Welcome to the podcast. Today we go to Portland and talk to Elijah Schaefer, who has been going
00:00:06.440
to all of these protests and all the craziness going on. He gives us an update on what's going
00:00:10.560
on with Antifa there. We have a couple of guests on today. Doctors, one making the case that,
00:00:17.740
hey, masks, maybe they're not as effective as we've been told. And the other saying,
00:00:22.320
hey, they are pretty effective and here's why you should use them. Kind of going back and forth
00:00:26.020
and trying to understand not only that, but also the psychology of the pro-mask versus anti-mask
00:00:31.620
people. We also have Bill Barr, who's testifying today. The Democrats are going after Barr now.
00:00:37.660
That's their big election season push. I think it's a big mistake for them, but they're going to try it

00:01:45.760
Okay, so we have Jason on with us. Jason is our head researcher and head writer. And we were talking
00:01:58.560
about this lovely project that he unearthed yesterday. Jason, give me more of the details
00:02:08.220
of this economic forum that you that you know now. You know, the World Economic Forum. I always pay
00:02:14.400
attention to him because some of the craziest stuff comes out of there. He talked, you just talked
00:02:18.620
about the fourth industrial revolution. They're actually one of the only ones that are talking
00:02:22.100
about that. And you've talked about that a little bit yourself, Glenn, about how there's going to be
00:02:25.820
massive job loss once all this, you know, the technology revolution comes in. And they're some of the only
00:02:31.660
people that are talking about it. But the problem is, when you talk about it, and when they talk about it,
00:02:35.740
there's two completely different motives. For instance, in this great reset, they mentioned
00:02:40.380
the fourth industrial revolution, because part of their plan is to digitize everything to get
00:02:46.380
more government and private corporation control linked together. And when you hear that, it's
00:02:52.020
things that we've been talking about over the past couple months. You know, when we talked about
00:02:56.560
event 201, and that was like their war game for, you know, a virus, and they used the coronavirus.
00:03:02.780
And like a month later, the coronavirus hit that was completely separate from each other.
00:03:08.420
But the point is, they were game planning these things, because they want to fundamentally change
00:03:13.420
economic economic global economic governance, they want to completely change it, they want
00:03:18.560
more government control over private corporations. And it's not just it, it's not being presented as
00:03:27.360
control, it's being presented as a partnership, a public private partnership, which is the definition
00:03:37.640
Right, right. And when you hear the especially when you hear their leader, Klaus Schwab, talk
00:03:42.200
about it, if you're not really paying attention, you're just listening to the bullet points, you
00:03:46.600
don't hear all the little things. But I've been reading through their in depth reports. And even
00:03:50.800
those aren't really in depth, because they're leaving out the ultimate, we're taking control,
00:03:55.260
they leave that part out of it. But when you read between the lines, this stuff sounds
00:03:58.620
incredibly scary. So when I first heard him talk about this, what piqued my interest and
00:04:04.120
got me looking into it more is he goes, this might be too idealistic, but we have to try.
00:04:10.720
And I was like, Oh, wait a minute. And he goes in. That's always like a warning spot. Usually
00:04:16.220
you let's take a step back or something like that.
00:04:18.360
Yeah. We may have to kill a few people to get it done. But that's okay.
00:04:25.900
He talks, he goes into more in depth on how they're going to do this. So the first step
00:04:29.180
is they talk about redefining the social contract. Now they specifically slam. I thought this
00:04:35.280
was interesting. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. And they said, you know what, the
00:04:40.140
time of self-reliance is over. Big government is back. Actually, I don't think they said big,
00:04:44.520
but they said government is back. They were taught. They talk about less self-reliance,
00:04:49.520
more government, global government control. They actually said government is back. Reagan
00:04:54.720
and Thatcher are of the past. Okay. They go on. They talk about the green economy. Now,
00:05:00.780
when you, when you make fun of people like AOC, it's easy to make fun of her because she's
00:05:05.180
got a doorknob where her brain should be. But there's people behind her that are pushing
00:05:09.420
this. It's very, very obvious. There's, there's actual influential people that are behind
00:05:13.700
this. The green economy is something they're really pushing. Um, cow farts are not just
00:05:18.680
funny. These are the things they're using to push this global, you know, uh, corporate
00:05:23.820
control. Um, again, they talked about digitizing everything. They want everything digital. They
00:05:29.840
want all, all records digitized, everything digital. Modifying capitalism was the shareholder
00:05:35.800
to stakeholder economy. That's kind of hard to understand. But what, from what I've seen
00:05:41.000
is they're looking at a model of capitalism where the industry focuses on social good
00:05:46.540
and not just corporate good. Again, that's kind of hard. The no, no, no, it's, it's really
00:05:53.320
not. Um, I like to call their capitalism, uh, communism, uh, or fascism because what it
00:06:00.720
is, is they say, don't concentrate on the shareholders, the stakeholders. Well, who are
00:06:06.620
the stakeholders? The stakeholders are the people who work there, uh, you know, and the, the people
00:06:13.160
in the community, those are the stakeholders. So there is no real, uh, private property as
00:06:19.920
we, as we know it, there are no private businesses as we know it. And it'll be great because, well,
00:06:27.480
gosh, darn it. You're going to be able to, uh, you're going to be able to not worry about
00:06:32.700
your business or your bills anymore. I mean, this is, this is why they have taken out all
00:06:39.140
of the entrepreneurs. Uh, and quite honestly, if you took the PPP, I completely understand,
00:06:45.040
but one of my fears on the PPP was it's going to enslave you to the government somehow or another,
00:06:51.760
they're going to use that to say, well, now we were there for you. Uh, I mean, you don't have
00:06:58.480
to pay it back, but gosh, darn it. I mean, you really should abide by these kinds of things.
00:07:06.200
I'm a little concerned about the, the PPP and I'm wildly concerned if the Democrats get
00:07:14.100
in, this is what we saw in Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg on this. This is a global
00:07:23.340
effort, which is why it was a global effort to impeach Donald Trump. Donald Trump, I believe
00:07:30.640
is the only guy in the world that is going to stand up against this. That's why he has
00:07:36.820
to get out of, uh, of, of Washington. They won't take it any other way.
00:07:45.780
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:07:53.340
Let me go to, uh, one more, one more doctor. And that is, uh, Dr. Karlyn Borisenko. She's an
00:08:03.980
organizational psychologist. She's, you know, a Forbes contributor, et cetera, et cetera. She's now,
00:08:09.180
uh, part of our, uh, our, our circle of friends. And I ask her to look into, because I think, Stu,
00:08:16.940
weren't both doctors pretty much saying the same thing?
00:08:19.200
Yeah. Closer than you would have thought. I mean, they definitely had some, I think,
00:08:22.540
disagreement on, on, on certain things, but generally speaking, they're saying they're
00:08:26.260
somewhat effective, uh, but you still, you know, they're not universally effective.
00:08:32.100
Exactly right. So, so Karlyn, where is this? I'm going to spray you with pepper spray. If you're
00:08:39.400
not wearing one outside, where's this coming from?
00:08:44.260
Well, I think, you know, first to take a step back, I want to do a disclaimer and say,
00:08:49.200
I am not a medical doctor. I am not speaking on the effectiveness of masks, but one of the things
00:08:54.000
that has been very worrisome for me about the whole mask thing. And I said, this was going to
00:08:59.780
happen back in March is it's, it's dehumanizing to people. We're, we're literally stopped. We're
00:09:06.140
not seeing each other as human beings when we're in this pro mask versus anti mask debate. Now,
00:09:11.240
in some respects, that makes sense because the way our brain evolved, our survival mechanism,
00:09:16.620
whether or not we're afraid that we're going to die is the number one thing that we will make
00:09:21.780
decisions on. And if we are afraid that we're going to die or be put in some sort of danger,
00:09:26.500
that's going to kick off our fight or flight mechanism, which essentially is, you know,
00:09:31.640
either you're going to fight the situation aggressively, which is what we see when we're
00:09:35.680
seeing people pepper spray one another out in public when they could just easily socially
00:09:41.320
distance, walk around, you know, separate themselves from the people not wearing masks.
00:09:45.420
Instead, they're fighting it aggressively, which is the fight mechanism of that. The other option
00:09:50.340
is of course, to run away in the other direction, to flee from what you think is going to attack
00:09:54.980
you. But you know, what is striking about this for me, Glenn, because the last time I spoke with
00:09:59.620
you, we talked about, you know, white fragility and all of that. And one of the things that I
00:10:03.260
actually think is so interesting about what's going on with the mask, it is actually mirrors
00:10:08.460
what they talk about in white fragility, which is if someone is saying that I don't feel comfortable
00:10:14.480
wearing a mask for whatever reason, whether it's simply an emotional thing, or it's actually a
00:10:19.300
medical reason that they don't want to wear a mask, that is an individual decision. Whereas,
00:10:24.680
you know, what they argue in white fragility is that individualism is bad, white people are
00:10:28.680
individuals, and that's somehow bad. And I almost feel as though, it's become so politicized,
00:10:34.040
because the two issues have become incredibly conflated. If you look at how people are speaking
00:10:39.880
about these online, you're going to see that people who are pro mask usually tend to be more
00:10:45.700
on the left, people who are anti mask tend to be though, not exclusively more on the right. And
00:10:51.420
and I think that it's really, it's kind of like this perfect storm of nonsense that has descended
00:10:57.240
onto the issue of masks, whereas what what we could be doing is exactly what you just did have a
00:11:03.940
medical discussion where you're hearing from both sides about the effectiveness of it, and approach the
00:11:08.840
situation much more calmly than it's being approached right now. Yeah, it's everything is this, this idea
00:11:17.120
that the science is settled. And if you don't agree with it, you're somehow or another an enemy of all
00:11:24.800
mankind. The science clearly is not settled. The science seems to be leaning in the direction that
00:11:32.280
a mask is better than nothing. But I don't think anybody is taking into account the effects that the
00:11:38.300
media has had on politicizing absolutely everything by blaming everybody who is as ever voted a Republican
00:11:46.780
into office as a bad guy. And everybody like Cuomo, who is a Democrat is a savior. Neither one of those is
00:11:58.300
true. They have told us different things. The science continues to change on this. And for the very first
00:12:05.280
time, we are expected to not respond or not have an opinion. And I think that is the symbol.
00:12:13.700
The mask is the symbol of that feeling of powerlessness that that that I've got a virtue
00:12:21.440
signal when you don't know what the hell you're even talking about. Because I think most people
00:12:26.920
would wear the mask. And they'd just be fine with it. You know, if they can do their part, some won't,
00:12:34.180
I get it. But if it wasn't for this politicization of all of this, if it wasn't that you are somehow or
00:12:43.380
another a horrible human being, it becomes almost a badge of honor to not wear the mask, just as much on the
00:12:54.060
Mm hmm. Yeah, I absolutely agree. And another part of this, too, is that there are legitimate
00:13:00.600
medical reasons why people might not want to wear a mask, whether that has to do with a medical
00:13:05.660
condition where they may struggle to breathe in it or a psychological condition, like if they struggle
00:13:10.200
from depression or anxiety or claustrophobia, there could be absolute reasons why a mask is not the
00:13:15.540
best choice. And, you know, in a civilized society, we would say, well, if you can wear a mask,
00:13:21.240
you should because there are people who can't. But that's not what's happening. We're seeing people
00:13:25.940
who have very legitimate reasons. And by the way, organizations, stores, businesses, they are not
00:13:31.440
allowed to ask what the medical reasons are. That's your private information. And we're seeing these
00:13:37.400
people be turned away or shunned. I mean, I look at the case that happened to Brandon Strzok from the
00:13:42.860
walkaway campaign probably about a month ago is he got kicked off an American airline flight for not
00:13:48.420
wearing a mask. And it created this whole hullabaloo. And I actually talked to him later in the day.
00:13:53.120
And he said, Carlin, they didn't even ask me if I had any sort of medical condition. So we've reached
00:13:58.880
the point where the benefit of the doubt is just not given at all in these scenarios. And instantly,
00:14:04.840
the person who was not wearing the mask is demonized. Yeah. Carlin, thank you so much.
00:14:10.400
We'll talk again, Carlin Borisenko. And, and what she has to say, I think is is so very valuable.
00:14:21.740
I know Pat doesn't wear a mask. And the reason why Pat doesn't wear a mask is because he has
00:14:34.980
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:40.400
William Barr is about to testify. We stations are going to be covering his opening statements.
00:14:59.380
Yesterday, Fox News broke the story of his, his opening of his testimony. Yet I, I look,
00:15:09.040
I just searched on Google for, uh, William Barr testimony and, uh, see, I've got, uh, I've got
00:15:17.320
NPR, uh, I've got CNN, the Hill, ABC news, NPR, New York times, New York times, New York post,
00:15:25.580

00:15:43.960
That's the first one. That's been a conservative, uh, NBC news, the daily beast, CNBC, USA to, uh,
00:15:57.120
Still no Fox news report fact check, Chicago tribune, ESPN, C span news week, Detroit news,
00:16:07.180
KBTX, New York, Fox five, W F T, uh, uh, W U F T, W M C a action news five.
00:16:20.560
I am on page five, still nothing from Fox news, page six, still nothing from Fox news.
00:16:49.140
If it's interesting trying to get your news, uh, today, especially I thought these surgeons
00:16:54.260
were supposed to get to know you and provide the things that you were looking for.
00:16:59.120
How does it mistake me as not wanting something from a conservative point of view?
00:17:08.920
You'll be able to hear it live as, uh, William Barr testifies, you know, cause they're,
00:17:14.440
they're trying to impeach him, but, uh, apparently he's going to blow the doors off.
