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.
00:00:58.920
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.
00:01:16.180
Go and get out and vote tomorrow, if you haven't already.
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%.
00:01:42.600
Well, they think it could go up between, in the short term, between 60 and 100%.
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.
00:02:05.860
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.
00:02:35.860
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:47.940
We just learned that they have euthanized Peanut.
00:03:02.260
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.
00:03:21.480
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.
00:03:46.880
Four departments and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon.
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?
00:04:15.780
Again, Peanut was an indoor squirrel not harming anybody.
00:04:20.840
Not a single complaint was ever filed for this animal.
00:04:31.140
He became the first squirrel on TikTok to ever hit a million followers.
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.
00:05:26.780
Do I think this is the weaponization of government?
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.
00:05:43.380
My dog might bite you, too, if you are aggressive to my family.
00:05:51.420
Now, I don't know about you, but I suspect Karen.
00:06:14.640
And probably, probably put in a camp someplace.
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.
00:06:35.080
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.
00:06:52.880
The fact that, you know, a lot of medals get taken away.
00:07:02.820
It's the part, though, that brings it home, like, the most.
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?
00:07:13.760
This is kind of, in a weird way, sort of the same.
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?
00:07:33.620
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.
00:07:53.660
The fact they would do this knowing how visible it was just shows that they don't care.
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.
00:08:24.020
Let me just quote Jen, early voter, Rubin, from the Washington Post.
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.
00:09:02.140
They're going to get the MAGA squirrel and kill him.
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.
00:09:58.200
The did the people who the parents, the parents of the squirrel are there?
00:10:07.920
She deleted this post because she started to get hammered for it.
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.
00:10:41.100
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.
00:11:14.320
I'm voting for Kamala Harris and I love my pet.
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.
00:11:30.520
And you don't care about anybody else because you don't think it might happen to you.
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.
00:12:15.260
Report your neighbors if they're not handling an illness the way you want them to.
00:12:22.520
This man might be vice president of the United States after he did that.
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.
00:12:32.280
Well, this time, this time they're not taking any chances.
00:12:35.220
They have put the National Guard on standby in Seattle, Washington, Portland, and Washington, D.C.
00:12:55.120
They're worried about all the Trump supporters there.
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.
00:13:11.900
Well, we have infiltrated all those areas with the squirrels.
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.
00:14:08.280
Debate has raged on for decades when it comes to the Thanksgiving meal, which is better, turkey or ham?
00:14:20.060
Right now, Good Ranchers has a Thanksgiving special.
00:14:22.740
You can choose any box of their 100% American meat and wild-caught seafood and get a free 10-pound spiral-cut ham added for free.
00:14:34.400
When you shop with Good Ranchers, you are directly supporting local farms and ranches in the United States and 100% American meat, a free 10-pound spiral-cut ham, and you're connected to the American farms and ranches this November at GoodRanchers.com.
00:14:51.480
If you're looking for food that you can trust, food that you know is good, you know what's in it, you know where it comes from, put the car keys down and don't go to the grocery store.
00:15:10.160
And claim a free Thanksgiving ham before they run out.
00:15:13.620
If you're thankful for the farmers and ranchers of this country, go to GoodRanchers.com and support them with every order.
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.
00:15:57.540
He was the CEO of Free Markets, a successful tech startup.
00:16:06.600
God only knows why, but, you know, he's been to war, so it won't be much different.
00:16:20.900
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.
00:16:55.740
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
00:18:06.260
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.
00:18:33.880
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
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
00:19:13.860
And, you know, somebody said this to me the other day, Glenn, which really struck, struck
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
00:20:08.180
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
00:20:20.300
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
00:20:51.660
Um, Michael Watley, who's the chairman of the RNC has made Pennsylvania.
00:20:57.860
So, uh, listen, um, let's talk about tomorrow or on Wednesday, but I feel like we're, we're
00:21:04.680
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.
00:21:17.140
Um, although she made a big speech over the weekend outlining the most expansive green
00:21:25.680
And she's bragging about that to her supporters.
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
00:22:08.320
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
00:22:23.620
But the most important thing to take away here is you don't actually have to ban fracking
00:22:30.420
What you do is you put all sorts of red tape and regulations.
00:22:37.040
You make it harder and harder for private sector to invest.
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.
00:23:02.620
That natural clean gas exported around the world will be the best thing we could ever do
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
00:23:15.460
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.
00:23:29.440
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.
00:23:45.520
Are you prepared to fight those fights in the Senate?
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,
00:24:12.280
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
00:24:31.800
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
00:24:42.140
I've term limited myself, which many people said I should not do, but I I'm going to do
00:24:47.940
If I'm, if I'm honored enough to get the opportunity, I'm not going there, uh, to, to
00:24:55.820
I agree with, um, a lot of the things president Trump has said, uh, in, in his agenda, uh,
00:25:04.620
Kamala Harris has not laid out an agenda at all.
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
00:25:17.920
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
00:25:41.520
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
00:26:07.820
with fentanyl, killing our, killing our young, innocent young people who don't even know they're
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.
00:26:26.160
You can find him at, uh, Dave McCormick, PA.com.
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
00:27:01.240
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.
00:27:17.240
Well, we're in a digital age now, and there is something that I don't really understand
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.
00:27:49.300
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?
00:28:03.380
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
00:28:31.780
He's the founder and president, Brownstone Institute.
00:28:36.860
And Glenn, thank you for describing this problem.
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.
00:28:52.280
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
00:29:02.080
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.
00:29:19.620
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?
00:29:45.800
So if I feel like I might be onto something and I, you know, I still smell a rat here.
00:29:54.380
I mean, they have been involved in mirroring websites since, since the browser was invented
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.
00:30:41.820
And people kept thinking, oh, it's a temporary glitch.
00:30:45.480
But they kept, the company kept saying, no, well, it was worse than we thought.
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.
00:31:02.080
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.
00:31:15.980
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
00:31:27.720
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
00:31:57.060
All the crazy, crazy plexiglass stuff that, right.
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.
00:32:23.480
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
00:32:42.260
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
00:32:51.720
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.
00:33:08.240
Uh, they said that you can only obtain herd immunity through pharmaceutical products.
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
00:33:25.640
So this is extremely important as we speak, there are three weeks, three full weeks of the
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
00:33:55.240
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
00:34:23.500
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?
00:34:46.340
What do you think their short term, if they are turning it back on, what would you think
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
00:35:13.140
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
00:35:49.960
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
00:36:21.260
So, uh, uh, major NGOs, uh, and nonprofits, universities, uh, large companies and government.
00:36:33.960
So those are the stakeholders that are going to control the content that you read the declaration
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.
00:36:50.900
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,
00:37:03.380
And that's the long-term vision getting from here to there is, is not going to be easy because
00:37:10.680
So as a result of that, you have to find surreptitious methods of, of, of, of obtaining the same results
00:37:20.540
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.
00:37:49.740
So we are not, we are, our, our activities day to day, our writings are not being recorded
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
00:38:18.620
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
00:38:36.020
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.
00:38:50.380
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
00:39:07.280
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.
00:39:27.900
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
00:39:44.840
Uh, you might be slightly bugged by that, but then you could look up at Alexa and notice
00:39:49.940
that this website is hardly ever seen by anybody, hardly ever used by anybody.
00:39:54.840
Therefore, it would be unlikely to be unlikely to hit.
00:40:00.660
And so it would not have any kind of impact on the public.
00:40:05.200
So now Glenn black, Glenn Beck is a jerk website, uh, just started last week can be gamed to
00:40:13.260
be the second, the second, uh, uh, research, the second, the second link on, on Google under
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.
00:40:44.180
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
