00:00:00.320 Boy, Pat. What? I mean, right?
00:00:04.520 Wild. Yeah. Wild.
00:00:06.560 Pat brought in his wife's... Can you stop doing it?
00:00:10.220 I am really... I don't need help getting fatter.
00:00:13.760 You talking about the pumpkin bread? Yeah.
00:00:15.740 Which I don't like. I never have I looked at pumpkin anything and went,
00:00:19.180 I gotta get me a slice of that. I know, me neither.
00:00:21.500 Yeah, and then it was sitting here. But this is different.
00:00:23.900 Yeah, because she put like, I don't know, caramelized sugar 0.99
00:00:28.240 all over the top of it. Like about an inch thick of caramelized sugar.
00:00:32.280 Yeah, it does make a difference, doesn't it?
00:00:33.940 It does. When it covers up the taste of the pumpkin.
00:00:36.360 Yes. I think caramelized sugar on like feces cake would be...
00:00:40.060 It might be better. It might be better. I'm not...
00:00:41.900 Yeah. No, I'm not suggesting we taste test that, but
00:00:47.020 caramelized sugar makes anything taste good.
00:00:50.220 Yes. So today, today's podcast, covered in caramelized sugar.
00:00:55.480 You don't want to miss it. We talk about Amtrak and this amazing deal.
00:01:01.240 That's right at the top of the podcast. We'll get to it.
00:01:03.140 First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Relief Factor.
00:01:05.440 If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain,
00:01:08.320 listen up. There is hope. And it comes in the form of Relief Factor.
00:01:12.840 Testimonials cross my desk every single day.
00:01:15.220 People who have tried Relief Factor for their pain and gotten their life back.
00:01:19.280 You can do it too. Please.
00:01:21.080 If your challenge every day is due to pain, try Relief Factor.
00:01:26.240 It's not a drug developed by doctors and you can get the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
00:01:31.860 Try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work, yes, you're out $19.95.
00:01:36.440 But if you're part of that 70% who try it to go on to order more,
00:01:40.760 I'm telling you, you get your life back.
00:01:43.720 It's worth the shot. Please give it a try.
00:01:46.000 ReliefFactor.com. That's ReliefFactor.com.
00:01:49.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:03.340 Oh, everybody's famous Fauci nemesis.
00:02:07.720 Rand Paul joins us now.
00:02:09.920 Rand Paul, the senator from Kentucky.
00:02:13.040 How are you, sir?
00:02:14.660 Very good, Glenn. Thanks for having me.
00:02:16.520 You know, I like this.
00:02:19.240 You said yesterday, we've been asking you, and you refuse to answer whether anyone on the vaccine committee gets royalties from the pharmaceutical companies.
00:02:27.620 I asked you last time, and your response was, we don't have to tell you.
00:02:30.800 When we get in charge, we're going to change the rules, and you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies.
00:02:39.060 If anyone on the committee has a conflict of interest, we're going to learn about it.
00:02:42.980 I promise you that.
00:02:45.620 Wow.
00:02:46.100 Can you imagine, Glenn, if your local school board had a member of the school board who sold textbooks and didn't tell anybody, and then there was a bid for textbooks, and he got the contract or she got the contract?
00:03:00.360 In fact, nobody in their right mind thinks that right.
00:03:02.920 There was always, you always have to divulge where your money comes from if you're approving things, particularly Pfizer made $36 billion last quarter.
00:03:12.860 I mean, for goodness sakes, they should be chomping at the bit to reassure us that nobody on that committee is receiving royalties from either Pfizer or Moderna.
00:03:23.780 And then we've got nothing.
00:03:26.120 That was a month ago, and he quotes a law, and we've looked the law up.
00:03:30.380 It's from 1980.
00:03:31.400 It's called the Bay Dole Law, and we're going to try to fix it, but we'll have to amend the law.
00:03:38.500 There's no reason in the world they should get to keep this a secret.
00:03:42.980 You know, I'm not against people getting royalties.
00:03:45.340 If you invent something and you work for government, I'm kind of for that because people will stay in government and not leave.
00:03:51.880 Not everybody will leave government.
00:03:53.200 But I'm against you hiding that information.
00:03:57.360 I wouldn't mind everybody leaving government.
00:04:00.780 That's another discussion.
00:04:03.100 So, you know, the fear that many conservatives have for independents, and there's more and more independents than there are Republicans lately, they are all saying the same thing.
00:04:18.080 If you guys just have hearings and it goes nowhere and nobody pays for the crimes, it'll be the last time anybody pulls a lever for an R. 0.92
00:04:27.140 What power do you guys have if you take control?
00:04:32.020 I'll give you an idea from my perspective.
00:04:35.380 There are different committees, and the committees have different rules.
00:04:38.560 Certain committees have more subpoena rules, and many of the committees you have to have all of the Republicans vote to give you the subpoena power.
00:04:46.760 Some of the committees I'm on have the biggest rhinos in the world, and I'll never be able to get subpoena power.
00:04:53.700 Some of the committees I'm on, I might have the subpoena power.
00:04:56.600 So this will weigh into our decision on which committee to take if we win.
00:05:00.820 The other thing is this.
00:05:03.040 Not only am I going to have hearings, not only will I have an investigation, I'm going to appoint a special investigator, which will likely be like a prosecuting attorney, a lawyer.
00:05:13.400 But I'm also going to appoint a special investigating scientist to help that lawyer, because so much of this is science.
00:05:19.660 The scientists come in, bamboozle the lawyer, and the lawyer says, well, gosh, that's confusing.
00:05:24.600 So we really need a scientist and a lawyer to oversee this, and we are going to find out about the origins, not only what happened, where it came from, but whether there was a cover-up afterwards.
00:05:34.980 There's also the ancillary things of finding out who's getting what money from whom and who's on which committee.
00:05:40.760 And there's also the idea of what kind of studies need to be done to help people make a decision who've either been vaccinated or had the disease or both to know what the truth is about do they need another vaccine.
00:05:54.600 If you've had two vaccines and you've been infected, do you really need a third?
00:05:58.460 Do you need a fourth, a fifth, a tenth?
00:06:00.540 The data they're giving us is completely without any scientific probity.
00:06:06.680 They are saying, oh, well, you make antibodies when we give you this.
00:06:11.160 Well, that doesn't mean I need it.
00:06:12.720 You can give me 100 vaccines and I'll make antibodies every time.
00:06:15.720 It doesn't mean I need it.
00:06:16.820 What you need to know is if I've had two vaccines and I've had COVID, is there any chance I'm going to the hospital or dying from this?
00:06:23.880 And I think it's close to zero.
00:06:26.400 So there's some other things that are really disturbing, Rand, and that is we're now seeing an uptick of rare cancers, especially in the young.
00:06:37.620 18, you know, 40, and doctors can't explain it.
00:06:42.660 There's this there's this glut of deaths that doctors just can't explain.
00:06:47.640 Are any of these connected to the vaccines?
00:06:52.740 I don't know, but I do know that we should have an honest and open mind and study these things.
00:06:58.340 And I do know that things with statistics are sometimes difficult.
00:07:01.940 So, for example, the death rate for COVID overall is about 0.3 percent.
00:07:08.040 So that means really 99.7 percent of the people are going to survive.
00:07:13.580 So when people say, well, I took this and I got better in three days and it must be because I took this.
00:07:19.580 It's hard to know because I took nothing and I got better also.
00:07:22.960 So so you have to look at large numbers when the when the mortality rate is so low, you have to have large numbers of people in each category to figure it out.
00:07:31.940 It's the same with cancer.
00:07:33.140 So we get cancer.
00:07:34.560 And so if somebody gets it and had the vaccine, they in their mind say it was a vaccine.
00:07:38.500 But it's harder to prove than that.
00:07:41.000 But we can statistically look at it.
00:07:42.980 But you have to have large samples and you have to honestly look at it.
00:07:46.380 Now, do I trust the CDC is honestly looking at this?
00:07:49.200 No, I don't think there.
00:07:50.820 I think that they have preconceived notions.
00:07:54.020 One, that everybody should be vaccinated.
00:07:56.220 And this is why they don't release any data on whether or not people have also had COVID.
00:08:01.120 COVID, because then people would, you know, if they had any inclination that maybe having had the infection with or without a vaccine was plenty of protection, that would dissuade them from doing what the CDC has agreed we should do.
00:08:14.320 And that's just keep getting vaccinated all the time every year for this thing.
00:08:18.400 And so but those are things we have to push to find the truth.
00:08:22.120 But it's not always easy to find the truth.
00:08:23.620 Does Moderna still have the the MRNA technology rights?
00:08:31.120 That I don't know.
00:08:33.160 And that's worth looking into.
00:08:34.900 I don't know the answer.
00:08:35.760 Because I understand that for cancer to we're going to slow cancer down in the next 15 years.
00:08:43.020 And we want to invest in this MRNA technology to see if that won't help cure cancer.
00:08:52.520 And I have no problem with that.
00:08:55.600 I just found it interesting that right around the time that Moderna is getting off of the government teat on one thing, they're getting back on the government teat for another and the same technology.
00:09:09.740 Is there anything there?
00:09:11.200 Yeah, I'm not against using the technology and it might work for cancer.
00:09:15.320 So that's where I am on that as well.
00:09:17.280 As far as the government buying or owning big and large chunks of some kind of cure, some kind of treatment, it's a mistake because then they control the usage of it.
00:09:28.920 So, for example, the government approved the monoclonal antibodies under emergency use authorization.
00:09:34.420 They called this an EUA.
00:09:36.960 But when doing so, then they controlled how it was used.
00:09:40.260 And so they said you can only use it as an outpatient.
00:09:43.160 Well, I was getting calls from people all over the country said I'm really sick and they think I'm going to go on a ventilator in the next day or two.
00:09:48.880 But I want the monoclonal antibodies, but they won't give them to me because I'm already an inpatient.
00:09:53.160 And I was like, that's absurd.
00:09:55.040 You know, people are asking me, should I get discharged and go to the emergency room, get the monoclonal antibodies, and then let them bring me back across the curtain into the main hospital?
00:10:03.320 I mean, but that was because the government owned them.
00:10:06.520 So there's a big danger when the government owns things.
00:10:09.120 The other thing that happened and wasn't talked about much on this is this was a billion-dollar, multi-billion-dollar subsidy for the big insurance companies.
00:10:18.600 So 80% of us have health insurance.
00:10:21.160 So when we go to get a vaccine, we either pay or our health insurance pays.
00:10:25.320 But guess what?
00:10:26.480 No matter how rich or poor you were, no matter how you had health insurance or not, you went in and the government paid.
00:10:31.260 Somebody else paid.
00:10:32.020 So the taxpayer paid.
00:10:34.080 You paid premiums to your insurance company, and your insurance company didn't have to pay for treatment of COVID because we socialized the treatment.
00:10:41.280 But really, in doing so, it became this massive gift to the health insurance companies.
00:10:47.080 Do you believe that our government violated the Nuremberg rules?
00:10:52.580 You know, I don't I don't I don't I don't know.
00:10:56.520 You know, the thing is, is I do think that they violated every precept of the scientific method by being open and curious as to the origins of the virus, open and curious and level headed and equal minded.
00:11:11.540 As far as treatment, I think they brought bias and bigotry and preconceptions into everything.
00:11:18.920 And because of that, you know, for example, I don't advise people to go out and take ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.
00:11:25.800 But if I had been in the scientific committees, I would have studied both of them and I would have tried to study them objectively.
00:11:32.020 They were so thoroughly trashed in the media that I don't think we got objective studies.
00:11:37.320 Now, there have been studies outside the U.S. that are a little more objective, but it was all completely traded on Trump derangement syndrome because Trump mentioned something positive about one or both of those treatments.
00:11:49.880 Nobody the left didn't care.
00:11:51.620 The left became consumed with they couldn't work as Trump was for them.
00:11:54.360 And you will recall, at first, they said the vaccine wasn't going to work.
00:11:58.000 You shouldn't take it.
00:11:59.380 Cuomo and Newsom and all these Democrats were saying, don't take it.
00:12:02.400 It's the Trump vaccine, you know, until they became their vaccine.
00:12:06.220 Then it was everybody should take it.
00:12:08.340 But, you know, you've got to stay away from letting the government make all the decisions.
00:12:12.980 You need to disperse power and disperse decision making in health care, same as every other sphere.
00:12:18.320 So a lot of us are, you know, concerned about we didn't learn any of our lessons from really anything.
00:12:25.980 The government hasn't, I should say.
00:12:28.500 And now we're on the monkey pox and God knows what comes next.
00:12:32.800 Are we as a people secure from our own government that we are not going to be forced to be parts of their medical experiments or things in the future?
00:12:44.420 You know, we've had so many of these hearings where the left and the government comes forward and says, we want to dispel vaccine hesitancy.
00:12:53.880 And I push back to them.
00:12:55.360 I say, you realize why we're hesitant because you're not being honest with us.
00:12:58.920 If you're honest with us and give us all the information, you know, people are self-interested.
00:13:03.800 I don't want to die.
00:13:05.300 If I get all the information and I think it's better for me to take the vaccine, I will.
00:13:09.740 I'm not adamantly opposed to taking the vaccine.
00:13:11.860 In fact, for older folks, my in-laws, 91 and 86, my wife got them the vaccine.
00:13:17.640 My wife took the vaccine and she's about my age and healthy but hadn't had COVID.
00:13:21.640 I chose not to just because I'd had COVID.
00:13:23.940 And I thought the evidence was strong even initially that I would have immunity.
00:13:28.060 And as it's gone on, it looks like I have at least as good as the vaccine, maybe twice as good as the vaccine.
00:13:33.080 So these decisions need to be made, but we need to allow the freedom of people to make these decisions and to gain the information.
00:13:43.280 And this has led to a great deal of distrust because people know, frankly, I mean, look at the most recent vaccine that they're going to do now is brand new.
00:13:52.500 It'll be Omicron mixed with the wild variety.
00:13:55.000 So it'll be somewhat an updated vaccine.
00:13:57.820 And you know who they tested it on?
00:13:59.660 Eight mice.
00:14:00.840 No humans.
00:14:01.880 No human trial.
00:14:03.540 No human efficacy trial.
00:14:05.920 No exploration of whether there will be side effects.
00:14:09.880 They tested it on eight mice.
00:14:11.480 The mice made antibodies.
00:14:13.380 So voila, you're going to get a vaccine tested on eight mice.
00:14:16.720 Yes, geez.
00:14:19.340 Senator, please keep you keep up your fight on this.
00:14:22.560 This may be the the reason why you were sent to Washington.
00:14:25.760 You are qualified to speak about it.
00:14:29.460 And, you know, the bull crap that they are that they're shoveling.
00:14:34.020 And we wish you all the best on this.
00:14:36.380 And hopefully, if there were crimes committed, hopefully they will all go to jail.
00:14:43.260 Absolutely.
00:14:44.020 We will not let go of this.
00:14:45.680 And the main reason to me is not only punishing those who have lied to us, but making sure
00:14:51.580 this doesn't happen again, because there are viruses out there that have 60 percent mortality.
00:14:56.480 We could wipe out civilization as we know it if we allow this kind of research to continue.
00:15:01.900 Thank you very much.
00:15:02.900 I appreciate it.
00:15:03.580 Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky.
00:15:09.360 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:15.680 So last night, I laid out kind of a bleak look for the future of energy.
00:15:24.540 And I don't think most people understand we don't need just the energy to run things now.
00:15:30.580 We need much more energy to run the technology of the future.
00:15:36.660 And Alex Epstein is with us.
00:15:40.000 He is from the Center of Industrial Progress founder and president and also the author of a book you must read.
00:15:47.300 It's fossil fuel.
00:15:48.580 And he's come equipped with some real solutions to our energy problem to be able to stave it off.
00:15:57.500 And really, all you need is support from the American people.
00:16:01.060 Right.
00:16:02.300 Yeah.
00:16:02.480 I mean, the great thing about energy is there's all the potential to produce low cost, reliable energy for billions of people in thousands of places.
00:16:10.960 There's no physical resource deficit for doing this, and there's no knowledge deficit.
00:16:16.440 Human beings know how to produce reliable electricity, right?
00:16:19.060 We know how to produce energy on a scale of billions of people.
00:16:21.940 We're just being prohibited from doing it politically, which means that there is a political solution if we are liberated to be able to do it.
00:16:30.240 So we have – I mentioned that in Colorado, I mean, people who have these smart thermostats have said for a while, don't do that.
00:16:38.820 That's a euphemism.
00:16:39.760 Yeah, I know.
00:16:41.000 In Colorado, they had to – they lost control of their thermostats.
00:16:45.320 And I mentioned that and said, you know, if you're right to touch your thermostat is only worth $25 a year to you, good luck.
00:16:55.220 But people are bashing back saying, well, that's because the coal power plants went down, you know, and it was an emergency at the coal fire plants because coal is just not stable.
00:17:06.620 Yeah, we're really in this Orwellian world, right?
00:17:09.680 I mean, like the Inflation Act is called the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:17:13.460 Right.
00:17:14.000 Right.
00:17:14.440 Freedom is slavery and coal is unreliable and solar and wind are reliable.
00:17:20.240 Right, right.
00:17:21.000 Despite the obvious.
00:17:22.080 Yeah, I mean, what they always point to – they did this with the Texas blackouts too – they'll point to some individual failure of some fossil fuel plant and then say, oh, well, this inherently doesn't work.
00:17:33.480 But we know that we can produce reliable electricity with fossil fuels because we've been doing it for generations and we've done it in all weather conditions.
00:17:40.220 You can do it when it's really cold, when it's really hot.
00:17:42.160 So, you know that if a fossil fuel plant fails, that's just something about the specific situation.
00:17:47.900 Correct.
00:17:47.980 That's not the technology.
00:17:49.000 Correct.
00:17:49.360 Solar and wind, they do not produce electricity most of the time.
00:17:53.340 Right.
00:17:53.600 And you can't rely on them almost any time.
00:17:56.280 That's the basic nature of them.
00:17:58.060 And part of what happens when you see fossil fuel failures is often they have to account for the intermittency of solar and wind.
00:18:04.860 So, they have to cycle up and down or be shut down and restarted more, much more than they would be if they were on their own.
00:18:11.160 And – or what happens is they'll get defunded.
00:18:13.860 The way the whole subsidies work, which we just expanded, unfortunately, is that they defund reliable power plants, including things like weatherization, say, for natural gas in Texas.
00:18:22.860 So, we know that we can – again, we have all the ability to produce reliable electricity at low cost.
00:18:27.920 We're just not using it because of political factors.
00:18:31.040 Okay.
00:18:31.060 So, let's go over your five-point plan.
00:18:34.200 So, this is – I call this the Energy Freedom Platform, and I encourage politicians of all parties to adopt this.
00:18:41.680 I mean, unfortunately, right now, Democrats are not being very good in terms of energy.
00:18:46.200 They almost all supported the Inflation Act.
00:18:48.220 I think basically all of them did.
00:18:49.560 And by the way, I played the audio from an activist group that was a part of this inflation reduction bill, and they admitted –
00:19:00.760 and they were talking to their own supporters, and they're like, look, it's not about inflation.
00:19:03.900 It's really a green bill, which we all kind of knew if you were paying attention.
00:19:08.340 It's a green bill.
00:19:09.940 It's stuffed with stuff about green energy.
00:19:14.120 Yeah, and we could talk about how – I mean, I consider that a four-step recipe for destroying American energy, basically,
00:19:19.480 because just very quickly – so, it involves increasing dependence on unreliable electricity.
00:19:23.960 If you want to destroy American energy, that's a good step one. 0.81
00:19:26.620 Step two is add taxes and restrictions to fossil fuels during fossil fuel shortages.
00:19:31.740 That's a good step, too.
00:19:34.420 What were the other steps?
00:19:35.360 I mean, it's so bad.
00:19:36.200 Oh, yeah, increase the power of the EPA to shut down fossil fuel projects.
00:19:40.120 We need more of that, obviously.
00:19:41.720 And then increase the power of environmental justice activists to stop all energy development.
00:19:46.260 And you just have done that through the DOJ now.
00:19:48.620 Yeah, so they have this four-step thing, which if you were trying to destroy American energy, it's hard to think of a better plan.
00:19:54.120 So, let's talk about how to improve American energy with the Energy Freedom Platform.
00:19:57.520 So, I'll give the five, and then we can go into depth in any one of them.
00:20:00.880 Okay.
00:20:00.940 So, number one is liberate responsible development.
00:20:05.280 Number two is end preferences for unreliable electricity.
00:20:10.800 Number three is reform air and water emission standards to incorporate cost-benefit analysis.
00:20:17.140 This is a really important one for EPA stuff.
00:20:20.140 Number four is liberate – is rather reduce emissions long-term through innovation, not through punishing America.
00:20:28.360 Through liberating innovation, not through punishing America.
00:20:30.940 And then number five, which I know you'll be sympathetic to, is decriminalize nuclear energy.
00:20:36.220 Oh, my gosh.
00:20:38.000 So, we can talk about any of those, but they're all crucial.
00:20:40.760 Let's just take them one by one, real quick.
00:20:43.860 First one.
00:20:44.680 So, liberate responsible development.
00:20:47.740 Energy inherently involves developing the world around us.
00:20:51.680 And yet, we have an anti-development movement that is setting energy policy and running many of these agencies.
00:20:58.300 So, there's opposition to development even in the investment world, but in particular, just all these anti-development policies that are restricting fossil fuel development, nuclear development, etc.
00:21:07.620 So, like ESG is a good example of this.
00:21:09.860 Well, yeah, ESG is a kind of quasi-political.
00:21:12.500 But if you just look at how difficult it is, if you take nuclear, like how difficult it is to start a nuclear plant.
00:21:17.880 You know, it used to take four years.
00:21:19.360 Now, it takes 16 years.
00:21:20.540 Part of that is you have these anti-development so-called green activists who can stop things on a dime.
00:21:25.980 So, what you really need are policies that are fundamentally pro-development and that they're responsible development in the sense of they try to stop endangerment.
00:21:34.620 So, you don't want to endanger local people or endanger some national treasure, but you can't have the idea that it's wrong to develop nature.
00:21:41.880 And that terrible anti-human idea is at the root of so many of our laws and policies.
00:21:47.140 So, when I go into the details, if people go to energytalkingpoints.com, you'll see there's a lot of specific policies that need to be reformed that are anti-development right now.
00:21:57.000 All right.
00:21:57.380 Number two.
00:21:58.520 So, is end preferences for unreliable electricity.
00:22:02.620 And on that website, there's something called electricity emergency, which goes into the details.
00:22:06.960 But basically, right now, we do three things.
00:22:09.100 We have mandates for unreliable electricity.
00:22:11.360 We prefer them in that way.
00:22:12.400 Many states have those, like my state of California, unfortunately, has those.
00:22:16.140 We have subsidies, which we just expanded under the Inflation Act, right?
00:22:20.720 So, we did that.
00:22:22.120 And then the most insidious that people don't know is that we have very unfair pricing because there is no cost penalty for selling unreliable electricity into the grid.
00:22:31.900 Now, you think about that.
00:22:33.100 Imagine you had a car company and you got to charge the same for a car that worked a third of the time and a car that works all the time.
00:22:40.640 Wow.
00:22:41.420 That's how the grid works.
00:22:42.980 You get the same amount for selling unreliable electricity as reliable electricity.
00:22:47.140 And actually, you get more because all the subsidies we have that we just extended.
00:22:50.960 So, you actually get paid a premium for selling something that is not nearly as valuable.
00:22:56.020 And sometimes, unreliable electricity is of negative value.
00:22:58.440 Sometimes, if you have too much electricity, you need to offload it.
00:23:02.200 So, if you pay a premium for unreliable electricity, guess what?
00:23:07.460 You get unreliable electricity.
00:23:10.760 Okay.
00:23:11.420 Number three.
00:23:12.660 So, this had to do with the air and water emission standards.
00:23:15.660 And so, right now, let's look at what the EPA is doing.
00:23:18.260 We have, in that article, Electricity Emergency, I talk about, they're slated to be 93 gigawatts of coal shutting down in terms of already announced things.
00:23:26.200 That's almost one-tenth of our reliable capacity.
00:23:28.840 That's one-tenth.
00:23:29.440 That's craziness.
00:23:29.860 This is by 2030.
00:23:31.660 But there's also the threat of 92 more.
00:23:34.480 So, almost a fifth of our reliable capacity.
00:23:37.040 Like, there's a reliability bloodbath that's scheduled to happen.
00:23:40.940 The lion's share of this comes from EPA policies.
00:23:43.880 So, it's EPA deliberately trying to do things that will shut down these coal plants, even though, as you've talked about, there's no viable replacement in the pipeline.
00:23:51.720 We have almost no nuclear scheduled, not nearly enough gas.
00:23:55.240 So, how does the EPA justify this?
00:23:57.800 Well, one thing is, they don't use real cost-benefit analysis when they're making decisions.
00:24:02.300 So, they'll say, like, hey, wouldn't it be great to have lower emissions?
00:24:05.220 But they don't think about, well, what is the cost of that in terms of what are the costs to human life of an unreliable grid?
00:24:12.240 They're almost incalculable.
00:24:13.460 So, the EPA is making these decisions, and they're not giving any consideration to the reliability of the grid.
00:24:19.220 So, that's an example of where you need real cost-benefit analysis with these.
00:24:23.720 Are there any honest people on this side?
00:24:28.000 I mean, I don't understand how an honest person can look at it and not say, yeah, but this is going to make things more unreliable.
00:24:34.780 And people will either die from heat stroke or they will die from freezing in the winter.
00:24:40.240 You know, you can't just have an unreliable grid like this.
00:24:44.720 Is there anybody on the other side that is asking these questions that's honest?
00:24:48.900 I think one – I mean, there are some people who are really anti-energy.
00:24:53.320 And so, in a sense, they're honest, although they hide it from the public.
00:24:55.980 But they just – they want less power.
00:24:57.460 They want to de-industrialize.
00:24:58.720 There's that kind of thing.
00:24:59.400 Yeah.
00:24:59.740 Well, that's –
00:25:00.220 I think one of the challenges is – I talk about this in Chapter 1 of Fossil Future.
00:25:04.060 We rely on what I call a knowledge system to give us expert knowledge and guidance on all these specialized areas.
00:25:09.880 And what you have is multiple of these specializations are failing at the same time, but each specialization thinks the other is doing its job.
00:25:18.380 So, for instance, the electricity people have been hiding the electricity emergency.
00:25:22.500 They're not acknowledging it.
00:25:23.800 Many of the companies have not been acknowledging it.
00:25:26.400 You talk to them behind the scenes, they'll say, yeah, this is a disaster.
00:25:28.840 But publicly, they won't say anything.
00:25:30.580 The regulators are kind of silent.
00:25:32.520 And so, the public thinks, oh, there's not that – there's not that big a threat.
00:25:36.480 And then, you know, the EPA people, they'll distort the science about the side effects of coal.
00:25:41.100 And they – but they'll kind of think, oh, yeah, we don't have to worry about reliability because the grid isn't saying that much.
00:25:46.080 So, kind of there's this – there's dishonesty kind of everywhere, but one reinforces the other.
00:25:51.580 I mean, we've got a world that thought legitimately that you could rapidly eliminate fossil fuels by 2050, and it would work really well.
00:26:00.240 Like, this was the mainstream view.
00:26:01.720 And part of it is there's all these false views that are being combined.
00:26:06.120 And people have this idea.
00:26:07.740 Well, most people – the experts, so-called – the people we're told are experts, they can't be that wrong.
00:26:13.340 But they can be that wrong in part because what we're told the experts think is usually a massive distortion of what the actual researchers in a field think.
00:26:23.420 Yes.
00:26:24.240 That's happening with global warming all the time.
00:26:26.480 Oh, yeah, of course.
00:26:27.120 I mean, it's the idea that it's – the world is going to end if it gets, you know, one or two degrees warmer on a planet where far more people die of cold than of heat.
00:26:35.620 The researchers don't think that, but that gets distorted by what I call our knowledge system to make it, oh, it's an apocalypse,
00:26:41.080 and you have to take a crash emergency action and destroy all your energy, and then the planet will be nice to you and life will be great.
00:26:48.820 Give me the fourth one.
00:26:51.000 So the fourth one is reduce emissions long-term.
00:26:55.340 It's very important.
00:26:55.900 It has to be long-term because there's no short-term reducing of emissions.
00:26:58.240 That's the pipe dream.
00:26:59.040 So it's reduce CO2 emissions long-term by liberating innovation, not punishing America.
00:27:05.700 When did we lose that in America?
00:27:08.100 Lose which one?
00:27:08.680 The idea that we innovate our way out of problems.
00:27:13.400 Instead, we're just dismantling everything.
00:27:18.160 Instead of saying, you know, hey, we've got a food storage problem.
00:27:23.840 Somebody comes up with the refrigerator.
00:27:26.160 You know what I mean?
00:27:26.960 We are already seeing technology that is – we have reduced greenhouse gases better than anybody else,
00:27:35.220 and a lot of it is because of new technology, but we just dismiss that.
00:27:40.180 I think there are a couple things going on.
00:27:42.220 So one is this idea that CO2 emissions are an emergency, and when you think of something as an emergency, you need to get rid of it immediately.
00:27:49.640 And if that's your view, the only thing you can do is just massively destroy human life.
00:27:54.380 I mean, that's the only way you can do it.
00:27:56.040 To reduce emissions now in a world where fossil fuels are 80% of the world's energy, in a world that needs vastly more energy,
00:28:02.280 3 billion people using less electricity per person than one of our refrigerators, like, the world is going to be using more fossil fuels for a while.
00:28:08.840 So if you think of it as an emergency the world is going to end, then you are going to do these crash programs and accept these terrible consequences,
00:28:15.980 which we're just beginning to see because we've only reduced fossil fuels a little bit compared to what has been asked for by World Economic Forum and all these other people.
00:28:25.520 So one is this emergency mindset is really bad, and it's not justified.
00:28:30.060 We're safer than ever from climate.
00:28:32.060 CO2 emissions have a warming impact and a greening impact.
00:28:34.860 It's not a catastrophic impact.
00:28:36.760 If you want to lower emissions, you have to think of it as a long-term thing.
00:28:39.840 That's the only moral way, and it's the only practical way.
00:28:42.320 China and India are not going to lower their emissions until there's a cost-effective alternative. 0.81
00:28:47.520 Now, the Greens say they want cost-effective alternatives.
00:28:50.320 They say they want solar and wind.
00:28:51.880 But notice that their approach is to first restrict fossil fuels, I know you've talked about, and then promise a replacement.
00:28:58.780 That's not how markets work.
00:29:00.140 That's not how freedom works.
00:29:01.320 That's not how anything of common sense works.
00:29:03.920 You don't say, hey, I know all the machines in the hospital are keeping your husband alive,
00:29:09.860 but we're going to try something that's never been done before, so we're going to turn off all of those machines
00:29:14.980 and then hope that something works.
00:29:17.880 That's insane.
00:29:19.860 But that has been the policy.
00:29:21.400 Part of it has been disguised.
00:29:23.400 So they've said, to take your analogy, they've said the equivalent of, hey, we have this amazing new machine.
00:29:27.980 We're developing green machines, right?
00:29:30.000 But what they didn't say is their main policy is shutting down the machines that work.
00:29:34.380 Like, what did Biden do first, right?
00:29:36.480 Shuts down the Keystone XL pipeline, bans leasing on federal lands.
00:29:40.960 He didn't come up with some new energy innovation and prove it.
00:29:44.120 He shut down what was working.
00:29:47.020 And that's the huge problem.
00:29:48.800 And so the approach has to be you liberate innovation so you get things like cost-effective nuclear,
00:29:53.820 but you don't dictate inferior alternatives and call that innovation.
00:29:57.440 Unfortunately, that's what passes for innovation today.
00:29:59.680 And that's what the whole Inflation Act is about, is about mandating or coercing us to using these things that don't work.
00:30:06.380 So you are working with like a hundred different legislative offices, correct?
00:30:11.120 Yeah, to various degrees.
00:30:12.260 So two years ago, I was very frustrated by, I was having success with the public and I was having success in the corporate world,
00:30:18.500 but the political world was just totally ignorant of the kind of pro-human, pro-freedom energy thinking I had been developing.
00:30:25.300 And I figured out like the thing I could do was I needed to figure out how to give them messaging and policy in a way that was useful for them.
00:30:32.600 So I started this website, energytalkingpoints.com.
00:30:35.640 Like everything on that can be fit in a tweet.
00:30:38.180 So it's like really efficient ways of explaining pro-freedom views.
00:30:41.880 So if you go there, there's like probably thousands of individual talking points, all really well referenced.
00:30:46.580 And then I found that I got demand for people to get custom help.
00:30:50.080 So I created something called energy talking points on demand where I'd have bi-weekly briefings and it's just with high-level offices.
00:30:56.440 So it's congressional offices, U.S. Senate offices and governor's offices.
00:31:01.000 And so we have about 300 staffers who are part of it, over 100 offices.
00:31:05.220 And increasingly, I'm meeting with the elected officials themselves.
00:31:07.900 I spoke to a group of 20 last time I was in D.C.
00:31:09.800 I'm going to D.C. next week.
00:31:11.540 And what I found is there's a real appetite for this because many of these offices want to be pro-energy and pro-freedom.
00:31:17.120 But they didn't have the messaging to refute all the myths and also clarity on what to do going forward.
00:31:23.620 And that's why I developed the energy freedom platform was the clarity on what to do going forward.
00:31:28.060 So what I've been encouraging them to do is, hey, you can this is a blueprint.
00:31:31.420 You can win on these issues and you can do something really good.
00:31:34.640 So, say, Republicans, I'm not politically political, really, but let's say Republicans right now are much more pro-energy.
00:31:39.960 If you guys take over Congress, you need to advocate something positive.
00:31:43.680 You can't just once you take over, you can't just react to negatives.
00:31:46.700 There's a lot of reacting to negatives and not a clear having positive.
00:31:50.620 So I would ask your your listeners if they like this.
00:31:53.620 It's really, really simple.
00:31:55.140 Just call your office.
00:31:56.940 Call your office.
00:31:58.100 Oh, you're going to say something.
00:31:59.000 I've got it.
00:31:59.700 I've got about 20 seconds before we break.
00:32:01.700 Oh, sorry.
00:32:02.200 Just just say talk to Alex Epstein.
00:32:04.660 Give them my email.
00:32:05.480 Alex at Alex Epstein dot com.
00:32:06.940 Just tell the office to email me and I will set up a call with them and I'll tell them all about how to use the energy freedom platform.
00:32:15.360 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:32:24.060 Well, I have some good news.
00:32:26.040 Let's see.
00:32:27.240 America's struggling under Biden's inflation.
00:32:29.040 No.
00:32:29.400 Democratic senator says it's a call to arms against.
00:32:38.140 No, not that one.
00:32:41.520 Congressman Tim Ryan claims kill MAGA movement comment was about.
00:32:45.220 No, it's not that one.
00:32:47.240 Hang on just a second.
00:32:48.260 Oh, here.
00:32:48.960 No, it's not this one either.
00:32:51.200 Oh, here it is.
00:32:53.160 Sweden.
00:32:53.640 Now, may I remind you.
00:32:57.320 Who Sweden is.
00:33:00.200 Sweden is an exceptional place because Sweden Sweden during World War Two helps so many people help so many people escape the Nazis, etc., etc.
00:33:12.700 And they call full calm, which is the people's home.
00:33:18.780 That's what they call them.
00:33:19.760 It's a paradise.
00:33:21.160 It's the people's home. 0.91
00:33:21.980 And they besides offering incredible levels of taxation and even incredible levels of spending, even for Western Europe.
00:33:31.220 They are the gold standard of welcoming everyone.
00:33:37.960 Well, they had a surprising election.
00:33:41.720 Not only did the social Democrat led alliance fail to win its customary majority, the right wing alliance is now radically altered as well.
00:33:52.640 It may still be fronted by the center right moderates, but the largest component now is the hard right Sweden Democrats.
00:34:01.840 The margin between the left and right blocks may be as tight as a single seat, but this is huge.
00:34:10.880 As recently as 2018, the Sweden Democrats were beyond the pale.
00:34:16.300 The problem wasn't only that, like most of Europe's new right parties, they originated on a neo-fascist fringe in the 1980s.
00:34:27.760 Their leader, Jimmy, I don't know, Ackinson or what is the A with the circle above it?
00:34:34.420 I don't even know.
00:34:35.040 Anyway, some Swedish name who moved them to the center also alienated the moderates by speaking out so bluntly about immigration, Islam and crime.
00:34:46.400 This is 2018.
00:34:48.600 And they got the third largest share of votes in 2018.
00:34:52.520 And that led the Social Democrats keep going.
00:34:56.160 Well, Mr. Ackinson, whatever, and the Sweden Democrats, they were all painted as racist.
00:35:07.300 Yeah.
00:35:09.420 So Sweden used to be notoriously safe.
00:35:14.140 It was exceptional in all ways.
00:35:16.320 And today it is still exceptional, just in a different way.
00:35:21.160 Sweden now has the highest number of reported rapes per capita.
00:35:28.780 In 2021, according to Sweden's National Council for Crime Prevention, Sweden had the second highest number of deadly shootings per capita.
00:35:36.920 Just after Croatia.
00:35:39.740 Ten years ago, the annual survey, Society, Opinion and Media found that law and order was the Swedes' lowest priority.
00:35:47.420 This year it's their top priority at 41 percent.
00:35:50.520 Next comes health care.
00:35:53.140 Huh.
00:35:54.040 Health care is a problem now in Sweden.
00:35:56.840 Wait, but the government pays for everything.
00:35:59.400 I know.
00:35:59.900 Huh.
00:36:00.320 And it worked when you were working with this all white, blonde hair, blue eyed, homogenous, little teeny country where everybody thought alike and worked alike.
00:36:12.340 Now you've got they took more immigrants than anyone else from the Middle East. 0.87
00:36:19.460 And they were like, yeah, sure.
00:36:21.280 They will like our lifestyle.
00:36:23.080 It turns out, no, they don't.
00:36:24.900 They don't.
00:36:25.940 And now they can't pay for their health care, their insurance and immigration was at 31 percent.
00:36:36.400 And all of the issues are cascades of immigration.
00:36:40.120 So it looks like Sweden is coming to a new dance saying, you know what, what you guys are doing doesn't work.
00:36:52.220 Hopefully, Sweden will stay centered on common sense and not go to the fascistic side of the European right.
00:37:05.780 It's our left is fascism and socialism is our left.
00:37:09.200 By the way, some more good news, you know, Murkowski thought she was pulling a quick one because of the what do they call it?
00:37:20.100 The preference voting choice.
00:37:23.380 Yeah.
00:37:23.600 Right.
00:37:24.820 And she thought she was going to win.
00:37:26.560 And now it looks like no.
00:37:30.760 Some of the Republicans that were on part of that rank choice have dropped out and a Democrat dropped out.
00:37:38.800 And endorsed the Republican leader.
00:37:42.020 Wow.
00:37:43.260 Wouldn't that be great to get rid of Lisa Murkowski finally? 1.00
00:37:46.760 Oh, yeah.
00:37:47.420 Oh, and there's no reason for a state like Alaska, which is, you know, a solid red state to have a person like Lisa Murkowski. 1.00
00:37:58.100 You can understand it in Maine.
00:38:00.200 You can't understand it in Alaska.
00:38:02.420 So how do you say her name?
00:38:03.560 Kelly Tashika Tashikbaka.
00:38:06.500 Is that right?
00:38:07.120 I think it's Baka. 0.97
00:38:07.740 I'd have to look at it.
00:38:09.260 Here's it looks like Tashikbaka.
00:38:12.680 Oh, yeah.
00:38:13.260 She Baka. 1.00
00:38:14.140 She Baka. 1.00
00:38:14.720 OK, so Kelly She Baka is the front runner now that could be the next senator from from Alaska, which would be fantastic. 1.00
00:38:28.280 By the way, why is it if the MAGA Republicans are the scariest Republicans ever to walk the earth?
00:38:37.800 Why?
00:38:38.440 Why why is the Democratic Party spending so much money to help elect MAGA Republicans?
00:38:45.500 You wouldn't you know, it's like I would not I would say, hey, Nazis, scary.
00:38:51.060 And I wouldn't put my money hoping that the American people would elect these Nazis. 0.52
00:39:00.380 That would be insanity.
00:39:02.440 What if they win and they're Nazis? 0.72
00:39:06.180 Why is the Democratic Party spending so much money on MAGA?
00:39:11.100 If they think that it's just because, oh, well, they're not going to win.
00:39:16.280 We'll be able to beat that one.
00:39:17.920 Really?
00:39:18.900 OK.
00:39:19.900 All right.
00:39:20.480 You should call some people over in Sweden.
00:39:22.900 You know what I'm saying?
00:39:23.420 There's no way if you really believed what they say they believe.
00:39:27.420 There's no way you take that chance.
00:39:28.780 There's not a chance to believe they Mitt Romney was the devil.
00:39:32.760 And now.
00:39:33.960 Oh, they love him.
00:39:34.700 Yeah.
00:39:35.220 And and then it's it's Donald Trump is the devil.
00:39:38.700 And then when Donald Trump is, you know, out of the way, it will be the next guy.
00:39:42.940 Ron George Bush.
00:39:44.000 Remember when he was the devil?
00:39:45.320 He was the devil.
00:39:45.980 He was Satan himself.
00:39:47.040 And now Michelle Obama claims, oh, I just love him to death.
00:39:53.420 I love that George W. Bush.
00:39:56.260 I want you to ask yourself this question.
00:39:58.600 You know, earlier this week, I went over a list list of good and evil.
00:40:03.260 I want to give that list again.
00:40:04.640 Remind me after the break here.
00:40:06.580 I just want to ask you truth or fiction.
00:40:09.240 Is this true or false?
00:40:11.160 And it's really easy.
00:40:14.260 Philadelphia D.A.
00:40:16.200 Now, this is Fetterman backs this this district attorney.
00:40:21.400 OK, the.
00:40:23.420 Philadelphia D.A.
00:40:24.460 Have you seen Philadelphia lately?
00:40:28.760 Luckily, I haven't been anywhere near there, but I have seen the streets for videos and
00:40:35.040 everything else of Philadelphia.
00:40:36.080 I understand it's beautiful this time of year.
00:40:38.160 Oh, just as the dead body chalk outlines start to be washed away by the fall rains.
00:40:43.100 Oh, that's really nice.
00:40:44.420 So the Philly D.A.
00:40:46.220 said it's not true that there's any kind of crime spike in Philadelphia.
00:40:51.840 Oh, is that demonstrably true or false?
00:40:57.940 Make your decision and no excuses.
00:41:02.100 Make your decision.
00:41:03.560 You're either.
00:41:04.620 It's either a lie or it is true.
00:41:07.000 There's nothing in between lie or true.
00:41:10.940 If it's true.
00:41:12.020 If it's true.
00:41:12.140 Great.
00:41:12.500 You're with the right guy.
00:41:13.280 If it's a lie.
00:41:14.040 What are you doing?
00:41:16.880 OK.
00:41:17.700 A Democratic candidate.
00:41:21.700 Senate candidate.
00:41:23.440 Mandela Barnes.
00:41:24.660 Said police don't prevent crimes from happening.
00:41:30.300 True or false.
00:41:33.120 How about this one?
00:41:35.540 Kamala Harris.
00:41:36.880 We're seeing progress in bringing prices down.
00:41:41.880 True or false.
00:41:44.480 These are all just from yesterday.
00:41:48.980 How about this one?
00:41:50.500 Stacey Abrams.
00:41:51.360 I've never denied I lost an election.
00:41:59.100 True or false.
00:42:02.080 No wordsmithing.
00:42:03.800 No word games.
00:42:05.720 True or false.
00:42:10.120 When you are looking at.
00:42:12.080 And I do this every day.
00:42:13.400 In fact, we probably should.
00:42:14.780 When you look at statements from the leadership of our country.
00:42:19.340 And I'll do this with the Republicans as well.
00:42:23.060 If they're lying to you.
00:42:26.520 There's a problem.
00:42:28.500 I've been I've been thinking.
00:42:30.380 And not a problem with the country.
00:42:32.320 There's a problem with you.
00:42:33.560 If you're voting for known liars.
00:42:36.740 If you're accepting these incredible lies.
00:42:41.380 There's a problem with you.
00:42:43.020 And you got to stop.
00:42:44.700 You got to stop.
00:42:47.640 I have been a supporter.
00:42:49.880 Of the Article 5.
00:42:52.900 Convention of States.
00:42:55.040 I've been a pretty big supporter.
00:42:57.020 Vocal supporter.
00:42:59.060 I'm reversing that today.
00:43:01.420 Because after some real thought and prayer.
00:43:09.920 We are not the people.
00:43:12.600 To open up this sacred document.
00:43:16.480 We are not the people.
00:43:19.640 That was a God inspired document.
00:43:23.200 That was divinely written.
00:43:25.160 And you can read it from.
00:43:26.420 I don't know how many founders.
00:43:28.700 Benjamin Franklin even said that.
00:43:30.560 The very hand of God.
00:43:33.520 Was involved in the writing of that document.
00:43:36.320 Do you believe.
00:43:38.140 That we could send.
00:43:40.060 Delegates.
00:43:41.160 To a convention today.
00:43:44.040 That would have that kind of inspiration.
00:43:46.880 That when they got to an impasse.
00:43:49.220 Somebody would be there like Ben Franklin.
00:43:51.460 That would say.
00:43:52.540 Let's pause.
00:43:54.080 And all go to church and pray.
00:43:57.020 And they didn't politic.
00:43:58.860 They prayed.
00:43:59.900 I am not for opening that constitution anymore.
00:44:08.940 Because we are not the people.
00:44:11.820 When we are the people.
00:44:13.940 I'll be for it again.
00:44:16.080 When we have demonstrated our humility.
00:44:19.540 And our obedience to God.
00:44:22.360 And I'm afraid it's just going to take a massive beat down.
00:44:25.960 Of our country.
00:44:27.400 To get to that place.
00:44:28.540 But someday we will be humble enough.
00:44:31.360 We will recognize God.
00:44:32.820 We will not be an enemy to God.
00:44:35.440 We will not be so arrogant.
00:44:38.140 And when we're those people.
00:44:41.200 I will support.
00:44:43.600 The.
00:44:46.240 Convention of states.
00:44:47.400 But.
00:44:49.320 I would draw my support.
00:44:51.200 And I'm sorry to say that.
00:44:53.140 But I would draw my support.
00:44:55.180 But it is.
00:44:57.000 Because.
00:44:58.540 Of.
00:45:00.220 The fact that this constitution.
00:45:02.720 Is wholly inaccurate.
00:45:04.900 Inadequate.
00:45:06.420 For anyone.
00:45:08.140 Other than a.
00:45:09.720 Religious.
00:45:10.720 And moral people.
00:45:11.820 We are not those people.
00:45:14.820 And we should not.
00:45:16.880 Stain.
00:45:17.480 This document.
00:45:19.940 So.
00:45:21.940 Earlier this week.
00:45:23.040 I did a monologue.
00:45:25.940 On.
00:45:26.500 On.
00:45:26.540 On just.
00:45:29.360 Charting.
00:45:30.220 Where we are.
00:45:32.020 There are.
00:45:33.760 Two sides.
00:45:34.660 And it is.
00:45:35.600 They're growing further and further apart.
00:45:37.920 And.
00:45:38.940 Each of us.
00:45:39.620 Have to decide.
00:45:41.560 Um.
00:45:42.160 To.
00:45:43.680 Not just be pushed along.
00:45:45.620 In the.
00:45:46.620 Drift.
00:45:46.940 Or the undercurrents.
00:45:48.500 We.
00:45:48.740 We choose.
00:45:50.360 We choose.
00:45:51.220 And every day.
00:45:52.100 You can choose.
00:45:52.920 Something different.
00:45:53.980 A pat.
00:45:54.300 The past.
00:45:55.480 Does not dictate.
00:45:56.780 What you do.
00:45:58.020 In the future.
00:45:58.720 Unless.
00:45:59.580 You allow it to.
00:46:04.220 When did we.
00:46:05.420 As a people.
00:46:06.480 Stop believing.
00:46:08.380 That sexual abuse.
00:46:09.980 Of children.
00:46:10.660 Is maybe.
00:46:12.520 Explainable.
00:46:14.160 When did we stop believing.
00:46:15.540 That that was.
00:46:16.440 Evil.
00:46:17.320 To think that.
00:46:19.840 It's not.
00:46:20.640 Explainable.
00:46:21.860 You're abusing.
00:46:23.660 A child.
00:46:25.760 Taking away.
00:46:26.840 Their innocence.
00:46:27.320 In any way.
00:46:28.860 Is evil.
00:46:30.880 When did we.
00:46:32.000 Think that it was okay.
00:46:33.320 To show pornography. 0.78
00:46:34.160 To kids.
00:46:35.180 Show sex acts.
00:46:36.720 To kids.
00:46:37.640 To sexualize.
00:46:38.960 Our children.
00:46:39.960 To have them.
00:46:40.540 Dance on stage.
00:46:42.200 At a strip club.
00:46:44.400 When.
00:46:45.240 Did we stop.
00:46:46.700 Saying.
00:46:47.380 That's evil.
00:46:49.920 Because we're not.
00:46:51.020 Hearing it.
00:46:51.940 Very much.
00:46:54.180 Children.
00:46:54.960 Drag. 1.00
00:46:55.800 Childhood.
00:46:57.120 Drag shows.
00:47:00.200 Drag story time.
00:47:01.920 In your school.
00:47:04.320 When did we stop.
00:47:05.620 Saying it was evil.
00:47:06.420 To indoctrinate.
00:47:07.300 Children.
00:47:07.780 In hopelessness.
00:47:08.980 When did we say.
00:47:10.820 You know.
00:47:12.000 It's perfectly fine.
00:47:13.240 To teach kids.
00:47:14.120 To hate their family.
00:47:15.680 Mistrust.
00:47:16.240 Or distrust.
00:47:17.000 Their parents.
00:47:18.360 And hate their country.
00:47:21.500 Hate God.
00:47:23.200 When did we say.
00:47:24.320 That was okay.
00:47:27.760 When did we start.
00:47:29.320 Believing.
00:47:29.760 That forcing people.
00:47:31.020 Forcing people.
00:47:31.640 To participate.
00:47:32.520 In medical experiments.
00:47:35.860 Was okay.
00:47:37.920 When did we say.
00:47:39.580 It was okay.
00:47:40.200 For children's.
00:47:41.780 Hospitals.
00:47:43.220 To dismember.
00:47:44.140 Or amputate.
00:47:45.620 Perfectly good limbs.
00:47:46.980 Or appendages.
00:47:48.160 On a healthy body.
00:47:49.740 Of children.
00:47:52.340 When did we say.
00:47:53.400 It's okay.
00:47:53.760 To loot stores.
00:47:55.400 Burn cities down.
00:47:57.020 Destroy families.
00:47:58.820 Cancel speech.
00:47:59.880 In a much more.
00:48:00.520 Widespread way.
00:48:01.540 Than we ever did.
00:48:02.300 In the 1950s.
00:48:03.800 And when did we all.
00:48:05.000 Decide.
00:48:05.720 That it was the good.
00:48:07.460 Versus the evil.
00:48:09.240 Of preaching.
00:48:10.120 Color of skin.
00:48:11.260 Over content.
00:48:12.340 Of character.
00:48:16.660 We haven't changed.
00:48:18.780 We've just.
00:48:19.980 Fallen silent.
00:48:21.540 We no longer.
00:48:22.720 Look at these things.
00:48:23.860 As anything.
00:48:24.520 But a social issue.
00:48:25.960 Which side.
00:48:26.500 Am I supposed to be on?
00:48:28.400 You don't have to be a hero.
00:48:31.060 You just have to remember.
00:48:33.220 What was good.
00:48:35.120 And what was evil.
00:48:37.380 That's it.
00:48:39.000 Those things don't change.
00:48:40.720 If you think.
00:48:42.140 That it's okay.
00:48:43.220 To sexually abuse a child.
00:48:44.940 As an adult.
00:48:46.300 You know what?
00:48:47.300 It might be popular.
00:48:49.020 For a while.
00:48:50.000 But I guarantee you.
00:48:52.500 It will return.
00:48:54.420 To a universal truth.
00:48:56.620 Our children.
00:48:57.680 Are sacred.
00:49:01.360 It will return.
00:49:04.820 Which side.
00:49:06.180 Are you on?
00:49:07.080 We are told.
00:49:09.960 That there will come a time.
00:49:11.080 Where good becomes evil.
00:49:12.360 And evil becomes good.
00:49:14.520 We are there.
00:49:16.900 We are truly there.
00:49:19.800 Please.
00:49:20.460 You're listening to this program.
00:49:21.800 At this time.
00:49:22.660 For a reason.

00:49:25.820 Wake up.
00:49:27.280 And take.
