00:00:30.000 Day before the election, we have everything you need to keep up to date on today's program,

00:00:34.340 including the death of our first patriot and the fight to save our republic, Peanut the Squirrel.

00:00:41.240 Also, Dave McCormick joins the program, running to unseat Bob Casey for Pennsylvania's Senate seat.

00:00:46.760 We talk also to, in the full version of the program, Selena Zito, who puts her money where her mouth is on today's program.

00:00:57.240 How's this election going to turn out?

00:00:58.920 And Jeffrey Tucker is on to talk about the real-time censorship intent on the Internet Archive

00:01:05.040 and how trustworthy the lost info might be if it's ever able to be recovered.

00:01:11.720 You don't want to miss it.

00:01:12.480 Oh, Roseanne Barr is also on the full show. 0.86

00:01:14.640 Worth the download, too.

00:01:16.180 Go and get out and vote tomorrow, if you haven't already.

00:01:19.720 Here is the best of the program in 60.

00:01:22.820 Let me tell you about silver.

00:01:25.440 Silver is on the rise just as of January 2024, which is when I started talking to you about Lear Capital.

00:01:32.040 The price of silver just since January of this year has gone up by 39%.

00:01:39.420 This is unprecedented.

00:01:41.900 Now, why?

00:01:42.600 Well, they think it could go up between, in the short term, between 60 and 100%.

00:01:48.360 Again, why?

00:01:50.440 It's because of demand on solar energy, electric cars, new battery technology.

00:01:55.720 All of these things require huge amounts of silver.

00:01:59.160 And in case you haven't been paying attention, that demand is global.

00:02:03.940 That demand is in China as well.

00:02:05.860 They're buying massive amounts of silver because they need it for the future economy.

00:02:11.800 You need to be building a hedge against the insanity of a failing U.S. dollar.

00:02:16.500 And Lear Capital can help you do that by investing in precious metals.

00:02:20.660 Silver is still cheap.

00:02:23.020 Lear Capital, 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD.

00:02:28.040 Check it out now.

00:02:29.660 Lear Capital, 800-957-GOLD.

00:02:35.860 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:47.940 We just learned that they have euthanized Peanut.

00:02:53.000 And the raccoon as well.

00:02:53.920 And the raccoon as well.

00:02:56.740 I am so sorry.

00:02:58.880 This must be really difficult for you.

00:03:02.260 It not only tears my family apart, but Peanut was the cornerstone of our non-profit animal rescue.

00:03:09.400 And 10 to 12 DEC officers raided my house as if I was a drug dealer.

00:03:14.580 I was sat outside my house for five hours.

00:03:18.160 I had to get a police escort to my bathroom.

00:03:21.480 I wasn't even allowed to feed my rescue horses breakfast or lunch.

00:03:26.060 I was sat there like a criminal after they interrogated my wife to check out her immigration status.

00:03:34.620 Then proceeded to ask me if I had cameras in my house.

00:03:37.340 Then proceeded to go through every cabinet, nook, and cranny of my house for a squirrel and a raccoon.

00:03:42.760 They got a search warrant?

00:03:44.480 They got a search warrant.

00:03:46.880 Four departments and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon.

00:03:52.800 And then they took them and killed them.

00:03:56.200 Why did they go through all that to get a search warrant for an animal that had been with you very safely and the world witnessed this for seven years?

00:04:05.580 Why now suddenly did they show up with a search warrant and take these animals?

00:04:10.920 We haven't a clue.

00:04:12.700 We don't know who made the complaints.

00:04:15.780 Again, Peanut was an indoor squirrel not harming anybody.

00:04:19.420 He's been with us for seven years.

00:04:20.840 Not a single complaint was ever filed for this animal.

00:04:23.900 We had him for seven and a half years.

00:04:25.760 He became the world's most famous squirrel.

00:04:27.880 We weren't hiding him by any means.

00:04:29.880 He was all over TikTok.

00:04:31.140 He became the first squirrel on TikTok to ever hit a million followers.

00:04:34.440 He did every news station around the world.

00:04:37.680 He's helped people.

00:04:39.540 He's helped kids gather joy.

00:04:42.340 And then we started a nonprofit animal rescue called Peanuts Freedom Farm to help animals like Peanut fight a good fight.

00:04:48.760 When they're in a neglected case or they're sitting in a slaughter auction.

00:04:51.980 And he was the cornerstone of our life and our organization.

00:04:55.480 We used his platform to help raise money for the 300 animals we have at our sanctuary.

00:05:01.680 Chapter One

00:05:02.940 Propaganda Wars

00:05:05.980 By Glenn Beck 0.51

00:05:07.420 Welcome to Clown World

00:05:11.400 I rest my case, Your Honor. 0.97

00:05:17.360 What the hell is that?

00:05:21.580 Now, do I feel bad for them? 0.65

00:05:25.140 Yes, I really feel bad for them.

00:05:26.780 Do I think this is the weaponization of government?

00:05:29.840 Yes.

00:05:30.200 Some anonymous person made a complaint, apparently said he might have rabies.

00:05:36.980 The person came in without the, you know, permission of the people and grabbed him and he bit him.

00:05:42.620 Of course he did.

00:05:43.380 My dog might bite you, too, if you are aggressive to my family. 0.99

00:05:49.040 What the hell is this? 0.99

00:05:51.420 Now, I don't know about you, but I suspect Karen. 0.94

00:05:59.260 That's who I suspect.

00:06:01.760 All Karens should be investigated today. 1.00

00:06:06.220 And let me make this promise.

00:06:08.560 If Donald Trump is elected,

00:06:11.260 oh, all the Karens will be investigated. 0.98

00:06:14.640 And probably, probably put in a camp someplace.

00:06:18.160 They're already building it.

00:06:19.300 You know they are.

00:06:20.120 However, this is an insane story.

00:06:23.260 Insane.

00:06:23.780 And it is so bizarre when you're talking about the actual content of what occurred here.

00:06:30.940 You're talking about a squirrel and a raccoon living as a pet.

00:06:33.740 All of that.

00:06:35.080 It is also one of the most egregious abuses of government power I can ever remember.

00:06:42.120 It's like one of those things similar to, like, women's sports where we talk about the transgender issue.

00:06:47.160 There's a million different things that are really important about the transgender issue.

00:06:50.300 Women's sports is not probably number one. 0.63

00:06:52.880 The fact that, you know, a lot of medals get taken away.

00:06:55.560 It's dramatic.

00:06:56.320 I have kids.

00:06:57.040 I have a girl who this might happen to.

00:06:59.800 Yeah.

00:06:59.980 So, it's concerning.

00:07:01.220 But it's not the most serious part.

00:07:02.820 It's the part, though, that brings it home, like, the most.

00:07:06.740 Right.

00:07:06.880 So, moms and dads are like, wait a minute, my daughter's going to get hit in the face with a volleyball at 120 miles an hour? 1.00

00:07:11.900 What are we talking about here?

00:07:12.940 Right.

00:07:13.260 Right?

00:07:13.760 This is kind of, in a weird way, sort of the same.

00:07:16.200 It is.

00:07:16.800 You don't think about it.

00:07:17.800 It's a squirrel being killed.

00:07:19.760 Like, they get run over nine trillion times a day.

00:07:22.920 Can you stop just holding up the squirrel while you forget Fred the raccoon?

00:07:29.200 I know.

00:07:29.760 He's getting the shaft on this one.

00:07:31.060 He's getting the shaft.

00:07:31.940 Poor Fred.

00:07:32.940 Poor Fred.

00:07:33.620 But, I mean, like, if they will do this to a family that is, has documented all of this, millions and millions of people follow this, they see the squirrel as this most little adorable thing, like, jumping around on its owners.

00:07:51.240 And, like, it's crazy.

00:07:53.660 The fact they would do this knowing how visible it was just shows that they don't care.

00:07:59.460 You think they care about you?

00:08:01.560 These people have millions and millions of people watching their daily life with this.

00:08:05.400 They took the squirrel and murdered it for no reason at all.

00:08:11.940 In the most visible way possible, they will not care about what your little complaint is.

00:08:19.100 Let me just point out, for no reason possible?

00:08:23.420 No reason.

00:08:24.020 Let me just quote Jen, early voter, Rubin, from the Washington Post.

00:08:32.840 Oh, God. 1.00

00:08:33.700 Quote, the MAGA squirrel deserved to die. 0.99

00:08:37.800 Now, I think this is both an absolutely ridiculous clown world story, but I also think it is a microcosm of everything this election is about. 0.99

00:08:56.720 Everything. 0.98

00:08:58.720 You know, they call Donald Trump vengeful. 1.00

00:09:02.140 They're going to get the MAGA squirrel and kill him. 0.90

00:09:09.940 These people with peace in their hearts, these animal lovers, the ones who just love the planet, take an innocent squirrel that if he had a MAGA hat on, I can guarantee you he didn't know what the hat was. 0.87

00:09:24.240 Not that he didn't know it was a MAGA hat.

00:09:26.460 He didn't even know it was a hat. 0.76

00:09:28.200 And they kill him. 0.96

00:09:34.220 This is nuts. 0.98

00:09:35.980 Is that a squirrel joke?

00:09:37.580 You got a squirrel joke?

00:09:38.680 No, you just said it.

00:09:39.340 Is it nuts?

00:09:41.560 You said this is nuts, eh?

00:09:43.980 That's the ultimate squirrel joke.

00:09:46.300 You made it and didn't even realize it.

00:09:48.500 I really am shocked by this, though.

00:09:53.220 Like, I don't know.

00:09:54.220 Do you get I don't know?

00:09:55.340 It's funny because I don't.

00:09:57.320 We're the I did.

00:09:58.200 The did the people who the parents, the parents of the squirrel are there?

00:10:03.520 I don't know if known at all.

00:10:04.960 Like, are they?

00:10:05.920 I don't know.

00:10:07.200 I have no idea.

00:10:07.920 She deleted this post because she started to get hammered for it.

00:10:13.320 OK.

00:10:14.100 But Jen Rubin, Washington Post, she seems to know it was a MAGA squirrel.

00:10:19.580 I haven't asked the squirrels in my area who they're for.

00:10:24.340 So there's no little teeny squirrel signs that I've seen for Trump around any of the trees that I have in my house.

00:10:31.760 I have heard that particular squirrel peanut supports lower corporate income taxes.

00:10:35.860 So I am concerned.

00:10:37.920 But like it became a political issue.

00:10:41.100 Not everything is political, but not because as far as I know, these were like big MAGA people who had a squirrel.

00:10:49.740 It's because the people who want your squirrel to live are conservatives.

00:10:55.440 The people who don't want the government to have the power to invade your home and take your pets and murder them for no reason.

00:11:04.020 That's now a political issue because the left wants the government to have that power.

00:11:09.180 They do.

00:11:10.080 They want them to be able to do that.

00:11:12.000 And they might say, well, I love my pet.

00:11:13.640 What are you talking about?

00:11:14.320 I'm voting for Kamala Harris and I love my pet.

00:11:16.200 It doesn't matter.

00:11:17.340 What you're advocating for is the power of the government to be able to do this stuff to you.

00:11:22.760 And you believe that it will never do it to you.

00:11:26.240 I got news for you.

00:11:27.680 Which is selfish, by the way. 0.98

00:11:28.800 Incredibly selfish.

00:11:29.840 Incredibly selfish.

00:11:30.520 And you don't care about anybody else because you don't think it might happen to you.

00:11:34.360 That's not that.

00:11:35.340 It's an incredibly selfish instinct.

00:11:39.700 You know, like you have that already.

00:11:41.620 Who did I see over the weekend talk about, you know, people wonder how people just in Germany just went full fledged Nazi.

00:11:52.760 And he said, look, look what happened with COVID.

00:11:57.440 He's like, I'll bet you at least 30% of our population couldn't wait to turn a neighbor in because it signaled their virtue.

00:12:08.520 First among them, Tim Walls, by the way.

00:12:10.560 Yeah.

00:12:11.880 Put a hotline up.

00:12:13.760 Put a hotline up.

00:12:15.260 Report your neighbors if they're not handling an illness the way you want them to.

00:12:21.260 That's unbelievable.

00:12:22.520 This man might be vice president of the United States after he did that.

00:12:26.360 Just that. 0.98

00:12:27.020 Forget the fact that he allowed cities to burn to the ground and all the other crap he's been doing. 0.91

00:12:32.280 Well, this time, this time they're not taking any chances. 0.82

00:12:35.220 They have put the National Guard on standby in Seattle, Washington, Portland, and Washington, D.C.

00:12:46.880 You know, all those deeply red areas.

00:12:51.060 A lot of tiki tortures parades going on.

00:12:53.780 Oh, yeah.

00:12:54.460 Okay.

00:12:54.920 Yeah.

00:12:55.120 They're worried about all the Trump supporters there.

00:12:57.440 You know, because they're.

00:12:58.260 Well, Jesse Smollett was one of the first that allowed that let us know that MAGA country isn't exactly where we think it is.

00:13:04.540 Sometimes it's downtown Chicago.

00:13:07.120 Sometimes it's Portland.

00:13:08.400 Portland, Oregon.

00:13:09.200 Right.

00:13:10.000 That's MAGA country for you. 0.80

00:13:11.900 Well, we have infiltrated all those areas with the squirrels.

00:13:16.460 So, and they are pissed.

00:13:19.300 All right.

00:13:21.740 No matter what it is to get you out of bed in the morning.

00:13:25.120 Who would have thought the day before the election.

00:13:27.100 We'd be talking about a squirrel.

00:13:28.400 This isn't the lead story.

00:13:28.660 We're talking about a squirrel.

00:13:31.080 And, like, it's so perfect.

00:13:32.700 Again.

00:13:33.180 The meme of, like, what's distracting you.

00:13:35.580 Squirrel!

00:13:36.300 Like, it's actually coming true.

00:13:40.440 Real life.

00:13:44.640 Oh, man.

00:13:45.300 It's going to be a tough couple days.

00:13:47.100 Couple weeks.

00:13:47.700 Couple months.

00:13:59.080 Welcome to Clown World.

00:14:02.760 Ah, this is just incredible.

00:14:08.280 Debate has raged on for decades when it comes to the Thanksgiving meal, which is better, turkey or ham?

00:14:13.840 Tough choice.

00:14:14.920 Unless the ham is free.

00:14:16.580 Then I'm voting for ham every time.

00:15:23.740 Now, back to the podcast.

00:15:25.300 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:30.780 Tomorrow, all eyes are on Pennsylvania.

00:15:33.700 That's our first sign of how things are going to be going.

00:15:36.420 And Dave McCormick is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania.

00:15:41.340 He is running against Casey, who is, he's a dream come true.

00:15:48.300 Dave is a Bronze Star, I guess, recipient.

00:15:55.020 He went to West Point.

00:15:57.540 He was the CEO of Free Markets, a successful tech startup.

00:16:02.900 And he's now running for Senate.

00:16:06.600 God only knows why, but, you know, he's been to war, so it won't be much different.

00:16:12.520 And Dave is joining us now.

00:16:13.820 Hi, Dave.

00:16:14.980 Hey, Glenn.

00:16:15.620 How are you?

00:16:16.100 I'm really good.

00:16:16.940 I'm really good.

00:16:17.520 How are you feeling today?

00:16:19.700 You know, I feel great.

00:16:20.900 I mean, at Homestretch, this was always going to be a super race.

00:16:26.040 But what's happening is it feels like there's a momentum shift.

00:16:29.300 And, you know, in my race, it's really a choice between change and the status quo.

00:16:34.260 And a guy who is me, in my case, a seventh generation Pennsylvanian, as you said, grew

00:16:40.340 up in rural Pennsylvania, went to West Point, Ranger School, 82nd Airborne Division, combat

00:16:44.760 tour in Iraq, and then ran a business in Pennsylvania against a guy that's been in elected office

00:16:49.960 30 years, has, you know, comes from a famous political family.

00:16:54.420 He's been a weak leader.

00:16:55.740 When the bullets start flying, he ducks, and he votes 98.6% of the time with Biden-Harris.

00:17:02.640 And so if people want the status quo, I tell them on the campaign trail, vote Casey.

00:17:06.820 If you want change, that's what I'm running for, to bring about change and hopefully work

00:17:12.760 with President Trump and the White House to put forward a common sense agenda to get our

00:17:17.760 economy back on track and make ourselves energy dominant, which will be because of Pennsylvania's

00:17:23.980 natural gas and secure the border and stop this scourge of fentanyl.

00:17:28.260 And so I think, you know, three quarters of Pennsylvanians think that we're heading in

00:17:31.840 the wrong direction, which is why I think President Trump will prevail, and I think I will, too.

00:17:36.400 You know, because your slogan is, time for a change.

00:17:40.720 And I really think, Dave, that this is, that is coming.

00:17:46.760 You know, one way or another, deep change is coming.

00:17:49.720 If she wins, I think we are no longer the constitutional Republican for years that we are now.

00:17:57.460 And Donald Trump made some mistakes in his first term, but he's learned from them, and

00:18:02.980 he has gotten uber sharp on everything.

00:18:06.260 He knows what he's doing, and he's talking about profound change.

00:18:10.740 What I don't understand is how people see Kamala as an agent of change.

00:18:18.240 You know, I think it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's wearing off here in Pennsylvania.

00:18:23.920 I think Pennsylvania may be the one place where the Democrats would have been wiser to put Joe

00:18:28.860 Biden forward, because, because Biden had a claim to Pennsylvania.

00:18:32.540 He had campaigned here.

00:18:33.880 He knew every union leader, every county commissioner.

00:18:36.540 But Kamala Harris, in her own words, wants, in her own words, in the last three or four years,

00:18:40.940 wants to ban fracking, transition energy workers, mandatory buybacks of your guns,

00:18:45.200 legalization of illegal immigrants, federal benefits for them, defund the police, eliminate 0.99

00:18:50.020 private health care insurance.

00:18:51.500 I mean, this is a radical agenda that's completely out of touch with Pennsylvania.

00:18:57.840 And the more Pennsylvanians see that, the more that they're coming to the conclusion that we

00:19:03.400 need to strengthen common sense policies of President Trump.

00:19:06.780 But, but it's also a Bob Casey thing, because if God forbid Kamala Harris is in there, Bob Casey 1.00

00:19:12.020 is a sure vote.

00:19:13.860 And, you know, somebody said this to me the other day, Glenn, which really struck, struck

00:19:18.460 a negative chord with me.

00:19:19.660 But somebody said, are you running for the Bob Casey seat?

00:19:23.440 And I said, I'm not running for the Bob Casey seat.

00:19:26.040 This isn't an entitlement because his name's Casey.

00:19:29.380 You know, you get to earn this seat every single day, every election.

00:19:33.280 And, uh, and he's failed, uh, people, uh, across our great Commonwealth.

00:19:38.040 And that's, uh, that's why I think, uh, you're seeing the movement in the polls that what,

00:19:42.240 what everybody would say is that there's a huge push, uh, in my direction, in my race,

00:19:47.460 but also President Trump's picked up some steam here as well.

00:19:50.600 And I think, uh, I think we're going to see that tomorrow.

00:19:53.400 How do you feel about the security of the election?

00:19:55.340 You know, I feel, um, two things at the same time.

00:19:59.960 I feel like there's been an enormous effort, uh, uh, thousands of people will be at a election

00:20:05.040 site, 7,000 observers, 500 lawyers.

00:20:08.180 Um, I think there's a lot of vigilance, but we have to be vigilant because, uh, we've already

00:20:13.400 seen, uh, cases where they're trying to suppress the voting in Bucks County by, you

00:20:18.060 know, ending early, early voting early.

00:20:20.300 We've seen what looks to be fraudulent registrations in Lancaster County.

00:20:25.340 Um, which the district attorney there is prosecuting.

00:20:28.020 So, um, so I think we've got a lot of focus, a lot of resources on it, which should give

00:20:31.940 us some comfort, but I also think that we got to play whack-a-mole and be extremely

00:20:36.020 vigilant to make sure any indication of cheating or fraud is dealt with immediately.

00:20:41.660 And, uh, and so I'm paranoid about it, but, uh, but I also feel like we're very focused.

00:20:45.960 And, you know, this is one of the areas where Trump's, uh, President Trump's campaign

00:20:49.020 and mine have very, been very coordinated.

00:20:51.660 Um, Michael Watley, who's the chairman of the RNC has made Pennsylvania.

00:20:55.340 Ground zero for his efforts.

00:20:57.860 So, uh, listen, um, let's talk about tomorrow or on Wednesday, but I feel like we're, we're

00:21:02.580 pretty focused on it.

00:21:03.600 We're talking to Dave McCormick.

00:21:04.680 He's running for Senate in the state of Pennsylvania.

00:21:07.840 Dave, um, Kamala Harris has said that she is not now against banning fracking.

00:21:14.220 She's, she's turned that around apparently. 0.96

00:21:17.140 Um, although she made a big speech over the weekend outlining the most expansive green

00:21:22.680 energy, uh, you know, global warming agenda.

00:21:25.680 And she's bragging about that to her supporters. 1.00

00:21:28.020 Where is Casey on all of this?

00:21:30.600 And do you believe either of them?

00:21:32.780 Yeah, listen, I think it's, I think it's both deceptive and disgraceful.

00:21:36.340 And I've, I've talked a lot about this on the campaign trail, you know, for your listeners,

00:21:39.900 uh, if they went to my website, Dave McCormick, PA.com, they'll see, I've laid out all my positions

00:21:45.940 on energy and what we need to do and everything else.

00:21:47.880 But, but, but two points, number one, we should not trust them for this because Kamala Harris

00:21:53.280 has had a long, uh, history of being, uh, for eliminating fossil fuel consumption in general.

00:21:59.300 And Bob Casey has voted time and again for the frack act, which essentially puts a huge

00:22:05.040 burden on, um, on, uh, fracking companies.

00:22:08.320 He's, uh, supported the closing down of the Keystone pipeline.

00:22:11.920 He's been, uh, absolutely in favor of all these restrictions on natural gas.

00:22:17.400 It's the EPA mandate, which is going to create much more demand for electric vehicles at the

00:22:21.940 expense of combustion engines.

00:22:23.620 But the most important thing to take away here is you don't actually have to ban fracking

00:22:28.700 to ban fracking.

00:22:30.420 What you do is you put all sorts of red tape and regulations.

00:22:34.620 You could increase the liabilities.

00:22:37.040 You make it harder and harder for private sector to invest.

00:22:40.560 That's what they're doing.

00:22:42.120 And so, you know, this whole conversation about ban or not ban, what we should be talking about

00:22:46.860 is how we not, not just have fracking, but we double, triple, quadruple the amount of fracking

00:22:53.400 taking place in Pennsylvania, because it's critical to our economic well-being.

00:22:57.880 It's critical to our national security.

00:22:59.500 And here's the irony, Glenn.

00:23:00.800 It's critical to the environment.

00:23:02.620 That natural clean gas exported around the world will be the best thing we could ever do

00:23:07.120 to reduce carbon emissions.

00:23:08.440 So sorry to go on so long, but that's, that is, uh, really an area where I think, uh, the Democrats

00:23:14.120 are completely out to lunch.

00:23:15.460 And Bob Casey, uh, is a, is a rubber stamp vote for all this, uh, extreme, uh, green agenda.

00:23:21.080 So we have, um, one candidate, you know, talking about green agenda, which will change everything.

00:23:26.980 The other candidate has now floated.

00:23:29.440 Donald Trump has floated even no taxes, no income tax.

00:23:34.260 Um, the things that he is advocating for are massive, just massive change.

00:23:42.160 Um, and in my view, pretty good.

00:23:45.520 Are you prepared to fight those fights in the Senate?

00:23:51.000 Yeah, I really am.

00:23:52.460 I'm prepared.

00:23:53.100 I mean, I think, and I say this all the time, I think we can't have incrementalism.

00:23:58.560 So we can't have incrementalism in terms of dealing with, uh, our energy industry or in

00:24:04.080 terms of, uh, our economy and the, and the spending cuts we need to do to bring this,

00:24:10.080 uh, terrible inflation in place.

00:24:12.280 So the economy of Biden, Harrison, Casey has been devastating for working families in Pennsylvania.

00:24:17.200 60% of the families of Pennsylvania live paycheck to paycheck.

00:24:20.540 And, you know, prices have gone up by more than 20% and wages haven't kept up.

00:24:24.640 So we got to get rid of all incrementalism in terms of getting our country, uh, back on

00:24:31.420 track.

00:24:31.800 And, um, I'm going to fight those battles, uh, for a number of reasons.

00:24:35.600 I deeply believe we need to do this to save our country, but you know, I'm not doing this

00:24:41.000 to become a career politician.

00:24:42.140 I've term limited myself, which many people said I should not do, but I I'm going to do

00:24:47.080 this for two terms.

00:24:47.940 If I'm, if I'm honored enough to get the opportunity, I'm not going there, uh, to, to

00:24:53.220 make small changes.

00:24:53.980 I'm going there to shake things up.

00:24:55.820 I agree with, um, a lot of the things president Trump has said, uh, in, in his agenda, uh,

00:25:02.540 that he's laid out very specifically.

00:25:04.620 Kamala Harris has not laid out an agenda at all.

00:25:07.600 Uh, uh, Donald Trump has done so.

00:25:09.760 And the place where I think we need the most dramatic change is the border.

00:25:14.160 And, uh, I'm going to say something here, Gunn, which has got me into some trouble, but

00:25:17.120 I really believe it.

00:25:17.920 We not only need to secure the border, um, you know, finish the wall, uh, go through the

00:25:23.160 process of getting the illegal immigrants back, uh, across the border to their home countries.

00:25:27.620 I think we need to designate the cartels as terrorist organizations, day one, and go across

00:25:34.940 the border with our drones, with our military, destroy the manufacturing facilities, destroy

00:25:40.160 the distribution facilities.

00:25:41.520 This, this, this scourge of fentanyl has killed 116,000 Americans last year.

00:25:49.860 And, uh, to put that in perspective, uh, as a guy who has served in the military, we lost

00:25:54.900 58,000, uh, men and women in Vietnam killed in action in eight years.

00:26:00.780 So last year in America, we had two Vietnams because of the cartels, uh, invading our country 1.00

00:26:07.820 with fentanyl, killing our, killing our young, innocent young people who don't even know they're

00:26:11.420 taking fentanyl.

00:26:12.260 So that's the kind of tough, dramatic leadership I think we need.

00:26:17.540 And I think president Trump's going to bring that now.

00:26:19.540 I'll be with him when he does.

00:26:20.940 Dave, thank you very much.

00:26:21.820 This is Dave McCormick.

00:26:22.960 He is running, uh, for Senate in Pennsylvania.

00:26:26.160 You can find him at, uh, Dave McCormick, PA.com.

00:26:31.340 Dave McCormick, PA.com.

00:26:33.240 You can also follow him on Twitter.

00:26:34.920 Best of luck to you tomorrow, Dave.

00:26:36.460 Thank you.

00:26:37.160 Hey, thanks.

00:26:37.680 Thanks for having me.

00:26:38.340 Have a great day.

00:26:39.260 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:26:44.740 What would the world be like if all of a sudden you went into the library?

00:26:51.320 We were a country based in books, try to think back with me, old timer, and all of the books

00:26:59.660 were suddenly gone.

00:27:01.240 And then a month later, they're, they're put back on the shelf and they open the library,

00:27:07.120 but you're not sure they put all the books back.

00:27:10.220 You're not sure what happened to any of those books.

00:27:12.500 You're not sure if any of those books were changed.

00:27:15.300 How could you trust history?

00:27:17.240 Well, we're in a digital age now, and there is something that I don't really understand

00:27:23.360 that's been going on for the last few weeks.

00:27:26.440 It's archive.org.

00:27:29.400 On October 8th, the, uh, the servers were hit with a denial of service attack and it took

00:27:36.120 down the service, but also led to catastrophic failure.

00:27:40.840 This is the way people go back and say, okay, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:27:47.300 Is that what they really said?

00:27:49.300 Wait, they believe that now, but what did they say back in, you know, 2016, 2020 last week?

00:27:57.560 Remember how everything was changed on Kamala Harris overnight?

00:28:01.540 Just, they just started changing.

00:28:03.380 You've lost now the ability to go back and see what does the original story say?

00:28:09.580 Now, is this just a, I don't know, uh, a coincidence, a really, really bad coincidence?

00:28:21.280 Because there's some other things that have changed, um, that look like if it is, it's

00:28:27.640 a pretty big and bad coincidence.

00:28:30.500 Jeffrey Tucker is with us.

00:28:31.780 He's the founder and president, Brownstone Institute.

00:28:34.660 Jeffrey, how are you?

00:28:36.260 Good.

00:28:36.860 And Glenn, thank you for describing this problem.

00:28:39.060 Um, so well, you have a way with metaphors.

00:28:42.560 I, you know, it's, uh, I don't, I don't think I understand the depth and I've read up on

00:28:48.000 it a bit this weekend and it seems like some people are saying it's no big deal.

00:28:51.560 It's going to be fixed.

00:28:52.280 Other people are saying, no, no, no, this is a really big deal.

00:28:55.960 Well, I got a communication from, from, from the company itself that said, there's no big

00:29:01.780 deal.

00:29:02.080 Uh, we have been from, from the 8th of October, we've been mirroring the entire internet just

00:29:10.680 that we can't make it live yet because we're not, we're not quite stable.

00:29:15.260 And my initial feeling was, oh, good.

00:29:18.200 Okay.

00:29:19.620 But, but, you know, we're, we've all lost trust in basically everything.

00:29:24.460 So I decided to respond to the guy and I said, I said, well, I guess I'm a little confused.

00:29:29.680 If you have been mirroring since mirroring all the internet since the age, uh, but why can't

00:29:37.180 you make that at least alive in a read only mode?

00:29:42.440 And I didn't get an answer.

00:29:45.800 So if I feel like I might be onto something and I, you know, I still smell a rat here.

00:29:52.440 First of all, there is the issue of timing.

00:29:54.380 I mean, they have been involved in mirroring websites since, since the browser was invented

00:30:01.900 in 1995.

00:30:04.060 And I can see on archive.org now websites that I built in 1995, 1996.

00:30:10.960 Like they're there and all, and this has been, you know, consistently, uh, mirroring the,

00:30:18.320 the internet since, since that time until of all things, you know, 30 days before what

00:30:27.560 many people consider to be the most, you know, momentous election in modern times.

00:30:33.360 And suddenly, uh, DDoS attack hits the site and they stop.

00:30:38.980 And here we are now.

00:30:41.820 And people kept thinking, oh, it's a temporary glitch.

00:30:45.000 It'll come up.

00:30:45.480 But they kept, the company kept saying, no, well, it was worse than we thought.

00:30:49.880 And we're working really hard.

00:30:51.700 Oh, now here's a read only version.

00:30:55.140 So you can't, uh, so it's not, it's not real time, but you can read all the archives.

00:31:00.540 Well, I went to the site.

00:31:02.080 I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm not sure if I was the first one to notice this, but I think I was

00:31:06.900 the first one to really sound the alarm that nothing is available since, since October 8th.

00:31:13.880 And so we don't know.

00:31:15.980 And just keep in mind, so they mirror prominent websites several times a day, sometimes four

00:31:22.980 or five times a day so that you can tell the difference between the morning headline and

00:31:26.540 the afternoon headline.

00:31:27.720 And I've used this tool quite frequently to discover, for example, all the cockamamie edicts

00:31:37.320 issued by the CDC, uh, from 2020 that they, they deleted, you know, a year later.

00:31:43.080 Otherwise I wouldn't be able to, I, I found it was the CDC that, that the, that imposed

00:31:48.840 the rent moratorium, uh, push for all the filtration systems that later turned out to be a huge

00:31:56.360 waste of time.

00:31:57.060 All the crazy, crazy plexiglass stuff that, right.

00:32:00.780 That's in the world.

00:32:02.080 And another thing, Glenn, that they, that they did, and I think this was on March 12th, 2020

00:32:07.000 was urge the entire country to, uh, and, and, and, uh, in the, in the, in the language of

00:32:14.520 a mandate, you know, the, you can never tell in those days what was, what was required and

00:32:18.780 what wasn't, but in the language of a mandate mail in ballots.

00:32:22.320 Okay.

00:32:23.480 So it's, in other words, sending our election systems, you know, the very core of what it

00:32:29.300 means to be a democratic society into dramatic upheaval in ways that everyone knew would lead

00:32:37.920 to massive fraud.

00:32:39.780 So that, that happened on March 12th.

00:32:42.260 Was it with the permission of the Trump administration?

00:32:44.800 I doubt it, but in any case, after the election that November, that, that instruction went

00:32:51.380 away.

00:32:51.720 So it was only thanks to archive.org that we know this.

00:32:54.600 Another example is the world health organization for a period of, I would say, uh, a fortnight

00:33:01.500 completely changed this definition of herd immunity to exclude natural immunity.

00:33:07.760 Right.

00:33:08.240 Uh, they said that you can only obtain herd immunity through pharmaceutical products.

00:33:14.000 Right.

00:33:14.800 I mean, so, uh, so, uh, and they changed, then they changed back again.

00:33:19.760 So we can, we only, and I've discovered this, discovered a lot of these things, but only by

00:33:24.320 using archive.org.

00:33:25.640 So this is extremely important as we speak, there are three weeks, three full weeks of the

00:33:33.440 internet missing.

00:33:34.700 Now I have a little bit of a, of a coda here.

00:33:39.420 Um, before this interview was about to take place, I decided to check on the status of,

00:33:44.780 the real-time mirroring and where we stood and what was available in real time.

00:33:49.080 And I looked at brownstone.org, our website, and I found that, that it's still not being

00:33:54.680 mirrored.

00:33:55.240 Uh, the latest copy they have is from October 8th, but then I went to the New York times

00:34:01.020 and boom, two instances of mirroring the site yesterday.

00:34:10.660 Now I have not had time to research how many other sites are being mirrored and which ones

00:34:16.500 are not being mirrored.

00:34:17.500 But let me just put it this way.

00:34:21.640 How can you not smell a rat?

00:34:23.500 You know, it's, it's, it's, it's looking pretty bad.

00:34:27.100 So I, I can understand a longer term, uh, problem, uh, that, you know, we're just taking

00:34:37.920 pages out of books in a library and that, what are you talking about?

00:34:41.720 That, that page never was there.

00:34:43.520 Um, I can, I can understand that longer term.

00:34:46.340 What do you think their short term, if they are turning it back on, what would you think

00:34:51.600 the short term advantage, what did they do?

00:34:54.320 Well, based on, on the evidence that I, that I'm, that I'm seeing now it's, it's only, you

00:35:03.480 know, the sort of massively popular sort of regime friendly publications that are being

00:35:10.980 mirrored and others are not.

00:35:13.140 And that would be consistent with the Biden Harris administration's agenda for the internet

00:35:23.560 generally speaking, because in, I think it was about two years ago, they issued a thing

00:35:30.260 called the declaration on the future of the internet that, that excluded the traditional

00:35:38.100 injunction that it should be a place of free expression and that there should be free speech

00:35:49.480 on the internet.

00:35:49.960 That's every declaration on the internet future always had that.

00:35:54.220 They deleted that and changed it into what they called a stakeholder model.

00:35:59.460 And they, and they mentioned, and, and, and by the way, they put all this in, you know,

00:36:04.420 fake calligraphy, you know, with a, with a fancy pants border, you know, as if to codify it

00:36:11.200 into all of, all of the human mind and, and all this gibberish, but the stakeholders they

00:36:17.460 mentioned are the usual suspects.

00:36:21.260 So, uh, uh, major NGOs, uh, and nonprofits, universities, uh, large companies and government.

00:36:32.320 Okay.

00:36:33.960 So those are the stakeholders that are going to control the content that you read the declaration

00:36:38.380 on the future of the internet.

00:36:39.480 It's clear that what they want is to turn the entire internet and some version of 1970s

00:36:44.720 television, replacing 800 numbers with, with, with credit card fields.

00:36:49.340 So that's, that's, that's it.

00:36:50.900 So everything else is slated for some kind of termination.

00:36:57.780 And that includes rumble and access, sub stack, and probably your, your site and mine and,

00:37:02.360 and everybody else.

00:37:03.380 And that's the long-term vision getting from here to there is, is not going to be easy because

00:37:08.680 the first amendment stands for their way.

00:37:10.680 So as a result of that, you have to find surreptitious methods of, of, of, of obtaining the same results

00:37:19.200 incrementally.

00:37:20.540 So one of those, and here again, yeah, call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, uh, what,

00:37:26.600 one incremental part of the method would be to, uh, eliminate the mirroring of sites, the

00:37:35.760 sites slated for termination in real time so that in effect, you don't exist.

00:37:40.300 Nothing I've posted since, since October 8th exists in, in the official internet archive.

00:37:46.620 Yeah.

00:37:47.460 And that's probably true for you too.

00:37:49.440 Yeah.

00:37:49.740 So we are not, we are, our, our activities day to day, our writings are not being recorded

00:37:55.760 by the internet's big engine.

00:37:59.720 And, and, and, and incidentally, yes, there are other alternatives to archive.org, but nothing

00:38:05.520 that mirrors the entire worldwide web in real time.

00:38:10.500 All the other engines require sort of manual operation by users and are not in any sense

00:38:17.520 comprehensive.

00:38:18.620 So this is the only one, which is, which is tragic.

00:38:21.900 There should be, there should be hundreds and thousands of these, but there's not Google

00:38:25.360 can do it, but they stopped their services, uh, of cash of running real time caching of

00:38:31.920 websites, um, last year, I think.

00:38:36.020 So, so things are tightening up and, um, and my article with Debbie Lehrman, we also chronicled

00:38:43.780 the fascinating way in which internet search has changed.

00:38:48.900 You've undoubtedly noticed this.

00:38:50.380 I think, uh, you go to Google now and you don't get crowdsourced community curated content

00:38:59.080 of credible sources as fed the old algorithms used to look at how, how much a site is linked

00:39:06.600 into.

00:39:07.280 And if people found it useful, that was the driving force.

00:39:11.460 It wasn't perfect, but at least it was democratic and you could cross check that with a website

00:39:17.740 called Alexa, which, which has been around since 1995.

00:39:22.220 It was, it was acquired by Amazon in, in 2000.

00:39:27.900 And, uh, the idea of Alexa was that it had public rankings of web traffic and a practical

00:39:36.000 example of this, if there's a website that says, uh, Glenn Beck is a bad guy and you should

00:39:43.420 have nothing to do with him.

00:39:44.840 Uh, you might be slightly bugged by that, but then you could look up at Alexa and notice 0.98

00:39:49.940 that this website is hardly ever seen by anybody, hardly ever used by anybody.

00:39:54.280 Right.

00:39:54.840 Therefore, it would be unlikely to be unlikely to hit.

00:40:00.340 Yeah.

00:40:00.660 And so it would not have any kind of impact on the public.

00:40:03.460 Right.

00:40:04.080 That's why you would dismiss it. 0.99

00:40:05.200 So now Glenn black, Glenn Beck is a jerk website, uh, just started last week can be gamed to 0.96

00:40:13.260 be the second, the second, uh, uh, research, the second, the second link on, on Google under 0.98

00:40:19.000 your name.

00:40:20.200 And you don't know if this is a big website, a small website, you know, something, some troll

00:40:25.460 website started last week or something read by, by 10 million people a day, you know, you

00:40:30.820 wouldn't know because Amazon, uh, shut it down after buying it.

00:40:35.740 They had it for a few years and then they just shut it down.

00:40:38.040 They didn't sell it.

00:40:38.900 They just went dark, which is on unusual.

00:40:42.020 Jeffrey, I'm unusual.

00:40:43.580 I am.

00:40:44.180 I'm out of time, but I would love to further this conversation, uh, with you and, uh, and

00:40:49.820 stay in touch with what is going on with, uh, the mirroring of all of the sites.

00:40:54.320 I, you know, I hope you're wrong, but I don't dismiss very much anymore because, uh, it's

00:41:00.700 crazy.

00:41:01.360 Uh, Jeffrey, thank you so much.

00:41:03.320 You got it.

00:41:04.040 Bye-bye.

00:41:04.580 Bye-bye.

00:41:05.060 Uh, brownstone.org.

00:41:06.600 That is, uh, Jeffrey Tucker.

00:41:08.560 Na, na, na, na.
