Summary
A shortage of antibiotics has caused a panic in the medical community, and we're here to talk about it. Plus, we talk about the new movie, The Menu, and the new book, The Other Guy. And we have a special guest on this week's pod.
Transcript
00:00:02.160
We have this Scottish historian on who is, like, really, truly one of the best historians in the world.
00:00:10.640
And he's been speaking out against, you know, COVID, the lockdown, and everything that's going on.
00:00:17.560
They are now not locking you down and not telling you that you can't drive your car and drive, you know, into town if you want to do something.
00:00:33.160
They're just telling you that you shouldn't, and there's penalties for doing it.
00:00:41.860
And they're using all of the technology that Scotland put in to track COVID.
00:00:55.120
And this is all part of the, you know, the grand cities of tomorrow from the World Economic Forum.
00:01:04.880
I wish there was someone around to warn us about that when it was going on.
00:01:13.200
By the way, the sequel to the book, The Great Reset, is coming soon.
00:01:17.800
If you haven't read The Great Reset yet, read it or reread it, because the sequel is even more of a roller coaster.
00:01:37.200
Is this book more of a godfather 2 or a hangover 2?
00:01:44.400
You'll find a horse head at some point in your bed.
00:01:48.180
Anyway, the American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists, the group that tracks the production of medications around the world, has declared worldwide shortage of antibiotics, specifically amoxicillin.
00:01:58.680
This podcast is brought to you by Jace Medical.
00:02:02.260
Jace Medical has made something called the Jace Case, and it's a great way to keep yourself prepared for the absolute worst.
00:02:07.700
It is a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses, things like UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, and a lot more.
00:02:23.900
Darla wrote in and said, my child developed an infection while we were on vacation.
00:02:29.720
I started her up on antibiotics, and the infection cleared up.
00:02:32.600
Her doctor told us later it was likely that those antibiotics from the Jace Case saved her life.
00:02:55.680
By the way, today's podcast is really phenomenal.
00:03:00.120
We actually called it War of the Worlds if it would have been broadcast 25 years ago.
00:03:04.600
People would have been in the streets if they would have believed it.
00:03:08.780
Now it's just like common sense and common everyday news.
00:03:12.760
On tomorrow's broadcast, especially if you're Catholic, but anyone of religion, there is a civil war happening in all of our churches.
00:03:22.280
But something unprecedented happened yesterday, and tomorrow we talk to an expert on Catholicism and the Vatican.
00:03:32.120
And Pope Benedict just released a book, and it was held until after his death, and it goes into the war inside the Vatican that's happening in all of our churches.
00:03:46.740
So we're going to talk about the M&M's controversy here in just a minute.
00:04:07.240
We're going to cover all the really important stuff today.
00:04:09.980
But I want to start with a couple of cultural things that I think are important.
00:04:20.460
And as a horror, black comedy, drama, it's well-written.
00:04:34.040
Absolutely worth seeing if you like this kind of thing.
00:04:36.880
But what this movie really says is really worth the price of admission.
00:04:49.440
What this movie is actually saying about the view of the American left is much more terrifying than the plot.
00:04:58.400
Now, spoiler alert, if you haven't seen it, I'm going to spoil some of it, but not all the stuff at the ending.
00:05:03.100
But it's worth spoiling some of the plot because the unwritten motive of the writers or the producers or I don't know is much more interesting than the actual movie.
00:05:22.600
One is that he spent most of his time writing late night with Seth Meyers.
00:05:33.500
And he wrote for Trevor Oliver and also for The Onion.
00:05:49.660
And I don't know what their intentions were, but to me, this movie shows the psyche of the elite and the Hollywood left.
00:06:05.840
The movie is, it starts out with this Tyler Ledford.
00:06:12.460
And he's waiting for the boat to pull up to take him to this fancy restaurant.
00:06:17.740
And he's talking down to this girl that he's with.
00:06:21.320
And he's like, don't, don't, I take food very seriously.
00:06:27.080
And he gets on the boat and he eats, you know, like an oyster.
00:06:31.680
And he's just that guy that everybody would hate.
00:06:39.420
Do you have, do you, do you have the, the oaky finish at the end of you?
00:06:46.420
So he's traveling to this exclusive restaurant by this celebrity chef on this island.
00:07:04.780
The other guests that are attending are the food critic.
00:07:10.480
She's Lillian Bloom food critic and her editor, Ted.
00:07:16.000
Then there's Richard and and, uh, there, they go there all the time.
00:07:22.320
Then there's a movie star, George and his personal assistant.
00:07:26.520
And then there's the business partners of the restaurant, three guys, kind of Silicon Valley
00:07:34.860
And then for some reason, uh, the chef's alcoholic mother is in the corner, but, um, so they get
00:07:40.760
to the island and the, the maitre d greets them at the boat says to the first guy, who's
00:07:49.780
You said you were bringing this woman and this isn't the woman you said where I know I changed
00:07:58.480
And there's some tension there and you don't understand why.
00:08:02.500
So then she goes on, she gives a tour of everything and it's very, very weird.
00:08:06.380
Then dinner begins and the chef seems to have like 30 guys behind him, you know, men and
00:08:13.760
women, you know, apprentice chefs, if you will.
00:08:25.360
Uh, so he introduces all of the courses and each course comes with a really unsettling
00:08:30.900
monologue, uh, after the third course, uncomfortable truths about each guest, uh, you know, from
00:08:37.760
embezzlement to affairs and everything else is printed on a tortilla.
00:08:42.240
Each one gets an individual tortilla and something exposing them is on that tortilla.
00:08:48.580
The fourth course comes out and the sous chef is crying and he's like, I thought I wanted
00:09:02.680
I said earlier, the spoiler alert, I'm not going to tell you the ending, but I'm just
00:09:06.640
telling you some of the things that are going on.
00:09:11.680
They cut off, you know, a guy's finger and everyone's like, what the hell?
00:09:17.600
Um, then they go into all of the ways that things are going to happen to people.
00:09:22.940
And what it is, is each guest was invited by the chef to come that night because he says
00:09:33.200
they were responsible or contributed to him losing his passion for his craft or just making
00:09:40.980
a living off of his work and the work of artisans.
00:09:49.200
So this is a very elitist chef who is talking about, you know, you are going to, you're going
00:09:59.620
And it's all very, uh, just so pretentious the entire thing, but he thinks the people
00:10:10.040
And he says, you know, nobody's going to walk out of here, uh, alive.
00:10:13.760
Now the girl that was not supposed to be there, we find out that she's a, uh, hooker.
00:10:24.300
Won't give you all the details, but it's, it's, uh, it's pretty amazing, but you kind
00:10:29.300
of get it right off the bat that she's probably, you know, a hooker.
00:10:38.640
We have a chef who lost his passion for his job, recruits a staff of perhaps 30 who in
00:10:47.300
He blames his loss of passion on those who come to his restaurant.
00:10:52.060
He blames, uh, uh, those who are in the restaurant for the loss of his restaurant during COVID because
00:11:00.140
He blames the angel investor who took control because the chef would not compromise on any
00:11:10.540
And when I say extravagant, I don't mean, Hey, you should replace, you know, the Colby steak
00:11:22.280
A massage cow is not extravagant in this restaurant.
00:11:26.320
So here's, here's why I wanted to talk to you about this in this movie, food is art, food
00:11:39.780
Meaning now I'm used to going to a movie and seeing the bad guy being, you know, a white
00:11:45.940
guy, uh, you know, some European Nazi, you know, white supremacist, an oil guy, a Trump
00:11:53.780
voter, conservative, you know, just even a Republican.
00:11:58.640
The targets and Hollywood movies usually are, you know, from the farmlands, the hapless
00:12:04.580
boob from the small town or somebody who doesn't understand Los Angeles or doesn't wear black
00:12:12.780
But here, the nihilist protagonist is himself a disgruntled elite.
00:12:30.620
And he finds abhorrent, not the people in the heartland.
00:12:36.220
He finds abhorrent the people in his own class.
00:12:42.820
So if you look at the list, you have a member of the critic class.
00:12:47.860
This person just lives to set the rule and tastes for everybody else.
00:12:52.120
The character is really very much the real life.
00:12:55.560
Remember the movie devil wears Prada, the real monster and a winter.
00:12:59.160
This person is so caught up in their own world of their own making that everything not uttered
00:13:09.700
This, this dialogue between these two characters, her and his, her assistant sounds like any broadcast
00:13:20.220
It reads like the New York times editorial board.
00:13:23.540
It's the conversations, you know, you would hear from professors who have convinced themselves
00:13:31.880
It sounds like the world economic forum or the Washington post or New York times editorial.
00:13:45.360
The yes man is the sycophant that stays by her side.
00:13:51.040
He's not yet ordained, but he's so pathetically wants to be a part of that elite in that world.
00:14:02.680
He doesn't realize everybody's laughing at his, you know, behind his, uh, you know, butt
00:14:10.160
This is the scene that happens at vanity fairs, met gala every year.
00:14:20.640
All of that garbage that you get from the elites, that's there.
00:14:25.820
The other victim includes the rich easy target, but not just rich.
00:14:35.560
The rich, the rich aren't villains, just the rich that consumes what is cool, trendy, and
00:14:43.680
hip, not because they like it, but they, because they know everybody else who's anybody is consuming
00:14:50.860
And so they will do what everybody else does because it's cool and they don't care about
00:14:57.900
They just want to be in that group, the mindless eater.
00:15:02.400
Now, so far, do any of these characters sound like conservatives?
00:15:07.300
Then there's the vain Hollywood type that will do or say anything just to keep his stardom
00:15:12.800
alive and his guest, a producer who helped or enabled him.
00:15:17.220
Then the angel investor, the angel investor was invited and had to die because he thought compromises
00:15:24.860
should be made in the budget after COVID while the chef knew there can be no compromise on
00:15:32.500
The evil Silicon Valley financiers who are driven to greed and profit, no matter what
00:15:39.620
it takes, the foodie who is also a fake, while he talked a good game, you know, he did it
00:15:48.620
He would be better than everyone else, but without any merit whatsoever.
00:15:53.020
So far, what you have is the world economic forum.
00:15:57.840
What you have is a microcosm of what we stand against.
00:16:11.120
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:16:20.240
David Ticey is the director and producer of Grid Down Power Up.
00:16:28.720
So glad to be with you and your listeners, Glenn.
00:16:32.220
You know, I'm so glad that you have come out with this documentary because I keep asking,
00:16:38.940
well, what happens when we get all these magic cars on, you know, the grid?
00:16:47.140
When we get rid of all of the coal that is making all this electricity, what's going to
00:16:53.620
Glenn, and you've looked at these things and looked at the grid itself.
00:17:04.300
So what we're doing with this documentary, Glenn, is we're not so much looking at where
00:17:10.000
the power comes from as far as how much wind we have, how much solar, all the EVs, et cetera.
00:17:16.060
But the point is, our power grid is vulnerable.
00:17:27.000
And our military has protected our command control centers, our missile systems, et cetera.
00:17:35.220
But our substations in our neighborhoods, which have these huge transformers, is this completely
00:17:42.580
And if that goes down, we're so reliant on electricity.
00:17:45.360
So this is more along the lines of what we're seeing with these.
00:17:49.420
There was just a report out from the Pacific Northwest that neo-Nazis are going to be, you
00:17:58.640
know, shooting and trying to bring down the power substations.
00:18:02.160
So we're looking at that kind of attack and, I assume, cyber attacks?
00:18:13.060
One is a fiscal attack like we saw in North Carolina or in the Pacific Northwest.
00:18:19.500
But it could be a major attack like we had in Metcalfe, California, that was covered by
00:18:26.300
If nine substations, however, were taken out, there was a FERC report, which is the Federal
00:18:32.720
Energy Regulatory Commission, that found if nine critical nodes were taken out, it could
00:18:43.560
That's more what we're concerned about in the physical attack vector.
00:18:47.080
The other three attacks are an EMP attack, which has been talked about at times over decades,
00:18:54.800
which is an electromagnetic pulse attack that would primarily come from a state actor, like
00:19:04.960
Third attack would be a cyber attack that could come from a smaller group, or it could come
00:19:13.980
And then the fourth threat we talk about is a geomagnetic disturbance, which is essentially
00:19:18.960
a natural EMP attack that would come from the sun that could wipe out our transformers and,
00:19:29.040
Do you go into the geomagnetic field and are poles drifting so far with this causing real
00:19:39.020
problems with the magnetic field, which would make your last scenario very likely?
00:19:52.360
And so we, we kind of limit some of the topics that we go into, but we, the name of my film
00:20:00.420
I'm literally trying to wake up America to the biggest threats.
00:20:04.760
I'm trying to open a dialogue, you know, which is getting started.
00:20:08.460
It's now being watched by members of the Texas legislature.
00:20:12.800
In the Florida legislature, I'm opening it up to congressional committees, chairman of
00:20:23.180
So I'm trying to, we need to wake up your listeners and viewers because we need some ticked
00:20:29.300
off soccer moms and dads where we say, we are vulnerable.
00:20:34.980
And the equipment is out there that can be provided at the front end of our substations
00:20:43.060
I will tell you that you are taking on, at least with the EMP and the, you know, the
00:20:49.380
electromagnetic pulse that could come from the sun as well.
00:20:54.420
You're barking up a tree I have been barking at for a long time.
00:20:58.880
And I know, I'm sure you've read the book One Second After.
00:21:08.480
That was a, that was a Paul Revere moment to the guy who was trying to get this to Congress
00:21:13.460
said, we've got to make this into a story that they can digest.
00:21:16.460
There seems to be for some reason, zero interest in protecting something that if it goes down,
00:21:25.580
90% of the U S population will die in the first year.
00:21:31.160
What is the objection to, to, uh, fixing this and protecting it?
00:21:39.140
So actually there has been some action often on by U S Congress.
00:21:47.420
Donald Trump actually passed an EMP executive order that was codified into law in the national
00:21:57.400
But the problem has been just ineptitude, disorganization.
00:22:04.240
Frankly, there's been, uh, people that have been completely inept that have not followed
00:22:18.300
Uh, the big issue is we have something called regulatory capture where essentially our electric
00:22:25.140
utilities are self-governed and there've been all kinds of examples that we talk about on
00:22:31.560
our website at grid down, power up.com where a few times the legislators and our policymakers
00:22:40.560
And it's just not followed through well enough.
00:22:43.160
What do you think is the most likely of those scenarios and how real do you think this is?
00:22:49.100
So I'd say cyber attack is probably the most likely.
00:22:54.680
So Ted Koppel ended up writing a book called lights out back in 2005, 2000, uh, actually
00:23:05.260
And he was concerned about the grid going down for an extended period of time and a number
00:23:13.300
Jennifer Granholm, who's the current secretary of energy under Joe Biden was on a Sunday
00:23:21.560
And she was asked if our adversaries are in the grid.
00:23:26.420
And she said, yes, they are in the grid and they could potentially shut it down.
00:23:31.460
Therefore, what we saw with, uh, this is maybe a little bit of a stretch, but Southwest airlines
00:23:38.020
where Southwest airlines had all their, uh, ability to be able to organize planes and, uh, their
00:23:52.120
I mean, that happened, you know, I think that could have been essentially a trial run or a, uh, warning
00:24:01.160
to our American leadership that we can do this, we can do this for other systems, but they did it
00:24:12.020
That's some conjecture on my part, but I believe that could be the case.
00:24:16.800
I think it could be the case too, on what happened with the airlines here just a few weeks ago,
00:24:20.780
where Canada and the United States had to ground all of our planes because we lost our connection
00:24:27.820
to all of the, uh, all of the planes to send them emergency alerts and, you know, Hey, you're getting
00:24:38.060
I, for one, you don't necessarily, um, I don't dismiss that, but I, I also wonder was the human
00:24:45.420
error that you clicked on this to see porn and it downloaded some sort of a, a virus because it, it,
00:24:52.940
it was a, uh, it was a, uh, uh, textual, uh, malfunction with the system and it shut down
00:25:00.820
the entire United States and Canada for several hours.
00:25:04.640
And I think that is also a possibility of something saying we can do this.
00:25:12.300
Can you explain a little bit about what happens to our society?
00:25:19.120
There is something called the EMP commission that operated for 17 years and it had some
00:25:24.920
of the strongest scientists in the world that were on that commission.
00:25:29.400
And you mentioned that 90% statistic, which just sounds ridiculous, but you look at the
00:25:36.100
number of people that died in our Texas snowmageddon, that was 250 or so.
00:25:42.060
We're talking about a number that would be a million times bigger than that, 250 million
00:25:49.640
Now it sounds ridiculous, but let's talk about how we get there.
00:25:53.540
Our municipal water systems and our wastewater systems are completely dependent upon the power
00:26:01.580
I visited a municipal water system that serves Highland Park in Dallas and talked to the, uh,
00:26:09.340
head guy there and he said, uh, we have no backup.
00:26:15.340
We thought about some backup transform, some backup, uh, generators in the past, and it would
00:26:27.120
We saw in Houston, Texas, 2.2 million people, uh, for 36 hours had boil water orders because
00:26:39.280
This ended up being an internal, uh, generator in their case, which is not exactly apples,
00:26:50.240
You look at cholera and what can break out if our wastewater systems don't work.
00:27:02.600
There's our stores will be, there's nothing, there's no, there's no refrigeration.
00:27:09.380
Everything goes bad within a week or two, everything.
00:27:13.800
And it essentially does turn into zombie apocalypse.
00:27:17.980
Unfortunately, because our national guard isn't going to be there.
00:27:22.700
You think about, uh, the two steps are if it's nationwide, it's one thing.
00:27:28.760
If power goes out in Louisiana because we're there in Arkansas and Texas and can supply it's,
00:27:35.060
but if it's nationwide, we, we essentially don't have that.
00:27:38.480
We'd be counting on France to send us, if we're, to send us food and water.
00:27:43.500
If our water systems go out, human beings die after three days without water.
00:27:54.780
And then you look at an extended period of time.
00:28:04.400
I mean, look at, um, look at what happened with Katrina.
00:28:07.700
I mean, you have 72 hours to get to some sort of stable safety.
00:28:12.360
After that in three days, when no help has arrived within three days, society goes to hell.
00:28:19.340
Um, and it just takes on a whole new atmosphere, uh, as we saw with Katrina.
00:28:25.940
That is, that's, that's normal, uh, to have that.
00:28:29.740
The other thing that, um, is shocking to think about is how many people are alive today that shouldn't be alive.
00:28:37.100
They're taking heart medicine, uh, they're, they have insulin, uh, the psychiatric drugs in 30 days.
00:28:46.500
You begin to have a whole new problem on your hand.
00:28:51.260
Uh, and it is, it's all caused by an outage of our power.
00:29:02.600
If you hit our, our, uh, electricity power grid, we're done as a nation.
00:29:12.240
Um, by the way, when you look at the ones that are sabotaging people shooting into them, we don't have those, you know, replacement parts just kind of hanging out.
00:29:26.520
So we talk in the film about, uh, transformers and especially our highest volume transformers.
00:29:37.580
And most of those are made in South Korea and Germany.
00:29:42.940
And there could be a long lead line for lead time for those.
00:29:47.100
And therefore there's huge risk of, uh, if they are taken out and you look at our substations, you can walk around your suburban neighborhood and you could see them being protected by chain link.
00:30:01.360
I know, I know, uh, David, thank you for what you've done.
00:30:05.100
The name of the, uh, uh, of the documentary is grid down, power up.
00:30:10.320
You can find it at grid down, power up, find out all the information.
00:30:21.420
Uh, David, uh, understands what is, what the consequences are of us not protecting it.
00:30:28.500
This is, should be a bipartisan and uniting issue because we all die if they don't have this protected.
00:30:49.640
Chris Brady, uh, who has run Glenn Beck.com mainly into the ground.
00:30:56.880
Um, uh, has, has really been the backbone of our archives and everything for so long.
00:31:02.760
He started, I think he was there before you were a part of the show, the second iteration.
00:31:18.460
But, uh, I remember those conversations exactly.
00:31:26.900
Chris is a great dude and has been around forever.
00:31:28.780
So he's just put out a very timely coloring book for your kids.
00:31:34.140
Uh, it is, uh, Joe Biden hides classified documents.
00:31:39.020
Uh, you can get it now at Biden coloring books.com.
00:31:48.200
And, uh, you know, you, you, you have to find the documents, uh, that he's hidden, uh, you know,
00:31:54.860
all over sometimes on his body or, you know, in the picture someplace.
00:31:59.520
Uh, they also, uh, first, first ever visual illustration I've seen of corn pop, which
00:32:07.840
You know, but that's apparently what he looks like.
00:32:10.040
So, um, uh, so anyway, you, you, you, you've got that and then great moments in Biden history.
00:32:15.420
This is the, uh, and your kids will love coloring this in.
00:32:18.440
And this is Joe Biden leaving his house with a shotgun after he just blew three, you know,
00:32:22.900
two holes, no, three holes with a, with a double barrel shotgun.
00:32:27.400
He, uh, he, but three holes in the door, you know, uh, coming from that speech where he said,
00:32:37.420
And then of course, uh, the great moments with, uh, the top secret Hillary's first kill
00:32:42.260
list is all in, um, Joe Biden hides classified documents, the coloring book.
00:32:51.920
And you can find it again at, uh, Biden coloring books.com.
00:33:00.680
Just like in real life, it seems hard to find all of his documents.
00:33:10.600
Oh, I was listening to, uh, and again, we do these things for you.
00:33:15.420
We do this things, these things for you, America.
00:33:17.200
You don't have to, you don't have to, you, they can't get away with things because we
00:33:21.420
listen and we read the mainstream media and we look at it so we can find all their nonsense
00:33:27.840
So you don't have to digest all of it, but they did a report on the Biden missing documents
00:33:32.440
in the day on the daily today, which is the New York times sort of, uh, we have the New
00:33:38.740
I love that because when you're talking about the daily, so let me interview you about the
00:33:43.180
daily today, cause that's the way it, Joe Biden, superhero document sleuth documents
00:33:53.980
have been found everywhere and he's going in for a rectal exam later this afternoon.
00:34:04.020
We talked to expert Zib Zibbler on the daily Zib.
00:34:15.000
So, uh, I hear you have great things to say about Joe Biden in the documents.
00:34:19.860
I have to pause when you ask questions for no seeming, no seemingly good reason on this
00:34:31.040
So what was the strategy of the Biden White House as they went through this process?
00:34:51.660
I want you to ask me that because that's what they talk about.
00:35:01.600
The host, Michael, Michael, Michael, the White House had a strategy when these documents
00:35:12.600
And that strategy is something that I'm happy to talk about if you ask me about it.
00:35:26.960
The strategy of Biden and the rollout of the documents.
00:35:46.020
We're just supposed to sit here and listen to this really crappy music.
00:35:54.320
This is where people are thinking about the question that you're about to answer.
00:36:11.260
So the strategy behind the White House documents was something that the White House felt passionately
00:36:19.580
They just didn't want to talk to the public about this after finding out about the November
00:36:39.260
No, I want you to think about what you just said there.
00:36:45.760
So their strategy was to make sure the public didn't know about this.
00:36:50.180
And the reason for that was they just didn't want to affect the investigation.
00:37:02.580
So what you're saying is they didn't want to infect anyone's thinking on the investigation
00:37:11.580
because if they found him to be guilty, the White House wanted to make sure that he paid
00:37:24.020
Okay, so I didn't want to talk when there was no music.
00:37:30.100
So, yes, the issue was, no, no, they just didn't want the investigation to be tainted
00:37:53.920
And then more documents were found, okay, and CBS News breaks the story of the first set
00:38:04.280
They only confirmed that report, but don't talk about the second batch of documents, and that
00:38:10.560
was to, again, protect the sanctity of this investigation that now the whole public knew
00:38:18.560
The New York Times breaks down all of the key topics every day with The Daily.
00:38:28.260
To make sure I'm clear here, I have no skepticism at all.
00:38:38.780
The Biden White House told it to me, and now I'm telling it to everyone else as if it's
00:38:43.160
As what we do here every day on The Daily from The New York Times.
