00:00:00.000
All right, Monday's podcast, boy, it's a good one today.
00:00:03.600
I just got back from CPAC, and I look at the president and his speeches in a totally different light.
00:00:11.980
I really learned a lot this weekend watching him and the crowd, what I discovered at CPAC coming up in this podcast.
00:00:21.200
Also, I had the nerve to say that Bernie Sanders and his version of socialism, which is communism, might be a danger.
00:00:33.640
Plus, the recap of what happened over the weekend, who's in, who's out, Buttigieg, and what's happening tomorrow all around the country for Super Tuesday, our coronavirus update,
00:00:44.560
and why Dr. Robert Epstein says that forget Russia, forget Russia with Google and Facebook.
00:00:53.240
The Republicans cannot win in 2020 unless all on today's podcast.
00:01:06.980
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:14.560
So, I don't know if you saw this, Stu, but Yahoo News and, what's the other one?
00:01:25.320
They've been just writing horrible stories about me at CPAC.
00:01:29.900
And I really want to get into this because it's all from Media Matters.
00:01:36.220
Trump ally cheered by Republicans for speech claiming Bernie Sanders' presidency would lead to another holocaust.
00:01:48.940
Glenn Beck, a former Fox News pundit and an ally to Donald Trump.
00:01:56.100
Wow, that's the first time I've been called an ally.
00:02:01.200
Was cheered on by Republicans during a conference in which he claimed Bernie Sanders' presidency would lead to another holocaust.
00:02:07.920
An incendiary speech full of false claims and misinformation.
00:02:13.800
Now, this is the way misinformation and disinformation spread.
00:02:19.300
Instead, you write a piece for Yahoo News and you make the claim full of false claims and misinformation and then not go over any of those things.
00:02:32.460
Not actually say what that really was and take the speech apart.
00:02:43.780
It was like the Yahoo News room is bustling at this point in the company's trajectory.
00:02:49.880
So I don't know if they'll have time for that one.
00:02:52.120
So full of false claims and misinformation delivered to the annual CPAC conference, Mr. Beck compared Sanders and his supporters to Bolsheviks.
00:03:05.320
Warning a violent revolution could or should the Democratic Socialists assume office.
00:03:13.380
Yeah, just because that's what his supporters are saying.
00:03:18.600
They're Marxist revolutionaries who believe in nothing short of complete overthrow of the United States and destruction of the Constitution and the free market system.
00:03:26.820
Beck told an audience of activists at the White House and White House officials at CPAC.
00:03:32.960
And please, let's stop calling them Bernie bros because they're not my brother.
00:03:45.240
And their revolution will result in death and misery, another whole of a whole of more, another Holocaust or whatever we call the next great socialist atrocity.
00:03:55.960
Mr. Beck also suggested that Mr. Sanders followers, who he falsely claimed are armed with pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails and guns are worse than the Nazis.
00:04:06.140
And I didn't say they were worse than the Nazis.
00:04:07.820
I said there that we have it worse than our grandparents did, because our grandparents in World War Two, it was clear what evil was.
00:04:23.840
Now we're looking at Bernie Sanders and he's just funny.
00:04:34.820
We're laughing at these Bolsheviks who are indeed arming themselves with pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails.
00:04:50.640
I will say, too, there was a lot of laughing about the Nazis before the Nazis turned into what we now know the Nazis were.
00:04:56.860
When they were early on, they were very much jokes and were mocked all over the world, including by the United States and Britain and all the people who wound up taking them very seriously later on.
00:05:10.660
I just want to say to both the Daily Beast and Yahoo News, first of all, two stories isn't widely condemned.
00:05:23.880
Any story I have read was rip and read from media matters.
00:05:31.980
Second thing I want to say is tell me what tell me what the lies were.
00:05:39.680
So you actually said that if it's like there will be another Holocaust.
00:05:48.800
I said these are revolutionaries and if they get into office, their social, their Marxist revolution will lead to the destruction because what they're saying and I'm not talking about Bernie Sanders saying this.
00:06:03.160
I'm talking about all the people that are in his I can't even say all I shouldn't say that almost all of the people in his campaign and the ones that have been shown by Project Veritas.
00:06:20.800
They are talking about killing 20 million people.
00:06:24.760
They can't they can't fact check you on that, though, because that means they'd have to mention the Project Veritas thing, which they've all dutifully ignored, ignored, ignored, which is great.
00:06:35.740
And they've also ignored that they still work there.
00:06:38.400
And they've also ignored all of the people who are currently paid highest level of the Bernie Sanders campaign that were over and they were consulting the former Communist Party of East Germany.
00:06:52.600
I mean, they're they are with the communists all over Europe and they are consulting with them.
00:07:12.900
Let me tell you about in fact, let me take a quick break early because I want to talk to you about what I discovered about Donald Trump.
00:07:19.160
I'm sitting in the front row of CPAC while Donald Trump is giving his speech and I see him and his speeches in an entirely different light.
00:07:36.440
Now, I saw him in 2016 speak and I saw him live and it just wasn't the same as it is now.
00:07:46.440
And I have learned so much from what I I think another door of understanding has opened up for me.
00:07:56.820
And I've looked I look at him and those speeches, which I've always been like, oh, please don't know.
00:08:05.100
I look at him entirely different after actually sitting and being there.
00:08:12.380
If you even if you don't like Donald Trump, you just want to understand Donald Trump.
00:08:19.680
You will understand him in a completely new way.
00:08:35.100
I was at CPAC this weekend and I understand the president more clearly than I think I ever have.
00:08:47.740
I have missed his secret sauce, you know, and I think a lot of people are like this.
00:08:55.800
Who like the president, but they're like, I wish he would stop tweeting.
00:08:58.820
And I've come to this place to where I do wish he would stop tweeting, but I don't think we would be where we are in a good way if it wasn't for his tweeting.
00:09:07.840
So I'm kind of torn on it because it's his tweets that drive that expose everything.
00:09:14.040
It drives the left so crazy that they don't know what to do.
00:09:19.820
And so they just they prove him right all the time.
00:09:23.880
So while I would like to get rid of his Twitter feed, I would not like to get rid of his Twitter feed at the same time.
00:09:31.820
The other thing, like when I saw him at the State of the Union, that was a well crafted speech that was really good.
00:09:43.980
And if you remember, right, I said to him, if he was that or I said to you that if he was that guy from now until 2020, he'd win.
00:09:58.860
I haven't been to one of his rallies since 2016, and I went to one of his rallies, but I went to his rally before he had the the seal on front and on the stage and before he had any track record.
00:10:16.160
So I didn't believe the things that he was saying he was going to do.
00:10:23.540
You know, he's like, and this is the greatest weather pattern in the history since the dinosaurs.
00:10:36.760
Here's what I here's what I learned watching him.
00:10:42.040
Donald Trump has mastered this thing, and it's genuine.
00:10:48.020
He has mastered this thing with his supporters that.
00:10:54.740
He's the president of the United States, and yet he's not.
00:11:01.460
Imagine the president of the United States is your best friend.
00:11:08.060
And you would expect the president, you know, you would call him Mr.
00:11:12.320
And if you were in public, he might even say, don't call me.
00:11:20.480
But people around him would go, please, when you're in public, please call him Mr.
00:11:24.400
And you probably would because he's the president of the United States.
00:11:28.080
But when you're in his living room above the, you know, White House and you're just the two of you, you'd be sitting on the couch and you'd be like, OK, let me tell you what I really let me tell you what really happened.
00:11:45.260
And he'd be watching stuff and you'd be like, OK, so what did you really think about the debate?
00:12:02.340
He's your best friend who happens to be president.
00:12:09.600
It's I've heard people say it is the best entertainment in America.
00:12:20.220
You're seeing one of the best shows I've ever seen.
00:12:25.300
And here's another reason why not only is he genuine in those things, he is genuinely funny.
00:12:33.640
When you see him in little clips, you don't you don't get it when you watch it on TV.
00:12:42.220
But when you're sitting there and you're watching him.
00:12:47.780
I have I've I've known he was a good performer, but I have to tell you.
00:12:52.480
I think he has some of the best comedic to Netflix.
00:12:57.460
They gave the what was it billion dollars or a hundred million dollars to the wrong president.
00:13:04.180
They gave a hundred million dollars for Barack Obama to make a bunch of documentaries that nobody's going to watch.
00:13:11.280
What I saw at CPAC was one of the best and I say one of because I can think of two others that are on par.
00:13:20.220
It was one of the best Netflix comedy specials I've ever seen.
00:13:30.180
And I thought that I don't know, I just didn't give him enough credit to be that kind of performer.
00:13:43.040
He was and I know he was because the guy who was sitting next to me was like, he's looking at you, man, because he would do something and it would be really, really funny.
00:13:53.680
And he just kind of glance over and look at me and kind of smile like I know what I'm doing.
00:14:21.260
I've never seen anyone as comfortable in their own skin as him.
00:14:26.340
Because I watched him walk off stage and I could see him walk off in the back.
00:14:56.120
I was close enough to really watch his body language.
00:14:59.940
The guy is more comfortable in his skin and who he is than anyone I think I've ever seen.
00:15:20.280
And he's he you know, if you understand the mindset that the people who voted for him
00:15:26.080
and the people who will vote for him are sick of being told one thing and then they do another.
00:15:34.880
His speeches when he's giving and he's going off the the prompter.
00:15:39.880
It was weird because watching him on television, you're like stick to the prompter, stick to the prompter, stick to the prompter.
00:15:52.140
You don't care what he's saying on the prompter.
00:15:55.020
It's because he he wore the guy sitting next to me said, this guy's in his 70s.
00:16:03.420
I'm exhausted from the 90 minutes because, first of all, you feel like you're in Catholic church.
00:16:09.080
You're up and down and up and down and up and down.
00:16:11.920
It's not like the it's not like the stupid state of the union speech where it's like, oh, sit down, shut up.
00:16:21.860
You're up and down and up and down and up and down and you're laughing so hard.
00:16:27.020
And when he goes back to the speech, you're like, OK, I don't really have to pay attention here.
00:16:48.480
Barack Obama didn't have those crowds because he was an image of something and he gave these beautiful speeches.
00:17:01.000
You didn't want to hang out with Barack Obama and he didn't have anything.
00:17:05.040
There's this air of discovery with this president to where you're.
00:17:11.300
You wanted someone who was consistent, who would blow the system up.
00:17:16.640
And so he's telling you, OK, here's what I really did this weekend.
00:17:31.640
You can feel very alone doing these kinds of jobs.
00:17:35.520
And there's lots of people that do these jobs and they'll feel very alone.
00:17:38.680
No one is more alone than the president of the United States.
00:17:41.000
No one, especially since no other president wants to talk to him.
00:17:44.700
You know, they always say, at least I have, you know, I can talk to the other presidents and they get together.
00:17:49.320
Nobody wants nobody says nobody says buddy, no one.
00:17:52.760
And he is a legendarily small circle even for a president.
00:18:02.520
And when he said that, I was looking at the president thinking this guy could go another three hours.
00:18:10.080
Now, genetically, there's something going on with him.
00:18:25.460
There's something weird happening with him in a good way.
00:18:31.880
The the thing, though, that I noticed because I'm like this and I know others.
00:18:42.720
When you and I see each other, you might get something out of the speech and you may be like, oh, that was fun.
00:18:50.880
But I can guarantee you, I get more from you than you get from me because I get recharged.
00:18:59.660
The president is hanging out with his friends at those rallies.
00:19:22.380
And he's living in a pretty friendless world right now.
00:19:41.180
He's letting you in and he's pulling the curtain back and he's like, everybody thinks they're all that.
00:20:06.100
He took a, you know, pro poll and he's like, let me just take a poll.
00:20:17.520
I don't even know who he is or why he's running.
00:20:21.980
I mean, he went through all of them and he said, I'm only going to ask you about two people, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
00:20:27.760
He said, I want you to cheer if you think it would be the easiest to beat Joe Biden.
00:20:35.480
Now, those who think I should run against Bernie Sanders because you think he'd be the easiest to beat.
00:20:44.260
And all I kept thinking was, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:48.640
It's such a, we've had this conversation on the air a bunch of times of which one you'd root for.
00:20:52.960
And it's tough because I do understand the argument that Sanders is the guy because I think he would be maybe the easiest one to beat.
00:21:01.000
However, if you lose, the ramifications are considerably worse.
00:21:07.440
And that's the thing that I keep coming back to is that like, you know, like coronavirus is a great example.
00:21:11.940
I don't think that's going to turn into something that, that changes the election.
00:21:15.800
But something like that, that is completely out of the control of the president could change the election and make the other person win.
00:21:23.140
And if that other person is Bernie Sanders, you've got a socialist president of the United States.
00:21:27.340
But I will tell you that I, I, um, uh, I think that it is interesting to see, um, the way the president dealt with all of these people over the weekend.
00:21:41.640
Uh, and, uh, I really, I want to see if I can get CPAC to give me the video.
00:21:46.740
Cause I want to, I want to edit it into like a 25 or 30 minute comedy special because I think he was brilliant, truly brilliant.
00:21:57.340
If he was any other president, he would get an Emmy for these because they're TV specials.
00:22:04.740
He would get an Emmy for, uh, best comedic actor.
00:22:09.260
I really underestimated, uh, his calculation and his skill.
00:22:19.040
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:37.300
We welcome to the program, uh, Mr. Charlie Kirk, uh, Charlie, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:42.380
Tell me the name of your book that is coming out.
00:22:44.360
Not that you don't know this called the mega, the, the MAGA doctrine.
00:22:56.980
In case you don't know who Charlie is, he's founder and president of turning point USA,
00:23:00.200
which is this phenomenal group, uh, that is spreading not only all over college campuses
00:23:06.200
and high schools all over America, but literally all over the world.
00:23:09.980
It is remarkable, Charlie, what you have, uh, put together.
00:23:13.940
Um, you know, I want to talk a little bit about the book, but I want to get into some specifics,
00:23:18.060
uh, with you that are a little different, but, um, let me, uh, first get your, your call
00:23:24.080
on Super Tuesday and what happened in South Carolina.
00:23:26.940
Yeah, it's fascinating, Glenn, and thanks so much for having me on.
00:23:31.900
Um, Bloomberg might be one of the worst politicians I've ever seen in American history.
00:23:37.520
And it's all about Bloomberg, in my opinion, what's happening right now, because I, like
00:23:43.380
many others, believed he would at least have some form of charisma or capacity to the audience.
00:23:53.080
And, and it seems as if, you know, money can buy you a lot.
00:23:56.940
But it cannot buy you, you know, charisma, and it can't buy you connection.
00:24:01.420
Um, and so because of that, Biden, I guess, has just become the default of the establishment
00:24:07.720
And it doesn't seem that everyone's excited to vote for Biden.
00:24:10.060
It just kind of, people are putting up their hands saying, well, I guess we'll vote for
00:24:14.560
And so you're going to see a real collision course.
00:24:16.780
You're going to see Biden, who is going to, who's very controllable by the establishment
00:24:22.500
and very, he will do what he is told by the powers to be.
00:24:27.100
And then you have Bernie Sanders, who is a true revolutionary.
00:24:32.760
He believes, uh, in Russoian, um, Hegelian Marxism, which you have detailed so brilliantly in your
00:24:45.980
And so the question is, will it go the way that it went in 2016, where Hillary used a
00:24:51.620
lot of the power levers to eventually beat Bernie in some, let's just say, questionable
00:24:59.060
I actually think that Bernie is better suited to defeat Joe Biden this go around.
00:25:04.600
But it's very obvious that the establishment is quite nervous that Bernie Sanders could be
00:25:09.880
I have a contrarian view and I actually think Bernie would be harder to run up against than
00:25:17.060
Well, you were, I, you know, I, I listened to the president's speech this weekend where
00:25:20.620
he said, you know, just a quick poll, who thinks it'd be easier to win against Biden
00:25:25.420
than who thinks it'd be easier to, and Bernie, everybody was just out of their minds saying
00:25:30.740
that this was so great that he was going to run against Bernie.
00:25:35.040
I mean, Biden has no, there's no passion behind Biden.
00:25:42.360
You don't know the game of the supporters, the passion.
00:25:47.160
And, you know, we've never seen a Bolshevik campaign for president of the United States.
00:25:52.400
We have no idea what the president could be facing.
00:25:57.580
And never underestimate how hard it is to run up against the generosity of promises that
00:26:02.980
might never have to be fulfilled and probably won't be fulfilled.
00:26:07.120
And it's rooted in divisive victimology, identity politics.
00:26:15.420
And you and I both know, Glenn, that the culture has been tilted so far in the wrong direction
00:26:20.760
towards the leftist, Marxist worldview that I think that they've been waiting for a candidate
00:26:26.340
And I do believe they would have a higher turnout.
00:26:28.360
And I do believe that it would be difficult in certain states.
00:26:33.740
But Joe Biden, he embodies the ruling class more so than any other candidate I could think of.
00:26:41.320
I would rather have President Trump ironically run as an outsider, as an incumbent president,
00:26:47.760
I would embrace that type of candidacy instead of trying to argue for the status quo, which
00:26:56.120
No, but it's really I mean, it's, you know, for people who won't put Donald Trump signs
00:27:01.680
in their yard, I'm going to start making signs.
00:27:05.520
It just says America versus socialism, because that's what it is.
00:27:10.100
And I think there are people who are like, I don't want to put a Donald Trump sign in my
00:27:13.220
yard, because but I think those people would put an America versus socialism sign in their
00:27:17.740
yard, you know, because that's what this would be about.
00:27:21.920
And that is that is a fight that I think we will win, thankfully, at this time in our
00:27:30.300
It should be a fire alarm and a wake up call to every American.
00:27:34.640
And they say, Glenn, they say, how on earth is it possible that a candidate like Bernie can
00:27:39.620
can be, you know, getting as much traction as to have you visited a
00:27:43.760
Have you seen what our government schools have been teaching these last couple decades?
00:27:53.320
And he's been proven correct that Bernie Sanders is a byproduct.
00:28:01.600
And you know what I mean by that, which is he's trying to use the worst instincts of what
00:28:08.160
would be a populist movement mixed with Marxism.
00:28:12.940
I mean, in the in the coming years in American politics, you're going to see even more talented
00:28:19.040
I mean, you look at Bernie, he's actually quite he's not very talented.
00:28:26.620
And I think there's a very interesting thought exercise for you, Glenn.
00:28:34.300
Bernie is not an Alinskyite in the sense that he does he he did that he does not embrace
00:28:40.860
the symbology or the the history of the country he's trying to take over.
00:28:49.060
And in saying that if you're trying to take over a country, do not do not attack the flag,
00:28:55.700
do not attack the songs, do not attack the history.
00:28:59.860
But a true radical disguise is to be someone who he isn't.
00:29:06.040
Um, I think Bernie is not Bernie's a true he he almost rejects the doctrine of Alinsky.
00:29:12.940
And so this should be a this should be a wake up call for everyone listening.
00:29:16.420
And it could be a, you know, a fire alarm for a broken culture and for things to come.
00:29:22.480
So I will tell you that I I sat right behind the president in his speech this weekend,
00:29:30.320
and I really watched him and I learned a lot about his connection with with people.
00:29:38.800
He's running, you know, people used to say, well, he's like the guy at the end of the bar
00:29:44.980
I think people his supporters see him as the president who's also their friend who is now
00:29:52.340
telling them and joking with them and like, this is crazy, right?
00:29:55.840
And he'll be the president when he needs to be the president.
00:30:01.460
And he's bringing the average person along with him.
00:30:05.380
And it's kind of like they're in on it together.
00:30:10.200
And I write about this in my in my book, The MAGA Doctrine.
00:30:15.360
I went to 10 Trump rallies in the course of 10 weeks when I wrote this book.
00:30:19.560
And I did it kind of on just a total fact finding mission, trying to do what journalists
00:30:23.720
wouldn't do and actually witness and see and learn.
00:30:27.100
And what I realized is exactly the point that you put forward here, Glenn, which is President
00:30:32.940
Trump does not just go to the rallies to fire up the base, which he does, but he goes to
00:30:41.440
He goes to get he wants to see what's resonating with the people out there.
00:30:45.780
He he has a very he moves more around the podium than any politician I've ever seen.
00:30:50.860
And he'll he'll do that famous kind of side view or he'll go and look in people's eyes
00:30:55.720
and say something such as I moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
00:30:59.260
And he'll say the place erupt and I'll say, OK, got it.
00:31:05.960
He walks back from the podium and then he watches.
00:31:14.700
I'm going to have to ask that question more often.
00:31:22.900
And Glenn, I'm sure you noticed this, but at that speech, did you see anyone on their
00:31:28.460
Did you see anyone texting besides taking pictures, of course?
00:31:31.920
Did you see anyone doing the normal stuff you see during speeches?
00:31:37.100
I mean, I have not seen people so focused on a speaker.
00:31:41.600
And I saw this when I went to these rallies and I wrote this book in Wisconsin and in Florida
00:31:46.380
and in Arizona, where I saw tens of thousands of people at full attention locked in on every
00:31:53.100
word the president was saying, not tweeting, not responding to text messages.
00:31:58.140
And I almost equate it to this was the president giving a shareholder report to the people that
00:32:04.660
put him into office, if you will, as if the American people are the metaphorical board
00:32:09.160
of directors that he believes he needs to continue to report back to and say, here's
00:32:23.260
You know, his speeches, he'll have the speech written.
00:32:28.520
But then it's it's almost as if he's your buddy who's the president and you're alone
00:32:40.960
You know what else this person said or this person?
00:32:43.440
And you're you're laughing and you're getting the inside scoop.
00:32:47.920
So he's more of like your friend who's also the chairman of the board.
00:32:54.400
But then afterwards, he's like, let me give you the real scoop.
00:32:59.960
I totally missed unless you're there watching him.
00:33:06.700
And I believe that this is the best example we have in my lifetime and recent American
00:33:13.200
political movements of what citizen government looks like, because, for example, if the president
00:33:18.540
comes to a Trump rally and he says something like, oh, what do you think about, you know,
00:33:23.860
Medicare for all people are upset and they're screaming and you know, OK, I don't like that.
00:33:29.920
So do you do you agree to Charlie that because your book is your book is really, really good.
00:33:36.240
I'm not going to be able to get into everything.
00:33:38.540
I know we we did a special with you Friday, the Friday night special.
00:33:48.500
It's about 45 minutes with Charlie on the book.
00:33:55.560
But the loyalty comes from him listening to them.
00:34:03.180
And and and and also he is he's not going to betray because I really think he gets so
00:34:16.400
He's it's like the only time he feels safe, I think, which is odd.
00:34:21.280
But it's the only time I think he feels safe to say what he really believes in a room where
00:34:32.780
And so he's not going to betray them because that's who he that's the only group of people
00:34:40.440
I mean, the he feels far more comfortable in front of 10,000, 15,000, 50,000 middle class
00:34:50.840
About whatever is the new creme de la creme in D.C.
00:34:57.220
I want a president who wants to spend two hours at CPAC on a Saturday, the same week
00:35:02.340
that he flew back 30 to 50 hours round trip from India to represent us abroad the same
00:35:08.860
They negotiate peace in Afghanistan and deals with what I call the China virus, not the
00:35:13.700
But he spends two hours with 5,000 middle class Americans in CPAC.
00:35:21.240
And he got more out of it because after the speech and I've been with him after speeches
00:35:29.360
And you know what he'll say is like, wow, they really love the fact that moved the embassy.
00:35:35.960
And then that that to him is reinforcement for what he's doing.
00:35:45.200
And you, you know, you really go over a lot of this in your book.
00:35:52.200
The advisors that he trusts are either his family members or mainly the people.
00:36:06.040
And from citizens, the idea of citizen government goes all the way back to the Bible, of course,
00:36:12.140
where the idea of the individual being sovereign.
00:36:15.060
But we look at who exactly is in charge of our country.
00:36:18.120
We, the people, it's all of us, the individuals.
00:36:22.600
And it's a de-emphasis on the on the intellectual, essentially the intellectual superiority of the
00:36:32.700
I absolutely love it because I believe that the overemphasis on that in the last 30 years
00:36:38.240
has actually contributed to the rise of progressivism.
00:36:41.440
And you can say a lot about President Trump, but he has slowed the rise of progressivism more
00:36:49.080
And I think for that, he deserves phenomenal, phenomenal credit.
00:36:52.320
The name of the book is The MAGA Doctrine, The Only Ideas That Will Win the Future by Charlie Kirk.
00:37:02.240
If you'd like to hear more from Charlie, just you can follow him on Twitter.
00:37:08.860
Also, we have him for the Friday night exclusive last Friday.
00:37:15.020
Really, really fascinating discussion on the strengths and the weaknesses and and how this
00:37:22.240
election is going to come down with Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk.
00:37:47.120
What you're about to hear sounds a little nuts.
00:37:50.240
Quite honestly, it sounds it sounds like a movie.
00:37:54.520
But let's remember 20 years ago, watching television on your phone while your car was
00:38:06.720
And the guy, the only guy that I know of that is really watching over is a guy who is author,
00:38:13.840
editor, longtime psychology researcher, professor, distinguished scientist.
00:38:19.260
He's the former editor in chief of psychology today, senior research psychologist at the American
00:38:26.420
Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, also the founder and director emeritus of the
00:38:33.160
Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies in Massachusetts.
00:38:36.380
He has a Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard, author of 15 books.
00:38:44.700
He is not a guy who is saying, hey, you know, Donald Trump is the greatest and they're rigging
00:38:52.700
This is a guy who actually agrees with the Democratic policies much more than anything of Donald Trump.
00:38:59.860
But he believes first and foremost in the Constitution and that every vote is actually heard and
00:39:13.020
Dr. Robert Epstein, explain you right in your in your latest article, no matter which
00:39:22.540
weak candidate the Democrats ultimately nominate, and even with Russia's help, President Donald
00:39:27.020
Trump cannot win the 2020 election for that matter.
00:39:30.580
There are in races nationwide in which the projected winning margins are small, under five percent
00:39:36.400
or so Republicans in general are likely to lose.
00:39:47.880
Well, unfortunately, those statements are not only true, I'm actually understating the gravity
00:39:56.380
of the problem to understand what's happening here.
00:39:59.820
You have to go back to to to what my Democrat friends call Armageddon Day.
00:40:14.840
You have to look at that one hour video that leaked from Google right after the election, in
00:40:23.920
which Google's top executives are saying straight out, this is a disaster.
00:40:34.700
You have to look at some of the whistleblowers who have since been fired by Google or have
00:40:41.780
And they are telling us that from that day forward, Google and to a lesser extent, the
00:40:51.640
We are going to use every single technique we have available to us to shift votes and make
00:41:02.800
Now, also, a matter of record is is meticulous scientific research I've been doing since
00:41:10.700
2013 that shows the power that these companies have to shift votes.
00:41:16.900
And I actually can calculate for each technique how many votes they can shift.
00:41:32.440
I've been stumbling on them one by one, carefully studying them with tens of thousands of
00:41:40.420
participants in multiple experiments in multiple countries.
00:41:47.060
So I can start with the first one I discovered, which is SIEM, the search engine manipulation
00:41:53.160
This is simply the fact that if one candidate is favored over another in Google search results,
00:42:00.600
which virtually everyone uses, that shifts votes to that candidate.
00:42:06.600
And people can't see if there's any bias in search results.
00:42:20.160
We know this from a leak out of Google of emails to the Wall Street Journal in 2018, where one Googler
00:42:28.420
is saying to fellow Googlers, it's hard to say, how can we use ephemeral experiences to shift
00:42:42.660
Like you type in a search term, you get some search results, that information you're seeing
00:42:49.300
on your screen is generated just for you, generated on the fly.
00:42:53.720
It affects you because you're likely to click what's at the top.
00:43:01.020
And it disappears and it's gone forever and it's not stored anywhere.
00:43:06.360
It's a perfect kind of manipulation because no one can go back in time and figure out what
00:43:16.400
And that technique alone can easily shift more than 20% of undecided voters without their
00:43:24.260
knowledge up to 80% in some demographic groups.
00:43:31.820
Since then, I've discovered about a dozen techniques like that, which are controlled
00:43:38.800
entirely by these executives at these couple of companies.
00:43:49.040
You see, you put up your billboard, I put up my billboard.
00:43:52.140
You buy your TV commercial, I buy my TV commercial.
00:43:55.300
These techniques are nothing like that because it's one thing if you want to buy some ads and
00:44:01.500
post them on Facebook or something, you know, but then your competitor will do the same
00:44:06.000
But what if Facebook itself, what if Google itself, what if the platforms want to support
00:44:17.480
Generally speaking, you can't even see what they're doing.
00:44:19.620
Okay, so I remember as a kid, and you've talked about this.
00:44:27.040
I remember as a kid, they said, they're editing films and movie theaters to make you drink Coca-Cola
00:44:33.120
They're putting frames in that show an ice cold Coke and it makes you want to get up in the
00:44:40.940
middle and go to the refreshment stand or where Disney is putting in secret sex messages into
00:44:45.980
the that's nothing, nothing compared to to this.
00:44:56.940
And it's a real thing, but it's very, very, very tiny.
00:45:01.340
It's so tiny that we've never even passed any laws in the United States to prohibit it.
00:45:07.960
The UK does prohibit it, but we don't even prohibit it because, again, the evidence shows
00:45:15.000
But the effects that I've discovered are humongous.
00:45:18.680
For example, for example, there's one which I call DDE, which is the differential demographics
00:45:30.500
In 2018, on Election Day, Google posted a big message on its home page, which would have
00:45:36.540
been seen on Election Day 500 million times by Americans, they replaced the word Google
00:45:51.120
Look at that great thing, that great public service, you know, that Google is doing.
00:45:57.600
That was a vote manipulation because Google knows the demographics of the people who are
00:46:03.920
And they knew very precisely, I mean, down to the last digit, they knew exactly how many
00:46:10.180
more Democrats would see that reminder than Republicans.
00:46:13.680
If that reminder was seen by everyone that day, that would have given 800,000 more votes
00:46:22.360
So, search suggestions, I mean, I could go on and on because we're actually, we just opened
00:46:29.840
up a line of research on a whole new manipulation, which is, I think, going to be bigger than all
00:46:35.540
Well, I know we're doing, we're doing a special this Wednesday night, and you're going to be
00:46:41.220
This Wednesday night, we're talking about the stealing of elections.
00:46:54.080
This has a much bigger potential to really end democracy and quite honestly, free will.
00:47:04.940
You know, there's a debate and I see it happening in the circles of Silicon Valley and those kinds
00:47:14.020
And they're now starting to debate, what is free will?
00:47:18.400
Does it even exist or will it exist in the future?
00:47:22.360
If you're right, doctor, and I believe you are because you've backed it up with the evidence,
00:47:32.940
You're actually being manipulated all the time.
00:47:39.060
And here is a quote from a British economist who was a professor in the United States when
00:47:46.300
Back in 1957, a world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic
00:47:58.580
And Eisenhower, 1961, in that famous speech of his, he warned not only about the rise of
00:48:04.680
a military-industrial complex, he actually warned about the rise of a technological elite that
00:48:12.100
could take control over public policy without people knowing.
00:48:29.440
And as I say, we're just about to get numbers on a whole new technique that we've discovered.
00:48:38.740
And the fact that mainstream media and that my friends, the Democrats, are pretty much
00:48:45.440
ignoring what I'm saying, not all of them, but most of them are, that's outrageous.
00:48:49.980
And that's because they're the ones benefiting at the moment from these manipulations.
00:48:56.060
So maybe we'll have you back tomorrow because I would like to hear about the new way in,
00:49:05.000
But we also really want, I urge you, if you are thinking, you know what, I want to donate
00:49:13.980
This is probably the biggest thing that you could do to help preserve the republic.
00:49:19.340
And that is making sure these tech companies are held responsible.
00:49:32.180
If you have, I don't care if it's $5 or $10,000, please, please consider this as a donation.
00:49:47.100
And hopefully we're going to have some breaking news for you on Wednesday about some of this
00:49:54.740
But we really need your support and he needs your support financially.
00:50:15.620
So there are two parts of the coronavirus that you really need to understand.
00:50:18.660
The first part is the actual medical side of it.
00:50:25.340
On the other side of it is the economic meltdown.
00:50:29.520
Now, the Fed looks like they're going to come in and cut rates again on Wednesday.
00:50:35.500
They're encouraging the entire globe, all of the central banks in the world to do the
00:50:41.380
This is going to this just a it's like overusing antibiotics.
00:50:49.220
You can use antibiotics, but if you overuse antibiotics, they become worthless.
00:50:56.160
I have a feeling that they cut rates and they cut them pretty dramatically here.
00:51:00.120
If not this week, maybe in a couple of weeks, but I think you're going to see some Fed cuts
00:51:05.500
and I don't think it's going to actually do much for the economy.
00:51:09.540
I think we are overusing these antibiotics right now, and that should cause some concern.
00:51:18.740
Right now, the economic impact of coronavirus is not seen yet here in America, except for like
00:51:28.000
the Dow, the Dow was down what in four days, 5,000 points, 6,000 points.
00:51:38.280
If you look at the value of the dollar, the value of the dollar is going down because we're
00:51:49.200
If you have precious metals, if you have gold, you're way up.
00:51:56.760
That is that should disturb you when the price of gold goes up, especially in a dramatic way.
00:52:03.360
It means that the world is more unstable because the world always goes to gold when things look
00:52:11.980
Please understand the coronavirus is going to be with us for a very long time, and what
00:52:22.200
we're looking at now is just the beginning of it.
00:52:26.080
If we don't get a vaccine into people's hands by this time next year, we could have real,
00:52:38.240
And especially if Bernie Sanders looks like he might be the president, we could be in
00:52:45.920
I want you to call Goldline now and find out if gold or silver is right for you.
00:53:02.680
Call him and ask him how you can protect your IRA, 401k or other retirement accounts.
00:53:08.780
And just for speaking to somebody today about your portfolio, you're going to get a three
00:53:13.220
quarter ounce pure bullion silver coin at no cost.
00:53:17.900
The number is 866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
00:53:22.820
All right, here are our daily stats for our coronavirus update.
00:53:28.960
All numbers are locked into place by 5.30 a.m. Central Time.
00:53:53.460
18% of all active cases is steady, considered serious, meaning hospitalization.
00:54:04.980
The U.S. now has 88 confirmed cases and two deaths, both in Washington state.
00:54:12.280
The CDC website is now showing 472 total citizens have been tested up from 445 last Friday.
00:54:21.900
Now, you're going to start to see the number of those infected in the United States go up.
00:54:31.080
Remember, the CDC website showing 472 total citizens have been tested in the United States.
00:54:45.740
I believe that coronavirus has been around here for a while, but because our healthcare system is good,
00:54:53.420
because we're not freaking out about it, it's being treated like the regular flu.
00:55:01.080
As these tests now become more and more frequent, because today there are 54 labs now having testing capabilities here in the U.S.,
00:55:12.180
the CDC has certified 12 regional hospitals to perform their own direct testings as of this week.
00:55:20.140
So now, if you're going to one of these big regional hospitals, you're going to get the testing done right away.
00:55:26.420
And more and more hospitals are going to come online.
00:55:28.900
That means you're going to find more and more people.
00:55:32.580
For instance, we now have a fatality rate in the U.S. of 2.5%.
00:55:42.220
But that's because we think there are only 400, what is it, what did I say, 472 tests that have been done.
00:55:52.060
So, when you have 472 tests, how many of those have been confirmed and two people die?
00:56:01.040
Well, how many people in the United States actually have it right now?
00:56:04.380
I think you're going to see these numbers go through the roof.
00:56:08.000
I mean, because they think it's been just being passed around, for example, Washington State for weeks and weeks undetected.
00:56:16.480
Well, that should tell you it's not so bad here.
00:56:21.060
And, you know, like a lot of people, they think are having, they may be passing it without even getting sick at all.
00:56:31.140
So, I mean, that being said, there's, in my opinion, no way this thing winds up anywhere near 2.5% or 2.3% fatality rate when this is over.
00:56:46.340
I mean, when, you know, we talk about the flu itself, it's 0.1% die.
00:56:51.920
But when 30 million people get it every year, that number is a big number.
00:56:57.180
This is comparing the seasonal flu to COVID-19.
00:57:02.200
And this is why governments are freaking out or taking aggressive action.
00:57:09.840
The case fatality rate is currently 2.3% globally.
00:57:17.960
But I don't believe that number because I don't think we know how many people have it.
00:57:25.720
The serious complication rate, meaning pneumonia and hospitalization, the common seasonal flu is 0.9%.
00:57:38.580
So, 18% get pneumonia or have to go to the hospital.
00:57:43.220
This is why it's so deadly for people who are older.
00:57:45.800
Requiring an ICU, the common everyday flu is 0.25%.
00:58:00.640
The rate of infection or the R0 score, which they give smallpox, I think, is like a 15 million.
00:58:23.100
The incubation period, 2 to 3 days for the flu.
00:58:29.720
Natural herd immunity, which is really important.
00:58:35.020
So, in other words, we're all a little bit immune to it and the different strains might hurt us, etc.
00:58:44.960
The hospitalization per 1 million infections for the seasonal flu, it's 9,000.
00:58:55.180
ICUs per 1 million infections, 2,500 for the seasonal flu, 50,000 for COVID-19.
00:59:05.780
And fatalities per 1 million infections, 1,000 for the seasonal flu, 23,000 for COVID-19, as it stands today.
00:59:17.560
But, again, I think that number will come down.
00:59:19.400
And this is why, of course, you, of course, prepare for the worst-case scenario that this rate sort of continues.
00:59:29.080
So, you should prepare to be, you know, incredibly serious.
00:59:32.520
We just, I think, rationally understand that it's not going to be as high as this, thankfully.
00:59:37.220
You're going to be, look, we're going to be inconvenienced.
00:59:43.880
I've been explaining it for the last few days to people like this, and they seem to connect with it.
00:59:52.520
And they think, I'm saying to them, we're all going to die.
01:00:02.900
Whether it's this month, next month, this year, next year, five years from now, we're all getting it.
01:00:11.980
The flu, the pandemic of 1918, we are still passing around.
01:00:20.460
The seasonal flu is part of that flu, the original flu from 1918.
01:00:48.060
This will be around, most likely, for the rest of our lives.
01:00:51.960
COVID-19 is going to be added as a secondary flu now.
01:00:57.060
So, you'll get this flu, the seasonal flu of 1918, the Spanish flu, and you might get COVID-19.
01:01:06.920
Now, if it's exactly the same as the flu, that just means we've doubled the amount of deaths every year.
01:01:14.560
65,000 people died last year for the common seasonal flu.
01:01:19.280
And while we've been talking about COVID-19, 18,000 have died this year.
01:01:23.980
So, more people are dying from the seasonal flu than most likely will die from this flu.
01:01:36.420
And if it mutates and we don't have any defense against it, it could be bad.
01:01:56.460
And if it's this month, okay, that's probably going to be scary.
01:02:06.920
But, I mean, you look at the seasonal flu, right?
01:02:08.720
There are vaccines every year that vary somewhat in effectiveness.
01:02:17.840
Which helps cut down the amount of deaths and helps cut down the spread of the flu.
01:02:23.660
Think of the flu happening with no vaccine at all, which is what this could be.
01:02:31.100
So, instead of 50% getting a vaccine beforehand, 0% get it.
01:02:34.940
And then add on to that that there's four different medications that treat the seasonal flu.
01:02:47.060
We know the flu sort of burns out in the summer months.
01:02:52.880
We believe it probably will, but we don't know.
01:02:55.260
If it doesn't, I worry about serious, much more serious economic impact.
01:03:02.220
If we can get this thing to die down, then we at least have time to get the world back
01:03:10.060
If it just even just slows down, but does not stop as a seasonal flu does, that's going to
01:03:19.460
And we're going to need to have a vaccine and some treatment for it pretty quickly.
01:03:34.220
If it's for fashion, then just stop being stupid.
01:03:46.320
You know, now they're saying, if you have an N95, great.
01:03:55.800
You know, you should have had an N95 mask or an N100 mask long time ago.
01:04:01.320
But in this particular case, it's not doing anything except stopping doctors where it's
01:04:08.740
really bad from having something that they can put on and take off and dispose of because
01:04:14.980
everybody's keeping them, you know, in their basements and in their bug out rooms.
01:04:27.520
Just wash your hands for two minutes, several times a day.
01:04:38.280
By the way, the CDC actually came out, the head of CDC and said, okay, enough with the masks.
01:04:44.220
I mean, it was almost hysterical the way they dealt with it.
