happened and it doesn't appear to have any skid marks anywhere on the road.

01:22:34.520 And he traveled a long way over two lanes,

01:22:38.960 a median and two lanes of oncoming traffic.

01:22:42.040 And then deep into the woods before his car flipped and crushed him.

01:22:46.820 We have Jason Whitlock,

01:22:48.940 the sports writer and societal commentator to talk about this and so much more in 60 seconds.

01:22:58.420 The Glenn Beck program.

01:23:00.960 So let me tell you a little bit about Raycon.

01:23:03.980 I was driving in yesterday.

01:23:07.100 Raycon wireless earbuds had them in my ears.

01:23:10.500 It was,

01:23:11.280 I mean,

01:23:11.620 it's just great sound.

01:23:12.940 It's a tight fitting earbuds.

01:23:18.280 So you,

01:23:18.880 you don't hear a lot of the outside.

01:23:21.580 I had the windows open because it was so beautiful yesterday and didn't hear the,

01:23:27.040 didn't hear the,

01:23:27.720 actually had to take the earbud out a little bit at one point because I,

01:23:33.440 I,

01:23:34.060 I thought I heard something and I didn't know if it was coming from the outside.

01:23:38.140 It wasn't,

01:23:38.600 it was coming from the song.

01:23:39.580 It sounded like a siren.

01:23:40.600 And it's just noise canceling.

01:23:44.020 It's just great.

01:23:44.940 It's really great.

01:23:46.260 They're comfortable.

01:23:47.480 They sound great.

01:23:48.560 They're half the price of Apple iPods.

01:23:51.020 Try it.

01:23:51.880 Just go to a Raycon.com.

01:23:53.860 You're going to say 15% off of all of their products.

01:23:56.880 And like I said,

01:23:57.400 they're already about half the price of any Apple product.

01:24:00.200 And they're,

01:24:00.760 they're just more stylish.

01:24:02.140 And they also,

01:24:03.360 uh,

01:24:04.380 uh,

01:24:04.980 they also feel better in your ears.

01:24:06.740 I think Apple products are very uncomfortable in years,

01:24:09.460 but what do I know? 0.56

01:24:10.740 I've got really goofy ears.

01:24:12.320 Uh,

01:24:24.620 Jason Whitlock.

01:24:27.260 Welcome to the program.

01:24:28.360 How are you?

01:24:29.560 Awesome.

01:24:30.360 Thanks for having me.

01:24:31.320 You bet.

01:24:31.680 I know that Tiger Woods was,

01:24:33.400 uh,

01:24:34.520 kind of a,

01:24:35.180 a big deal growing up with you and your dad,

01:24:38.080 right?

01:24:39.140 Absolutely.

01:24:39.820 Tiger is my favorite athlete of all time.

01:24:43.040 Me and my dad,

01:24:44.460 you know,

01:24:45.340 just brought us closer together,

01:24:46.760 talked about Tiger more than any other athlete.

01:24:49.980 Tiger.

01:24:50.700 When I think of sports and just happy moments,

01:24:53.380 it's,

01:24:53.860 it's Tiger Woods and Magic Johnson when he was with the Lakers.

01:24:56.700 Yeah.

01:24:57.360 Uh,

01:24:57.680 Tiger Woods,

01:24:58.260 I think was that way for all of us,

01:25:00.820 especially when his dad was alive,

01:25:02.360 uh,

01:25:03.380 because of their relationship and what they accomplished together.

01:25:07.940 Uh,

01:25:08.580 and,

01:25:09.180 uh,

01:25:09.760 you know,

01:25:10.040 I think his,

01:25:10.760 his spiral into trouble,

01:25:13.200 it,

01:25:13.680 it appears to be,

01:25:15.700 I don't know,

01:25:16.180 cause I don't follow these guys at all,

01:25:17.600 but it appears to be tied to the death of his dad and,

01:25:21.900 uh,

01:25:22.280 him making it kind of on his own and in a different way.

01:25:26.240 Is that accurate at all?

01:25:28.240 Yeah,

01:25:28.660 I think it's accurate.

01:25:29.660 Look,

01:25:30.080 and Glenn,

01:25:30.540 I'm glad you started out by letting me establish.

01:25:33.500 I'm a huge Tiger Woods fan.

01:25:36.340 Right.

01:25:36.600 But I'm going to be honest,

01:25:39.280 you know,

01:25:40.100 when I look at Tiger's life,

01:25:42.240 I say,

01:25:43.140 wow,

01:25:43.380 he was really super prepared for golf.

01:25:47.600 And nothing else.

01:25:48.220 I'm not sure if he was super prepared for anything else.

01:25:50.840 Yeah.

01:25:51.680 And that kind of fame and fortune too,

01:25:54.360 is also,

01:25:55.120 uh,

01:25:56.100 really bad,

01:25:56.600 especially if you lose the anchor of,

01:25:59.020 of that's been guiding you the whole time,

01:26:01.360 that steady hand.

01:26:02.500 So do we know there was,

01:26:04.660 there were no drugs or alcohol involved in this accident.

01:26:07.680 Do we know if he was asleep at the wheel?

01:26:10.040 How did this happen?

01:26:11.520 And what happened?

01:26:12.180 I think,

01:26:12.620 I think we know based on the police that there was no alcohol.

01:26:17.260 Involved.

01:26:18.340 Uh,

01:26:19.060 Tiger recently had another back surgery.

01:26:22.780 And so,

01:26:24.020 and we,

01:26:24.660 you know,

01:26:25.060 it's been part of his history to,

01:26:27.500 uh,

01:26:28.860 take painkillers because he's had so many different surgeries and he's,

01:26:32.680 he struggled with that problem.

01:26:34.660 I'm not sure if we'll ever know what was in his system at the time of this

01:26:40.760 accident.

01:26:41.180 Maybe they took his blood and we'll examine it.

01:26:44.160 Maybe they won't.

01:26:45.220 I mean,

01:26:45.380 tiger is a huge brand for Nike and I'm sure,

01:26:49.600 uh,

01:26:50.740 they're going to try to protect his privacy as much as they can.

01:26:54.800 And if they were prescription drugs and he wasn't abusing them,

01:26:57.680 I mean,

01:26:58.420 you know,

01:26:58.880 you take,

01:27:00.100 you take some of these drugs for pain.

01:27:02.060 Now at night,

01:27:03.100 this happened at seven o'clock in the morning,

01:27:04.780 you're groggy still at seven o'clock in the morning.

01:27:07.540 I mean,

01:27:07.980 you could easily fall back to sleep and,

01:27:10.220 and not because of the drug,

01:27:11.740 but because of the after effects of the drug.

01:27:14.620 Here's what I'll say,

01:27:15.960 Glenn.

01:27:16.520 And I'm a huge tiger woods fan.

01:27:19.220 I mean,

01:27:19.660 tiger woods can make me cry.

01:27:22.960 Uh,

01:27:23.640 but what,

01:27:24.660 what I would say is where I would somewhat disagree with you is like,

01:27:28.920 if I'm taking prescription drugs and I'm worth a half billion dollars or more,

01:27:36.080 I have a driver.

01:27:37.660 Yes.

01:27:38.140 True.

01:27:38.440 I,

01:27:38.640 I,

01:27:39.060 I take that precaution of like,

01:27:41.520 Hey,

01:27:41.640 because of my injuries,

01:27:42.720 because of my surgery,

01:27:43.940 I take these prescription drugs.

01:27:47.140 Maybe it's best for me not to drive.

01:27:49.920 I I'm not worth nearly the money that tiger woods is,

01:27:54.380 but I basically gave up driving four years ago.

01:27:59.020 I take Uber.

01:28:01.080 I went three straight years without ever getting behind my car.

01:28:04.360 I moved to Nashville,

01:28:06.180 drove,

01:28:06.840 you know,

01:28:07.260 here,

01:28:07.680 drove my car here and did some driving.

01:28:09.920 And now I haven't driven for three months.

01:28:12.560 I don't think.

01:28:14.120 And,

01:28:14.240 and why is that?

01:28:15.800 Cause of all the drugs you're taking?

01:28:17.860 I,

01:28:18.040 no,

01:28:18.580 no,

01:28:19.100 no.

01:28:19.920 No,

01:28:20.340 it's literally,

01:28:21.340 it started in LA just cause I wanted to walk more and I wanted,

01:28:26.100 you know,

01:28:26.460 I had a real,

01:28:27.180 I'll the drug of my drug of choice is like potato chips and payday candy bars.

01:28:34.340 And I had a really bad habit of eating those while driving in a car.

01:28:40.280 And so I just wanted to give all that up and walk more.

01:28:43.960 And just,

01:28:44.480 I just felt like I had bad habits driving a car that I don't have,

01:28:49.020 you know,

01:28:49.240 Uber,

01:28:49.580 they don't want you to eat or drink in there.

01:28:51.760 And just,

01:28:52.660 I just,

01:28:53.280 I just don't like driving that much.

01:28:55.760 And in like in 2002,

01:28:57.860 I was,

01:28:59.140 I was doing radio.

01:29:00.240 I was writing for the newspaper.

01:29:01.660 I was doing TV and I fell asleep at the wheel of my car.

01:29:06.300 And a friend of mine was a passenger in the car and he was a dad and we were going to some press conference and I was overworked.

01:29:14.360 I was doing morning radio and I fell asleep at the car just very briefly,

01:29:18.640 maybe five,

01:29:19.640 10 seconds woke up and,

01:29:22.640 you know,

01:29:23.360 saved us or,

01:29:24.760 you know,

01:29:25.120 got control of the car and blah,

01:29:27.360 blah,

01:29:27.520 blah.

01:29:27.700 But that kind of changed my point of view on driving.

01:29:30.740 I,

01:29:31.640 I,

01:29:31.740 I,

01:29:32.220 you know,

01:29:33.000 fell out of love with driving.

01:29:34.860 I just,

01:29:35.460 just not a responsibility.

01:29:36.520 I,

01:29:36.960 I want to take.

01:29:38.120 So what is the,

01:29:39.760 what have you heard about the surgery?

01:29:41.460 And I know they put a rod in is,

01:29:43.980 is he going to walk again?

01:29:46.240 And do you have any idea on the,

01:29:49.280 based on what happened in sports?

01:29:52.520 Do you come back and play golf?

01:29:55.080 I don't think he comes back.

01:29:57.420 I mean,

01:29:57.880 this total speculation on my part,

01:29:59.740 I think the guys had like five back surgeries and was just recovering from one just now.

01:30:05.820 So I would imagine his back won't allow him to compete at the highest level.

01:30:12.480 I think that his ankle getting crushed and,

01:30:15.500 you know,

01:30:16.180 having to be rebuilt,

01:30:17.220 they said they put a rod in his leg.

01:30:19.900 I can't imagine,

01:30:21.300 let's say the recovery is a year or two,

01:30:25.740 you know,

01:30:26.060 tiger will be 47 at that time.

01:30:29.140 47.

01:30:30.340 When did that happen?

01:30:32.020 Yeah,

01:30:32.460 he's 45 now.

01:30:33.480 So I just can't see him competing at the level that he wants to compete at,

01:30:38.820 which is at the highest level.

01:30:40.680 And so I think,

01:30:42.660 you know,

01:30:43.400 if I were guessing,

01:30:44.260 you know,

01:30:44.980 his career is over.

01:30:47.320 That's a huge blow.

01:30:49.180 Yeah,

01:30:49.740 that that's,

01:30:50.620 well,

01:30:50.980 even at tiger,

01:30:52.900 you know,

01:30:53.480 half of his powers,

01:30:54.980 he's still the most compelling television,

01:30:57.940 maybe in sports,

01:30:59.240 but certainly in the world of golf,

01:31:01.300 you know,

01:31:02.680 he's the only thing that would,

01:31:04.780 you know,

01:31:05.520 he trumps everything for me.

01:31:07.020 Football is my favorite sport,

01:31:08.420 but if tiger were in contention at a major or hell,

01:31:12.380 maybe just any golf tournament,

01:31:13.920 I'd watch tiger over football.

01:31:16.820 And I think a lot of people were that way.

01:31:18.800 Cause we thought we were witnessing history and even with tiger's personal

01:31:23.100 problems,

01:31:23.740 I think most people just kind of like tiger.

01:31:26.480 Yeah.

01:31:27.500 And,

01:31:27.900 and just,

01:31:28.560 he's hard not to like,

01:31:30.000 I mean,

01:31:30.560 I went through a period where,

01:31:31.740 I mean,

01:31:31.960 again,

01:31:32.200 I don't follow this stuff,

01:31:33.100 but you know,

01:31:34.120 the,

01:31:34.440 the golf club and the car and the wife was a really horrible scene.

01:31:37.920 Um,

01:31:38.640 but it's hard not to like him.

01:31:41.460 Yeah.

01:31:41.940 I think that again,

01:31:44.160 I good looking guy.

01:31:46.040 I think people can relate to his,

01:31:49.940 he was competing in a sport where no one that looked like him had ever had that

01:31:55.220 kind of success.

01:31:56.400 And I think everybody in America love what tiger success in golf represented

01:32:04.020 and said about America.

01:32:05.620 And you know,

01:32:07.840 he didn't take big,

01:32:09.300 huge political positions.

01:32:11.200 And so everybody could kind of wrap their arms around tiger woods.

01:32:15.220 And we did.

01:32:16.500 And you know,

01:32:17.260 that's,

01:32:18.340 I have.

01:32:19.200 Well,

01:32:19.420 maybe you did.

01:32:20.340 Maybe you did because you're, 0.99

01:32:21.780 you're black, 0.99

01:32:22.460 but all of the white people in America, 1.00

01:32:24.220 of course are racist. 1.00

01:32:25.540 And,

01:32:26.120 uh,

01:32:26.420 we secretly hated him.

01:32:30.180 Somehow all of you that hated tiger never went to the golf course.

01:32:34.380 Cause he was playing that because it would be a sea of white humanity. 0.97

01:32:38.800 Yeah.

01:32:39.940 Uh,

01:32:40.460 cheering this guy on and celebrating every moment.

01:32:43.460 And so,

01:32:45.100 you know,

01:32:45.640 let me,

01:32:46.440 let me ask you one more question on this.

01:32:48.380 Do you know enough about tiger woods,

01:32:51.980 uh,

01:32:52.960 to know how a guy who was built from the beginning of his childhood to compete and

01:33:00.880 to play golf and to,

01:33:02.800 and then become such an icon at 47 years old,

01:33:09.320 45 years old,

01:33:10.140 just to kind of not be able to do that anymore,

01:33:13.520 not command that spotlight for his athletic abilities.

01:33:18.600 How is that going to affect him mentally?

01:33:21.200 Do you have any idea?

01:33:22.120 I think he's been prepared for that over the last few years because he's had so

01:33:28.860 many injuries and missed large chunks of time,

01:33:32.600 a year off year and a half off for this injury or that injury.

01:33:36.900 I think that tiger has authentically transitioned into being really into his

01:33:43.980 kids.

01:33:44.540 And I think you would think he's sitting in a hospital bed,

01:33:49.360 like,

01:33:49.780 Oh my God,

01:33:50.980 if I can just walk again and play with my kids and help my son with his golf

01:33:55.200 game and my daughter with her golf game,

01:33:57.300 that will be fulfilling enough for tiger.

01:34:01.620 I want to add one thing,

01:34:03.740 Glenn,

01:34:03.980 before we transition to something else.

01:34:05.740 But the other thought I've had about tiger and this,

01:34:09.180 just the way the last 10 years of his life has gone,

01:34:12.320 it's kind of starting to remind me of like Michael Jackson.

01:34:15.580 Michael Jackson was a big part of my childhood and memories.

01:34:19.180 And I was just big Michael Jackson,

01:34:21.180 Jackson five fan.

01:34:22.340 And then he got involved in controversies and,

01:34:26.120 uh,

01:34:27.300 identity issues and skin,

01:34:29.800 you know,

01:34:30.460 all of that children.

01:34:33.060 Yeah.

01:34:33.680 Yeah.

01:34:33.900 And I just,

01:34:35.020 it's like my memories of Michael are blurred.

01:34:38.380 I remember him as much for the tragedies and controversies,

01:34:42.320 as I do for his singing career.

01:34:45.080 And,

01:34:45.720 and I just think Michael's weirdness or whatever it was that was going on with

01:34:51.040 Michael.

01:34:51.880 I just,

01:34:52.740 he was a prodigy like tiger who's dad drove him.

01:34:57.580 Correct.

01:34:57.940 Who's dad,

01:34:58.840 you know,

01:34:59.500 made him music,

01:35:01.100 music,

01:35:01.540 and you're going to be,

01:35:02.440 and,

01:35:03.000 and I just,

01:35:04.600 it makes me like,

01:35:05.660 wow,

01:35:06.160 as much as I love tiger and what he was accomplished,

01:35:10.140 I don't think I would want his life.

01:35:12.060 And as much as I love Michael Jackson's music,

01:35:14.480 I certainly wouldn't want his life.

01:35:16.440 Yeah.

01:35:16.680 I wouldn't want to be a prodigy.

01:35:19.060 Well,

01:35:19.360 you get all the Jesus juice you want if you were Michael Jackson,

01:35:21.940 but I,

01:35:22.720 you know what?

01:35:23.020 I think you're exactly right.

01:35:24.500 And I think that's why people are paid so much money in the end is you give

01:35:31.640 up an awful lot.

01:35:33.620 I mean,

01:35:33.840 it's one thing to be a star,

01:35:35.720 especially at their level.

01:35:37.640 Um,

01:35:38.360 but if you were at their level from childhood,

01:35:41.460 you,

01:35:42.480 you do not have a normal life at all.

01:35:46.380 And,

01:35:47.240 uh,

01:35:47.700 you kind of demanded in a,

01:35:50.100 you know,

01:35:50.600 pound of flesh or,

01:35:51.620 you know,

01:35:52.020 a pound of gold,

01:35:53.240 uh,

01:35:54.260 but it doesn't buy back all the things that you lost.

01:35:56.940 Uh,

01:35:57.340 we're going to continue with Jason Whitlock here in just a second.

01:36:00.280 Let me take,

01:36:00.820 uh,

01:36:01.180 60 seconds and tell you about our,

01:36:03.480 uh,

01:36:04.220 uh,

01:36:04.420 sponsor Patriot mobile.

01:36:06.660 I want to tell you right now,

01:36:08.740 Patriot mobile is doing something amazing.

01:36:10.760 They're doing a match right now for any funds that are coming in to

01:36:16.320 mercury one for the Texas,

01:36:19.180 uh,

01:36:19.720 people who have lost their home.

01:36:21.780 Uh,

01:36:22.700 you know,

01:36:23.000 or have really bad problems.

01:36:25.140 It's a bad scene in some parts of,

01:36:27.240 of Texas.

01:36:28.660 Stu,

01:36:29.660 uh,

01:36:30.220 you're living in your home,

01:36:31.500 but it's a nightmare.

01:36:33.160 Yeah.

01:36:33.680 Uh,

01:36:33.960 it's all,

01:36:34.460 you know,

01:36:34.640 we had a pipe burst water through most of the floor.

01:36:37.740 All the floors are buckling now.

01:36:39.340 I mean,

01:36:39.500 it's a disaster and none of this money would go to anybody like Stu,

01:36:42.480 but,

01:36:42.660 uh,

01:36:43.140 there are,

01:36:43.520 there are people that are really suffering,

01:36:46.060 uh,

01:36:46.680 and really need help right now.

01:36:48.800 Uh,

01:36:48.880 Patriot mobile has,

01:36:50.620 because this is the kind of people they are,

01:36:52.580 they are helping,

01:37:48.920 All right.

01:37:56.700 Jason Whitlock is with us.

01:37:59.260 Matt Walsh,

01:38:00.400 uh,

01:38:00.900 just,

01:38:01.360 uh,

01:38:01.560 tweeted something out the other day,

01:38:02.940 uh,

01:38:03.660 a survey from skeptic magazine.

01:38:05.440 It is fascinating.

01:38:06.840 Have you seen this?

01:38:07.980 Oh yeah.

01:38:08.660 This is crazy.

01:38:10.380 Uh,

01:38:10.760 the numbers of liberals and moderates that think,

01:38:13.960 uh,

01:38:14.860 how many unarmed black men were killed by cops in 2019, 0.83

01:38:18.840 a huge number.

01:38:21.400 Think it's over a hundred.

01:38:23.520 Uh,

01:38:24.140 many think the number is over a thousand or even 10,000,

01:38:28.720 seven or 8% think that it was 10,000.

01:38:32.020 Uh,

01:38:32.960 conservatives think that it's about a hundred.

01:38:35.440 That were killed.

01:38:36.840 The actual number is 13.

01:38:41.400 How do we get this screwed up?

01:38:43.820 Jason,

01:38:44.540 uh,

01:38:45.960 disinformation,

01:38:48.560 misinformation,

01:38:49.220 all the stuff that the left keeps accusing Trump supporters and QAnon people are participating in.

01:38:58.480 And that's what has so upset me about the reaction to the January six,

01:39:04.080 uh,

01:39:05.020 problems.

01:39:05.660 I will refuse to call it an insurrection problems at the Capitol.

01:39:10.280 The response and who's to blame and what's the bad information that created this and all of the bad information that created the summer of 2020.

01:39:20.860 And a lot of what we've seen over the last decade,

01:39:24.360 as it relates to police engagement,

01:39:27.260 involvement with African-Americans,

01:39:29.580 black people has been fueled by horrible misinformation driven over Twitter. 0.97

01:39:37.260 Twitter. 0.92

01:39:38.660 And they're putting all these,

01:39:40.900 Oh,

01:39:41.540 uh,

01:39:42.340 this claim hasn't been proven.

01:39:45.620 They're fact checking tweets.

01:39:47.200 That are meaningless tweets.

01:39:50.260 But if you,

01:39:51.440 if someone gets it,

01:39:52.320 LeBron James goes on Twitter and says,

01:39:54.640 we're getting hunted every day.

01:39:56.440 Every time we step out of our house,

01:39:58.460 uh, 1.00

01:39:59.080 the police or white people are just out to kill us. 0.99

01:40:02.080 No one puts a fact check.

01:40:04.040 LeBron James has 40 million Twitter followers and he's fear mongering and spreading disinformation that directly led to writing,

01:40:15.520 looting,

01:40:16.920 burning the buildings,

01:40:18.400 assassinations of police officers the entire summer.

01:40:22.740 We watched it all live on TV and no one wants to call this disinformation out.

01:40:29.620 And it's the major disinformation that's driving a lot of the upheaval and dissension and divisiveness in our country.

01:40:38.960 But let's don't talk about it.

01:40:41.080 There's a committee in Congress that just sent a letter to all of the cable providers.

01:40:45.180 And then,

01:40:45.900 uh,

01:40:46.700 Amazon,

01:40:47.480 Google,

01:40:48.180 Facebook,

01:40:48.520 uh,

01:40:49.540 asking,

01:40:50.200 why are you carrying these,

01:40:52.440 uh,

01:40:53.040 centers of disinformation?

01:40:55.020 Fox news is on the top of the list.

01:40:57.300 Uh,

01:40:57.940 and what are you going to do about it?

01:40:59.980 Because if you don't,

01:41:01.060 we may have to do something about it.

01:41:03.100 A clear threat to anyone who is doing business with those,

01:41:08.920 uh,

01:41:09.380 corporations.

01:41:10.000 And you and I have talked about this many,

01:41:13.360 many times.

01:41:14.360 They're coming for voices that disagree.

01:41:18.500 Yeah.

01:41:19.220 We,

01:41:20.220 people that want to talk facts and people that want to talk truth or whatever are under attack.

01:41:29.940 We're clearly being silenced and that they're,

01:41:34.900 you know,

01:41:35.160 Tucker Carlson had a tremendous monologue last night that it's all a distraction by major corporations.

01:41:43.820 And,

01:41:44.900 and the business elite class in America that doesn't want people discussing the unfairness of our economic system and a game that has been rigged against the working man.

01:41:57.380 Let's make everybody hate each other along identity issues and race issues and talk about that and not address any of the economic issues that are really impacting working class Americans.

01:42:12.600 I,

01:42:13.140 it was a brilliant commentary last night.

01:42:15.360 It's exactly what I believe has been going on.

01:42:19.300 white people and black people and Hispanic people and people Americans have so much in common.

01:42:28.380 I know.

01:42:29.380 And there's like an organized effort for people for,

01:42:34.240 by corporate media to make us think we have nothing in common and we're mortal enemies.

01:42:40.400 And it's just a joke.

01:42:41.940 Jason,

01:42:42.360 those of us that are Christians,

01:42:43.780 we just have to come together on those beliefs.

01:42:47.300 Jason Whitlock.

01:42:48.540 Thank you for being a part of the program and what he was just talking about.

01:43:11.000 You know,

01:43:11.760 uh,

01:43:11.940 yesterday I was reading,

01:43:13.200 uh,

01:43:13.580 up on the effects of reverse psychology.

01:43:15.980 And on a completely unrelated note,

01:43:19.200 you should not take a few minutes out of your busy day today to learn about American financing.

01:43:24.680 Uh,

01:43:25.080 you should not learn about all the ways that they can save you money,

01:43:28.240 like refinancing your mortgage.

01:43:29.840 So you get a lower rate consolidating your debt by rolling everything together,

01:43:33.980 including the pesky high interest,

01:43:36.340 uh,

01:43:36.620 credit cards into one single and very easy and much lower payment.

01:43:41.140 Whatever you do for the,

01:43:43.220 for the love of all that is good and holy,

01:43:45.020 don't let American financing work for you.

01:43:48.380 Now,

01:43:55.380 whatever anybody said,

01:43:56.260 don't do this.

01:43:57.760 He would do,

01:43:59.360 uh,

01:44:00.000 I don't know.

01:44:33.780 Green activism has been around for decades,

01:44:36.600 but what is different is not just the holy anointing of science.

01:44:43.080 When it's not really science,

01:44:45.460 what has changed about this whole relentless preaching on climate change is its deep penetration now into government and business.

01:44:54.660 It is no longer just a turtleneck sweater bearded tree huggers who strangely were all women shouting from the mountaintops.

01:45:04.260 It's now the most powerful business suit elites forcing this message on the masses spearheaded by the world economic forum.

01:45:14.060 The great reset has a new oligarchy of billionaires united now with governments and corporations to market socialism as the ultimate solution to apocalypse.

01:45:24.660 It is imperative that you know what this is just follow the science follow the instructions of your overlords,

01:45:40.020 but don't worry.

01:45:42.180 They only want to overhaul every single aspect of your life because we have to survive is planet Earth.

01:46:05.600 Let me go to Brian in Alabama.

01:46:07.280 Hello, Brian.

01:46:09.280 Good morning, Glenn.

01:46:10.580 How are you, sir?

01:46:12.280 I'm fine.

01:46:12.940 Thank you.

01:46:13.500 First, God bless you and all that you do.

01:46:15.500 Thank you.

01:46:15.920 I work in the transportation field, and I get a daily email publication, the AMM, the American Metal Markets.

01:46:25.060 An article in last year's one of the AMM publications was comparing electric vehicle batteries to the combustion engine,

01:46:34.560 and there were obvious comparisons such as charging time, et cetera.

01:46:38.140 But the one that stood out the most to me, and this is a quote,

01:46:41.140 The battery's energy density has a long way to go.

01:46:45.400 A lithium-ion battery yields approximately 200 watt-hours per kilogram versus roughly 12,000 watt-hours per kilogram of gasoline.

01:46:57.100 Wow.

01:46:58.320 200 compared to 12,000?

01:47:01.240 Yes, sir.

01:47:01.980 Wow.

01:47:02.400 Wow.

01:47:03.700 Wow.

01:47:04.820 We are, I mean, someday we'll be there with batteries, but we're not there yet.

01:47:09.720 And I know, I mean, I have, I have a green house, and I have two batteries, we're off the grid,

01:47:19.700 I have two batteries that are, what is that, Stu?

01:47:23.580 That's about four feet high.

01:47:25.120 It's about a four-foot cube.

01:47:27.560 I have two of them, and it'll last, it'll hold sunshine for, hmm, two days.

01:47:35.480 And in those two days, if we have five days of no sun, in those two days, we have to stop using things.

01:47:43.620 Turn off the lights, you know, only use the light or the thing that you really need because of the refrigeration and everything else.

01:47:51.120 I mean, we are a long, long way from storing the energy.

01:47:57.600 And when it comes to wind power, you can't store the energy.

01:48:02.120 When the wind stops, the power stops.

01:48:05.240 With solar, when the light stops, the power stops.

01:48:10.680 Let me go to Shelly in, is it Missouri or Michigan?

01:48:16.460 It's Michigan.

01:48:17.340 Hi, how are you, Shelly?

01:48:18.980 I'm good.

01:48:19.620 How are you?

01:48:20.180 Good.

01:48:20.500 First of all, I just want to let you know that we pray for you constantly, and we just love your show.

01:48:25.980 Even when we don't agree, we know it's because it's the truth.

01:48:28.620 Thank you. 0.86

01:48:29.020 But what I called you about was, there is an episode of The Orville, and I think it's one of the dumbest shows ever.

01:48:35.660 I kind of like it.

01:48:38.200 So have you seen the one called Majority Rules?

01:48:42.960 I'm not sure.

01:48:43.940 It's where they land on a planet, and the guy does something offensive to one of their statues or history, something to do with history or a god or something, and he's going to go to jail.

01:48:57.840 And the way that they keep him out of jail is that everybody votes.

01:49:01.660 It's basically an electronic thumbs up, thumbs down.

01:49:05.340 Wow.

01:49:06.040 So it's like cancel culture.

01:49:09.020 Mm-hmm.

01:49:09.680 Yep, exactly.

01:49:10.540 It's a very good example of that. 0.93

01:49:12.400 If you ever want to explain it to somebody that doesn't get it, it's a dumb show, but it's a very good way to show them. 0.51

01:49:19.860 And throughout the thing, they said, it doesn't matter if you did it or if you didn't do it.

01:49:23.960 What you have to do is get everybody's sympathy and get everybody to like you.

01:49:27.780 Wow.

01:49:28.860 Thank you, Shelly.

01:49:29.620 I appreciate it.

01:49:30.400 I mean, there's so many shows.

01:49:31.480 It's like Hollywood doesn't even read their own scripts.

01:49:34.280 There's so many shows and so many things you're like, ah, that's you.

01:49:37.320 Hello.

01:49:37.740 That's what you're doing right now.

01:49:39.540 Ken in North Carolina.

01:49:42.400 Hey, Glenn.

01:49:43.240 Thank God for you and Bill O'Reilly.

01:49:45.160 Thank you.

01:49:46.560 My question is, out of all of these, with all of this cancel culture and all of these Twitters and Amazons and banks especially,

01:49:55.500 why is there not an insurgence of conservative alternatives to any of those?

01:50:02.400 Do you want the real answer or do you want, you know, an answer that everyone, okay, so here's the, here's the real answer.

01:50:11.320 What, two weeks ago, a media service, I don't remember, I had never even heard of it, went up, it, it maybe, I think it, it had a subscription, subscription service, but it was small.

01:50:30.080 And it sold for a quarter of a billion dollars, quarter of a billion dollars.

01:50:38.000 And it was, it wasn't, it was nowhere near the size of a fraction of the, of the blaze, which is now the largest subscription service in the world.

01:50:50.760 We are easily, easily worth more than that, easily.

01:50:59.080 There's no buyer for it.

01:51:01.940 So you can't get the investors to invest big money, to develop tech, to, I mean, if we, if we were something that was worth a billion dollars,

01:51:14.780 you would have investors that would want a part of that, and you could use that money to be able to develop new technology.

01:51:24.260 I can't tell you how much new technology I have wanted to develop and haven't been able to because nobody's doing it for free.

01:51:34.840 Nobody wants to work with a conservative.

01:51:37.040 And I've watched them develop things that, you know, we were way ahead on in Silicon Valley because they have the money and the investors.

01:51:47.040 Conservatives always, and this is something that is good, I think, we look for investments that pay off.

01:51:57.000 We're, we're looking for things.

01:51:58.400 I want to invest my money.

01:51:59.820 I don't want to just throw my money away.

01:52:02.080 Show me how this is going to work.

01:52:03.800 Show me how this is going to affect and show me how I get out of this and I have more money.

01:52:09.480 Liberals don't necessarily do that.

01:52:12.380 They look for impact and they take some of their money.

01:52:17.740 And I'm talking about the very wealthy people.

01:52:19.560 They take their money and they're not looking to pull it back out.

01:52:25.240 They're looking to make an impact on culture.

01:52:28.760 We never believed the culture was worth fighting for.

01:52:32.960 It is.

01:52:34.360 We've lost it.

01:52:36.340 And you can't with the way things are being herded now.

01:52:42.980 Remember, Congress just issued a letter to not just the cable and satellite companies, but also all of the cloud storage, all of the ISPs, anybody like Facebook or anybody that does any service.

01:52:58.620 Are you planning on continuing doing work with them after your contracts expire?

01:53:12.720 This is a quote.

01:53:14.000 If so, why?

01:53:17.140 So now we have the double whammy.

01:53:19.500 They're being told that they're going to be investigated.

01:53:24.340 I think they don't have a problem shutting people like us off.

01:53:27.720 So we don't have the ISPs.

01:53:30.960 We don't have the things because everybody in the world works together on that.

01:53:37.320 We're getting to the point where you'd have to lay your own fiber.

01:53:40.520 However, this is why we don't have the options.

01:53:46.060 A, the big money never steps up on the conservative side.

01:53:51.000 Second, you're now making it impossible and people are going to be expected to do things that you couldn't accomplish in 10 years.

01:54:05.100 But also people are now afraid.

01:54:07.200 If I do business with that, will my bank start canceling services on me?

01:54:12.400 I hope that makes sense.

01:54:19.320 It is one reason why we have said your subscription is so important.

01:54:24.440 I built this in 2010.

01:54:27.700 We started talking about it.

01:54:28.880 I think we debuted in 2011.

01:54:32.300 And it was for these times.

01:54:34.640 And we built it.

01:54:35.680 One of the reasons why we got off of cable is because it was heroin.

01:54:40.060 They were paying us lots of money to be on, but it was heroin.

01:54:46.240 We were growing dependent on it.

01:54:49.580 That's the worst thing that could happen to us.

01:54:52.740 We wanted to be independent and stand on our own.

01:54:56.480 And we also saw that the future was not there.

01:54:58.680 It is online.

01:54:59.880 So we dedicated everything to online for this time.

01:55:05.300 And the thing that we did was we still take sponsors, but we want to be living in a world where we don't need the sponsors.

01:55:15.600 We don't need any of that to be able to continue.

01:55:19.160 All we need is a connection to you.

01:55:21.760 You are the one that will keep us going because the FCC is silent.

01:55:29.700 Did you hear this?

01:55:31.200 The FCC, the new FCC chair, has remained silent on the silencing and the threats coming to cable and other industries.

01:55:43.700 No comment on that.

01:55:45.740 Really?

01:55:46.740 No comment on that?

01:55:48.520 Kind of interesting.

01:55:52.300 Please subscribe to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:55:56.080 This is the last week of our 30% off.

01:55:59.280 You know, you got to make some money.

01:56:00.820 Make sure you do it now this week and watch the show tonight at 9 p.m.

01:56:06.680 And maybe tune in an hour earlier at 8 p.m. for Sue Does America. 1.00

01:56:10.240 I think we run cartoons.

01:56:11.260 I think we might be talking a little bit about Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment allegation tonight.

01:56:15.080 It's interesting that that's been going on now.

01:56:19.040 Media completely ignoring it.

01:56:21.600 They haven't talked about it really at all.

01:56:24.460 And now the woman who worked very closely with Andrew Cuomo, as she would tell it too closely, has now come out with an even more detailed story.

01:56:34.560 Really?

01:56:35.200 About this.

01:56:35.580 I don't know how much longer they can ignore this.

01:56:37.560 You know, we.

01:56:38.540 Oh, they can ignore this forever.

01:56:39.880 I don't know.

01:56:40.300 I think the tide might be turning on this guy.

01:56:42.000 I don't know.

01:56:42.300 I keep thinking to myself.

01:56:43.240 I'm not allowed to have nice things.

01:56:45.160 Yeah.

01:56:45.440 So I don't know.

01:56:46.120 Maybe I'm talking myself into this.

01:56:48.100 But the media narrative has changed on him.

01:56:50.660 His approval rating is going through the floor.

01:56:53.120 Isn't it interesting?

01:56:54.080 He deserves to be held accountable for all the things he's done.

01:56:56.100 But I don't know how the media can ignore a serious allegation from multiple women. 0.98

01:57:00.640 But one in particular with real close contact to him.

01:57:03.780 It's a.

01:57:05.320 Bada bing. 0.82

01:57:06.480 Too close again.

01:57:07.620 It's interesting to me that the two guys that were held out as heroes of this COVID nightmare 0.50

01:57:14.660 are both going down in flames where DeSantis, who was held up as a villain, is doing so incredibly

01:57:24.720 well.

01:57:27.160 Should mention Andrew Cuomo is awful dot com.

01:57:31.440 Thank you for that.

01:57:32.600 Right now we're facing the largest printing of money since 1946 and we haven't started really

01:57:40.940 the year.

01:57:42.280 Last year it was 26 percent more printing than any other year since 1940.

01:57:52.920 40 was at 44, 45 when before I think it was 44 when we were at the end of the war with

01:58:00.140 the Manhattan Project and everything else.

01:58:02.580 That is a scary number when velocity starts to hit.

01:58:08.260 If people start spending money, prices of everything are going to go through the roof.

01:58:12.560 Your dollar is going to lose its value.

01:58:15.580 I don't want to abandon the dollar, but I will tell you it's like rats jumping off a ship

01:58:22.600 soon.

01:58:23.600 May I suggest you trade some of your dollars for gold?

01:58:27.680 It's easy.

01:58:28.700 Protect your retirement portfolio today before it's too late.

01:58:31.980 Call Goldline.

01:58:33.400 Find out why allocating just 20 percent of your retirement portfolio in precious metals is

01:58:38.540 prudent and a wise investment.

01:58:41.240 Nobody is saying, you know, you put your entire portfolio in gold or silver or whatever.

01:58:45.300 That's crazy.

01:58:46.780 However, having 10, 20 percent in precious metals, physical gold, when the dollar starts

01:58:54.880 to go unstable, you bet.

01:58:57.080 Right now, Goldline is offering 6 percent promotional metals delivered directly to you with a qualifying

01:59:01.520 purchase of your self-directed IRA, 401k or other retirement accounts.

01:59:05.940 So don't wait.

01:59:06.880 They're standing by to take your call right now.

01:59:08.960 Call them 866-GOLDLINE.

01:59:10.840 866-GOLDLINE.

01:59:12.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:59:16.160 There's a new book out called Lucky.

01:59:19.920 How Joe Biden barely won.

01:59:23.900 Is that how Joe Biden barely won the presidency?

01:59:26.660 Yeah.

01:59:27.140 Yeah.

01:59:27.400 It is.

01:59:27.740 How dare them say that?

01:59:29.480 How dare they?

01:59:30.580 Now, this is a quote from our old friend from the good old days, Anita Dunn.

01:59:36.260 Oh, my gosh.

01:59:37.180 Anita Dunn.

01:59:37.580 If you remember her.

01:59:38.440 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:59:39.060 She was a lizard lady that had the dry tongue. 1.00

01:59:41.860 It was talking about mouth.

01:59:43.340 One of her favorite speeches.

01:59:44.360 She had a very dry tongue.

01:59:45.940 Very dry mouth.

01:59:46.900 I'll always remember that.

01:59:47.800 But she said she made a comment to an associate.

01:59:52.320 The quote is COVID is the best thing that ever happened to him, meaning Joe Biden.

01:59:59.100 And obviously, I think as an observer, any astute observer might note that that's pretty obvious.

02:00:07.700 Yeah.

02:00:07.800 The economy.

02:00:08.720 Because the economy collapsed.

02:00:09.980 And also, it allowed Joe Biden to stay in the basement and not have to stand in front of people.

02:00:15.320 It really did work out incredibly well for Biden.

02:00:18.260 He could actually be proud of six people standing there listening to him.

02:00:22.460 They made those small crowds into something that, you know, was a badge of honor.

02:00:28.100 Look, we are social distancing.

02:00:30.640 We have everybody 50 feet away.

02:00:33.440 And the next one, we're going to have our 50 people in 50 different states.

02:00:38.100 And it's crazy.

02:00:41.520 All right.

02:00:43.140 We'll see you tonight for the Stu Show at 8 p.m. Eastern and my broadcast of Wednesday night special 9 on Blaze.

02:00:49.980 This is the Glenn Beck program.
