00:00:00.000Hey everybody, Stu's back. We talk a little bit about the weird Super Bowl experience that he had, where he was just drunk and spreading coronavirus to all the CNN people.
00:00:13.580So, we have a little bit on that. Also, some really disturbing news from the IMF, and it revolves a little bit around the new passport that everybody's talking about now, at least in the circles of the elite.
00:00:31.020We've got to have some coronavirus vaccination passport. It goes deeper than that. How are you going to get a loan?
00:00:38.520Then, IMF has solved this, and it's a little frightening. Also, what is happening to the California schools on ethnic-based training?
00:00:49.300And the woman with Gorilla Glue in her hair. Hello, paging Dr. Darwin, Dr. Charles Darwin. All of that on today's podcast.
00:00:58.720You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:13.740I pray that my voice is heard for what I'm trying to say, and not what people want to hear on either side.
00:01:28.780It is really important that you pay attention to the news, and I know a lot of people in my own life that are not paying attention to the news, and they've been really tired.
00:01:41.920And I'm going to tell you a story a little later on about how Facebook has decided now they're not going to cover as much political stuff.
00:01:47.440Oh, really? So, when we're talking about 52 executive orders, you don't want to talk about political stuff.
00:01:53.880It's going to be harder to pay attention, and things are going to get more and more complex, and it's going to be harder to understand what's going on because it is so foreign to us.
00:02:05.080Tonight, I am covering this activity now that is, I think, the new McCarthy era.
00:02:18.740How to deprogram America's extremists.
00:02:23.880The writer has called for keeping extremists out of the institutions where they could do the greatest damage, like the military, police departments, and legislatures, and providing help for those who have embraced dangerous ideologies.
00:02:37.820You notice they don't put those in schools.
00:02:40.740It's the police departments, the military, and legislature, but they don't even mention EDU.
00:02:44.980And I think that's because they know no one with a dangerous ideology, i.e. conservative point of view, is in EDU or ever going to get through EDU.
00:02:59.380Now, it is unclear as to who will determine what is dangerous ideology and what will constitute such a defining term, but that's where big tech comes in.
00:03:10.500The article continues to say, online platforms are unwavering in their commitment to root out conspiracy theories and lies that undermine the faith in democracy.
00:03:30.740The article says, banning President Trump from Twitter was a major asset in the fight to slow or reverse radicalization.
00:03:40.560The Axios article calls for a Marshall Plan, which would be implemented throughout Facebook and Twitter through censorship.
00:03:49.880It claims the United States requires, quoting, an all-out national effort to dismantle all ideas that supposedly undermine faith in democracy.
00:04:02.800It seems the writer of the newsletter doesn't understand the word democracy, or maybe they do, and they don't understand that we're a republic.
00:05:03.080But what is failing us now is our republic.
00:05:05.860Do you believe on either side, Republicans or Democrats, that your elected congresspeople really, truly are reflecting what you and people in the country actually believe?
00:05:21.360Are they carrying out the things that you believe are right and righteous for this country?
00:06:34.880The New York Times just last year started to refer to me, it used to say, a known, a well-known conspiracy theorist or an alleged conspiracy theorist.
00:06:48.160Now it's just Glenn Beck, comma, conspiracy theorist.
00:06:53.120I told you yesterday that the IMF had an academic paper out and they are suggesting now that non-financial data should be used when financial institutions discern, determine customers credit worthiness for loans, various kinds.
00:07:13.840By non-financial data, that means things like the type of browser and hardware that you use to access the internet, the history, I'm quoting, the history of online searches and purchases.
00:07:28.720So what kind of computer and phone I have and the past purchases and what I'm reading, what websites I'm going to.
00:07:37.860I want to just read, go over, we went over this yesterday, but I want to go over it because there's new news.
00:07:46.420The most transformative information innovation is the increase of the new types of data coming from the digital footprint of customers' various online activities, mainly for credit worthiness analysis.
00:08:00.080Credit scoring using so-called hard information, income, employment, time, assets, and debts is nothing new.
00:08:06.180Typically, the more data is available, the more accurate is the assessment.
00:08:13.120First, hard information tends to be pro-cyclical.
00:08:16.220It boosts credit expansions in good times, but exacerbates contraction during downturns.
00:08:21.760The second most complex problem is a certain kinds of people like new entrepreneurs, innovators, many informal workers might not have enough hard data available,
00:08:32.480as well as even a well-paid expatriate moving to the United States can be caught in the conundrum of not getting a credit card for lack of credit.
00:08:41.820FinTech, financial tech, resolves the dilemma by tapping various non-financial data, the type of browser hardware used, yada, yada, yada.
00:08:49.700This, of course, is a financial social credit system.
00:08:57.520We have been warning about this for years.
00:09:02.760This is one of the most dangerous parts of what is being called the Great Reset, and this is just the beginning.
00:09:09.940In the same article from the IMF later, the same authors then say the central banks need to get more directly involved in economic activity
00:09:21.660and that more money printing in downturns is likely going to be necessary.
00:09:27.980The environment I'm quoting from the article, the environment for monetary policy will change to new monetary policy transmission channels will be need to be fully understood
00:09:38.300as the new players make banks less relevant for the financial system.
00:09:43.480Central banks may need to adjust their monetary policy implementation toolbox,
00:09:48.760potentially allowing non-bank access to liquidity lines and incorporating them in their operations.
00:09:55.100Okay, so that's what I told you about yesterday.
00:09:57.980Do you remember when Cuomo told the banks in New York,
00:10:05.040you can give loans to gun manufacturers, but if you do, there's just going to be more regulations on you guys,
00:10:12.200and we're going to have to have more state inspectors because we just think there's something wrong with these gun manufacturers and gun stores.
00:10:19.920We think, you know, that there's some violation of some law.
00:10:23.700So, you know, we're not telling you not to loan.
00:10:26.460We're just saying that it's going to make your, you know, state assessments every year.
00:10:34.900It's going to be more and more difficult for you because we just don't trust the people who are dealing in guns.
00:12:15.700There's an alternate universe out there in which we never have to ponder, let alone read unmasked provocateur.
00:12:21.660Andy knows supremely dishonest book on the left-wing anti-fascist movement known as Antifa.
00:12:27.960In that other world, far, far away, Marjorie Taylor Greene remains a nutty CrossFit enthusiast, uh, enthusiast from Georgia, not a member of Congress.
00:12:37.440And we know nothing about our musings on Jewish space lasers, the execution of Democrats or false flag school closings.
00:12:45.140If you find that universe, please send directions.
00:12:48.480So they say that your book is part of that universe.
00:12:53.820Andy, can you respond to some of the charges in this?
00:13:04.200So, uh, I'm not surprised by, uh, the ad hominem attacks in this, uh, review that was published in the LA Times.
00:13:14.180Uh, I wrote my book, as you recall, about the useful ideas and fellow travelers for Antifa in journalism.
00:13:22.080And I would include this writer as part of that.
00:13:25.080Um, I was, as a journalist myself, I was just surprised that, um, the really unprofessional inductives that he used against me, considering he works as the White House correspondent for the Yahoo Doos.
00:13:39.720So, um, it was very, quite despicable, uh, doesn't really counter any of my arguments.
00:13:46.860Instead, there's a line where he said that I wouldn't make, uh, Harold Goebbels proud.
00:13:52.320Um, he says my book is, he compares my book to, uh, what the Nazis did and their propaganda.
00:14:00.380It's a very disgusting, nasty, um, smears, as you would, uh, expect to see on a blog, not by somebody who works as a White House correspondent for a news site.
00:14:12.620So, let me give you a couple of things.
00:14:15.340Um, Andy, no, is singularly focused on inflating Antifa's importance in his black-clad, white whale, his Mark-spouting Moby Dick.
00:14:27.640Do you believe you're inflating their importance in what's going on?
00:14:33.380And this writer, Alexander Nazarian, he probably wouldn't think that either if he ended up in a hospital with a brain hemorrhage by Antifa.
00:14:41.260Well, let me give you what he says about that.
00:14:44.300No claimed that he was, uh, that a milkshake was thrown on him and it contained concrete, but far more likely it was a vegan blend heavy on cashew butter.
00:15:00.920So he doesn't say it was, he said it was more likely.
00:15:04.540Can you tell me, Andy, do you know the difference between concrete and cashew butter?
00:15:08.240I think he's trying to downplay my injuries.
00:15:11.880Um, if he had doubt about my, uh, diagnosis, he could have reached out to me and I would have provided the documentation from the hospital so he could see.
00:15:20.960And he could look at the CT scan as well.
00:15:24.340I don't think he, I think he knows that it wasn't.
00:15:27.040He wrote, no, was punched and kicked as well.
00:15:29.840He claims to have suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
00:15:35.820So, I mean, doesn't he know better than you?
00:15:38.720Because what he goes on right after he says, what goes unmentioned is that no had a history of embedding with right wing groups.
00:15:47.180I don't know what that has to do with your claim of a cerebral hemorrhage, but he says you had a history of embedding with right wing groups, including according to persuasive allegations he has denied.
00:15:58.740Yeah, so he's picking up these smears that were printed in a local publication in Portland where a, one of the far left reporters there had interviewed somebody who was given a pseudonym.
00:16:22.980And he was an Antifa person who claims to have embedded in Patriot Prayer and put out this absolutely false claim that I had a partnership with Patriot Prayer for mutual protection.
00:16:36.980Now, my lawyer ended up writing a letter to the publication asking them to retract it because these were lies.
00:16:43.620They chose not to, and they're protecting the identity of this anonymous person if he even exists.
00:16:49.600And so I can't even confront my accuser, and then that smear gets laundered into bigger and bigger publications like a Wikipedia page, like the LA Times Review.
00:17:01.540You've been in the media spotlight for years and years.
00:17:05.260So they do this type of stuff to try to, they slip these stuff in that has nothing to do with the book to try to discredit and smear in the most disgusting of ways.
00:17:16.020He says, distortions and untruths hover like flies around every shred of confirmable fact.
00:17:24.980The same section of a mask that ends with no statements on the United States portrays a mid-November stop the steal rally in Washington as peaceful and celebratory with no mention of the Proud Boys amassed there.
00:17:40.440The counter-protesters, meanwhile, are a marauding gang.
00:17:44.880The nation's top mainstream Antifa scholar, Mark Bray, wrote in the Washington Post that Antifa is not an organization.
00:17:53.740Rather, it is a politics of revolutionary opposition to the far right.
00:17:59.100So that line where he quotes from Mark Bray is particularly telling because Mark Bray, as I write in my book, is an Antifa extremist who works in academe.
00:18:14.000His Antifa handbook, which is what he's most infamous for, actually raises funds for the Antifa International Defense Fund.
00:18:23.360So I don't know how he can criticize me for being biased or whatever, and then he's quoting from somebody who's actually part of Antifa as a sort of legitimate historian perspective.
00:18:37.420He continues, the right is always reminding us that facts don't care about your feelings, so let us set out some facts.
00:18:45.840Andy Ngo writes that the numbers and influence of right-wing extremists are grossly exaggerated by biased media,
00:18:52.900while Antifa poses just as much, if not more, of a threat to the future of American liberal democracy.
00:18:59.020He frequently references last summer's anti-racist protest, conveniently alighting the point that 93% of those were peaceful, according to a study from Princeton.
00:19:12.100A brief published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, hardly a lefty outlet,
00:19:17.660found that Antifa had a minor role in what violence did occur, most of which was driven by local autonomous actors,
00:19:25.680and that organization's threat was relatively small.
00:19:30.540January 6th, the minister, the coup de grace, to No's already teetering thesis,
00:19:35.720it should not have taken this long, however, Trump's own Department of Homeland Security warned last October
00:19:40.620that white supremacist extremists would remain the most persistent and lethal threat to the American homeland.
00:19:47.980Yeah, so I hear that, I mean, that 93% were peaceful, it's another way of saying mostly peaceful.
00:19:56.860What does it matter if it's 93% peaceful if the other 7% resulted in several dozen deaths,
00:20:03.780the destruction of countless livelihoods, damages of billions to our economy?
00:20:10.620And as for, I don't know why he's downplaying the role of the Antifa, as you read in my book,
00:20:17.680as he said earlier in the review, in meticulous detail, I outline how in some major American cities,
00:20:23.940like Portland and Seattle, Antifa, have the principal role in organizing the riots.
00:20:30.100And so, I mean, this seems, again, it's going back to what many journalists and mainstream media do,
00:20:36.380to always deflect from the extremism on the far left to go to the bogeyman that they have on the far right.
00:20:44.720I don't argue that the far right doesn't exist.
00:20:47.400I'm arguing that the Antifa and the far left are also a threat.
00:20:51.520And here, as I lay out in an entire book, this is what they actually did.
00:21:41.280I came out on my own, and I was interviewed, and I've always maintained that I was never forced.
00:21:47.780And I wasn't begrudgingly required to say what I said either.
00:21:51.880But I think these people, they want to paint a character of who I am.
00:21:58.720They think that I am this, as this review writer illustrates elsewhere, that I'm this really wicked fascist propagandist who's taking tactics from the Third Reich in my propaganda.
00:22:13.200And they're really surprised if I manage to tell the truth.
00:22:18.280I mean, it's a disgrace that the editor ran this piece in the way it is.
00:22:25.120You know, I can accept criticisms for my writings, my analysis, et cetera.
00:22:29.020But describing me in such disgusting terms to people who, to a political party that was involved for genocide and Holocaust, like, that's, it's too bad that that is a norm to be expected in our cases of legacy.
00:22:48.420Andy, I appreciate it, and I wanted to give you the chance, because I think, personally, that kind of advertising you can't buy.
00:22:57.900When somebody like that does such a hatchet job on you, it just makes me want to buy your book even more.
00:23:04.760And the book is called Unmasked by Andy Ngo.
00:23:09.380It is the book that pretends Antifa is the real enemy.
00:23:16.840You can find that wherever you buy your books.
