The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： John Solomon & Daniel Horowitz ｜ 4⧸6⧸22

00:00:00.540 Hey, welcome to the Alamo. Hopefully this Alamo is not one we all die in, but we're remembered well, huh Stu? Wouldn't that be great?

00:00:11.520 End of this podcast, Glenn and Stu died. What a way to go out. Today we're going to talk to you a little bit about the Alamo of freedom, the Alamo of truth.

00:00:23.560 Um, and we've got a lot of people like John Solomon on to talk about the truth. He's just been cleared by the Hill. All of those stories he wrote about Hunter Biden, Russia, Ukraine, Donald Trump, all the truth that he wrote about that was discredited by people like, you know, um, uh, what's his name? Adam Schiff and the media, uh, the Hill has finally finished their work.

00:00:51.180 Now, three years later and said, Oh, by the way, uh, yeah, that was all true. There were no errors in that. Amazing. Yeah. We also have Daniel Horowitz, uh, on with us. And James Lindsay is on to talk about what he says is grooming. And I didn't necessarily agree with him on that word, but I completely do now what's happening in our schools. Wait until you hear his explanation.

00:01:15.560 Uh, and we revealed this, uh, during the show, but, uh, for you podcast listeners, we'll give it to you right up here at the top. You can save 20 bucks off your subscription to blaze TV right now with the code, the Alamo. That's crazy. That's right. The Alamo, uh, use it at blaze TV.com slash Glenn, and you will save 20 bucks off of that subscription. Again, the code is the Alamo. And tonight on blaze TV, you have a new Glenn TV, which is going to be utterly fantastic.

00:01:44.380 I mean, I have people are all talking about it. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Shut up. But before that, a brand new stew does America. Don't miss it.

00:02:03.940 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:07.860 All right. Let me, uh, let me, let me, let me, let me start with something that has come out just a few days ago. Uh, and it, uh, revolves around John Solomon. John Solomon, uh, is a, an award-winning journalist. Uh, he has been in the business forever. Uh, and he has been horribly smeared by tech.

00:02:36.860 And by the mainstream media for telling the truth. He just published, uh, a statement, uh, because he has been under investigation at the Hill where he was hired to be the, the main guy to run their digital, uh, work.

00:02:54.860 And he started printing, uh, stories about Ukraine and about Hunter Biden, uh, and what was going on and also the laptop.

00:03:06.560 So the Hill said they, we've got to get rid of him. We got to, we're going to, we're going to have to review everything that he does and says, well, the Hill has published an update to review all of the work that he did in Ukraine.

00:03:21.300 His reporting and other articles, they did not find a conflict of interest. Also, the Hills newsroom review did not identify a single factual error in any of his colleagues, uh, columns.

00:03:37.160 Indeed, after months of digging into claims from liberal media and impeachment witnesses that my reporting was false, the Hill found nothing false in my reporting.

00:03:51.220 Uh, they didn't interview him, but why would you do that when you're trying to get to the truth? Why would you interview the principal person involved?

00:03:59.300 Seems like too much work. Yeah, it does, but, uh, it doesn't matter. They, they have cleared all of his reporting. Now, how much damage has this done to John?

00:04:09.160 I don't think very much because he started just the news.com and I will tell you, it is a go-to source every day for me.

00:04:18.340 You want real journalism, real reporting, just the news.com does it. John Solomon joins us now. Hi, John.

00:04:26.740 Great to be with you guys. Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. And listen, you know, you're only as good as your next door. You know that Glenn, we're always working for the next door.

00:04:36.660 I know the truth of the matter is the avalanche of facts that were held behind the dam of censorship, which by the way, at your Reagan dinner speech at CPAC, you really hit it on the head about the danger of the censorship.

00:04:48.120 But you know what? The dam is breaking and the facts are overflowing and overrunning the dam now. And soon the American people are going to know the truth in spite of the news media. And that's a good thing for all of us.

00:04:57.740 So just so the audience knows, because I think these are all, I mean, these are earth shattering, now all confirmed. Top Ukrainian justice official says the U.S. ambassador gave him a do not prosecute list.

00:05:12.960 That's huge been denied over and over again. The ambassador is clearly a liar on this senior Ukrainian official says he opened a probe into U.S. election interference as Russian collusion fades.

00:05:31.540 Ukrainian plot to help Clinton emerges. U.S. embassy pressed Ukraine to drop probe of George Soros during the 2016 election.

00:05:42.260 Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare. A closed probe is revived. Ukrainians to U.S. prosecutors. 0.88

00:05:49.720 Why don't you want our evidence on the Democrats? How Obama White House engaged Ukraine to give Russia collusion narrative an early boost.

00:05:58.500 Ukrainian embassy confirms DNC contractor solicited Trump dirt in 2016.

00:06:05.580 God. FBI warned early and often that Manafort file might be fake, but they used it anyway.

00:06:12.440 How Mueller deputy Andrew Weissman's offer to an oligarch could boomerang on the DOJ.

00:06:19.400 I mean, this just goes on and on. Those stories.

00:06:23.280 Somebody has to pay a price because those people are still in this administration, many of them, and doing possibly this or worse because nobody's paid a price.

00:06:38.860 Yeah, you couldn't have said a better gun. That's really it.

00:06:41.700 And here's the thing. All of that smoke, all of those stories and the counterattacks against me and Peter Schweitzer.

00:06:46.900 Think about this. There were people in the news media calling Peter Schweitzer a conspiracy theorist.

00:06:52.180 This guy is the best researcher in American history. He doesn't do any better.

00:06:55.980 But you know what? All of that incoming fire was to keep us from the truth of what we really wanted to get,

00:07:01.560 which was that Hunter Biden was running an influence peddling scheme, enriching his family, cashing in on his father's name.

00:07:09.160 And the other day I put together a story that I think is my favorite one of the last four or five years.

00:07:14.040 It looks at how as the war is beginning in Ukraine, the first war when Russia invaded in 2014 on Obama Biden's watch,

00:07:22.020 as they're taking over Crimea, Hunter Biden is sitting with his business partner saying,

00:07:26.800 all right, let's get one oligarch on each side of this conflict and let's go make some money. 1.00

00:07:30.940 So he goes to Yelena Baterina, a billionaire Russian oligarch, and then goes to Nikola Zolchevsky, the Burisma owner.

00:07:41.300 And they're working to get both of them to pay them lots of money.

00:07:44.640 And they actually write in the middle of this scheme, because that's really what it is,

00:07:49.340 this is going to be life changing for us, meaning the amount of money they're going to get,

00:07:52.960 as long as Ukraine doesn't fall to Russia before we get our money.

00:07:56.400 They literally knew they were hedging a bet on the war to enrich the Biden machinery.

00:08:01.960 And you go through all of the emails.

00:08:03.780 Hunter Biden is on a first name basis with the Russian oligarch.

00:08:07.400 He's working for a company that his father's own administration considers corrupt.

00:08:12.380 It's all OK, because it was a great way for them to make money.

00:08:16.240 The idea that Hunter Biden, the vice president's son, is profiteering off a Russian war on Ukraine,

00:08:22.080 the first one, is really the ultimate thing that all of those people who are attacking us were trying to hide.

00:08:27.440 They didn't want that story out there.

00:08:29.100 Now it's out there.

00:08:30.080 So, John, by the way, congratulations.

00:08:32.520 That is a tremendous story.

00:08:35.360 The the oligarch, the Russian oligarch, is that the Moscow mayor's wife? 0.98

00:08:42.080 Sure was.

00:08:42.920 Yeah, you're right.

00:08:43.820 Yeah.

00:08:44.040 The one that, remember, a few months ago, maybe a year ago it is, all the Democrats and their Democratic media allies were saying,

00:08:51.320 there's no evidence that Hunter Biden was in contact with it.

00:08:54.660 It had nothing to do with it.

00:08:55.920 Now, the only evidence up to that was that Ron Johnson and Greg Chuck Grassley showed a $3.5 million payment from that.

00:09:03.080 Well, we just put a new document up.

00:09:04.880 It is the board minutes of one of Hunter Biden's company.

00:09:08.280 It's called Burnham.

00:09:09.360 According to Burnham, Hunter Biden was a vice president.

00:09:11.640 Devin Archer, his convicted sidekick, is the head of it.

00:09:16.080 In this board minutes, in the in the spring of 20, summer of 2014, they boast that Yelena Batarino didn't give them $3.5 million.

00:09:25.340 She gave them $200 million.

00:09:29.100 That is a document that the FBI sees, a document the FBI has put into court files.

00:09:34.860 Good luck trying to find any mainstream media that is willing to appear that.

00:09:37.960 But Hunter Biden was calling Batarina by her first name, Yelena, meeting with her at a hotel, scheming up ideas to tap her money for real estate deals and other things, a COCO initiative in Latin America.

00:09:51.760 And when he's talking about the COCO initiative, he and Devin Archer joke, maybe we can get some money for Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian president.

00:09:59.360 By the way, Ukrainian president who fired the prosecutor at Joe Biden's request.

00:10:04.320 Hunter Biden was on a first name basis.

00:10:07.000 And a year ago, the Democrats were telling us there was nothing that connected them.

00:10:10.780 They were lying.

00:10:11.400 So, John, may I take you into possibly you have information on this, but probable speculation.

00:10:22.040 What so what is happening really in Ukraine now?

00:10:27.380 I mean, this is I believe that, you know, Putin, I don't know, misjudged or whatever and went in into Ukraine and there's nothing bogus there.

00:10:40.600 But with all of the with all of the facts and all of the really nasty stuff really tied directly to Biden and Clinton there, is is there anything else do you think possibly going on?

00:10:57.800 Is is evidence being destroyed?

00:11:00.480 Is is there anything?

00:11:03.400 Probably not.

00:11:04.040 Listen, it's hard to erase evidence today, right, because there's so many digital copies about digital copies and someone's hacked it somewhere along the way.

00:11:11.580 Listen, I think the war, the second invasion of Ukraine on Joe Biden's watch, because the first one also occurred on his watch when he was VP in charge of the region, is a reflection that of three things.

00:11:24.320 One, that Vladimir Putin has always thought Joe Biden to be weak.

00:11:28.520 So if you're going to do something you always wanted to do, do it on the weak guy's watch.

00:11:31.600 Correct. The second part is Devin Nunes said this on my television show last night, and it's really resonated in my mind all night and into the morning today.

00:11:41.200 He said that, listen, the the greatest crime of the Russia collusion scandal, the effort by Hillary Clinton to hang a fake story on Donald Trump and is that it handicapped two or three years of the presidency of Donald Trump.

00:11:54.420 And Donald Trump had an opportunity to realign the relations between Russia and Ukraine.

00:11:59.800 He was willing to give lethal aid to Ukraine, which Obama was too chicken to do.

00:12:03.420 He was willing to sanction Putin and he probably would have been willing to get a sort of grand bargain between the two sides that would lower the tensions.

00:12:12.040 But because Russia collusion took Russia off the table for the president, he and his team couldn't execute a peace to strength policy.

00:12:20.020 And as a result, Joe Biden gets in and now we're doing peace to appeasement.

00:12:24.140 And we see what happens when we go peace to appeasement, the European model.

00:12:27.140 The bullies like Putin get aggressive and we sit back and we're counterpunching at best.

00:12:33.740 I think what Devin Nunes was trying to say is the all these scandals that were faked by the media kept President Trump from maybe creating a lasting peace solution like he did in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords.

00:12:45.620 Very interesting way to look at the last five years of history.

00:12:49.620 All right. Back with John Solomon.

00:12:50.800 If you can hang with me, give me one minute and we'll be back with John Solomon, author of Fallout and CEO, editor in chief of justthenews.com.

00:13:00.120 Something that you should check for news every single day.

00:13:06.080 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:13.440 I am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of relief factor.

00:13:19.640 I'm one of them.

00:13:21.860 I was in pain and got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore.

00:13:27.540 I did.

00:13:28.700 Anybody else feel like, you know, I just I can't get up another day.

00:13:33.520 We have our life back because of relief factor.

00:13:37.040 It's not a television commercial.

00:13:39.380 It's it's a group of real people with real results that had real pain.

00:13:46.880 Try it yourself.

00:13:48.160 Relief factor.

00:13:48.800 This guy, when he started, completely bald.

00:13:51.460 Look at him now.

00:13:53.420 Doesn't do anything for your hair, but it will help you get out of pain.

00:13:58.740 Give it a shot.

00:13:59.500 Try the three week quick start.

00:14:01.420 Doesn't work.

00:14:02.240 Move on.

00:14:03.120 But we're here to tell you it works.

00:14:06.040 Relief factor dot com.

00:14:07.700 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:11.540 I want to talk to you about the Alamo.

00:14:16.200 The Alamo really wasn't Davy Crockett's fight.

00:14:22.020 It wasn't the guys who went there.

00:14:24.560 They were from Kentucky and they came in because they knew what it was supposed to be like to be free.

00:14:33.040 And they saw the fight at the Alamo and they related and and stood for the Mexicans that were in the Alamo.

00:14:43.480 And they all decided, you know what?

00:14:47.360 This is where the line in the sand is.

00:14:50.120 That's literally where that came from.

00:14:52.140 Drawn a line in the sand.

00:14:53.260 Those on that side, no hard feelings.

00:14:56.980 You can leave.

00:14:58.140 Those on this side, we're staying. 0.98

00:15:00.940 And we all know what that means.

00:15:03.780 The Alamo is the blaze.

00:15:07.600 It is.

00:15:08.440 We we plan on standing.

00:15:11.380 Even if we're the last man standing, we're standing and we're going to stand for the things that we know to be true.

00:15:18.380 Now, social media is hammering the blaze right now and the hosts that are on the blaze.

00:15:26.360 And I mean, hammering, unlike we have been hammered and that's fine.

00:15:32.160 It's not going to change us.

00:15:33.680 But we do ask.

00:15:35.080 I built this platform so that we could survive, but we won't survive without your support.

00:15:43.240 And the the the the way to get our message out to people through social media is dying.

00:15:54.260 We can still reach, you know, our our fans one way or another with other social media.

00:16:01.280 But you're only getting if you're depending on Facebook or anything else, you're getting probably maybe one out of every 10 messages and stories we send out.

00:16:11.720 Maybe, maybe.

00:16:14.360 And we have now been throttled and demonetized because one of our hosts disagreed with global warming and what they were proposing.

00:16:28.140 Wow. I always thought that was a right to free speech, but I guess not.

00:16:33.000 You can't deny that anymore.

00:16:35.020 And one of our other hosts, who I absolutely love, is asking questions about Hunter Biden.

00:16:42.060 And this is Daniel Horowitz.

00:16:43.900 Now, Daniel has done a lot of work on covid and agree or disagree with Daniel.

00:16:52.360 He is sincere.

00:16:53.940 He I don't think he knows anybody knows this, but he's up in the middle of the night during covid calling people who are fans or watchers of him or readers, helping them find doctors and helping them and really listening.

00:17:10.020 He cares deeply about what he says and what he does and the people who read his work or watch his work.

00:17:18.140 Well, he has just come out with an opinion that they just don't like or not even opinion questions they just don't like.

00:17:26.640 And that is Hunter Biden's role in the Ukrainian bio labs. 0.75

00:17:31.100 Wait a minute.

00:17:32.780 We were we doing gain of function stuff over there, too?

00:17:36.860 Now we're being penalized because he's speaking out.

00:17:41.880 This is the frickin Alamo.

00:17:43.360 For anybody who just wants to run fine, but we're drawing a line in the sand.

00:17:51.460 And so let me double down.

00:17:54.620 Daniel Horowitz is here to ask those questions on this program as well.

00:18:00.460 Hello, Daniel.

00:18:02.140 Hey, Glenn.

00:18:03.180 Great to be here in the trenches in Alamo with you.

00:18:05.860 Thank you.

00:18:06.720 There weren't any trenches at the Alamo, but I'm going to let that slide.

00:18:09.660 Uh, so so Daniel, tell me what you have found and the questions that it has led you to.

00:18:18.400 Well, I think to begin with, we need to ask the basic question two years into this pandemic.

00:18:23.420 Why is it that we still don't know anything about where it came from?

00:18:26.780 And nor is there any effort to find out where it came from.

00:18:31.480 Obviously, you and I have dug into this and other independent people have, but our government doesn't seem to be too concerned to find out about the thing that destroyed the entire world.

00:18:41.840 Uh, if you remember after 9-11, we circled in on airport security, because that's at least at a surface level where, uh, the, the terrorist attacks emanated from.

00:18:53.840 And we were addressed that issue, whether you agree or disagree with what we did here, there is no desire to even account for where in the world are we engaging in game of function research?

00:19:05.080 What sort of research and why are we still doing it?

00:19:07.900 Well, it turns out the next current thing after COVID, which is Ukraine, seems to tie back into that.

00:19:14.760 Um, we all know that EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, uh, seemed to be articulating five to seven years ago, the creation of a virus that sounds awfully similar to what we now know as SARS-CoV-2.

00:19:27.440 Um, they had a partner called MetaBiota, another biotech company based in San Francisco, uh, that was created last decade, and they run these biolabs in Ukraine and engage in research of zoonotic viruses to see if they jump to humans and how to make them more pathogenic.

00:19:49.380 Well, it happens to be MetaBiota was not just funded by Rosemont, which is Hunter Biden's, uh, investment firm.

00:19:57.280 It turns out he was so close with them that he almost sublet his offices to them.

00:20:03.620 He traded emails back and forth.

00:20:06.220 This is what the, uh, UK Daily Mail learned from, uh, an April 4th, 2014 email.

00:20:12.200 2014 is a very important year.

00:20:13.780 Your last guest just talked about that.

00:20:15.500 That was the year of the color revolution backed by our government in Ukraine.

00:20:19.380 That they were going to work with MetaBiota to assert Ukraine's cultural and economic independence from Russia. 0.57

00:20:26.020 And another email showed that he would work with Borisma and MetaBiota on a science project.

00:20:34.340 And it's really in, it really is.

00:20:37.420 He refers to it, and so do the other members refer to it as a Ukrainian science project.

00:20:43.760 What the hell is that?

00:20:45.180 Well, exactly.

00:20:47.220 What is a corrupt oil and gas company related to former, uh, Ukrainian government officials have to do with MetaBiota, an American biotech company, uh, selling pandemic risk insurance, but then somehow also running labs and somehow knowing when pandemics are going to come out.

00:21:06.500 Uh, last year or in 2020, MetaBiota put out a statement that is about a 50% chance within the next few years of a pandemic, much more deadly than COVID coming out.

00:21:16.460 Um, that same year in 2014, um, that same year in 2014, so you have to remember MetaBiota was running lab in Sierra Leone during the, uh, outbreak of Ebola in Africa.

00:21:27.940 And they were cited in a CBS investigative report by CDC and WHO officials for running dangerous operations.

00:21:37.120 People didn't want to get anywhere near there.

00:21:38.580 So MetaBiota CEO, Nathan Wolf, who coauthored a lot of, uh, papers with Bat Lady and Peter Daszak on that very similar research, he wrote a couple months later, 2014, a very important year.

00:21:53.220 While Ebola virus won't be the next global, uh, strain, there are viruses out there that could be coronavirus and influenza viruses, for example, show that some viruses truly can spread around the world in ways that will blindside and impact our entire planet.

00:22:09.920 So they sure seem to know what they were doing.

00:22:13.160 We know that the DTRA under the defense, defense department, uh, funded that $80 million worth of biological research.

00:22:21.440 They've given about $18 million to MetaBiota, um, to stand up these biolabs. 1.00

00:22:28.400 Again, put aside your feelings for Zelensky and Putin and the geopolitical conflict surrounding Ukraine.

00:22:35.640 But from an American standpoint, we just went through a pandemic that we're still going through.

00:22:42.860 Aren't we a bit concerned about what exactly is being done there, um, with these, these zoonotic viruses?

00:22:50.280 And how do we know that this is not the next Wuhan?

00:22:55.160 So they would say that the $18.4 million from the U.S. defense threat reduction agency, um, is money to get rid of anything that the, that was bad that the Russians had in those labs early on, you know, to get rid of any of the, you know, nuclear or, or any gas supplies or, or, uh, biological supplies.

00:23:18.280 That were there left over from the cold war.

00:23:21.280 That's what they'll tell you.

00:23:23.520 Sure.

00:23:24.100 And, and indeed in 1991, that was the non Luger program, uh, to go and destroy the WMDs left over by the Russians. 0.78

00:23:32.200 But the problem is in the ensuing decade in the two thousands, black and beach special projects is a DTRA contractor, uh, that worked with MetaBiota.

00:23:41.040 Uh, they actually built a number of facilities, new facilities, um, for the study of pathogens that can be used in bioterrorism attacks.

00:23:51.820 And also we find out from some of these emails here that in 2016, October, 2016, there was a meeting involving U S military officials, Ukrainian counterparts, uh, black and beach and MetaBiota staff, uh, that worked on projects, researching surveillance and diagnostics of a number of dangerous zoonotic diseases, including hemorrhagic fevers and avian influenza.

00:24:18.320 Why are they doing that?

00:24:21.240 What does that have to do with the old, uh, Soviet era WMD project?

00:24:24.920 It sounds more like they're constructing rather than deconstructing.

00:24:29.260 Yeah.

00:24:29.900 Um, this is so dangerous and, and you are absolutely right.

00:24:34.700 Um, to ask these questions.

00:24:36.480 These are the questions that we should be asking ourselves right now, but really life and death questions.

00:24:43.580 Should we be involved in gain of research, a great gain of function research?

00:24:48.940 My answer is absolutely not.

00:24:52.900 But the, the connection between Hunter Biden, Burisma, uh, and, and these bio labs is equally disturbing and needs to be answered. 0.66

00:25:07.840 And it also raises questions.

00:25:11.400 Is that the reason why our government doesn't seem to be too concerned about researching this?

00:25:17.800 I mean, you listen to them all along the last two years and COVID was the worst thing that ever hit humanity.

00:25:23.160 And it required the response that they pursued with lockdowns and mandates and all this stuff.

00:25:28.420 But then when it comes to finding out, finding out where did it come from?

00:25:32.360 I mean, usually when you have a calamity, the first thing is to, you know, have some sort of Pearl Harbor, Harbor, uh, 9-11 commission to figure out where it came from and how to prevent it.

00:25:41.980 Somehow they don't seem to be too concerned about that.

00:25:44.540 And that's what it makes you wonder, are they protecting, uh, high valued, uh, individuals because if this was just some sort of Chinese venture with no involvement from the U S government, the defense department and U S NGOs, why wouldn't they want to find out, you know, all the bad things the Chinese were doing? 0.92

00:26:05.160 Um, and that's the question, but it seems like we have these labs in Ukraine.

00:26:10.020 We have them in Georgia, which is another former Soviet union satellite.

00:26:13.640 We have them in Africa. 0.99

00:26:15.060 What are we doing in them?

00:26:16.780 You would have told me this a decade ago.

00:26:18.380 I would have said, yeah, that's, that's a great idea.

00:26:20.640 Get ahead of this.

00:26:21.800 Uh, I would have thought there was nothing wrong with gain of function, but I think now we understand exactly what it causes.

00:26:28.220 Daniel Horowitz, uh, podcast host, conservative review, senior editor at, uh, the blaze.com.

00:26:35.160 Thank you for, um, raising these questions, Daniel.

00:26:38.520 And so, you know, I stand with you 100%.

00:26:42.100 God bless you.

00:26:43.800 Great, great time to be fighting with you.

00:26:45.600 Take care.

00:26:46.080 Thank you.

00:26:50.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:05.160 So I've been working on, uh, during the break, I've been working on some rides for Disney, you know, cause I, you know, Hey, I thought you were like, you know, you no longer wanted to go.

00:27:21.580 You were, you were, well, I don't, but I, maybe it can help them just make it even a more magical place.

00:27:26.040 Okay.

00:27:26.560 You know, so I was thinking, uh, like, uh, black lives, matter horn, bobsleds. 0.98

00:27:34.560 It works at that one.

00:27:36.140 They may actually use that safe space mountain.

00:27:39.780 That could be, there are, there are no turns, no twists.

00:27:43.260 You're in a lit room and you don't move.

00:27:46.180 Yeah.

00:27:46.800 And it's uphill.

00:27:47.440 How about, um, how about Peter Pansexual's flight? 0.67

00:27:52.120 Um, Walt Disney's enchanted equity room, uh, the twilight zone tower of terrorist parents.

00:27:59.880 You go in and parents are just screaming at you.

00:28:04.140 Um, Dumbo, the white or the right wing sycophant is, I don't know.

00:28:09.180 Walt Disney's carousel of oppression.

00:28:12.060 Nobody sees that.

00:28:13.600 How about pirates of the Queeribian? 0.93

00:28:17.440 Kind of like that one.

00:28:21.060 I, I don't.

00:28:22.320 Great moments with Mr. Jingping.

00:28:25.400 Okay.

00:28:26.060 Okay.

00:28:26.380 I mean, I, all right, I was just trying to help.

00:28:29.320 Weren't they just like legitimately saying they were going to change the name of Splash

00:28:34.440 Mountain or change Splash Mountain?

00:28:36.080 Oh no, they're changing, getting rid of all of the briar patch and.

00:28:39.840 Cause it was racist in some way.

00:28:41.380 I don't remember.

00:28:42.200 Song of the South.

00:28:42.780 It's based on Song of the South.

00:28:43.780 Okay.

00:28:44.400 Which is not a racist movie.

00:28:47.900 I beg to differ.

00:28:48.940 Everyone says it is.

00:28:49.780 Yeah.

00:28:50.040 Okay.

00:28:50.320 Well, everybody in America does. 1.00

00:28:52.220 Disney still sells the damn movie in Europe. 0.99

00:28:55.660 So it's okay there. 0.99

00:28:56.640 It's okay there.

00:28:57.320 It's just bad here.

00:28:58.380 You know, they don't care.

00:29:00.320 No, that, well, that's the, that's the thing I, I, I'm struggling to understand about Disney.

00:29:05.540 Because there are companies who do care.

00:29:09.440 Yeah.

00:29:09.640 There are companies, there are left wing companies that care that care and all they want to do

00:29:14.000 is be like Ben and Jerry's is a good example of that, right? 0.60

00:29:16.240 Like they just, they just don't like the Jews. 1.00

00:29:18.460 That's just the way their ice cream. 0.96

00:29:20.020 They just not fans of the Jews. 0.62

00:29:21.760 You know, the mint chocolate chip they have does not like Jews. 1.00

00:29:25.960 And that's just the way they run their operation.

00:29:28.540 Wow.

00:29:28.960 And, uh, that is what they stand for, right?

00:29:31.540 They've been really clear about it.

00:29:33.140 Uh, as clear as you could possibly be, please don't buy our ice cream Jews. 1.00

00:29:38.060 That is their stance and their new slogan, by the way.

00:29:41.360 If you happen to be in a convenience store today, you'll see it on the, on the, on the containers.

00:29:45.220 Please don't buy our ice cream Jews. 1.00

00:29:46.740 I think, wow, it's not confirmed, but I, I'm pretty sure that's strange, but like that

00:29:50.840 is a, an ideological company that makes ice cream.

00:29:55.300 Disney is Disney a, an ideological company that makes children's entertainment or is Disney

00:30:03.120 a company that wants to make a lot of money and thinks the best way to do that or to appease

00:30:09.720 its own employees here in the United States.

00:30:11.960 It's an ideological, it's an ideological company and it always has been an ideological company

00:30:15.480 that like, for example, believes in wokeness among gays be expanding in Oman.

00:30:21.620 Why would they be going to, uh, they're trying to expand their operation in countries that 0.95

00:30:25.440 will execute you if you're gay. 1.00

00:30:27.180 An ideological company wouldn't do that. 0.99

00:30:30.120 They would, they're, that's putting profits over to your ideology.

00:30:33.080 Is it not?

00:30:37.460 Yeah, I don't know.

00:30:40.120 I don't know.

00:30:41.000 I'm willing to surrender on that one.

00:30:42.720 Do you ever get that way where you're just like, I don't really care at this point.

00:30:47.300 No, it's really not on the top of my list.

00:30:49.560 See, you really do care about Disney though.

00:30:51.480 I do.

00:30:51.880 More than literally anybody that I know.

00:30:53.540 Yeah, I do.

00:30:54.460 And you followed it.

00:30:55.540 It's been an inspiration in your life, in your career.

00:30:58.680 Walt Disney, Walt Disney taught me, Walt Disney and, uh, uh, Orson Welles were the guiding

00:31:06.400 guys of my life.

00:31:07.900 Both good and bad.

00:31:10.620 So that is a major, major part.

00:31:12.600 Uh, and, and to understand them now, cause he went through this phase where it was Walt

00:31:16.820 Disney with this incredible vision of a company.

00:31:19.380 And, and an incredible vision of, I mean, it's always been an ideological company.

00:31:24.080 Yeah.

00:31:24.440 He, he was, he was an American who thought America was a special place that had special

00:31:31.620 ideas, uh, and laws that made people free to dream and do.

00:31:38.600 And so he built his company.

00:31:40.980 That's why, that's why all of those old shows that, you know, used to run around the Mickey

00:31:46.100 mouse club time.

00:31:47.500 It was always good versus evil.

00:31:49.660 It was, you know, Johnny Tremaine.

00:31:51.820 It was stories, Davy Crockett, stories of America.

00:31:56.100 And that's what he really wanted to do.

00:32:00.240 And, you know, he really wanted to shore this all up and shore the family up.

00:32:08.100 I really think he saw today's America coming.

00:32:11.260 Um, he knew that the family and children, if given the proper tools and truth would be

00:32:20.800 able to navigate anything and America would be the shining city on the hill.

00:32:27.060 They've destroyed that.

00:32:28.500 They don't believe that.

00:32:29.860 They don't believe that anymore.

00:32:31.660 They believe there'll be the shining city on a hill for another kind of flame, but it

00:32:37.320 ain't truth.

00:32:38.000 So after, at some point, the ideological beginnings of Disney under Walt, they fade away.

00:32:46.480 And the criticism of them when I was a kid, I feel like was just churning out merch and

00:32:51.800 crap to maximize the amount of money. 0.89

00:32:55.260 They were just a profit machine. 0.99

00:32:57.800 And internally they started, um, as they grew bigger and bigger, they started embracing

00:33:05.280 all of the leftist ideas, uh, and that infiltrated to every level eventually.

00:33:13.620 And now they're, they're ideologues, but they also are business people.

00:33:19.460 So they bring in the cash, uh, but because are we still talking about this?

00:33:24.940 I said, I surrender.

00:33:26.040 I mean, I really, I'm just trying to understand because, cause like, I think like you look

00:33:30.300 at their mainstream releases, right?

00:33:33.880 Their big budget, you know, explosive hundred million dollar type of releases.

00:33:41.040 They don't go down these roads all that much.

00:33:45.980 I still think a lot of them are pretty acceptable.

00:33:49.500 Now, when you start looking at the stuff that they're throwing on, like the Disney channel

00:33:53.500 and some of the stuff they're targeting tweens with and, uh, that sort of ilk of their programming,

00:34:00.640 they go farther and farther and farther down these roads.

00:34:03.780 Yeah, because, but like parents are taking their kids to the movies and watching it because

00:34:09.380 they're in the dark and they're watching it with their kids.

00:34:12.720 Uh, television, mom and dad generally aren't watching, right.

00:34:16.980 You know, uh, Disney channel online or, you know, Disney TV there and maybe mom's in the

00:34:24.900 kitchen doing some stuff and she'll only hear once in a while.

00:34:27.540 It should be like, wait, wait, what, what, hang on just a second.

00:34:30.420 What's happening is part of this too, though, that these mainstream hundred million dollar

00:34:34.720 releases are being shown in Oman where the, the tween high school dramas they make for

00:34:41.140 Americans are not, they're not getting imported to Saudi Arabia.

00:34:46.980 So these big things are, and so they keep those pretty, pretty safe.

00:34:51.440 And that's what makes me, you know, again, I know you've surrendered on this already, but

00:34:54.840 this is what makes me think they are more judging the playing surface than a hardcore ideological

00:35:03.680 company.

00:35:04.320 I think they are filled with a lot of hardcore ideological people, particularly in the creative

00:35:08.680 side of things, as we saw in these videos this week.

00:35:11.380 Always have been.

00:35:12.180 But they're, they're, they're not acting this way all around the world.

00:35:15.980 They're, they're acting this way because they didn't act this way when they were still

00:35:20.900 hardcore, um, hardcore ideologues for the left.

00:35:25.320 They didn't act this way until they felt tide has changed.

00:35:30.040 Yeah.

00:35:30.220 We're now in control.

00:35:31.420 Right.

00:35:31.720 You'll notice all these companies are coming out and just taking their masks off.

00:35:35.420 They don't, they don't care anymore.

00:35:37.500 They just don't care.

00:35:39.060 You will do what the big corporations say because you can't live without us.

00:35:48.180 I can't wait to get to my farm so I can prove them wrong.

00:35:54.320 I am just, I'm sick of it.

00:35:56.940 I'm sick of it.

00:35:57.680 They are taking our children down this, this path.

00:36:01.940 I mean, I, I am not sending my kids to college.

00:36:05.640 I will not do it.

00:36:07.760 I will not do it.

00:36:10.060 What if you could find a college and there are some that, that seem to have good, uh,

00:36:14.580 you know, good programs.

00:36:16.340 I'd send them to Hillsdale.

00:36:17.920 Yeah.

00:36:18.160 Right.

00:36:18.340 Like Hillsdale is an example.

00:36:19.900 That's it.

00:36:21.620 There might be, there might be others.

00:36:23.040 We've talked to other, other, we talked to.

00:36:25.000 No, I'm not going to.

00:36:25.800 You just don't want to take.

00:36:27.020 No, I'm not taking any chance.

00:36:28.620 They're going to go on their own.

00:36:29.900 Even if they go, they, they pay for it on their own.

00:36:32.140 I mean, I don't, you know, you're, you're 18.

00:36:34.660 You can do what you want.

00:36:36.040 I'm not paying somebody to destroy you and to destroy everything that I have worked hard

00:36:44.620 to instill in you.

00:36:47.300 I have to say, I think more and more people are getting to that.

00:36:50.580 I hope so.

00:36:51.420 I'm pretty, I'm there.

00:36:52.140 I mean, I, I've always felt like the credentialism of college is completely overvalued anyway.

00:36:59.320 Yeah.

00:36:59.640 What do you, what do you learn?

00:37:01.260 Stu, have we ever, ever, ever went, oh, well, he went to, he went to college for broadcasting.

00:37:10.920 Oh, so we should listen to him. 0.94

00:37:12.900 No, but we're in a dumb business. 0.96

00:37:14.340 I got to, no, we are in it. 1.00

00:37:16.480 We are in a dumb business, but are they any smarter than us? 0.99

00:37:21.560 No, no. 0.99

00:37:22.560 I mean, because they don't learn anything that is real.

00:37:26.480 Nothing.

00:37:27.580 This is stealing, I think, Brian Kaplan's example here, but like if a person goes through college

00:37:31.500 and they have all A pluses and on the very last day before graduation, they resign, don't

00:37:37.140 show up for graduation, don't get a degree.

00:37:39.480 And the next person comes through and they get all D minuses all throughout college, but

00:37:44.020 they squeak through and graduate.

00:37:45.980 The vast majority of this country would hire the guy with the D minuses.

00:37:50.160 Of course.

00:37:50.600 Because they would say they have a degree in college. 1.00

00:37:54.620 That is the dumbest. 0.98

00:37:56.660 Any individual person with a sense at all could look at that situation and say, obviously, 0.99

00:38:02.800 the person who got all A pluses throughout college is the one you should hire.

00:38:06.140 And yet this system is set up so that the person with the D minuses will get hired in

00:38:10.760 almost all situations.

00:38:12.400 That's insanity.

00:38:13.840 That's insanity.

00:38:14.640 It's got to change.

00:38:15.440 And how many people do you know that are wildly successful that maybe went to a little college

00:38:21.480 or no college and then if they went to college, they dropped out and they're like, this is

00:38:26.080 a waste of time.

00:38:27.280 Yeah.

00:38:27.360 I mean, how many women's studies, you know, ethnic studies, you know, sexual studies do I really

00:38:37.060 need?

00:38:37.960 Do I really need to be able to do business here to be able to wait a minute?

00:38:43.080 I'm working for a bank.

00:38:44.300 I need women's studies for what reason? 1.00

00:38:46.880 Right.

00:38:47.540 No.

00:38:48.320 Well, and this is, I think, a problem too in that you see the way, look at the way our

00:38:53.080 situation is set up right now.

00:38:55.000 You have these big tech companies and they go to these fact checkers and the fact checkers

00:38:58.260 ask experts to get what the right opinion is and then they come back and they present

00:39:02.420 it.

00:39:02.520 Where do they get those experts?

00:39:03.200 Right.

00:39:03.420 Exactly.

00:39:03.820 And this is the problem.

00:39:05.220 There are no conservative gender study experts.

00:39:08.140 Now, there is obviously an argument on the conservative side for these issues.

00:39:13.300 I mean, there's a couple.

00:39:14.040 But there's no experts.

00:39:14.740 Deborah So we've talked to before and she's not a conservative.

00:39:16.920 But she at least has some rational thinking on this.

00:39:19.620 But they've kicked her out. 1.00

00:39:21.060 But they've kicked her out. 1.00

00:39:21.980 Yeah.

00:39:22.120 So when they get people who go against the grain, they kick them out.

00:39:25.720 And generally speaking, a person who's conservative is not going to college to go want to study

00:39:30.040 gender issues.

00:39:31.300 It's just not, it's not within our interest set.

00:39:33.240 But if we don't have experts.

00:39:35.120 Right.

00:39:35.520 At all that are ever provided.

00:39:37.380 When these journalists go to the fact checkers.

00:39:40.580 This.

00:39:40.900 There's no one to ask.

00:39:41.700 Is the problem.

00:39:43.040 We have made people who have gone to college and have a degree, they are the experts, no

00:39:50.240 matter what they believe, over somebody else who can maybe not go to college, but has

00:39:56.740 really tracked, take economics, economics.

00:39:59.500 We are going to the experts to solve inflation.

00:40:04.840 The same experts that caused inflation.

00:40:09.200 And while us non-experts said, you can't do that.

00:40:13.200 It'll inflate the money.

00:40:15.460 The experts said, no, it won't.
