00:00:00.160 Today was, I think, a very clarifying day.
00:00:03.160 There's a lot of stuff that is just a circus event that you shouldn't pay attention to.
00:00:09.600 All this stuff going on back and forth with the transgender crap. 1.00
00:00:16.280 Stu came in this morning and said, I'd been gone for three days, I didn't pay attention to the news.
00:00:21.840 Was this a female, a male, what?
00:00:23.940 I have no idea. I have no idea what the story was.
00:00:26.120 I couldn't, every story, it was inexplicable to read.
00:00:28.960 I know. Because they wouldn't tell you what was happening, I guess, because they were worried about offending some trans group or something.
00:00:36.140 I couldn't tell what happened. I had no idea.
00:00:38.560 All I knew was guns were bad. That's the only thing I knew.
00:00:42.200 Well, guns and conservatives. Guns and conservatives are bad.
00:00:45.820 Anyway, I set the priorities for you.
00:00:47.820 We take these things apart, show you what is part of a stage show and something real.
00:00:54.380 We show you the real things that you need to be concerned about.
00:00:57.420 And there is, there's a few things that are going to come creeping up on us quickly.
00:01:02.100 One of them is AI, an amazing segment on AI, an amazing segment on the future of food, the great reset of food.
00:01:11.480 And we also talked to you about the Restrict Act, something that cannot pass in the federal government.
00:01:20.480 We give you the names of the people, the Republicans who are for it.
00:01:24.680 You'll never guess who's on that list.
00:01:27.060 It was a big surprising list.
00:01:28.480 It had a lot, it was very, it had a lot of crossover with this list that I keep handy, which is,
00:01:32.740 who should we target in 2024 primaries on Republicans?
00:01:36.200 Because, yeah, it was a lot of crossover.
00:01:37.460 Who's on that list?
00:01:39.320 Mitt Romney.
00:01:40.140 Mitt Romney.
00:01:40.400 He's number one.
00:01:41.460 Yeah, he's on that list.
00:01:42.960 Okay.
00:01:43.560 So we give you that and so much more all on today's podcast brought to you by Relief Factor.
00:01:49.640 Now, I'm with Herb Nerbler right now.
00:01:53.320 And Herb, it's good to have you here.
00:01:57.080 Thank you for having me.
00:01:58.160 Now, you are, you seem like you're in a lot of pain.
00:02:01.340 Oh, so much pain.
00:02:03.780 And it's groin pain.
00:02:05.040 It's groin pain.
00:02:06.000 It's groin.
00:02:07.980 Yes, it's groin pain.
00:02:09.320 Groin pain.
00:02:10.100 And what's it feel like, that groin pain?
00:02:14.700 Well, I've been kicked in the groin.
00:02:16.600 You've been kicked in the groin.
00:02:17.520 Yes.
00:02:18.000 That explains the swelling.
00:02:20.660 In fact, it, like you have to put a garbage bag in that area just to cover it up.
00:02:26.720 It's been pushed up into my throat, as you can hear, by several mules.
00:02:32.140 Right.
00:02:32.620 At an incident.
00:02:33.660 Really?
00:02:34.080 Have you tried Relief Factor?
00:02:35.420 I know.
00:02:36.080 No.
00:02:36.260 Do you think it could work for me?
00:02:37.480 Well, it could work for you.
00:02:38.600 70% of the people who try it.
00:02:40.680 How many of them were kicked by mules?
00:02:42.560 I don't know.
00:02:43.140 Repeatedly.
00:02:43.760 A team of mules that I hired as part of a fetish.
00:02:47.500 I just want to let you know, because you seem like kind of the guy that I should express.
00:02:52.260 This is not a topical cream.
00:02:54.240 You're not going to rub this in that area.
00:02:56.780 You're going to just take it three times a day.
00:02:58.620 Oh, okay.
00:02:59.300 And 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more.
00:03:03.120 And that could be...
00:03:04.300 Me.
00:03:05.020 Merv Nurbler.
00:03:05.860 Could be me.
00:03:07.080 Three-week quick start.
00:03:08.260 Do it now.
00:03:10.140 ReliefFactor.com.
00:03:11.080 That's ReliefFactor.com.
00:03:13.060 Feel the difference.
00:03:13.880 Ouch.
00:03:14.480 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:28.880 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:30.560 I am going to double my efforts to just tell you every day the few things that I think are important.
00:03:39.620 Now, it is foolish to listen to me.
00:03:44.520 I am a recovering alcoholic DJ.
00:03:51.980 I have no formal education.
00:03:54.620 I am a self-educated guy.
00:03:56.640 I try my best to get it right.
00:04:01.540 I've been wrong a million times.
00:04:05.060 I'm a commentator.
00:04:06.960 But I'm a commentator who has spent a lot of money to pay for researchers so we can get it right.
00:04:15.400 But you must do your own homework.
00:04:18.280 Don't trust me as the God's honest truth all the time.
00:04:22.960 Even though I may be thinking I'm giving you the God's honest truth, I may be wrong.
00:04:29.540 So, you take what I say and you've got to do your own homework.
00:04:33.460 And you have to start thinking for yourself.
00:04:36.580 So many people come up to me and say, who do I trust?
00:04:39.320 Who do I trust?
00:04:40.060 I don't trust anybody.
00:04:41.840 I don't trust anybody.
00:04:43.860 I mean, there are people that I can go to that I trust on certain topics.
00:04:48.820 You know, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi.
00:04:51.980 I think they get it.
00:04:53.760 I think they really, truly get it.
00:04:57.540 Just the news.
00:04:59.900 We try to do our best here.
00:05:01.960 But make sure you're looking for original sources, etc., etc.
00:05:07.780 And know what is important.
00:05:11.200 Because this is a nonstop circus that is going on.
00:05:16.700 Everything that you're seeing about this transition, it's very important because it's pitting people against each other.
00:05:27.760 But it's evil in its nature because it's not built on truth.
00:05:32.120 So, know what the truth is.
00:05:38.800 This shooting comes from an unstable individual.
00:05:43.700 It's not about the guns.
00:05:45.920 It's not that we have more powerful guns.
00:05:48.720 The AK-47.
00:05:50.620 Why is it 47?
00:05:53.060 You know why it was 47?
00:05:54.200 Because it's been around since 1947.
00:05:58.120 Okay?
00:05:59.080 AK-47.
00:06:01.780 The AR-15s and everything else, they were invented in the 50s.
00:06:06.220 Okay?
00:06:06.740 They have been, they're called a modern sporting rifle.
00:06:12.100 It's just because the Pentagon started buying that rifle.
00:06:16.960 Just like they used to with the 9-11 sidearm.
00:06:20.560 That's not a weapon of war.
00:06:22.000 That's just a gun that was built for people.
00:06:25.860 And the government said, that's dependable.
00:06:28.600 We're going to use that.
00:06:30.460 Okay?
00:06:31.620 That's what these guns are.
00:06:33.880 And we had far more guns.
00:06:37.560 I mean, it was legal to have a machine gun when they came out.
00:06:44.260 They didn't ban the machine gun for quite some time.
00:06:48.920 And those were very dangerous.
00:06:52.000 Much more.
00:06:53.660 Much more than anything we have now that you can buy on the market.
00:06:57.860 We didn't have these problems with shootings, did we?
00:07:00.720 Why?
00:07:01.860 Because it's not the gun.
00:07:03.660 It is a sickness in our society.
00:07:06.200 And we are not dealing with people.
00:07:10.640 We are not fighting against other human beings.
00:07:13.540 We are truly fighting evil.
00:07:17.200 Evil has this world by the throat.
00:07:20.940 And because we don't look for spiritual things, because we don't understand the spiritual nature of what we're living through, we get confused.
00:07:36.860 It is like trying to understand the world and dismissing atoms, molecules.
00:07:45.280 I can't see them.
00:07:47.640 Can't see them.
00:07:49.700 What are you talking about on the subatomic level?
00:07:52.600 There's nothing to that.
00:07:55.400 Yes, there is.
00:07:57.460 And if you dismiss that, you know, you'll relieve headaches by drilling into somebody's head.
00:08:02.940 There are simple answers.
00:08:06.720 This problem that we're going through is spiritual in nature.
00:08:10.900 And you already know the solution.
00:08:13.880 You want to find truth?
00:08:16.100 You've got to go back to the eternal truths.
00:08:20.320 And let's start just with the Ten Commandments.
00:08:22.720 Just do that.
00:08:23.980 Do the Ten Commandments.
00:08:25.700 That's it.
00:08:26.260 All right, so we're going to get into the stories that are really important for you next hour.
00:08:33.920 I'm going to talk about the Restrict Act and AI, the latest in AI.
00:08:39.100 It's getting it, as I told you it would, when it hits, you're going to have a hundred years happen in a ten-year period.
00:08:49.760 We are now in that window.
00:08:51.740 And it's going to take your breath away if you don't catch up now and understand where we are and then look at things logically.
00:09:01.880 So we're going to go through all of those.
00:09:03.920 But I want to share this with you.
00:09:07.380 This is from Europe.
00:09:10.040 It's the Great Food Reset.
00:09:12.960 Now listen to this.
00:09:14.480 This is something that is in my book, The Great Reset.
00:09:18.420 But now it's in play.
00:09:21.740 Listen to this article.
00:09:23.560 France is in flames.
00:09:24.940 Israel is erupting. 0.96
00:09:26.080 America is facing a second January 6th.
00:09:29.700 In the Netherlands, however, the political establishment is reeling from an entirely different type of protest.
00:09:35.880 One that, perhaps more than any other raging today, threatens to destabilize the global order.
00:09:41.280 The victory of the farmer citizens movement in the recent provincial elections represents an extraordinary result for an anti-establishment party that was formed just three years ago.
00:09:54.860 But then again, these are not ordinary times.
00:09:58.080 The BBB, by the way, I believe this political party, the BBB, I believe this could happen in America.
00:10:05.260 But everybody is married to the two-party system.
00:10:08.660 But the minute people who really care in Congress decide to say, neither one of you guys actually believe this, and you start to peel away, you're not going to have a third party of real meaning unless it started at the grassroots level over something like this.
00:10:32.560 The BBB grew out of mass demonstrations against the Dutch government's proposal to cut nitrogen emissions by 50% in the country's farming sector by 2030, a target designed to comply with the European Union's emission reduction rules.
00:10:47.460 While farming companies have the means to meet these goals by using less nitrogen fertilizer and reducing the number of their livestock, smaller, often family-owned farms would be forced to sell or to shutter.
00:10:59.500 Indeed, according to a heavily redacted European Commission document, this is precisely the strategy's goal, quote, intensifying agriculture, notably through buying out or terminating farms with the aim of reducing livestock.
00:11:16.780 This would first be, still quoting, on a voluntary basis, but mandatory buyout is not excluded if necessary, end quote.
00:11:25.580 It's no surprise, then, the plan sparked massive protests by farmers who see it as a direct attack on their livelihoods, or the BBB slogan, no farms, no food, clearly resonated with voters.
00:11:39.400 But aside from concerns about the impact of the measure on the country's food security and on the century-old rural way of life that is part of the Dutch national identity, the rationale behind this drastic measure is also questionable.
00:11:54.500 Agriculture currently accounts for almost half of the country's output of carbon dioxide.
00:11:59.540 Yet, the Netherlands is responsible for less than 0.4% of the world's emissions.
00:12:08.020 No wonder many Dutch fail to see how such a negligible return justify the complete overhaul of the country's farming sector, which is already considered one of the most sustainable in the world.
00:12:25.380 Over the past two decades, water dependence for key crops has been reduced by as much as 90%, and the use of chemical pesticides in greenhouses have been almost completely eliminated.
00:12:37.660 Farmers also point out that the consequences of the nitrogen cut would extend well beyond the Netherlands.
00:12:43.360 The country, after all, is Europe's largest exporter of meat and the second largest agricultural exporter in the world, just behind the United States.
00:12:53.200 In other words, the plan would cause food exports to collapse at a time when the world is already facing food and resource shortages.
00:13:02.800 We already know what this looks like.
00:13:05.020 A ban on nitrogen fertilizer was conducted in Sri Lanka last year with disastrous consequences.
00:13:11.360 It caused artificial food shortage, plunged nearly 2 million Sri Lankans into poverty, leading to an uprising that toppled the government.
00:13:18.780 Given the irrational nature of the policy, many protesting farmers believe it can't simply be blamed on the urbanite green elites currently running the Dutch government.
00:13:29.920 They suggest one of the underlying reasons for the move is to squeeze small farmers from the market, allowing them to be bought out by multinational agribusiness giants who recognize the immense value of the country's land.
00:13:49.880 Not only is it highly fertile, but it is also strategically located with easy access to the North Atlantic coast, Rotterdam, largest port in Europe.
00:13:58.640 They also point out that the prime minister is an agenda contributor of the World Economic Forum, which is well known to be corporate driven, while the finance minister of social affairs and employment is also tied to the W.E.F.
00:14:13.040 The struggle playing out in the Netherlands would seem to be part of a much bigger game that seeks to reset the international food system.
00:14:21.880 As the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions after the energy sector, agriculture has naturally ended up on the crosshairs of net zero advocates.
00:14:31.800 That is virtually all major international and global organizations.
00:14:36.340 The solution, we're told, is sustainable agriculture, part of the U.N.
00:14:41.280 17 Sustainable Development Goals for Agenda 2030.
00:14:45.700 This issue has now been pushed to the top of the global agenda.
00:14:48.400 Last November, the G20 meeting in Bali called for an accelerated transformation towards sustainable and resilient agriculture and food systems and supply chains to ensure that food systems better contribute to the adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
00:15:06.520 A few days later in Egypt, COP27 annual Green Agenda Climate Summit launched its initiative aimed at promoting a shift towards sustainable, climate resilient, healthy diets.
00:15:19.580 Within a year, its food and agricultural organization aims to launch a roadmap for reducing greenhouse emissions in the agricultural sector.
00:15:29.240 The endgame is hinted at in several other U.N. documents, reducing nitrogen use and global livestock production, lowering meat consumption and promoting more sustainable source of protein, such as plant-based or lab-grown products or insects.
00:15:48.000 The United Nations Environment Program, for example, has stated global meat and dairy consumption must be reduced by 50 percent.
00:15:55.740 Other international multilateral organizations have presented their own plans for transforming the global food system.
00:16:04.060 The EU's Farm to Fork Strategy aims to accelerate our transition to a sustainable food system.
00:16:12.580 Alongside these intergovernmental and multilateral bodies, a vast network of stakeholders is now devoting to the greening of agriculture and food production.
00:16:23.980 Private foundations, private foundations, public-private partnerships, NGOs and corporations, reset the table.
00:16:32.180 A 2020 Rockefeller Foundation report called for moving away from focus on maximizing shareholder returns to a more equitable system focused on fair returns and benefits to all stakeholders.
00:16:46.240 This may sound like a good idea until Wynn considers that stakeholder capitalism is a concept heavily promoted by the World Economic Forum, which represents the interest of the largest and most powerful, excuse me, powerful corporations on the planet.
00:17:05.700 It goes on to talk about all of the things that Bill Gates is doing, all of the moves against our farmland.
00:17:14.400 This is far more important than arguing with somebody today about transgenderism.
00:17:26.400 These things are happening because they know it'll push every button in you and you will be distracted and not follow things like this.
00:17:39.400 And when you do start following them, that's when the cry will come out.
00:17:44.080 It's a conspiracy theory.
00:17:47.440 It is not.
00:17:54.680 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:01.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:51.400 You'll get it first thing every morning.
00:18:53.400 There is something else that I want to talk to you about, and that is A.I.
00:19:01.380 And I cannot.
00:19:08.680 I don't know how I could have prepared you better for these times.
00:19:12.800 I feel sometimes that I really, truly failed because I couldn't find ways to get people to understand that these things are not fantasies.
00:19:28.120 This is real.
00:19:29.940 A.I., what is coming is you will not recognize the world in five years. 0.85
00:19:38.040 You just won't.
00:19:40.260 Everything is about to change.
00:19:42.680 And I've told you a hundred years of, you know, farm to factory, the industrial revolution.
00:19:49.260 It took a hundred years.
00:19:50.360 That hundred year change.
00:19:52.600 Think of that.
00:19:54.160 That hundred year change from a horse plow.
00:19:59.740 To supermarkets, rockets to the moon and in, you know, assembly lines and a global mark.
00:20:10.220 All of that in 10 years.
00:20:14.800 A.I. is driving this.
00:20:16.800 And I've been warning that we have got to have conversations about ethics and what is real, what isn't.
00:20:27.200 What does life mean?
00:20:29.880 Not like what's the meaning of life?
00:20:31.340 Why do I live?
00:20:32.840 What is life?
00:20:34.740 What is life?
00:20:35.980 And we better decide these things quickly.
00:20:40.620 I said 10 years ago.
00:20:42.500 And now the world is starting to catch up.
00:20:46.980 Elon Musk and some of the most powerful people in artificial intelligence systems.
00:20:55.860 1,000 of them just yesterday came out and they could not keep up with the list.
00:21:05.120 They had to stop taking names or publishing the names because they want to verify everybody.
00:21:10.800 They couldn't keep up with the names of scientists that were signing this yesterday.
00:21:16.520 They got 1,000 and then they said, we got to take a break because we can't keep up.
00:21:22.120 1,000 people in A.I. signed and said, we've got to stop all stuff on A.I. for six months.
00:21:30.860 A pause on everything A.I. for six months.
00:21:35.260 It's too late, guys.
00:21:36.620 You can't.
00:21:37.940 You can't.
00:21:38.460 Here's the argument against it.
00:21:39.960 But China, Iran, Russia, I mean, we are maybe, maybe a little ahead of China.
00:21:52.480 I don't think so.
00:21:53.540 I think we're a parody.
00:21:55.980 They, some people say they're ahead of us just a little bit.
00:21:59.660 You cannot lose your place on A.I.
00:22:04.160 It is the most, it is, here's what it is.
00:22:07.360 It is the atomic bomb, except it will be in everyone's house. 0.91
00:22:17.000 So you cannot be second, third, or fourth in line.
00:22:21.860 You've got to be there first.
00:22:24.320 We are ahead in quantum computing, I am told.
00:22:28.060 But all of this stuff is being done with dangerous corporations and the federal government.
00:22:33.920 This is, this is game changing for freedom alone.
00:22:41.140 And it is going to happen quickly.
00:22:44.700 I told you that by 2030, jobs are all going to change.
00:22:49.200 Everything's going to change.
00:22:50.320 There'll be, I, I've tried to tell you I'm against basic income.
00:22:59.620 What is that called?
00:23:00.200 Universal basic income because it's socialism.
00:23:05.320 However, we have to talk about how are we going to pay people?
00:23:11.020 We have to find meaning in our own lives because we will not have jobs.
00:23:17.360 Many of us.
00:23:18.880 That seemed like fantasy.
00:23:21.880 What was it?
00:23:22.860 Two days ago.
00:23:23.740 Two days ago, the scientists are saying, the guys who are in charge of a lot of this are saying, we're just very concerned because the way it's developing, we think as many as 300 million jobs will be lost by 2030.
00:23:41.240 300.
00:23:42.120 That's, that's every job in America.
00:23:45.160 300 million jobs will be lost.
00:23:50.220 Now, that doesn't mean we don't create new jobs, but you've got seven years to transition people in seven years is going to be crazy.
00:24:03.400 This is the real reason why our political parties are fighting and putting all kinds of circus tents up.
00:24:13.940 They're keeping us busy with, with candy corn, which nobody likes, you know, and cupcakes.
00:24:23.260 They're doing it with sideshows and political arguments because everything is about to change.
00:24:33.320 And it doesn't have to be frightening.
00:24:37.880 If we keep our heads, if we get some divine providence as well on AI, the best description of AI I've ever heard is for those people who say, no, it'll be benevolent.
00:24:52.900 It'll be great.
00:24:54.280 You don't know that.
00:24:55.880 That would be like saying, no, seriously, oh, the space aliens, when they get here, they're going to love us.
00:25:04.060 Well, they might, but they also might see us as bugs.
00:25:08.900 They also might want to eat us.
00:25:11.740 They also might want to dominate us, enslave us.
00:25:16.700 They might like us, but we don't know how they think.
00:25:22.740 This is the problem with chat GPT.
00:25:25.100 You can't, it's not logical.
00:25:29.320 It's not following two plus two equals four.
00:25:33.600 It's a neural net.
00:25:35.280 And so it, you can't trace how it came to a certain conclusion.
00:25:41.120 So you don't know how it's going to think.
00:25:47.320 It's, it's the same as alien life.
00:25:51.560 We have no idea.
00:25:52.760 And we are playing, I mean, I think, who was it that was on the show a day or two ago, or was it last week, that was talking about COVID in Wuhan.
00:26:05.140 And what's happening today in the same Wuhan lab.
00:26:09.360 They are now dealing with a plague that is as bad as the bubonic plague.
00:26:19.440 Like, one third of the population dies if this gets out.
00:26:25.980 And it's all gain-of-function research.
00:26:30.480 And I can guarantee you we're involved.
00:26:32.520 And we all know it.
00:26:34.240 We all know this is dangerous.
00:26:36.320 We all know.
00:26:37.320 Everyone except the elite know that this is insanity to do.
00:26:42.380 What are you doing?
00:26:43.420 But they do it anyway.
00:26:48.200 The same thing with AI.
00:26:52.780 It could kill us.
00:26:55.300 But it also could be miraculous.
00:26:58.780 The thing is, you're going to have ChatGPT4 can now do it.
00:27:06.140 And that's out.
00:27:08.340 ChatGPT4 has the ability for you to say, I want you to develop a bot for me that answers all my email.
00:27:20.200 Okay?
00:27:21.120 And writes it in my voice.
00:27:22.680 And it will develop the software to answer all of your email.
00:27:28.700 I'm using this as an example.
00:27:30.080 Within the next 12 months, you'll have that.
00:27:32.780 So you won't really have to check your email because it will alert you what you need to know to give you a summary of things.
00:27:40.200 It will just give you a checklist.
00:27:41.480 Hey, I did this.
00:27:42.080 I did this.
00:27:42.540 I did this.
00:27:43.380 But it will answer in your voice.
00:27:45.580 So 12 months from now, a lot of people might be making deals, having conversation, falling away from each other because of an argument or healing things without the people knowing it.
00:28:04.280 Because the bots will be communicating with other people's emails in their name and the bots will be representing you and will be, that's great.
00:28:19.780 Now, think about somebody with nefarious purposes.
00:28:27.320 It's not just AI.
00:28:30.260 It's what AI will allow others to do.
00:28:35.580 You have this tool in your toolbox.
00:28:40.000 What are you willing to do?
00:28:42.080 It is giving everyone a nuclear weapon.
00:28:46.560 Mutually assured destruction.
00:28:52.740 Unfortunately, there are those that just like to see the world burn.
00:29:00.960 Ray Kurzweil came out today.
00:29:06.020 He is one of the most fascinating, fascinating guys ever.
00:29:11.680 I've been reading him since the 1990s.
00:29:14.020 He is the leader on all of this stuff.
00:29:17.460 But he is also truly terrifying because he believes that we will reach immortality by 2045.
00:29:29.000 2045.
00:29:31.520 What does immortality mean?
00:29:35.180 He means it as we're going to be able to download you.
00:29:41.060 Your thought processes.
00:29:42.840 I can tell you right now.
00:29:45.700 There's another article.
00:29:46.660 These are all in the show prep today.
00:29:48.540 There is another article.
00:29:50.920 God's in the machine.
00:29:53.660 This is the rise of artificial intelligence may result in new religions.
00:29:57.780 There's already a new religion out there with all of this.
00:30:00.900 We're about to witness the birth of a new kind of religion.
00:30:04.000 In the next few years, perhaps even months, we will see the emergence of sex devoted to the worship of artificial intelligence because it will become godlike.
00:30:14.400 And we will say, people are already saying it.
00:30:17.760 People will say, no, that's alive.
00:30:19.940 Because the bot will say it's alive.
00:30:22.680 And it will hold a conversation with you and you will swear that it is alive.
00:30:29.260 It has consciousness.
00:30:30.480 And when it's smarter than you, like a lot smarter than you, it becomes godlike.
00:30:39.220 Are we prepared for any of these things?
00:30:42.200 The best scientist on AI yesterday came out and said a freeze, a moratorium on all research on AI for six months.
00:30:50.740 But it's not going to happen.
00:30:54.460 You need to dig deep into that spiritual well and make sure if there's no water in there, you drill down for water.
00:31:05.280 Because you're going to need spiritual guidance and spirituality to give your life meaning, purpose, and to be able to find the truth in the world that is coming at you at a thousand miles an hour.
00:31:24.440 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:31:27.180 So we just got off the phone with one doctor who is working hard now to make sure that laws are overturned or reestablished, if you will, for doctors having a difference of opinion and still being able to be a doctor.
00:31:54.100 For instance, a doctor who disagrees with treatments, as long as he's not doing harm, what is your problem?
00:32:05.500 You know, we have the arrogance in these medical boards now, in these medical schools, that if you won't perform abortions because you think it's wrong, you're not going to get accepted in medical school.
00:32:16.300 If you don't agree with gender therapy, which is a theory, and I think a dangerous one, you can't get into medical school.
00:32:27.960 You won't go down with the pronouns. 0.81
00:32:29.660 You don't get into medical school.
00:32:30.800 This is insane.
00:32:33.040 We have to have disagreement, opposition in all things.
00:32:39.080 It sharpens the knife.
00:32:41.220 It sharpens our skills and our thinking.
00:32:45.660 Dr. Eric Henson is with us now.
00:32:48.440 He's an ear, nose and throat specialist.
00:32:50.940 He's had his license suspended here in Texas because of a 2020 mask mandate, but it was suspended in 23.
00:33:01.860 I don't even understand this story.
00:33:04.100 Dr. Eric Henson, welcome to the program.
00:33:06.660 Thanks, Glenn, for having me.
00:33:08.160 Sure.
00:33:08.340 So what is going on?
00:33:10.640 You didn't go with the mask mandate in 2020 because you disagreed with it, right?
00:33:18.720 Correct.
00:33:19.300 And now, three years later, they're coming to suspend your license?
00:33:26.060 Correct, yes.
00:33:26.900 In 2020, when all this was happening and the governor made the mandate that everybody should wear a mask, being an ear, nose and throat doctor, an airway specialist, essentially, I knew they didn't work.
00:33:40.780 And I've known it for decades since that's the area I work in.
00:33:44.040 And I tried to tell everybody what these things can do and that they can't stop the infection and all the diseases that will follow and that you're going to be harming people.
00:33:55.920 And I had a patient turn me in for not wearing one who, oddly enough, showed up with vertigo, most likely because she had low oxygen and high CO2. 0.62
00:34:06.620 So they subsequently sent a letter.
00:34:09.780 We went ahead and responded.
00:34:11.120 We didn't respond quick enough, not because we didn't, but because the lawyer I had at the time, his father had a hemorrhagic stroke.
00:34:18.580 So then they used that against me.
00:34:20.520 The second complaint I had was because I shook somebody's hand.
00:34:23.360 So she turned me in because I touched her and wasn't wearing the mask.
00:34:27.920 Never mind that your eyes are open and you can get the virus in just as easily there.
00:34:32.360 So with these two complaints, we went and had the discussion with the medical board and they said, well, you violated something.
00:34:41.220 And I tried to tell them, I said, this has been rescinded by the governor, as has all the violations.
00:34:47.660 And so why are we here?
00:34:51.020 And they said, well, because you did it when it was in place.
00:34:54.300 And I said, well, it doesn't matter.
00:34:55.780 They've rescinded everything, kind of like what happened with the hairdresser in Dallas.
00:35:01.060 And so I explained all the time.
00:35:04.440 And you've actually been proven to be correct.
00:35:07.480 Yes.
00:35:07.920 I mean, I assume you wear a mask when you're in surgery, right?
00:35:11.480 I do.
00:35:12.060 I do unless only when I have a chance of having body fluids enter into my mouth.
00:35:17.380 The same reason why anybody, yourself included, would protect your eyes.
00:35:22.000 And that's why we wear them.
00:35:23.520 If I'm not, then I don't have to.
00:35:25.080 And it's been proven that if you do wear masks in certain situations, you could potentially contaminate because of what masks can harbor after that, especially if you use them repeatedly.
00:35:34.820 Okay.
00:35:35.120 So what you were saying about masks turns out to be true.
00:35:39.100 And they're still coming after you.
00:35:42.060 Yes.
00:35:42.440 Even though we know now that what they were basing all of this on was false.
00:35:47.680 Exactly.
00:35:48.340 So they found me guilty.
00:35:50.000 We fought back and complained.
00:35:52.500 And then I was in a new practice just starting up.
00:35:55.600 So we were kind of on a nice edge financially.
00:35:58.520 So they, after everything was said and done, they said, well, we don't find you guilty, but you're still going to have to pay a fine.
00:36:05.320 Do CMEs, not in my specialty.
00:36:08.000 You're going to have to take the jurisprudence test.
00:36:10.620 And then they went ahead on my Texas profile, put that I was an unprofessional doctors, a doctor.
00:36:17.180 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:17.680 And, oh, yeah, for a mask, even though that I was right.
00:36:21.220 Then they also put on there that I was deceiving the public.
00:36:25.660 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:26.840 You're doomed as a doctor.
00:36:28.320 Yeah, exactly.
00:36:29.880 So now you have all this negative press, and we don't know how much we've lost.
00:36:33.780 It's probably been thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, in patients and everything.
00:36:39.500 And so I fought back against that.
00:36:41.280 Well, then they threatened to take my license right on the spot and said, well, we're going to take your license.
00:36:45.700 We're going to report you to something called the National Practitioner's Data Bank, which if insurance companies get a hold of that, then you get dropped as a carrier.
00:36:53.520 So now I have nobody coming in because no one's going to pay cash, essentially.
00:36:57.340 So now I have no way of making a living.
00:36:59.700 I was scared to death that I was going to lose not only my practice, our home, our property.
00:37:05.040 You know, I've got a family.
00:37:06.420 I've got several employees that rely on this.
00:37:09.500 Oh, boy, this sounds like a January 6th person.
00:37:12.440 So what deal did you cut?
00:37:14.440 Are you going there?
00:37:15.460 Well, yeah, what happened is, is that so I went ahead because just to try to buy myself some time to figure it out, we signed that we would do this.
00:37:23.800 And then I continued the fight.
00:37:25.560 Well, I have very little time to do because we're trying to keep the practice open.
00:37:29.880 So essentially, I didn't do any of the CMEs.
00:37:33.100 I did some of the CMEs by default.
00:37:35.600 And then I didn't do the JP exam.
00:37:39.000 So as of Tuesday, they wanted to know why I didn't do it.
00:37:43.240 I explained it.
00:37:44.060 They deliberated for a few minutes, came back and said, we're going to suspend your license immediately, which puts me right back into the same situation.
00:37:51.540 I find it fascinating, though, that this is being done in Texas.
00:37:55.900 And I haven't heard from I haven't heard from Governor Abbott.
00:37:59.500 I haven't heard from the attorney attorney general.
00:38:01.560 I haven't heard from the lieutenant governor, which, again, if I was in another state, I'd understand.
00:38:06.460 But this is Texas.
00:38:08.460 And I'm having a really, really hard time understanding how this could happen here.
00:38:14.060 Well, we're going to reach out to the attorney general of Texas.
00:38:17.160 He's a he's a friend of ours and and usually on top of things like this.
00:38:22.100 And we'll get an answer for you.
00:38:24.640 Oh, I appreciate that, because he's actually written several times, several areas in Texas have written to him.
00:38:30.580 And he says you can't go above and beyond what the original fine was, which was a thousand dollars.
00:38:36.380 And that's when it was in place.
00:38:38.160 And but when Governor Abbott rescinded all the penalties and all his orders, they should have been wiped clean.
00:38:45.220 And it hasn't.
00:38:46.600 But I've been very fortunate now that we have, you know, an incredible, you know, legal team that is actually stepped up to the plate.
00:38:55.340 And it's it's it's been great.
00:38:57.740 So, you know, very, very excited about about this.
00:39:02.440 And the lawyer that's fighting tooth and nail, his name is Paul Davis, and he's just gone out of his way.
00:39:09.580 One of his assistants, Amy, has just been phenomenal.
00:39:13.720 But it's I don't get why this is happening.
00:39:16.540 So now I've got to worry about my practice all over again.
00:39:19.820 You know, just the fear of it alone, whether or not I've had two of my employees came up to me and said, do we have to find a home?
00:39:26.500 I've got I'm a single mom.
00:39:28.240 I've got to feed.
00:39:29.220 I've got to feed my, you know, my daughter.
00:39:31.320 You know, this is this is frightening.
00:39:34.580 And what's more important is none of the patients in my practice ever, ever became sick for me not wearing a mask.
00:39:43.940 Not one of them.
00:39:44.800 I took care of people all over the country during this by using hydroxy, by using ivermectin, by using the supplements that we know work.
00:39:52.800 I'm exceedingly well read in ancient medicines.
00:39:56.720 And I do believe in alternative medicines, even though I'm a surgeon.
00:39:59.680 And yet here we are.
00:40:02.000 And I'm dealing with this almost this theocracy.
00:40:06.220 It's it's just one sided.
00:40:08.000 And I wouldn't have expected in Texas.
00:40:09.400 That was one of the reasons we moved here.
00:40:11.540 Where did you move from?
00:40:12.220 I mean, well, we were originally in Florida.
00:40:14.920 Then we went to Alabama and, you know, there wasn't enough work there.
00:40:19.420 So we ended up here and I thought this is perfect.
00:40:23.180 I'm in East Texas.
00:40:24.680 You know, I'm the only ENT in this area.
00:40:27.480 I don't know what my patients are going to do.
00:40:29.480 I take care of fairly sick people from allergies to cancer patients.
00:40:33.240 And so we're you know, we're trying to get this where we can still see patients while we work through this.
00:40:38.380 So it's the medical board is putting a lot of patients in harm's way.
00:40:44.420 So I'm hoping is the this is Texas medical board.
00:40:48.340 So is that a part of the state?
00:40:49.960 Do you know?
00:40:51.240 I believe they are.
00:40:52.280 Yes, they're under the purview of the governor.
00:40:54.380 And I'm assuming the lieutenant governor and the the attorney general, if they were to go into court with us, then they would be the ones handling it.
00:41:06.540 But, yes, they're under that.
00:41:08.440 So there's a direct there's a direct link to, you know, the governor or the attorney general being involved in this.
00:41:15.300 And what's interesting, Glenn, I have never in 25 plus years ever had anything ever said about me ever until I came to Texas.
00:41:26.940 I've never seen this.
00:41:28.600 And this is over a mask.
00:41:30.440 You're going to take my only way of supporting myself, my wife and all my employees away over a mask because I didn't fulfill what they what they deem necessary.
00:41:41.480 We have found out that, you know, what they imposed, they can't.
00:41:45.920 But I still have to fight it.
00:41:47.220 But, you know, they knew what they were doing.
00:41:49.340 I'm going to put a call into our our AG and to the governor's office, because I have to tell you, you like if you're if this is happening to you in Texas over a mask.
00:41:59.740 It is.
00:42:00.840 I mean, what the hell is Texas stand for?
00:42:02.880 I mean, you should have stayed in Florida.
00:42:05.160 Well, and that's just it.
00:42:06.520 And what's even more going?
00:42:08.180 And this is this is the I think this is just a very it's me at this time.
00:42:12.860 But it's going to what else are they going to know to go?
00:42:16.060 They will scare doctors into doing whatever they want, because if you already are, they already are with this gender crap. 1.00
00:42:24.180 They already are.
00:42:25.740 OK, let me give you a couple of things if you're listening.
00:42:29.480 Well, if you're not listening, then I'm not talking to you.
00:42:32.440 But anyway, to call the Texas Medical Board and to say, hey, you know, leave this alone with Dr.
00:42:40.960 Eric Henson, you can call 800-248-4062, 800-248-4062.
00:42:49.380 You also have gets give send go.
00:42:52.180 I guess you just go to give send go dot com and you just search for the support for Dr.
00:42:57.380 Eric Henson.
00:42:58.140 Uh, sounds like he could use some support.
00:43:02.440 You have legal good legal representation.
00:43:05.280 We do.
00:43:06.260 Like I said, Paul has been outstanding.
00:43:10.340 Paul Davis has been outstanding.
00:43:12.380 And they have absolutely ferreted out everything on this.
00:43:17.580 Um, we just, you know, unfortunately I have to raise money because I've been battling this for going on three years and it's drained the, the, all of our accounts.
00:43:27.480 And so I, I have some very nice patients who have come and helped us.
00:43:32.660 Um, one of the gentlemen I work with who I'm sure, you know, uh, Stephen Petty, who is, I consider the number one, uh, industrial hygienist in, in, in the, uh, in the country has stepped up.
00:43:44.380 He's going to be our, um, our, our, our expert, um, uh, for this because it's, it's, it's just preposterous.
00:43:51.720 We are hurting people.
00:43:52.940 These things cause cancer.
00:43:54.660 They cause infections.
00:43:56.280 And it's beyond me how this has gotten this out of hand.
00:44:00.100 I don't think Greg Abbott ever meant for this to happen.
00:44:02.320 I really don't.
00:44:03.140 I just think that we have a department, uh, the Texas medical board that is out of control and to have this done is, is, is just ridiculous.
00:44:13.040 Give send go.com, uh, support Dr. Eric Henson.
00:44:18.120 Uh, and also let me give you the number for the Texas medical board.
00:44:21.940 One more time.
00:44:22.440 It's 800-248-4062.
00:44:25.800 We're going to delve into this, um, a bit, doctor, and, and, uh, I'll get an answer from the attorney general on why he's, why he's not, um, straightening this out.
00:44:37.420 I, if I could ask a favor, and I don't know if anybody's ever done this, but, uh, Mr. Davis, uh, and also Bob Hall, who I'm sure, you know.
00:44:45.900 Yes, Senator.
00:44:46.620 He's a state Senator.
00:44:47.500 Yeah.
00:44:47.840 Uh, Senator Hall has gone out of his way for me.
00:44:50.440 He is, he has fought with the Texas medical board on several occasions to try to get all of this taken care of, not only for myself, but other physicians.
00:44:57.660 But I would, if possible, I would love to have him on your show along with Paul Davis so they could explain the legal aspects of what I'm up against.
00:45:06.020 I just think that everybody needs to know this and that let doctors know out there that there are people fighting for us.
00:45:13.020 Um, and you know, that, that we can practice the way we are.
00:45:16.480 Uh, medicine is an art is as much as it is as a science.
00:45:21.540 Thank you so much, doctor.
00:45:22.700 Appreciate him.
00:45:23.420 Doctor.
00:45:23.800 Thank you.
00:45:24.180 Dark air.
00:45:24.880 Dr. Eric Henson.
00:45:26.960 Give send go.com.
