00:00:00.000 Hey, it's a great podcast for a Monday. I'm glad you're here. You don't want to miss a second of
00:00:04.280 it. We talked about the Washington Redskins, the weasels that are now changing their name because
00:00:09.160 money is at stake, not because of the principle. Is there anyone who will stand for the principle?
00:00:15.100 Well, AOC is, I should say that she is. She's come out this weekend and she said all of the
00:00:22.160 violence that is happening in New York City on the streets is all because, well, people don't
00:00:27.360 have enough bread and they're having to steal bread. Really? Because I haven't noticed the
00:00:32.860 stats of the bakery robberies lately going up. But we talk about that. Also, Black Lives Matter,
00:00:39.040 how it is in your school right now. It is starting to be taught in your children's school that
00:00:46.860 racism really is caused by white people and white is not where it's at. The Marxist infiltration
00:00:57.300 of our school, what the schools now, the teachers union in California are asking for
00:01:03.040 before they return to school. They said they will not already open unless a few of their demands are
00:01:09.900 met. Wait until you hear that. And finally, a doctor who will come out and tell you the truth
00:01:15.200 about coronavirus. All that and more on today's podcast.
00:01:25.600 You're listening to
00:01:26.740 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:29.500 Very excited about finding out about Wayfair furniture because, man.
00:01:39.240 Are you?
00:01:39.780 Yeah.
00:01:40.480 Yeah. Well, I've been buying slave children. 0.99
00:01:42.880 Have you?
00:01:43.320 From Wayfair?
00:01:44.640 Yeah.
00:01:45.180 Yeah.
00:01:45.500 From Wayfair, yeah. You just go online and you find the most expensive cabinet.
00:01:50.040 Yeah.
00:01:50.280 And because no cabinet could cost $14,000.
00:01:54.420 No, that's ridiculous.
00:01:55.040 How could a cabinet cost $14,000?
00:01:58.140 So what you do is you just find the most expensive cabinet and what you're buying are children instead
00:02:05.040 of a cabinet.
00:02:06.680 That is just so bizarre.
00:02:08.780 How can that possibly get started with anybody believing it?
00:02:14.320 Come on.
00:02:15.760 You're okay.
00:02:16.840 Okay.
00:02:17.240 Come on.
00:02:17.540 All right.
00:02:17.880 Sorry. Didn't know you were part of the government cover-up.
00:02:21.540 Yes, I am.
00:02:22.640 Of Pizzagate and now Wayfairgate.
00:02:24.540 Yes.
00:02:25.100 Or Cabinetgate, if you'd like.
00:02:26.620 Oh, you're talking about the Pizzagate that's doing the sex trafficking of children in their
00:02:31.360 basement that they don't have in the basement that isn't there.
00:02:34.420 Exactly right.
00:02:35.780 Yeah, that one.
00:02:36.720 Exactly right.
00:02:38.220 Yep, we got them.
00:02:39.000 So you got that one.
00:02:40.800 And here's the...
00:02:42.040 I mean, look.
00:02:43.320 This is a...
00:02:44.480 This is...
00:02:45.440 There are four storage cabinets.
00:02:47.880 There that were...
00:02:49.800 You know, the Princess Peach 1987.
00:02:53.540 This...
00:02:53.800 She's from Reddit.
00:02:56.020 And she posted on Reddit, I saw these cabinets.
00:03:00.340 It's Wayfair's mobile website.
00:03:03.040 And it features products named Nira, Yurizita, Samaya, and Olivia.
00:03:12.020 And these cabinets cost between $12,699 and $14,499.
00:03:22.280 And the only thing that this could possibly be, I mean, is that these are humans you're buying,
00:03:33.280 not cabinets.
00:03:34.900 Because no cabinet would cost $14,000.
00:03:38.240 What a sick and weird conclusion to jump to.
00:03:43.500 Uh, yeah.
00:03:44.860 Wow.
00:03:45.520 Yeah, you think?
00:03:46.500 Man.
00:03:47.220 Yeah.
00:03:47.740 Is it possible...
00:03:48.820 This is what she was...
00:03:50.200 This is what she posted.
00:03:51.360 Is it possible Wayfair is involved in human trafficking with their WFX utility collection?
00:03:58.820 No, it's not.
00:03:59.560 What are these just extremely overpriced cabinets?
00:04:03.340 There you go.
00:04:05.080 Well, yeah, I think they're just overpriced cabinets.
00:04:08.940 I don't...
00:04:09.220 I mean, why would it all of a sudden...
00:04:12.340 Why would it occur to you that it...
00:04:14.780 Oh, you know what?
00:04:15.760 They're buying people.
00:04:16.620 They're selling people at Wayfair.
00:04:18.600 You know what I think this is?
00:04:19.960 By the way, Wayfair said,
00:04:21.240 Of course, there's no truth to these claims.
00:04:23.220 The products in question are industrial-grade cabinets that are accurately priced,
00:04:26.740 recognizing that the photos and descriptions provided by the supplier
00:04:30.320 did not adequately explain the high price point.
00:04:33.940 We have temporarily removed the products from the site to rename them
00:04:37.840 and to provide a more in-depth description and photos
00:04:41.040 that accurately depict the product to clarify the price point.
00:04:45.300 Unbelievable.
00:04:46.480 So what I think this is,
00:04:48.200 is I think this is just another attempt to discredit capitalism,
00:04:54.200 to discredit another capitalist, successful corporation.
00:04:59.320 I mean, either that or it's just a really stupid person.
00:05:03.000 But I think it's equally, equally viable
00:05:08.800 that this is somebody who is a Marxist
00:05:11.680 that just wants to create more chaos 0.97
00:05:13.520 and more doubt about anything that you can possibly trust.
00:05:18.460 Yeah, Ken, could we have any more doubts than we do in American society?
00:05:27.220 We doubt absolutely everything.
00:05:29.640 We doubt capitalism.
00:05:31.420 We doubt our leaders.
00:05:32.600 We doubt whether or not the COVID-19 thing is really spiking like it is
00:05:37.020 because you hear all over the place
00:05:40.200 that they're messing with the numbers,
00:05:43.300 bringing back legacy numbers from months ago.
00:05:45.960 They're attaching positive test results
00:05:50.980 to people who haven't even had tests.
00:05:53.380 I mean, we can't believe anything anymore.
00:05:54.980 We have an expert on that coming up
00:05:57.740 at the top of hour three today.
00:06:00.000 If you're part of the COVID confusion
00:06:03.580 and you don't know what's happening,
00:06:04.760 because honestly, Pat, I don't know what's real or not anymore.
00:06:08.160 Yeah, me neither.
00:06:08.760 I don't know what's real.
00:06:09.560 I don't have any feeling that I should be concerned about COVID, though.
00:06:16.680 Do you?
00:06:18.360 Yeah, I don't want to be stupid about it.
00:06:21.500 Like, you know, we did a wedding.
00:06:22.480 Correct.
00:06:22.820 I think you know whose wedding it was,
00:06:24.060 and it was a great wedding.
00:06:25.320 Yes.
00:06:25.740 But all social distancing kind of went out the window
00:06:28.240 because we're all friends and everybody knows each other,
00:06:30.520 and so you haven't seen each other in a long time,
00:06:32.640 and there's a lot of hugging and shaking
00:06:34.020 and touching and feeling,
00:06:36.480 and, you know, I was a little nervous about it.
00:06:38.500 Whoa, what kind of wedding?
00:06:39.340 I was a little nervous.
00:06:40.440 It sounds like a, wow, did you have a cabinet from Winfair?
00:06:43.260 No, it was a great time.
00:06:44.160 Don't get me wrong.
00:06:45.340 Yes.
00:06:46.440 Yes, there was one right in the middle of the dance floor.
00:06:48.880 It was really strange.
00:06:49.940 Right.
00:06:50.240 That's weird.
00:06:51.300 Okay.
00:06:51.660 But nobody was wearing masks,
00:06:53.500 and that's fine because I wasn't wearing one either.
00:06:56.700 I just wasn't expecting the close proximity, I think,
00:06:59.540 and so I was a little nervous, maybe,
00:07:02.960 and I haven't really been,
00:07:05.340 but I thought, yeah,
00:07:07.500 I'm not sure if I want to dive this deep
00:07:09.580 into the normalcy end of the pool right now.
00:07:13.500 I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
00:07:15.840 If it was outdoors,
00:07:16.840 I think it would have been different.
00:07:19.100 You know, like if it's a football game
00:07:20.620 or you're going to a baseball game
00:07:22.040 and you're outside,
00:07:24.960 I wouldn't worry about that.
00:07:26.440 Indoors, I thought it was a little scary. 1.00
00:07:30.840 You wouldn't have been bothered by that?
00:07:32.120 You know, I...
00:07:32.880 You would have hugged everybody
00:07:33.660 who people flying all over the world?
00:07:35.860 I will tell you,
00:07:36.080 no, I probably wouldn't.
00:07:37.300 No, I probably wouldn't have hugged everybody.
00:07:40.400 You know, but I'm up here
00:07:42.140 in a small town in Idaho,
00:07:44.300 and I don't see anybody wearing masks.
00:07:47.000 Yeah, I bet not.
00:07:48.000 There is nobody wearing masks.
00:07:50.760 And, you know, there's like one case
00:07:53.640 in the county or something like that.
00:07:55.420 I mean, it's not a problem.
00:07:58.200 But I'm...
00:07:58.740 But if you're here,
00:07:59.700 I'm bothered...
00:08:00.820 You're a hugger.
00:08:01.540 Would you be hugging people
00:08:03.020 if you were back in Dallas?
00:08:04.380 No.
00:08:05.180 Yeah.
00:08:05.840 No.
00:08:06.700 Probably not.
00:08:08.100 But, you know,
00:08:08.740 I don't want to be stupid,
00:08:11.220 but I also don't want to be played either.
00:08:13.540 I know, me too.
00:08:14.220 You know, what causes me
00:08:15.400 to distrust all this
00:08:17.280 is how it's come down on party lines.
00:08:20.300 I don't understand that.
00:08:21.700 Yeah, it's crazy.
00:08:22.540 How is that possible?
00:08:24.680 How's that possible?
00:08:26.360 And it's possible
00:08:27.540 because science has so discredited themselves
00:08:31.280 that we don't know what's true anymore.
00:08:34.400 We don't just blindly trust science anymore
00:08:37.660 because they've made science political.
00:08:41.480 And once everything in our life is political,
00:08:44.680 I mean, geez, Pat,
00:08:47.120 what isn't political?
00:08:48.800 I think pretty much everything is.
00:08:53.240 I can't think of anything.
00:08:54.140 Yeah, everything is.
00:08:54.940 Everything is.
00:08:55.720 Masks are.
00:08:56.420 Everything is.
00:08:57.860 Right.
00:08:58.520 And you've got sports.
00:09:01.980 I mean, why is sports political?
00:09:05.560 Why?
00:09:06.740 There's no reason for it.
00:09:08.960 It was brought in to divide us even more
00:09:12.540 so we can have...
00:09:13.520 I mean, if that line from Michelle Obama...
00:09:16.680 Do we have that Michelle Obama line?
00:09:18.800 If that line from Michelle Obama
00:09:20.440 when she was on the campaign trail 0.65
00:09:22.220 with Barack Obama
00:09:23.240 doesn't come to your head,
00:09:25.620 oh, my gosh.
00:09:26.920 Listen.
00:09:27.960 And Barack knows
00:09:28.880 that we are going to have to make sacrifices.
00:09:31.560 We are going to have to change our conversation.
00:09:34.260 We're going to have to change our traditions,
00:09:36.580 our history.
00:09:37.300 We're going to have to move
00:09:38.420 into a different place.
00:09:40.480 We've done that.
00:09:42.060 I mean, that's...
00:09:42.780 We've done it all.
00:09:43.660 That's been done.
00:09:44.360 Our conversations are not anything
00:09:45.920 like they used to be.
00:09:47.020 Right.
00:09:47.280 Nothing like they used to be.
00:09:50.160 Our traditions,
00:09:51.740 our history,
00:09:52.800 all of it is going out the window.
00:09:55.180 Look how they made us ashamed.
00:09:57.100 Ashamed of our history.
00:09:59.120 If you celebrated during the 4th of July,
00:10:01.480 you got hammered on Twitter for it.
00:10:03.520 That's just crazy to me.
00:10:05.800 How did we get here?
00:10:06.860 We got here because we didn't see
00:10:11.780 how big the threat was.
00:10:13.520 We got here because, quite honestly,
00:10:15.980 we didn't listen to warnings
00:10:18.080 like I gave back in the early 2000s
00:10:21.540 of organizations like the Tides Foundation.
00:10:24.880 We didn't dismantle the Tides Foundation.
00:10:28.320 We didn't look into it.
00:10:29.840 We still, to this day,
00:10:31.640 refuse to see George Soros as a threat.
00:10:34.540 George Soros is a massive threat.
00:10:37.960 Now, he could disappear
00:10:39.760 and be taken into space by aliens.
00:10:42.700 It doesn't matter.
00:10:43.820 It's his money at this point.
00:10:46.240 It's the money of the Ford Foundation.
00:10:49.680 That's what's happening.
00:10:51.060 How is Black Lives Matter 0.99
00:10:53.060 sitting in our schools right now?
00:10:56.180 Right now, it's sitting in our schools
00:10:58.440 waiting to be devoured by our kids.
00:11:01.300 How's that possible?
00:11:02.760 Because of big money
00:11:04.240 like the Ford Foundation
00:11:06.080 and Open Society from George Soros.
00:11:09.360 That's how these things get done.
00:11:11.100 Just to back up what you're saying,
00:11:12.500 let me play for you a real quick interview
00:11:15.420 from Lord Jamar, who's a rapper.
00:11:18.140 And I'd never heard of him before,
00:11:19.720 but the guy makes all kinds of sense.
00:11:21.460 I'm not no Black Lives Matter supporter.
00:11:24.000 You're not?
00:11:24.480 No, absolutely.
00:11:25.360 Why not?
00:11:26.000 Because it's not our movement.
00:11:27.280 This is a movement that was given to us
00:11:29.720 by George Soros and his fucking boys 0.58
00:11:33.760 because they saw how things were going
00:11:39.960 and they didn't want it to go back to the 60s
00:11:42.320 to where we start having our own organic movements.
00:11:45.200 That was a big fucking problem for them.
00:11:46.960 So let's give the people a movement
00:11:49.060 that we can control.
00:11:51.200 We'll provide them the leaders
00:11:53.080 and all of this type of shit.
00:11:55.220 And yeah, that's what Black Lives Matter is.
00:12:00.620 Is that great?
00:12:01.600 I mean, brilliant.
00:12:02.180 So he's right that it is not a black movement.
00:12:05.960 It is a gay and lesbian,
00:12:09.480 Marxist, radical movement.
00:12:13.460 Yeah.
00:12:13.880 So that's what that is.
00:12:16.120 But I think it's worse than what he said.
00:12:18.520 He said it was given
00:12:19.420 so we wouldn't start our own movement.
00:12:21.280 No, no, no.
00:12:23.040 No, it was it was given
00:12:24.380 because they know they can use the black community.
00:12:29.200 They really believe that the black community
00:12:31.240 is so stupid
00:12:32.640 that they can be used every step of the way
00:12:36.300 that they can they can be wrapped up
00:12:38.500 into something like this
00:12:40.300 and nobody's going to look into it
00:12:42.340 and nobody will care
00:12:43.680 and it will help destroy the black community 1.00
00:12:47.520 and the United States of America.
00:12:50.480 That's what this is really all about.
00:12:52.660 I mean, you want to talk about a racist movement.
00:12:55.180 It's it's what the white leadership 0.80
00:12:58.600 of Black Lives Matter
00:13:00.460 and the big funders of Black Lives Matter
00:13:02.800 actually believe.
00:13:04.500 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:13:21.280 I'm very concerned, Votie,
00:13:24.100 about something that is is happening here in America.
00:13:27.080 Actually, the best the best case of this to to highlight
00:13:32.580 happened in Indiana.
00:13:34.480 A priest got up, spoke a sermon
00:13:37.180 and spoke of good and evil
00:13:39.720 and and named Black Lives Matter
00:13:42.300 as evil
00:13:44.260 and actually described why it was evil
00:13:47.940 and he was accurate.
00:13:49.260 He's now been replaced at his church
00:13:52.120 and, you know,
00:13:53.240 they've got him in some witness protection program
00:13:55.720 or something.
00:13:56.200 And if if Catholics and all Christians 0.97
00:13:59.100 don't start to stand up,
00:14:01.300 we're in real, real trouble.
00:14:05.340 Yeah, we most assuredly are.
00:14:08.680 And it's not just happening there.
00:14:10.140 It's happening all over the country.
00:14:11.520 And I've been saying that it would come for the church.
00:14:14.220 It has to come for the church
00:14:15.440 because it has to
00:14:17.080 if you accept critical theory,
00:14:18.460 which is the foundation upon which
00:14:19.860 Black Lives Matter
00:14:21.420 and, you know,
00:14:22.620 all of these different movements is,
00:14:24.180 you know, based.
00:14:25.080 If you accept critical theory
00:14:26.720 and the idea that
00:14:27.920 the world and America
00:14:30.680 is divided between oppressors
00:14:32.620 and the oppressed,
00:14:34.500 if you accept their definition of whiteness,
00:14:36.400 of white supremacy,
00:14:37.740 of white privilege and everything else,
00:14:40.100 then ultimately
00:14:41.680 you have to recognize the fact
00:14:44.600 that the church
00:14:45.580 and Christianity
00:14:46.860 in their eyes
00:14:49.080 is the source of the oppression.
00:14:51.760 So
00:14:51.900 everybody knows
00:14:53.720 that they list off,
00:14:55.200 you know,
00:14:55.520 white, male,
00:14:58.100 you know,
00:14:58.360 able-bodied,
00:14:59.660 cisgendered,
00:15:00.540 so on and so forth,
00:15:01.580 you know,
00:15:01.880 when they're talking about the oppressor
00:15:03.220 or the white supremacist or whatever.
00:15:04.920 But what a lot of people don't realize
00:15:06.600 is that Christian
00:15:08.080 is part of that list.
00:15:09.860 And so when they talk about
00:15:10.740 America's Original Sin,
00:15:12.720 and they give you a book
00:15:13.680 about that title,
00:15:15.300 you know,
00:15:15.580 America's Original Sin 0.88
00:15:17.260 by Jim Wallace,
00:15:18.720 you know,
00:15:19.740 when they talk about it,
00:15:20.740 they lay that
00:15:21.600 at the feet of
00:15:22.720 Christianity itself.
00:15:24.720 And so
00:15:25.440 they have to come for the church.
00:15:27.200 And that's why I believe
00:15:28.300 it's so dangerous,
00:15:29.000 and that's why I talked about
00:15:30.040 this idea of the woke Shahada,
00:15:32.060 you know,
00:15:32.440 this,
00:15:32.600 you have to
00:15:34.520 say Black Lives Matter.
00:15:35.940 I can't believe
00:15:36.600 how many times
00:15:37.400 I've seen people
00:15:38.400 pressed
00:15:39.060 as to whether or not
00:15:40.620 they would speak
00:15:41.800 the phrase.
00:15:42.780 This is dangerous.
00:15:46.280 So explain,
00:15:48.500 because I,
00:15:49.860 I feel
00:15:51.980 really impressed
00:15:53.580 to start
00:15:54.880 speaking
00:15:55.700 to Christians
00:15:56.960 and
00:15:58.800 start
00:15:59.480 waking
00:16:00.120 Christians up 1.00
00:16:01.280 because
00:16:01.860 I think
00:16:03.560 the black community
00:16:04.540 because of
00:16:06.280 their relationship
00:16:06.980 with God
00:16:07.740 and those
00:16:09.020 Christians
00:16:10.300 who are white
00:16:11.120 or of any other color,
00:16:12.840 if they are still
00:16:13.920 attached to God,
00:16:15.040 they are the ones
00:16:16.160 that are going to
00:16:16.920 repair this.
00:16:18.580 Because I think
00:16:19.260 we're in,
00:16:19.960 we're in the beginning
00:16:20.960 of the end battle,
00:16:22.220 it seems.
00:16:23.460 This is,
00:16:24.440 we are battling
00:16:25.380 evil
00:16:26.240 at a global scale.
00:16:29.860 Yeah,
00:16:30.440 you know,
00:16:30.800 and I think
00:16:31.240 you hit the nail
00:16:32.180 on the head
00:16:32.600 and this is
00:16:33.180 my biggest problem.
00:16:34.040 I've said this before
00:16:34.780 and I'll say this again.
00:16:36.180 My biggest problem
00:16:37.320 with this
00:16:37.980 is that
00:16:38.340 we're moving
00:16:39.800 into
00:16:40.320 a direction
00:16:41.260 that says
00:16:41.860 the church
00:16:42.800 is not
00:16:44.180 the answer,
00:16:44.800 the gospel
00:16:45.280 is not
00:16:46.040 the answer,
00:16:46.700 Christ
00:16:47.020 is not
00:16:47.680 the answer.
00:16:48.740 In fact,
00:16:49.580 the church,
00:16:50.200 the gospel,
00:16:50.820 and Christ
00:16:51.240 are part
00:16:51.900 of the problem
00:16:52.600 and Black Lives Matter
00:16:54.800 and,
00:16:55.660 you know,
00:16:56.680 their openly
00:16:57.700 Marxist,
00:16:58.780 you know,
00:16:59.140 ideology
00:16:59.740 is the answer.
00:17:01.240 And I know
00:17:01.920 you've gone
00:17:02.340 over this
00:17:02.800 before,
00:17:03.400 but,
00:17:03.960 you know,
00:17:04.460 the idea
00:17:05.500 that these people
00:17:06.420 say we're self-reflexive
00:17:08.080 and do the work
00:17:08.900 required to dismantle
00:17:10.920 cisgender privilege,
00:17:13.600 right,
00:17:13.980 that they want
00:17:14.740 to uplift
00:17:15.280 Black trans folk,
00:17:17.280 that they want
00:17:18.880 to replace
00:17:19.680 the idea
00:17:20.400 or dismantle
00:17:21.600 patriarchal
00:17:22.980 nuclear family
00:17:24.000 structures,
00:17:24.600 these things
00:17:28.360 go to the heart
00:17:29.260 of who we are
00:17:30.820 as Christians.
00:17:32.200 And one of the things
00:17:33.260 that I've been saying
00:17:33.840 for a while
00:17:34.380 is I love
00:17:35.580 the illustration
00:17:36.140 of the social justice
00:17:37.420 movement,
00:17:38.060 which is really
00:17:38.780 the critical
00:17:39.300 social justice movement
00:17:40.220 because critical theory
00:17:41.140 is at the core
00:17:43.040 of this.
00:17:44.220 But the critical
00:17:44.740 social justice,
00:17:45.280 Marxist,
00:17:45.980 it's like a train,
00:17:46.800 and it has
00:17:48.740 multiple cars.
00:17:50.660 And the first car
00:17:52.400 behind the engine
00:17:53.280 is the ethnic car,
00:17:56.120 the racial car,
00:17:57.340 right,
00:17:57.620 racial justice.
00:17:59.160 And you get everybody,
00:18:00.120 you know,
00:18:00.520 on board with that
00:18:01.480 because nobody wants
00:18:02.120 to be a racist,
00:18:02.740 everybody wants
00:18:03.120 racial justice.
00:18:04.180 And then behind that,
00:18:05.680 you know,
00:18:06.100 you have gender equality,
00:18:08.280 behind that LGBTQ, 1.00
00:18:10.340 AI plus,
00:18:11.620 and then behind that,
00:18:13.000 you know,
00:18:13.280 a whole host
00:18:14.460 of other things
00:18:15.520 that come along
00:18:16.580 with it.
00:18:17.400 And what worries me
00:18:18.300 is that Christians 0.54
00:18:18.920 believe that they
00:18:19.740 can jump on
00:18:20.640 one of those cars,
00:18:22.420 right,
00:18:22.640 the racial justice car,
00:18:23.840 and not be carried along
00:18:25.360 where the rest of the train
00:18:26.260 is going.
00:18:27.080 And that's naive.
00:18:31.580 So,
00:18:32.320 why is it
00:18:33.280 we're so asleep,
00:18:35.700 Bodie?
00:18:36.220 What's happened
00:18:37.120 to the church?
00:18:38.180 It's dead asleep.
00:18:40.420 You know,
00:18:40.720 I think there's
00:18:41.120 a couple of things,
00:18:41.860 Glenn.
00:18:42.060 People mean well.
00:18:44.380 Christians
00:18:44.860 hate injustice.
00:18:46.780 So,
00:18:46.980 just think about
00:18:48.120 how ingenious it is.
00:18:49.740 This is what Satan does.
00:18:51.780 Think about how ingenious
00:18:53.020 it is
00:18:53.500 the way some of these
00:18:54.960 openly
00:18:55.800 anti-Christian
00:18:57.300 movements
00:18:58.680 name themselves,
00:19:01.100 right?
00:19:01.640 Black lives matter.
00:19:03.480 Oh,
00:19:03.900 I mean,
00:19:04.360 who's gonna say
00:19:05.560 black lives don't matter, 1.00
00:19:06.920 right?
00:19:07.600 And now,
00:19:08.120 all of a sudden,
00:19:08.740 you have an organization
00:19:09.680 that is antithetical
00:19:10.600 to Christianity
00:19:11.120 with a phrase
00:19:12.460 that you feel like,
00:19:13.700 but this is not
00:19:14.300 the first time.
00:19:15.140 Think about
00:19:15.660 planned parenthood.
00:19:17.280 I mean,
00:19:18.740 how deceptive
00:19:20.220 is that?
00:19:21.940 Planned parenthood.
00:19:23.180 Who could be against
00:19:24.100 something called,
00:19:25.000 you know,
00:19:25.500 planned parenthood?
00:19:26.540 And so on and so forth.
00:19:27.520 It goes down the line.
00:19:30.160 This is not
00:19:31.620 something new.
00:19:33.000 And so,
00:19:33.540 they get to the heart
00:19:34.760 of,
00:19:35.180 again,
00:19:35.900 Christians. 0.51
00:19:36.820 We love God.
00:19:38.940 We love people.
00:19:40.900 We hate racism.
00:19:43.280 If you don't hate racism,
00:19:45.180 check yourself.
00:19:46.060 You're not a Christian. 1.00
00:19:47.060 We're part of the body of Christ.
00:19:48.460 We belong to one another.
00:19:49.580 And I talk about that
00:19:50.200 in that racial reconciliation mess.
00:19:52.200 And so,
00:19:52.680 if somebody comes
00:19:53.580 and talks about anti-racism
00:19:55.060 and you don't know
00:19:56.420 what they mean by that,
00:19:58.160 you're like,
00:19:58.800 yeah,
00:19:59.260 I'm on board with that.
00:20:00.340 And so,
00:20:01.100 Christians
00:20:01.540 are being sucked in
00:20:03.820 because
00:20:04.440 they see injustices,
00:20:07.080 right?
00:20:08.360 Nobody would argue
00:20:09.340 that there are no injustices.
00:20:11.800 And so,
00:20:12.220 Christians have these injustices 1.00
00:20:13.580 pointed out
00:20:14.240 and they're like,
00:20:14.860 yeah,
00:20:15.180 this stuff is wrong.
00:20:16.540 And it's like,
00:20:17.300 okay,
00:20:17.720 cool,
00:20:18.020 we've got an answer for you.
00:20:19.680 And this answer
00:20:20.740 is based in critical theory
00:20:22.520 and then what they've done
00:20:23.720 is they've created
00:20:25.220 an entire vocabulary.
00:20:28.360 It's like,
00:20:29.260 there's two books
00:20:30.740 I'm thinking about right now
00:20:31.920 that I've been talking about
00:20:33.020 right now.
00:20:33.880 Orwell's 1984
00:20:34.760 and Animal Farm.
00:20:37.580 And those two books,
00:20:38.700 you know,
00:20:38.940 unfortunately,
00:20:39.540 we don't even read
00:20:40.660 those anymore.
00:20:41.400 People don't even read
00:20:42.040 those anymore in school.
00:20:43.220 But this is newspeak.
00:20:45.580 They redefine words
00:20:47.980 so that they don't mean
00:20:49.420 what they used to mean.
00:20:51.120 And then they
00:20:51.960 employ those words
00:20:54.260 in an effort
00:20:56.080 to get their ideology
00:20:59.640 in front of us
00:21:01.920 in ways that seem
00:21:03.540 very palatable.
00:21:05.100 And before we know it,
00:21:06.420 we're carried along
00:21:08.080 in something
00:21:09.320 that is actually
00:21:10.300 antithetical
00:21:11.460 to the gospel
00:21:12.540 that we hold dear
00:21:13.800 and antithetical
00:21:14.840 to the goals
00:21:15.680 that we have
00:21:16.560 that we think
00:21:17.380 they're going to help us
00:21:18.720 achieve.
00:21:19.320 You know,
00:21:21.780 you bring up 1984
00:21:23.340 and I started
00:21:24.400 the program today
00:21:26.700 with, you know,
00:21:28.720 let's all remember
00:21:30.040 the slogans
00:21:30.740 of the party.
00:21:32.040 War is peace. 0.96
00:21:33.360 Freedom is slavery.
00:21:34.720 Ignorance is strength.
00:21:35.860 And it goes on.
00:21:38.580 Who controls the past
00:21:40.420 controls the future.
00:21:42.020 Who controls the present
00:21:43.660 controls the past.
00:21:45.760 Everything in,
00:21:46.660 I just re-read 1984.
00:21:49.340 Everything in it
00:21:50.680 is happening right now.
00:21:52.520 It is,
00:21:53.240 it's no longer
00:21:54.900 reading fiction.
00:21:55.980 It is reading
00:21:56.640 a newspaper.
00:21:58.660 Well,
00:21:59.020 but you have to understand,
00:21:59.940 though,
00:22:00.360 that, you know,
00:22:00.840 when you're looking
00:22:01.420 at 1984
00:22:01.980 and when you're looking
00:22:03.060 at Animal Farm
00:22:04.140 and, you know,
00:22:05.020 these books
00:22:05.640 weren't written
00:22:06.640 as pure fiction.
00:22:08.600 These books
00:22:09.140 were written
00:22:09.880 in order to
00:22:10.680 communicate the truth
00:22:12.680 about this same
00:22:14.360 ideology
00:22:15.200 that has been around
00:22:16.980 for a long time
00:22:17.940 and we've seen
00:22:19.160 how this story ends.
00:22:21.440 So,
00:22:21.780 the beauty of those books
00:22:23.080 is not just
00:22:24.020 that they're
00:22:24.660 good fiction,
00:22:26.140 but they're fiction
00:22:27.180 that really
00:22:28.800 helped to illustrate
00:22:30.220 what happens
00:22:31.240 when, you know,
00:22:32.620 Marxism,
00:22:33.380 communism,
00:22:34.140 you know,
00:22:34.680 first,
00:22:35.260 you know,
00:22:35.880 two legs bad,
00:22:37.360 four legs good,
00:22:38.580 right?
00:22:39.300 You know,
00:22:40.080 then all animals
00:22:41.560 are created equal
00:22:42.380 and then all of a sudden
00:22:43.420 some animals
00:22:44.220 are more equal
00:22:44.780 than others
00:22:45.260 and now you've got
00:22:46.020 the pigs walking
00:22:46.620 on two legs
00:22:47.280 and, by the way,
00:22:47.980 if you don't know
00:22:48.400 Animal Farm,
00:22:49.340 go get a copy
00:22:50.160 of Animal Farm,
00:22:51.640 read Animal Farm,
00:22:53.100 read 1984
00:22:53.760 because, again,
00:22:55.680 these things are
00:22:56.160 very instructive
00:22:57.020 and informative
00:22:58.140 as to these strategies
00:22:59.820 that we're seeing unfold
00:23:00.860 and people have seen
00:23:01.660 these strategies
00:23:02.280 unfold before.
00:23:04.140 And newspeak
00:23:05.180 is a really
00:23:05.820 important part of this.
00:23:07.080 Redefining terms
00:23:08.080 is a really
00:23:08.640 important part of this.
00:23:14.220 This is the best
00:23:15.820 of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:23:16.920 Doctor, welcome to the
00:23:28.800 program.
00:23:29.120 How are you?
00:23:30.060 Very well.
00:23:30.960 Thanks for having me.
00:23:31.860 You bet.
00:23:32.460 So, I think most
00:23:34.000 Americans are confused
00:23:35.780 and some people
00:23:37.320 are saying that
00:23:37.960 these numbers
00:23:38.540 going through the roof
00:23:39.460 are bad.
00:23:40.740 I just heard
00:23:41.400 an argument
00:23:41.820 this morning
00:23:42.440 saying that
00:23:43.860 what's happening
00:23:45.140 in Florida
00:23:45.780 is happening
00:23:46.980 everywhere
00:23:47.520 and it's
00:23:48.740 no big deal.
00:23:50.040 This is all
00:23:50.620 about politics.
00:23:52.220 What's the truth?
00:23:53.280 Well, I mean,
00:23:56.340 I think that
00:23:56.940 everything should be
00:23:58.020 done, of course,
00:23:59.060 by looking at the data
00:24:00.260 instead of just
00:24:01.260 sort of models
00:24:02.500 or even just
00:24:03.560 allowing fear
00:24:04.400 to go into
00:24:04.920 the exchange here.
00:24:06.160 So, if we look
00:24:07.180 at the data,
00:24:08.000 we see there's
00:24:08.840 no question
00:24:09.820 that cases
00:24:10.420 are increasing
00:24:11.360 in many states
00:24:13.660 and there's
00:24:14.720 that's to be
00:24:16.240 expected
00:24:16.760 for a few reasons.
00:24:18.280 Number one,
00:24:19.460 we have a
00:24:19.860 contagious disease
00:24:20.620 present
00:24:21.080 and when there's
00:24:21.680 more social
00:24:22.420 mingling,
00:24:23.700 there's going
00:24:24.120 to be more
00:24:24.680 cases.
00:24:25.920 And, of course,
00:24:26.440 when we test
00:24:27.080 more,
00:24:27.640 we're going
00:24:27.940 to detect
00:24:28.500 more cases.
00:24:29.780 And when we
00:24:30.240 have thousands
00:24:30.780 and thousands
00:24:31.380 of people
00:24:32.120 in the streets
00:24:32.980 protesting
00:24:33.760 and screaming 0.96
00:24:34.980 and sharing
00:24:35.940 megaphones,
00:24:36.620 we're going
00:24:36.980 to have more
00:24:37.640 cases.
00:24:38.540 The only question
00:24:39.360 really is
00:24:40.180 what's the
00:24:41.100 significance
00:24:41.560 of these cases
00:24:42.520 and how are we
00:24:43.160 going to handle
00:24:43.760 these consequences?
00:24:45.900 First and foremost,
00:24:46.980 the overwhelming
00:24:47.440 majority of
00:24:48.200 people that
00:24:48.620 are getting
00:24:49.000 these cases
00:24:49.820 are younger,
00:24:50.820 healthier people.
00:24:51.940 These are people
00:24:52.800 from the facts,
00:24:54.180 from the evidence,
00:24:55.020 from all over the
00:24:55.660 world, including
00:24:56.280 the United States,
00:24:57.840 are not at
00:24:58.520 significant risk
00:24:59.500 generally from
00:25:00.640 this infection.
00:25:02.440 In fact,
00:25:03.060 the overwhelming
00:25:03.700 majority of
00:25:04.720 people recover
00:25:05.940 fully from the
00:25:06.740 infection.
00:25:07.340 So that's not
00:25:08.200 really the issue.
00:25:10.000 In fact,
00:25:10.600 the issue is
00:25:11.480 only really
00:25:12.240 twofold.
00:25:12.980 Number one,
00:25:13.720 we want to do
00:25:14.360 our best to
00:25:15.240 protect the people
00:25:17.140 who are at
00:25:17.580 high risk
00:25:18.140 to actually
00:25:18.780 die from
00:25:19.460 this.
00:25:20.100 And we're
00:25:20.580 not doing
00:25:21.200 that perfectly,
00:25:22.660 of course.
00:25:23.120 We're better
00:25:23.600 at it.
00:25:24.200 I know we're
00:25:24.720 better because
00:25:25.280 we don't see
00:25:26.280 the explosion
00:25:26.920 in deaths
00:25:27.580 that we would
00:25:28.120 have expected
00:25:28.760 or would have
00:25:29.700 seen in the
00:25:30.100 beginning of
00:25:30.620 this.
00:25:31.520 And, you
00:25:32.040 know,
00:25:32.220 we have
00:25:32.960 learned.
00:25:33.520 So we know
00:25:34.040 that we need
00:25:34.560 to protect
00:25:35.120 the elderly,
00:25:36.920 high risk
00:25:37.300 people,
00:25:37.600 particularly in
00:25:38.040 nursing homes.
00:25:38.640 Now we as a
00:25:39.640 nation have
00:25:40.180 failed at doing
00:25:41.040 that from
00:25:41.880 coast to coast
00:25:42.620 as most
00:25:43.280 countries in the
00:25:43.880 world failed.
00:25:44.680 But the second
00:25:45.720 part of the
00:25:46.240 policy and the
00:25:46.900 only thing that
00:25:47.680 really is the
00:25:48.500 focus of any
00:25:49.700 so-called
00:25:50.200 flattening of
00:25:50.880 the curve is
00:25:51.600 to prevent
00:25:52.060 hospitals from
00:25:53.420 being overcrowded.
00:25:54.900 This is the
00:25:55.640 point of the
00:25:56.260 policy.
00:25:56.740 The policy was
00:25:57.660 never stop all
00:25:59.220 cases of COVID
00:26:00.300 and it frankly
00:26:01.580 was never to
00:26:02.740 stop all deaths
00:26:03.760 from COVID
00:26:04.320 because we have
00:26:05.180 a case of a
00:26:06.300 disease here
00:26:07.120 with a fatality
00:26:08.940 rate greater
00:26:09.680 than zero.
00:26:10.460 And every
00:26:11.400 single disease
00:26:12.260 with a fatality
00:26:13.080 rate greater
00:26:13.660 than zero
00:26:14.480 necessarily there
00:26:16.240 are people that
00:26:16.940 are going to
00:26:17.620 die.
00:26:18.000 We're going to
00:26:18.420 minimize that.
00:26:19.460 We do our
00:26:19.840 best to
00:26:20.460 minimize that
00:26:21.400 and that
00:26:22.160 should be
00:26:23.420 sort of
00:26:24.480 doable
00:26:24.880 because we
00:26:25.800 know who
00:26:26.220 to protect.
00:26:27.100 The overwhelming
00:26:28.080 majority of
00:26:28.900 people that
00:26:29.920 die are
00:26:30.720 over 70
00:26:31.720 and in some
00:26:32.400 cases over
00:26:33.140 80 depending
00:26:33.960 upon the
00:26:34.460 analyses.
00:26:35.300 Two-thirds
00:26:35.720 of three-fourths
00:26:36.380 of people are
00:26:36.940 over 70
00:26:37.700 whereas
00:26:38.720 younger,
00:26:39.920 healthier
00:26:40.400 people have
00:26:41.420 extremely low
00:26:42.280 risk.
00:26:42.700 In fact,
00:26:43.380 the infection
00:26:43.880 fatality rate
00:26:46.040 for people who
00:26:47.180 are under 70
00:26:48.220 is 0.04,
00:26:50.500 less than or
00:26:51.020 equal to
00:26:51.420 seasonal flu.
00:26:53.080 Okay, so this
00:26:53.780 is really a
00:26:54.520 message that
00:26:55.100 has never been
00:26:55.900 stressed to
00:26:56.580 people and
00:26:57.640 frankly, one of
00:26:59.240 the egregious
00:26:59.840 failures here of
00:27:00.820 the policy people
00:27:01.920 is not just to
00:27:03.220 allow fear to
00:27:04.300 infiltrate their
00:27:05.220 own thinking
00:27:05.820 and do
00:27:06.660 lockdowns which
00:27:07.740 are severely
00:27:08.340 harmful as I
00:27:09.380 can articulate
00:27:10.140 that.
00:27:11.280 But secondly,
00:27:12.440 they have
00:27:12.960 failed to
00:27:13.700 reassure the
00:27:14.320 public about
00:27:15.600 the facts and
00:27:16.640 about the
00:27:17.180 relative risk
00:27:18.200 here.
00:27:18.440 It's a very
00:27:19.120 serious,
00:27:19.980 dangerous disease
00:27:20.780 for a group
00:27:21.920 of people and
00:27:23.320 we know who
00:27:24.000 those people
00:27:24.640 are.
00:27:25.160 They are high
00:27:25.820 risk, elderly
00:27:26.880 people with
00:27:27.740 comorbidities.
00:27:28.920 Everybody else,
00:27:29.940 it's not a
00:27:30.580 high risk
00:27:31.060 disease.
00:27:31.480 So why is
00:27:34.180 it when I
00:27:34.720 see, you
00:27:35.540 know, the
00:27:35.920 governor of
00:27:36.840 Texas who
00:27:38.100 has done a
00:27:38.640 really good
00:27:39.120 job, but
00:27:39.620 when he comes
00:27:40.120 out and
00:27:40.380 says, you
00:27:41.140 know what,
00:27:41.540 I'm thinking
00:27:42.120 we may have
00:27:43.360 to do a
00:27:44.080 significant
00:27:45.060 lockdown of
00:27:46.380 the state if
00:27:47.560 these numbers
00:27:48.060 continue.
00:27:48.840 Well, wait a
00:27:49.600 minute.
00:27:50.000 Why are you
00:27:50.780 locking down
00:27:51.400 the entire
00:27:51.960 state?
00:27:52.560 Why aren't
00:27:53.140 we just
00:27:53.800 protecting those
00:27:54.980 people in
00:27:55.700 that category?
00:27:57.040 Why have
00:27:57.540 we gone off
00:27:58.140 the rails on
00:27:58.840 this?
00:27:59.160 Well, again,
00:28:01.660 like, you
00:28:02.340 know, I
00:28:02.660 sort of try
00:28:03.240 to empathize
00:28:04.060 with the
00:28:04.520 fear, including
00:28:05.740 of the public
00:28:06.400 officials, but
00:28:07.200 I don't
00:28:07.620 empathize with
00:28:08.440 the ignorance
00:28:09.080 and the lack
00:28:09.760 of ability to
00:28:10.560 use critical
00:28:11.040 thinking on
00:28:11.660 the data by
00:28:12.300 the people
00:28:12.800 talking to
00:28:13.520 them.
00:28:14.380 And again,
00:28:15.900 to emphasize,
00:28:16.940 we want to
00:28:17.380 protect the
00:28:17.900 high risk
00:28:18.180 people.
00:28:18.600 We also need
00:28:19.280 to protect
00:28:20.020 the hospitals
00:28:21.120 to some
00:28:21.680 extent, because
00:28:22.580 we absolutely
00:28:23.800 were killing
00:28:24.760 people by
00:28:25.620 locking out
00:28:26.480 regular medical
00:28:27.560 care.
00:28:28.400 And we have
00:28:29.040 data on
00:28:29.740 that, you
00:28:30.220 know, 650,000
00:28:31.480 people with
00:28:32.140 cancer, you
00:28:33.020 know, half
00:28:33.640 of them missed
00:28:34.160 their chemotherapy
00:28:34.900 and I could
00:28:35.480 go on and
00:28:36.000 on.
00:28:36.380 This is
00:28:36.680 factually
00:28:37.280 true.
00:28:37.920 In fact, in
00:28:38.760 Texas alone,
00:28:39.820 by the way,
00:28:41.160 of the excess
00:28:42.460 deaths over
00:28:44.040 expected baseline
00:28:45.300 from last year,
00:28:46.360 almost two
00:28:47.240 thirds were
00:28:48.340 non-COVID
00:28:49.540 people.
00:28:50.820 That means
00:28:52.140 that we killed
00:28:53.400 people with
00:28:54.200 the lockdown,
00:28:55.620 particularly the
00:28:56.440 lockdown of
00:28:56.980 medical care,
00:28:57.760 not to mention
00:28:58.420 the lockdown
00:28:59.080 causing
00:29:00.220 increased
00:29:00.720 suicides,
00:29:01.320 increased
00:29:01.600 opioid
00:29:02.040 deaths,
00:29:02.440 and that's
00:29:02.780 all statistically
00:29:03.400 proven.
00:29:04.440 Okay, so
00:29:04.860 this is not
00:29:05.740 arguable.
00:29:06.780 So the reality
00:29:07.480 that I want to
00:29:08.100 really make sure
00:29:08.860 though, the
00:29:09.300 Texas situation
00:29:10.360 is in certain
00:29:11.900 settings, in
00:29:12.780 certain hospitals,
00:29:13.720 they're getting
00:29:14.600 crowded.
00:29:15.160 In certain
00:29:15.680 hospitals in
00:29:16.580 Florida, they're 0.76
00:29:17.140 getting crowded.
00:29:17.560 I just looked
00:29:18.280 at the data
00:29:18.960 and we see
00:29:20.200 that overall,
00:29:21.900 okay, the
00:29:22.420 hospitals in
00:29:23.160 Texas are, say,
00:29:24.380 80 to 90%
00:29:25.600 occupied.
00:29:26.920 But when you
00:29:27.480 look at what
00:29:28.080 percent are
00:29:28.940 COVID patients
00:29:30.160 or what percent
00:29:31.100 are COVID
00:29:31.580 patients in
00:29:32.180 Arizona, they're
00:29:33.800 15 to 20%.
00:29:36.200 They're filling
00:29:37.900 these hospitals,
00:29:38.960 of course, but
00:29:40.020 it's the wave
00:29:40.940 of non-COVID
00:29:42.220 that's really
00:29:43.220 filling the
00:29:44.000 hospitals.
00:29:44.640 Yes, there are
00:29:45.240 more COVID
00:29:45.940 patients
00:29:46.460 hospitalizations.
00:29:48.160 And when there
00:29:48.800 are hospitals that
00:29:49.720 are overwhelmed,
00:29:50.620 although I just
00:29:51.260 looked again, for
00:29:52.160 instance, in
00:29:52.600 Florida, and
00:29:53.720 they still have
00:29:54.300 about 20% bed
00:29:55.460 occupancy and
00:29:56.340 about 20% ICU
00:29:57.820 occupancy, but
00:29:58.720 there are some
00:29:59.640 hospitals, isolated
00:30:00.920 hospitals, with
00:30:01.840 very crowded,
00:30:03.280 getting nervous
00:30:03.960 levels of ICU
00:30:06.140 occupancy.
00:30:07.160 Okay, well, here's
00:30:08.000 a policy issue.
00:30:09.940 We need to do
00:30:10.840 what we did for
00:30:11.900 New York and
00:30:13.260 supply extra
00:30:14.420 hospital capacity.
00:30:15.860 You're not going
00:30:16.580 to stop the
00:30:17.300 infection itself.
00:30:18.340 You just need to
00:30:19.240 be able to take
00:30:20.320 care of the
00:30:20.820 people who need
00:30:21.740 care.
00:30:22.160 Let me switch
00:30:25.660 to schools.
00:30:28.120 You know, before
00:30:29.080 I do that, well,
00:30:30.600 you decide the
00:30:31.440 order.
00:30:32.400 Schools have
00:30:33.880 got to be
00:30:35.000 opened.
00:30:35.680 They have got
00:30:36.320 to be opened.
00:30:37.020 We are harming
00:30:39.180 our children.
00:30:40.660 The Pediatric
00:30:41.540 Association has
00:30:43.500 come out and
00:30:44.420 said this as
00:30:45.160 well.
00:30:45.480 There is real
00:30:46.840 harm being done
00:30:48.000 to our society
00:30:49.140 by keeping
00:30:50.700 everything closed.
00:30:52.100 There's hard,
00:30:53.520 really bad
00:30:54.520 things happening
00:30:55.100 to our economy
00:30:56.220 as well, which
00:30:57.400 will have
00:30:57.820 ramifications.
00:30:58.620 But the
00:30:59.560 schools, should
00:31:01.160 the schools be
00:31:02.020 open or not?
00:31:03.380 This is a slam
00:31:06.760 dunk issue.
00:31:08.180 There is zero
00:31:09.180 science to
00:31:10.720 back up people
00:31:11.800 claiming the
00:31:12.600 schools should be
00:31:13.480 closed or even
00:31:14.920 opened with any
00:31:16.020 constraints
00:31:16.720 whatsoever.
00:31:18.340 And I can go
00:31:19.180 through the data,
00:31:20.460 but the fact is
00:31:21.660 the bottom line,
00:31:23.180 for instance,
00:31:24.020 Chama Pediatrics,
00:31:25.180 a very well-respected
00:31:26.160 pediatric journal,
00:31:27.700 published a study
00:31:29.120 including 46
00:31:30.440 hospitals in
00:31:31.120 North America,
00:31:31.880 and they said
00:31:32.820 the following,
00:31:33.920 quote,
00:31:34.720 our data indicate
00:31:36.000 that children are
00:31:36.900 at far greater
00:31:37.880 risk of critical
00:31:39.000 illness from
00:31:39.660 influenza than
00:31:41.060 from COVID-19.
00:31:43.060 Unquote.
00:31:44.280 Children are
00:31:45.300 at extraordinarily
00:31:46.220 low risk,
00:31:47.320 near zero,
00:31:48.520 of dying,
00:31:49.200 despite a
00:31:49.820 sensationalized
00:31:50.560 headline of,
00:31:51.640 yes, every child
00:31:52.980 that dies,
00:31:53.560 it's a tragic
00:31:54.140 loss.
00:31:54.680 I'm a parent,
00:31:55.460 I understand
00:31:55.940 that.
00:31:56.820 But the point
00:31:57.520 is that those
00:31:58.400 exceptions don't
00:31:59.500 disprove the
00:32:00.720 overwhelming data.
00:32:02.680 When we have
00:32:03.400 in the numbers
00:32:04.120 of roughly
00:32:04.740 30-some children
00:32:06.100 who have died
00:32:06.980 in the United
00:32:07.500 States this year
00:32:08.700 from COVID-19,
00:32:10.220 do people forget
00:32:11.140 that the last
00:32:12.200 estimate from
00:32:12.860 influenza deaths
00:32:13.940 from children
00:32:14.460 was about 600
00:32:15.680 in the season,
00:32:18.000 even with the
00:32:18.700 vaccines,
00:32:19.320 even with anything
00:32:20.260 we know about
00:32:20.880 decades of influenza.
00:32:22.140 And so,
00:32:22.740 we have to have
00:32:23.680 some perspective
00:32:24.500 here.
00:32:25.220 If we're going
00:32:25.840 to close schools
00:32:27.000 for the risk
00:32:27.840 to children,
00:32:29.300 then we must
00:32:30.720 close schools
00:32:31.580 every year
00:32:32.440 from November
00:32:33.040 through April
00:32:33.740 because that's
00:32:34.540 influenza season,
00:32:35.800 which, by the way,
00:32:36.640 kills 50-90,000
00:32:38.060 Americans per year.
00:32:39.640 Now, the reality,
00:32:40.660 though, is that
00:32:41.240 there's more to it
00:32:42.080 than that.
00:32:42.560 It's the teachers
00:32:43.380 who are saying
00:32:44.140 don't open the
00:32:45.020 schools because
00:32:45.860 there is no
00:32:47.000 science to say
00:32:48.140 there's a risk
00:32:48.720 to children.
00:32:49.760 The teaching
00:32:50.260 profession in the
00:32:51.060 United States
00:32:51.600 is a young
00:32:52.160 profession.
00:32:52.880 Of K-12 teachers,
00:32:54.100 half are under
00:32:54.760 41 years old.
00:32:56.260 82% are under
00:32:57.340 55.
00:32:57.920 These people do
00:32:58.420 not have a high
00:32:59.160 risk.
00:33:00.120 And the reality
00:33:00.840 is from data
00:33:01.920 all over the
00:33:02.920 world, on top
00:33:03.840 of all that,
00:33:05.360 that children
00:33:05.860 only rarely,
00:33:07.220 if ever,
00:33:07.700 transmit the
00:33:08.680 disease.
00:33:09.400 And this is
00:33:09.860 data from
00:33:11.020 Switzerland,
00:33:11.880 Canada, the
00:33:12.480 Netherlands, France,
00:33:13.620 Iceland, the
00:33:14.260 UK, Australia,
00:33:15.560 Ireland, all over 0.88
00:33:16.780 the world.
00:33:17.560 We don't reinvent
00:33:18.420 the wheel and
00:33:19.160 ignore all the
00:33:20.060 facts here.
00:33:20.720 For people that
00:33:21.360 say it's all
00:33:21.980 about the science,
00:33:22.600 let's look at
00:33:23.420 the science.
00:33:24.360 The science
00:33:24.940 says there is
00:33:26.380 no significant
00:33:27.440 risk to anyone
00:33:29.000 in a school.
00:33:29.980 In fact, it's
00:33:30.660 one of the
00:33:31.460 safest places
00:33:32.180 there are.
00:33:33.420 And so the
00:33:33.840 reality is that
00:33:35.440 people who are
00:33:36.220 saying, oh,
00:33:37.640 close the
00:33:38.380 schools, they
00:33:39.460 don't care about
00:33:40.160 the children,
00:33:40.880 period.
00:33:41.360 Let's get it on
00:33:42.160 the table here.
00:33:42.880 The teachers
00:33:43.400 that are against
00:33:43.980 opening are
00:33:44.940 literally saying
00:33:45.940 they do not
00:33:46.720 care about the
00:33:47.380 children because
00:33:48.500 they're ignoring
00:33:49.500 not only there's
00:33:50.820 no risk to the
00:33:51.480 children,
00:33:51.840 there's a harm
00:33:53.880 to the children,
00:33:54.660 a massive harm.
00:33:56.580 Distance learning
00:33:57.360 is proven to be
00:33:58.560 a failure from
00:33:59.480 coast to coast.
00:34:01.060 30%, 50% of
00:34:02.420 kids don't even
00:34:03.060 log on on any
00:34:04.280 given day.
00:34:05.480 Their reading
00:34:05.920 levels have been
00:34:06.600 estimated to drop
00:34:07.420 by 30% by some.
00:34:09.780 And we know
00:34:10.660 that this is
00:34:11.860 worse for lower
00:34:12.860 income families.
00:34:13.840 They don't have
00:34:14.320 what I call the
00:34:14.980 paraphernalia of
00:34:15.960 the affluent.
00:34:16.700 They're not just
00:34:17.100 going to buy a
00:34:17.880 bunch of iPads
00:34:18.820 and have a bunch
00:34:19.560 of tutors come
00:34:20.680 in and monitor
00:34:21.420 them.
00:34:21.840 And besides
00:34:22.780 that, schools
00:34:23.740 are where we
00:34:24.300 learn that
00:34:25.380 children have
00:34:26.360 a need for
00:34:27.460 hearing aid or
00:34:28.580 glasses.
00:34:29.840 The number one
00:34:30.640 agency where
00:34:31.440 child abuse is
00:34:32.620 found is by
00:34:34.380 the teachers in
00:34:35.220 the schools,
00:34:35.940 by the nurses
00:34:36.480 in the schools.
00:34:37.420 There's a
00:34:37.720 significant increase,
00:34:39.120 by the way,
00:34:39.500 as we know,
00:34:40.120 it's documented,
00:34:41.340 in child abuse
00:34:42.360 with maybe
00:34:43.220 35% of
00:34:44.520 pediatric ER
00:34:45.540 visits for
00:34:46.680 severe child
00:34:47.520 abuse increased
00:34:48.540 during the
00:34:49.180 lockdown, due to
00:34:50.140 the lockdown.
00:34:50.940 This is not a
00:34:51.440 virus effect.
00:34:52.280 This is the
00:34:52.700 lockdown.
00:34:53.720 And now we
00:34:54.240 see we're not
00:34:55.160 even going to
00:34:55.540 see the child
00:34:56.200 abuse.
00:34:56.660 By the way,
00:34:57.560 many of their
00:34:58.100 parents have
00:34:58.600 lost jobs.
00:34:59.340 When you lose
00:34:59.820 jobs, you have
00:35:00.480 stress, you have
00:35:01.080 increased opioid
00:35:01.920 relatedness, you
00:35:02.660 have increased
00:35:03.140 child abuse.
00:35:03.880 This is a
00:35:04.740 heinous, almost
00:35:05.860 criminal neglect.
00:35:07.920 Teachers are
00:35:08.700 not at risk.
00:35:10.960 Children have
00:35:11.800 virtually no
00:35:12.600 risk.
00:35:13.060 There is zero
00:35:13.840 reason to have
00:35:14.540 any spacing or
00:35:15.700 masks and create
00:35:16.940 a generation of
00:35:17.980 neurotic kids.
00:35:19.460 Aren't schools
00:35:20.060 an essential
00:35:20.660 business, by the
00:35:21.700 way?
00:35:22.320 And by the way,
00:35:23.200 the last I
00:35:23.880 looked, you
00:35:25.620 know, the
00:35:25.940 schools were for
00:35:26.520 the children, not
00:35:27.540 for the teachers.
00:35:28.480 If the teachers
00:35:29.220 are high risk, and
00:35:30.300 there are some
00:35:30.780 high risk, if
00:35:32.080 they believe that
00:35:32.900 masks and spacing
00:35:33.880 work, why can't
00:35:34.940 they use that in
00:35:35.560 the schools?
00:35:36.020 They must not
00:35:36.680 believe that that
00:35:37.420 works, or they
00:35:38.160 would say, we'll
00:35:38.700 do that.
00:35:39.580 And if they are
00:35:40.460 still afraid, by
00:35:41.560 the way, that's
00:35:42.860 fine.
00:35:43.340 High risk teachers,
00:35:44.380 in my opinion,
00:35:45.060 should be allowed
00:35:45.760 to teach from a
00:35:46.660 distance.
00:35:47.320 Since they
00:35:47.720 obviously believe
00:35:48.540 that distance
00:35:49.000 education works,
00:35:49.960 by the way, or
00:35:50.460 they wouldn't
00:35:50.800 advocate for it,
00:35:52.180 they can teach
00:35:52.880 from a distance.
00:35:53.560 That does not
00:35:54.240 have anything to
00:35:54.940 do with locking
00:35:56.500 down schools.
00:35:58.520 Teachers, of
00:36:00.040 all people, should
00:36:01.440 be prioritizing the
00:36:02.680 children, and
00:36:03.720 they obviously
00:36:04.480 understand that
00:36:05.620 children learn more
00:36:06.620 than just the book
00:36:07.520 information anyway.
00:36:09.260 When they are in
00:36:10.460 person, they learn
00:36:11.800 how to socially
00:36:12.560 mature, how to
00:36:13.360 work in groups,
00:36:14.680 how to resolve
00:36:15.460 conflicts, and
00:36:16.940 they need facial
00:36:17.880 expressions and
00:36:18.800 cues and all the
00:36:20.000 things that are
00:36:20.660 obvious.
00:36:21.360 These things don't 0.84
00:36:21.920 even have to be
00:36:22.560 said, but it's
00:36:23.660 beyond belief.
00:36:25.100 It's completely
00:36:25.900 antithetical to
00:36:27.000 science to insist
00:36:28.440 that schools should
00:36:29.220 not open, and it's
00:36:30.620 antithetical to the
00:36:31.680 recommendations of
00:36:32.460 the experts.
00:36:33.140 In fact, the
00:36:33.560 hospital for sick
00:36:34.520 kids in Toronto,
00:36:35.920 one of the world's
00:36:36.540 great pediatric
00:36:37.240 hospitals, came out
00:36:38.720 with an official
00:36:39.300 statement, and their
00:36:40.840 statements included
00:36:42.080 schools should be
00:36:42.880 open, in-person,
00:36:44.320 full-time, no
00:36:45.580 masks, no
00:36:46.520 distancing, because
00:36:47.520 that's what the
00:36:48.060 science says.
00:36:48.880 This is not even
00:36:49.840 controversial at this
00:36:51.080 point.
00:36:51.940 We are, we have
00:36:53.100 become a hysterical
00:36:54.220 country.
00:36:54.820 I'm sorry to say it,
00:36:55.580 we are an outlier
00:36:56.460 internationally.
00:36:57.720 All the countries of
00:36:58.680 Western Europe, their 1.00
00:36:59.840 schools are opening,
00:37:01.060 and there's no
00:37:01.620 problem that they've
00:37:02.500 seen for places that
00:37:03.980 didn't even lock down
00:37:04.920 the schools during the
00:37:06.020 height of the pandemic.
00:37:06.820 So I want to, I want to,
00:37:08.640 I have to take a one
00:37:09.420 minute break, then I
00:37:10.080 want to ask you a very
00:37:11.240 important question, I
00:37:12.180 think, and that is,
00:37:13.860 then why?
00:37:14.980 Then why is this
00:37:16.380 happening?
00:37:16.820 Why do we have
00:37:17.940 authorities coming out
00:37:19.280 and saying this, if it
00:37:20.760 is so clear on science?
00:37:22.840 One minute, we'll get
00:37:23.620 that answer from Dr.
00:37:24.540 Scott Atlas.
