The Glenn Beck Program - Capitalism Is in Big Trouble ｜ Guests： Ken Paxton & Brian Riedl ｜ 1⧸27⧸21

00:00:00.000 Thanks, Hillary.

00:00:00.780 Appreciate it.

00:00:01.920 We are brought to you by Keeps.

00:00:04.780 Keeps.com.

00:00:06.340 Keeps will help keep your hair. 0.88

00:00:08.960 That's why they call it Keeps.

00:00:10.320 Is that really?

00:00:10.920 Because I just realized that.

00:00:12.460 Yeah.

00:00:13.440 Huh.

00:00:14.040 If your hair isn't looking maybe as full as it used to,

00:00:17.040 or maybe you're noticing a couple hairs in the sink or the shower.

00:00:22.960 They have anything you could rub on your nose so the hair doesn't grow in your nose or your ears?

00:00:26.920 I don't know.

00:00:27.700 We'll have to ask them about that.

00:00:28.600 Oh, man, I'd like to keep my hair on my head and lose the hair in my ears.

00:00:32.060 Yeah, that doesn't happen.

00:00:32.900 That doesn't happen.

00:00:33.700 Except if you go to Keeps.

00:00:34.800 If you go to Keeps, you can have FDA-approved hair loss treatments.

00:00:41.380 But Keeps offers the generic versions, about half the cost.

00:00:44.220 They make it very easy.

00:00:45.060 You can do it at your house.

00:00:45.960 All you have to do is snap a couple pictures of your hair, not your nose hair.

00:00:49.280 Yeah.

00:00:49.780 Don't do that.

00:00:50.320 I can't help you on that.

00:00:51.040 Don't send them pictures of your nose hair.

00:00:52.140 Your wife is supposed to help you on that. 1.00

00:00:54.320 So she's just supposed to say,

00:00:56.360 you've got gross hair in your nose and you've got to get it cut.

00:00:59.340 Anyway, Keeps, just go to K-E-E-P-S dot com slash save.

00:01:03.380 You'll save 50% on your first order of Keeps hair loss treatments.

00:01:07.660 Really simple.

00:01:08.500 You don't have to leave the comfort of your own.

00:01:11.820 That's right, hermit. 0.90

00:01:13.580 Keeps, K-E-E-P-S dot com. 1.00

00:01:17.420 Go there now and save 50%.

00:01:19.360 Make sure you use the Keeps dot com slash save URL.

00:01:23.980 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:49.800 You know, I have this little theory that when people are at Davos, you know, flying in the corporate chair and just skiing at night, partying away,

00:02:12.820 and then talking about the little people and how we can help when they're so busy and they are meeting with world leaders and the partner of Klaus Schwab.

00:02:24.920 He is the guy who runs the World Economic Forum.

00:02:28.260 When they are in their big week meeting with prime ministers, heads of corporations, leaders of state,

00:02:35.060 when they take their time to do a thread directly at me because of something I said yesterday on the program,

00:02:44.540 huh, I must be on to something.

00:02:50.200 Why would you take time from all of the pate there at Davos to respond to a guy on the radio?

00:02:59.300 Hmm.

00:03:00.500 I'm going to give you the response.

00:03:01.800 I'm going to tell you what I said.

00:03:03.340 Give the response.

00:03:04.020 Then I'm going to use their definitions of this new capitalism that we're all going to love.

00:03:11.640 And you tell me if, using their own words, this is something we're all going to love.

00:03:19.260 Yes.

00:03:21.040 Klaus.

00:03:22.580 Klaus.

00:03:23.800 And Peter.

00:03:25.540 I'm going to respond to you.

00:03:28.060 As I apparently now know, you're listening.

00:03:30.500 The truth behind the Great Reset in 60 seconds.

00:03:38.600 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:40.980 So Janice lives in Texas. 0.97

00:03:43.000 She's been a substitute teacher, you know, her whole life.

00:03:46.580 She has to climb stairs every day.

00:03:48.620 And she said that there were times I just couldn't do it anymore.

00:03:53.720 I had to refuse to go to class.

00:03:55.720 Well, let me tell you something, Janice.

00:03:58.020 I know you live in Texas, so it's not the same, but you can refuse. 0.99

00:04:01.620 If you live in California or, you know, or Illinois, you could refuse to go to class because it's so unsafe because of COVID there.

00:04:10.020 Anyway, she actually wanted to go to class.

00:04:13.300 She developed pain in her hips, her knees, her back, just got worse and worse every day.

00:04:17.520 She heard me talking about relief factor.

00:04:19.700 She was skeptical at first, but eventually she was like, I got nothing to lose.

00:04:22.900 Within the first three weeks, she tells us, she found that not only was she able to climb the steps pain-free, but she was bounding up them.

00:04:31.020 She said relief factor made her feel young again, and she got out of pain.

00:04:35.640 She got her life back.

00:04:37.480 Janice, I'm sorry that you're now bounding up the stairs because I don't, I mean, take the elevator.

00:04:44.260 You know what I mean?

00:04:44.820 I wish I had the excuse.

00:04:46.060 But you got your life back.

00:04:49.020 Congratulations, and thank you so much for just trying it.

00:04:52.260 That's what you have to do to get out of pain.

00:04:55.080 I know you've tried a million things.

00:04:56.740 Just try it for three weeks.

00:04:58.540 70% of the people who try it for three weeks go on to order more because it works for them.

00:05:03.480 Relieffactor.com.

00:05:04.840 800-583-84.

00:05:06.860 800-583-84.

00:05:08.880 It's relieffactor.com.

00:05:11.380 And then they have shareholder capitalism, which does not work.

00:05:21.140 And so we must have stakeholder capitalism.

00:05:25.060 Oh, this is great.

00:05:27.340 Now, they've released a little chart yesterday because they say what I'm saying is completely wrong.

00:05:35.820 And what I'm saying is this isn't oligarchy.

00:05:40.460 That's all this is.

00:05:41.200 This is for the oligarchs.

00:05:42.940 You are going to be run by the people.

00:05:46.740 Well, well, not by the people's representatives.

00:05:50.040 I mean, we have a house of representatives, right, Stu?

00:05:53.760 Don't we?

00:05:54.220 Right, right, right.

00:05:55.140 Right.

00:05:55.360 Representing our needs.

00:05:56.440 Representing our needs.

00:05:57.560 They don't have freezer full of ice cream in freezers that most people can't afford.

00:06:01.800 I mean, you know what I'm saying?

00:06:03.200 And multiple freezers in the same kitchen.

00:06:05.400 Right.

00:06:05.660 They are just like you, and they represent you.

00:06:10.080 OK, so it would never happen in America.

00:06:13.780 Where the people who get power become suddenly very, very rich and even more powerful.

00:06:20.420 And then they start making new laws and dismissing laws for their friends, for the businesses that are helping them.

00:06:29.200 Like, for instance, we would never have social media here going around the Constitution and doing things that constitutionally the government should say, hey, hold on.

00:06:39.040 You can't limit speech.

00:06:40.860 You can't just deperson people.

00:06:42.980 You'd think those representatives, well, I know in our country, those representatives would represent the people, right?

00:06:49.520 I'm sure they would.

00:06:50.360 OK.

00:06:50.820 So there are types of capitalism.

00:06:52.940 OK.

00:06:53.220 This is from the World Economic Forum.

00:06:56.380 Types of capitalism.

00:06:58.080 State capitalism.

00:06:59.460 That's where the government is the key stakeholder.

00:07:03.020 Government steers the economy and can intervene where necessary.

00:07:06.760 It's China's model, right? 0.98

00:07:08.220 Russia's model, in theory.

00:07:09.580 Yeah.

00:07:10.020 Kind of.

00:07:10.600 Yeah.

00:07:10.880 State capitalism.

00:07:12.480 Business interests are subsidiary to state interests.

00:07:16.120 OK.

00:07:16.360 So if the state says we're going to do something, the businesses have to do it.

00:07:20.960 That's state capitalism.

00:07:22.620 Now, what we have is shareholder capitalism, where the key stakeholders are the company shareholders.

00:07:29.680 You buy into the company.

00:07:31.160 The social responsibility of that business is just to increase its profits.

00:07:36.760 Short-term profit maximization is the highest good.

00:07:42.080 And who really touted this?

00:07:45.020 Milton Friedman.

00:07:46.520 Oh, jeez.

00:07:47.680 I hate him.

00:07:48.380 Now, here's the new one.

00:07:50.520 Unlike anything else that I've just read.

00:07:53.140 This is completely new.

00:07:55.580 Stakeholder capitalism.

00:07:57.900 Who are the key stakeholders?

00:08:00.380 All stakeholders matter equally.

00:08:04.260 Wow.

00:08:04.680 That's really good.

00:08:05.520 That sounds great.

00:08:06.020 I love equality.

00:08:07.260 OK.

00:08:07.820 So everybody matters.

00:08:09.600 All right.

00:08:10.460 Key characteristic.

00:08:12.520 Society's goal is to increase the well-being of people and the planet.

00:08:18.280 So the implication for the companies?

00:08:22.040 Focus on long-term value creation and ESG measures.

00:08:27.560 Oh, wow.

00:08:28.500 This sounds really great.

00:08:30.720 I like that.

00:08:31.920 I like that.

00:08:32.600 All stakeholders matter equally.

00:08:36.120 OK.

00:08:36.640 So now let's get into who defines stakeholders.

00:08:42.740 Yesterday, I said, this is the governments of the world coming together and working with big businesses.

00:08:49.480 The governments get power.

00:08:50.980 The big businesses, they get money.

00:08:53.240 And you lose.

00:08:54.240 And you lose.

00:08:57.440 Peter Vanham.

00:09:00.360 Peter Vanham.

00:09:02.480 Hi, it's me, Peter Vanham from the World Economic Forum.

00:09:06.500 Here's my friend, Klaus Schwab.

00:09:10.300 And I'm Peter.

00:09:11.380 Wait, wait, wait.

00:09:12.200 What accent is this exactly?

00:09:14.100 What could you describe?

00:09:15.300 I don't.

00:09:15.720 I don't know.

00:09:16.260 Exactly.

00:09:17.160 Just making it up as I go.

00:09:19.300 Peter Schwab.

00:09:20.880 And Peter, wait, no.

00:09:22.020 Peter Vanham.

00:09:23.020 So, I don't know.

00:09:28.840 I'm sorry, Peter.

00:09:29.760 You're making me like him more.

00:09:30.720 I don't think I'm supposed to like this guy.

00:09:32.740 And you're making me like him with his accent. 0.98

00:09:35.180 And over here, we have beautiful paintings.

00:09:38.700 He seems delightful.

00:09:39.900 He does, doesn't he?

00:09:40.980 Have some Venus all wrapped up in little blankets.

00:09:44.080 So, Peter tweeted.

00:09:49.860 Now, he's the co-author of Stakeholder Capitalism, a global economy that works for progress, people, and planet.

00:09:58.740 Klaus Schwab.

00:10:00.120 And Peter Vanham.

00:10:03.220 So, he writes, we address the false notion that any global elites, quote, the corporations and world leaders,

00:10:13.080 Glenn Beck talks about, should rule this system.

00:10:17.700 Instead, we plead for subsidiary, meaning that decisions are made at the most granular level.

00:10:25.760 Local stakeholders should decide.

00:10:29.020 Oh, that's why my mayor of my little town is in Davos.

00:10:34.220 Wait, Glenn, there's no mayor of little towns in Davos.

00:10:37.720 I was trying to get a hold of the city council just the other day.

00:10:40.920 And they were all like, we're at Davos, working on stakeholder capitalism.

00:10:46.480 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:47.500 Okay.

00:10:47.840 So, this is, because it's so local, it's going to take power away from centralized government?

00:10:52.300 Right.

00:10:52.800 All of the prime ministers and all the big corporations are there.

00:10:56.120 And my city council member, they are lecturing them right now.

00:10:59.880 Really?

00:11:00.480 On the ski slopes.

00:11:01.020 Yeah.

00:11:01.360 Wow.

00:11:01.960 With the little leaners in the blankets.

00:11:04.760 I don't know who this is, but I love this guy.

00:11:09.140 Peter says, this is not propaganda, as Glenn Beck asserts.

00:11:14.060 So, this guy is, this guy's at the World Economic Forum in Davos with the, with the wieners in the, in the blankets.

00:11:24.320 And he's texting this to me.

00:11:26.720 Okay.

00:11:27.660 This is not propaganda, as Glenn Beck asserts.

00:11:31.140 Subsidiary and stakeholder capitalism are approximated in Western European countries like Scandinavia, Benelux.

00:11:40.580 I don't have Benelux.

00:11:41.660 I've never even heard of Benelux.

00:11:43.860 And Germany.

00:11:45.480 Oh.

00:11:47.000 Business and governments consult with one another on wages and social security, etc.

00:11:52.600 And governments, now listen to this, this is how they get to you.

00:11:58.020 Because you're a stakeholder in this.

00:11:59.920 You're a stakeholder.

00:12:01.260 And governments, made up of representatives of the people, regulate the markets, in part to avoid the market concentration and formation of any law, unlawful ogalopoly.

00:12:14.240 And by the way, Glenn, just to reiterate how local this is.

00:12:18.160 Yeah.

00:12:18.380 Uh, Benelux is the combination of three nations, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

00:12:24.880 Oh, okay.

00:12:25.360 But it's so local.

00:12:26.860 It cares so much about the local, uh, control here.

00:12:30.520 They've only just, you know, brought those three nations and just count them as one thing.

00:12:33.840 Well, I bet that people, I bet that was driven by the people.

00:12:36.640 You know what I mean?

00:12:37.440 I'm sure it was.

00:12:38.020 Um, when populists on the right and left claim that they at least agree they dislike global elites, they miss a much larger fundamental disagreement that they have over the kind of economic and political system that's needed to avoid the oligarchy they both fear.

00:12:52.620 The system we propose is one of stakeholder capitalism.

00:12:57.600 It's capitalism as it recognized the benefits of private enterprise competition and market forces.

00:13:04.380 But it's a model of consultation with the people, meaning the governments, because we're all represented.

00:13:13.940 Right?

00:13:14.200 Don't you feel like, don't you feel like our government listens and responds to you, the little people?

00:13:22.060 I know I do.

00:13:24.020 Um, and it's a model of consultation and I love this and this is really important.

00:13:28.500 It's a model of consultation with the people and the planet.

00:13:37.820 Hang on.

00:13:38.760 Quiet.

00:13:40.800 I'm consulting with the planet right now.

00:13:44.200 Shut up. 0.95

00:13:45.960 Really?

00:13:48.080 Oh, I mean, you're positive.

00:13:50.200 I don't want to make a mistake on this one.

00:13:52.340 All right.

00:13:53.040 Uh, Stu, the planet said you have to throw yourself into a volcano.

00:13:56.560 Really?

00:13:57.160 Yeah.

00:13:57.600 I would not be surprised.

00:13:58.880 I'm just, I'm just on, I'm just taking consultation and listening to the planet.

00:14:04.120 That's what I'm doing.

00:14:05.220 So, and I believe if I go to the representatives in Washington, I believe I could convince a lot of them

00:14:13.060 that you should throw yourself into a volcano if you're tied to me.

00:14:16.980 Yes.

00:14:17.340 If you're tied directly to me.

00:14:18.680 So, Peter, thank you so much, darling, for writing in.

00:14:23.760 That's wonderful.

00:14:25.240 But we don't like it.

00:14:27.140 We don't like it.

00:14:28.540 It's, I don't know.

00:14:30.480 I like my mayor, you know, and maybe the local boss of the local restaurant.

00:14:35.980 But I'm just saying, although your winners in a blanket are wonderful.

00:14:42.900 Let me go over.

00:14:44.540 You can't possibly believe that we should try, let's say, kind of an experiment of people governing themselves.

00:14:52.900 You wouldn't think that would be appropriate, that people should make decisions based on their own self-interest.

00:14:58.460 No, they don't know.

00:14:59.020 They're not smart enough.

00:15:00.260 They're not smart enough.

00:15:01.080 What we need are these world leaders, and quite honestly, yesterday, I'm going to give you this quote,

00:15:09.000 yesterday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, they said that, let me see here, the, in fact, I have the audio.

00:15:20.440 Instead of reading it, let me give you the audio.

00:15:22.980 It is Beninoff.

00:15:25.300 Yes, Mark Beninoff, CEO of, I don't know, people that do stuff for you, .com.

00:15:33.380 Here's what he, here's what he said at Davos yesterday.

00:15:36.580 CEOs around the world need to realize they must manage for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

00:15:43.260 And there has been a mantra for too long that the business of business is business, but today, the business about business is improving the state of the world.

00:15:53.180 And this is more important than ever.

00:15:55.240 We realize that.

00:15:56.280 And so thank you, Klaus, for that.

00:15:58.140 And we don't have to look any farther to that mantra than 2020 itself, the year of the pandemic.

00:16:04.040 In the pandemic, it was CEOs in many, many cases all over the world who were the heroes.

00:16:10.420 They're the ones who stepped forward with their financial resources, their corporate resources, their employees, their factories, and pivoted rapidly.

00:16:18.920 Yes.

00:16:19.200 Not for profit.

00:16:20.200 Right.

00:16:20.720 But to save the world.

00:16:21.940 Right.

00:16:22.820 That is so, that is so true.

00:16:24.440 Finally, somebody saying it.

00:16:25.940 The CEOs are the heroes.

00:16:28.820 Amen.

00:16:30.240 Amen to that.

00:16:32.000 Now, the secretary general of the OECD said, we don't want to return to normal.

00:16:38.160 I mean, don't you feel that way?

00:16:39.320 We don't want to return to normal.

00:16:41.400 We don't want COVID to end and for us to return to some form of status quo because the status quo caused this, brought us here to our knees.

00:16:49.720 Those wishing to return to normal must inherently wish for disease and destruction to return and must secretly wish for death in the future.

00:17:00.340 Oh, man.

00:17:01.280 Prime Minister of Spain said, let's not delude ourselves.

00:17:04.920 There can be no social justice without tax justice.

00:17:09.360 Now, there's a guy speaking for all of us, huh?

00:17:12.300 It's time to go one step further.

00:17:15.080 It's not enough to distribute income more fairly through taxation, but take serious steps to ensure equal distribution of wealth to all people, all races, and all nations.

00:17:29.100 Prime Minister of Spain, man.

00:17:32.980 Man, let me tell you something.

00:18:59.300 Station ID.

00:19:11.040 You know, Eisenhower.

00:19:14.840 President Eisenhower.

00:19:16.080 General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

00:19:17.500 The guy, you know, that really kind of won the war for us in World War II.

00:19:21.800 In his farewell address, people miss the point.

00:19:27.600 And this is something that you know.

00:19:29.220 You know one line from it.

00:19:31.680 You know this line about the military industrial complex.

00:19:38.100 And a military industrial complex will roll the world.

00:19:41.580 We've all heard that over and over again.

00:19:45.660 He is speaking with real foresight.

00:19:49.120 He had learned about the power of large corporations and discovered that public and private power tend to prioritize their own interest and well-being over ours.

00:19:59.860 Right now, in 2021, America needs to hear his words again.

00:20:07.680 We finally have an answer to the question, what happens when corporations are in league with government programs?

00:20:12.140 We know now the bad news is our nation is turning into an oligarchy exactly like Eisenhower warned.

00:20:21.200 Everybody remembers his comments about the military industrial complex.

00:20:24.600 But he also warned us about something else.

00:20:28.420 Dangerous merging of industry and government and education.

00:20:35.060 Listen.

00:20:35.660 Into and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial military posture has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

00:20:45.560 In this revolution, research has become central.

00:20:51.100 It also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly.

00:20:56.280 A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of the federal government.

00:21:03.140 Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields.

00:21:15.560 In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery,

00:21:26.080 has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research.

00:21:30.340 Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.

00:21:40.280 You hear that?

00:21:41.240 They're not curious about things.

00:21:44.580 They just follow the money.

00:21:47.380 Technological revolution resulted in its own family tree of industrial complexes.

00:21:52.940 Do I have enough time here to play the education industrial complex?

00:21:57.020 Listen.

00:21:57.200 The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever-present and is gravely to be regarded.

00:22:09.900 Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should,

00:22:15.040 we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.

00:22:28.380 Hmm.

00:22:29.260 Hmm.

00:22:29.880 I can't imagine that happening.

00:22:31.360 This is him in the 1950s warning exactly against something like the Great Reset.

00:22:41.460 I want you to do your own homework.

00:22:43.560 Their own words.

00:22:44.840 Spell it out.

00:22:46.000 You know, it's interesting how they just keep referring to stakeholders as you.

00:22:51.220 But what you need to understand, you are only representative, represented by the government.

00:22:57.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:00.820 All right.

00:24:30.540 Two weeks ago on TV, we talked about government and private industry coming together in the Biden administration.

00:24:36.860 They're just getting started.

00:24:39.720 Every time you open a closet at the Biden White House, there's another special interest skeleton that tumbles out.

00:24:45.620 Tonight, we're going to take a look at the major stakeholders who have their tentacles all over this White House.

00:24:51.460 The new Biden administration already showing America the natural end result that comes from decades of being dominated by special interest groups.

00:25:01.060 Eventually, you get government that at the top is so beholden to these groups, you can call them stakeholders.

00:25:08.820 The stakeholders have vested interest in the actions and policies of the government, financial interest, ideological interest, often both.

00:25:17.240 These stakeholders always take priority over you and me.

00:25:21.800 Tonight, I'll show you the stakeholders in this new stakeholder capitalism and the Biden administration.

00:25:28.180 What they want, who they're working with inside the Biden administration, 9 p.m.

00:25:33.460 Eastern on BlazeTV.com and BlazeTV YouTube.

00:25:39.300 9 p.m.

00:25:40.180 Eastern BlazeTV.com or BlazeTV YouTube.

00:25:44.880 We have Ken Paxton with us.

00:25:47.240 He is the 51st Attorney General of Texas.

00:25:51.960 He has fought and won many of the cases against Barack Obama's administration, and they've just posted their first victory on the Biden administration, the first one to bring a lawsuit.

00:26:07.580 And within six days, Texas has halted Biden's illegal deportation freeze.

00:26:13.800 Joining us now is Ken Paxton.

00:26:15.640 Hi, Ken.

00:26:16.240 How are you?

00:26:17.080 I'm doing well.

00:26:18.080 Good morning.

00:26:18.480 It's been a fast start, hasn't it?

00:26:20.880 It is breathtaking how quickly things are changing.

00:26:24.900 And quite honestly, we were talking about it in the break, a little frightening.

00:26:29.500 I agree.

00:26:30.220 It is frightening.

00:26:31.080 I don't think it's ever happened this fast.

00:26:34.020 I mean, I think Biden is off to the fastest start of any president in just issuing executive orders and changing sort of what we had going.

00:26:42.860 Yeah, he's had a record of, I think, 38, which just smashes all the other records of executive orders.

00:26:52.320 He's signing more today.

00:26:53.900 This one, they are going to preserve.

00:26:57.480 I don't know what that means exactly.

00:26:59.300 I fear I do.

00:27:00.420 I've read Agenda 2030.

00:27:02.280 Preserve 30% of all federal land by 2030.

00:27:09.180 That's not good.

00:27:10.040 I don't know exactly what that means, but that doesn't sound good.

00:27:12.640 Yeah, it doesn't sound good.

00:27:13.720 First, let's talk about the win that you had.

00:27:16.200 Tell me about the lawsuit and what it means.

00:27:20.840 So we had an agreement that we signed with the Department of Homeland Security recently that said that if they were going to change major immigration policies, that we were going to be provided notice.

00:27:31.960 And so, obviously, the executive order that came out that ended all deportations and the invitation for people to cross the border didn't meet those requirements.

00:27:44.140 And so we filed a lawsuit on President Biden's third day.

00:27:48.100 And we challenged that executive order, not just based on that agreement, but also based on the fact that federal law requires him to do certain things that he has said now he will not do.

00:27:59.660 And so we argued that he violated federal law and his constitutional duty to enforce the law that now exists.

00:28:07.020 And so what did the judge say?

00:28:08.240 So the judge basically gave us – we were asking for a preliminary injunction, a temporary injunction first.

00:28:15.480 We're going to seek a permanent injunction next. 0.67

00:28:17.600 And we did that because we had to show that there was harm to the state of Texas if this went forward while we were litigating the merits of the case.

00:28:25.340 So we haven't won the merits of the case.

00:28:27.360 We've merely made a good argument showing that we will suffer irreparable harm to the state if this goes forward.

00:28:34.200 And it wasn't hard for us to show that given that we already have a mass of people coming up from the southern border essentially have COVID that potentially have other communicable diseases that potentially are criminals and that will cost the state of Texas billions of dollars.

00:28:50.060 And so that harm was not hard to show in my opinion.

00:28:52.800 So how are you going to argue for permanent, especially with the way this administration is moving where social justice outweighs everything?

00:29:08.100 Well, it's going to be pretty much the same argument, just to say we are going to suffer damage.

00:29:15.420 We need time to have this question answered as to whether the president is violating federal law by stopping the implementation of what is federal law.

00:29:27.120 Can he do that?

00:29:28.180 And the argument that we need time or we will be harmed, still it's the exact same argument, just that we need longer to decide the merits of the case.

00:29:38.060 But wait, what I'm saying is if you're arguing and, you know, Biden, this is all changing now.

00:29:46.860 We're not talking about rule of law anymore.

00:29:48.900 We're talking about social justice outweighing absolutely everything.

00:29:53.260 If they if they win and he can just say we're not going to do any of that, a isn't that what they've already done with with, you know, we're not going to enforce, you know, busts on pot.

00:30:10.060 So haven't they already done that?

00:30:11.660 And if they do codify this in the courts, then doesn't this make him in some ways a dictator to where he could just administratively do whatever the president can, not just Biden, but any president could just do whatever they want.

00:30:27.180 And it never has to go through legislation.

00:30:29.700 No, you've you've hit the nail on the head.

00:30:32.200 And it means literally that Congress becomes almost irrelevant.

00:30:36.540 The courts become not so relevant.

00:30:38.780 And the states that are supposed to have all these powers reserved to them that are not specifically granted to the federal government also lose their power.

00:30:46.620 It does become a real focus on one person having all of the power, which clearly was not what our framers intended.

00:30:54.360 So, Ken, I've talked to other attorney generals around the country, and they are as just as concerned as I am.

00:31:05.900 And I'm wondering, I know many of them are all working together to try to stop this onslaught.

00:31:12.140 But is there is there any conversation about a a sanctuary state of of not secession or anything like that, but just saying this state will not violate the Bill of Rights and the Constitution?

00:31:30.000 And if you try to do these things that are unconstitutional, this is a safe haven, a sanctuary state for rights.

00:31:40.060 You know, it's interesting that conversation has not come up among the AGs specifically.

00:31:45.740 But I was at a conference with technology leaders around the country, and most of them were actually pointing to that by saying they were either considering or they were on their way or they had already moved to Texas or Florida because they felt like those were states that they could go and be safe.

00:32:03.240 And that the risk in the states that they're in is becoming untenable for them, and they're trying to find a safe haven where their rights will be respected, and they will have continuing opportunities to work.

00:32:16.660 I mean, how do we do that?

00:32:18.900 They are already talking about, you know, if you're depersoned, that you won't, what was it?

00:32:25.220 The head of MasterCard said yesterday, we don't have to do business with just anybody, meaning if we don't, if we don't like the business that they're in, we can just say we're not doing business with them anymore.

00:32:38.480 And this is a growing trend.

00:32:40.440 And when it comes to businesses like mine or for anybody that is unpopular, this is extraordinarily dangerous.

00:32:49.740 Are the states, will Texas stand behind the universal God-given rights that we have always stood with?

00:33:00.260 We will in my office.

00:33:02.600 You know, I'm part of, you know, I'm part of the entire state.

00:33:05.560 I'm not the entire state, but we will at my office.

00:33:07.540 That's why we are now investigating the five companies that were related to the parlor deplatforming because we want to understand how are they doing this?

00:33:17.360 How do they have the authority to just deplatform a whole company because they disagree with their views or they disagree with the people that they allow to speak?

00:33:24.960 Are you and the governor having conversations at all about critical race theory to make sure that's not being taught in our schools?

00:33:35.540 Well, I haven't had those conversations.

00:33:38.000 That's not an area that I can do much about as attorney general unless there's some specific violation of law.

00:33:45.400 My job is to enforce whatever laws we have.

00:33:47.840 So I always have to look for my way of getting into court.

00:33:51.380 Well, we can't teach discrimination in schools, can we?

00:33:56.080 No.

00:33:57.180 But that would be probably if they were teaching discrimination in schools, that would be probably a lawsuit by an aggrieved party, a student, a parent who said, hey, you can't do this in this school.

00:34:14.220 And then it becomes under your purview.

00:34:17.140 Well, so then if the school asked me to represent them and I think they're wrong, I say, no, I'm not representing you.

00:34:23.620 This is a legitimate lawsuit and you need to be accountable for doing the right thing.

00:34:27.940 Okay.

00:34:28.780 Do you have any advice for what the average person should be doing right now in their state?

00:34:34.120 Absolutely.

00:34:34.840 I think they should be speaking out.

00:34:36.360 I think the more voices that are speaking out, because what is going to happen, my concern is, you know, they go after the president and people don't say anything.

00:34:44.460 If we keep quiet right now, if people are afraid to speak, which I see some of this, I see some of this with, you know, some of my fellow AGs.

00:34:52.220 I see this in a lot of circles.

00:34:54.200 People are afraid that if they speak out, they'll be deplatformed or they'll be canceled.

00:34:59.020 So if we don't all speak out, if we don't address these election issues in states where there was, you know, they weren't following their own laws, we have to address that now or it will be too late.

00:35:12.080 They will come and deplatform all of us.

00:35:14.440 And if you think you're going to hide from that, you're not going to hide from it.

00:35:17.960 They may get to somebody else first, but unless we're all working together, it's going to be a problem.

00:35:23.540 Ken, thank you very much.

00:35:26.720 Thank you for, thanks for staying on top of things and thank the governor for us as well.

00:35:31.960 We are counting on our state reps and our governor and you to stand and fight the good fight against this onslaught that is coming our way quickly.

00:35:43.640 I'll say this, Glenn, if Texas doesn't fight, if we are in the middle of this fight, I don't think we have much hope.

00:35:51.540 I think it's Texas has to be in the fight.

00:35:54.420 Texas has got this.

00:35:55.880 I mean, I've talked to sheriffs and they've said, if I have to deputize every single citizen in my county so they have the right to carry a gun, we're not backing.

00:36:06.340 We're not backing down.

00:36:07.860 It's got Texas must.

00:36:10.560 I mean, it's really sad.

00:36:11.720 I talked to Christy Noman.

00:36:12.740 I'm like, you know, I'm a little embarrassed.

00:36:14.640 Texas should be knocking you into the dust right now.

00:36:19.000 We need to be Texas.

00:36:20.660 We need to stand and be very clear and be a leader for freedom.

00:36:27.360 Supposed to be the alibi.

00:36:29.060 Thank you very much.

00:36:30.140 Absolutely.

00:36:30.860 Appreciate it.

00:36:31.660 Ken Paxton, attorney general of Texas.

00:36:34.040 If you're a cyber criminal, you're going to have to get up pretty early in the morning if you want to pull a fast one on.

00:36:41.580 You know, on some of us, on some of us, I don't want to challenge anyone.

00:36:47.960 But every time I sit down on my my computer, I've got a I've got rubber gloves on.

00:36:53.540 I wear a mask.

00:36:54.920 I wash with antibacterial.

00:36:56.740 So I'm not getting one of those viruses.

00:36:58.320 I'm not going to do it.

00:36:59.860 And now you're really healthy.

00:37:01.600 Yeah.

00:37:01.920 I don't want to, you know, I don't I don't want to say it out loud, but I might as well get off my digital on you bums. 0.58

00:38:22.580 I mean, like, yeah, crazy amounts.

00:38:25.420 GameStop, of course, a brick and mortar, largely mall based physical video game retailer.

00:38:33.580 Not exactly the best business to be in in 2020 and 2021.

00:38:38.420 It's been sitting at about five bucks a share throughout entire 20 of 2020.

00:38:43.380 And there's a there's a Reddit message board called Wall Street Bets been around for a long time.

00:38:48.500 They take really risky bets and they talk about them.

00:38:50.660 You know, it's been around for a while.

00:38:51.580 And there's been lots of really interesting stories that have developed out of this message board over the years.

00:38:55.700 This one, they decided one guy decided to invest fifty thousand dollars because he saw something interesting in the GameStop trading world, which was everyone predictably was shorting GameStop stock.

00:39:11.440 They all thought it was going to go to zero, which is seemingly where it should have be should be going probably at this point.

00:39:17.140 So these billion dollar hedge funds, multibillion dollar hedge funds came in and they were able to identify that there was not a lot of shares available, that they had actually shorted more shares than were available in the entire stock.

00:39:30.440 So if they could get if they could get enough people to just start buying this stock, it would go up and it would it would trip a bunch of different trip wires that make people buy the stock back to cover their positions.

00:39:42.880 So they would buy the stock back.

00:39:45.140 Then it would just keep going up and up and up and up and up.

00:39:47.620 And it's what's called a short squeeze.

00:39:49.880 But it is it's a little bit complicated to go through the details of it, but it doesn't really matter.

00:39:54.300 The bottom line is this.

00:39:55.700 They were able to push this stock from five dollars to this morning.

00:39:59.120 It hit three hundred and fifty dollars a share.

00:40:01.680 That is crazy.

00:40:02.540 In a matter.

00:40:03.500 I mean, really, it's all happened within the last week or two.

00:40:05.940 So if you're GameStop, I mean, are you freaking out?

00:40:09.300 Because it's going to it'll collapse once everybody's made their money.

00:40:12.240 It shouldn't it's not valued.

00:40:14.700 Yeah.

00:40:15.000 The big hedge funds they were targeting finally gave up and said, all right, we're pulling all of our money out.

00:40:20.260 I mean, they basically beat this hedge fund.

00:40:22.440 Now, all this sounds very fun and it is really fun in some ways.

00:40:26.920 Like these guys basically, you know, David taking down Goliath in some ways.

00:40:30.640 And they're looking they like it because they don't like some of these billionaires.

00:40:33.420 They don't like some of these hedge funds, what they do to companies.

00:40:35.240 There's a there's a sort of almost a left wing anti-capitalist message in here as well.

00:40:41.700 The other side of this, though, is that when things like this happen to a lot of billionaires and a lot of people, by the way, also, you know, teachers unions and pension funds and all the things that are wrapped up in these hedge funds when they don't no longer have a retirement.

00:40:57.200 The government usually cracks down on such things.

00:41:00.660 And you could see this going the opposite way really fastly from happy happiness to sadness.

00:41:06.020 We'll see what happens.

00:41:07.100 But it's now down from 350 to 270.

00:41:10.460 So it's already started to drop again.

00:41:13.080 It's going to be a fascinating thing to watch and has been so far.

00:41:16.000 How'd you like to be an employee at GameStop?

00:42:59.180 And the report that came out yesterday on CNBC that, yes, one mask is good.

00:43:07.860 Two masks are better.

00:43:10.460 But three masks may be the secret number.

00:43:14.260 Well, I want to tell you a little story.

00:43:16.960 It's called the $15 minimum wage.

00:43:19.500 And I'm going to show you.

00:43:30.360 Do you hear about Mike Lindell?

00:43:31.820 Permanently banned now on Twitter.

00:43:34.260 Permanently banned on Twitter.

00:43:35.560 Unbelievable.

00:43:36.760 I mean, this is insane.

00:43:39.820 You know, they already went after his business when he was supporting the president.

00:43:44.260 You know, the, what is it?

00:43:46.820 The Better Business Bureau.

00:43:47.740 And I know the story.

00:43:48.940 I know all the details of what happened there.

00:43:51.220 Uh, and it was a political hatchet job.

00:43:56.480 Mike just does not seem to care, though.

00:43:58.380 I mean, he's out.

00:43:59.780 He just keeps, he keeps talking.

00:44:01.380 Doesn't, doesn't mind telling you exactly what he thinks.

00:44:03.540 And he doesn't care how much you threaten his business.

00:44:05.320 And look, if you don't, if you don't like what he says, don't, don't listen.

00:44:08.720 If you don't like what he says, don't buy his pillow.

00:44:11.480 You know, I happen to actually like his pillow.

00:44:14.280 And if I don't like what he says, I still sleep well.

00:44:16.980 If I do like what he says, and I like his pillow, I might buy the sheets.

00:44:22.000 I might buy the towel sets, too.

00:44:24.260 Uh, I might support somebody who is being depersoned right now.

00:45:33.140 Do it now, MyPillow.com.

00:45:37.780 It's science, man.

00:45:46.220 It's science, okay?

00:45:47.320 I'm a doctor.

00:45:49.080 Uh, and, uh, we want to get into some heavy-duty science.

00:45:52.000 Let me start with CNBC's report yesterday on masks.

00:45:56.000 The experts keep telling us that wearing masks is really about protecting ourselves, protecting

00:46:02.180 others from ourselves in the event that we are contagious.

00:46:04.980 But, you know, if other people aren't wearing their masks or they're wearing them improperly,

00:46:09.260 we need to protect ourselves.

00:46:11.060 So experts say you can double up with a tight-weave fabric mask for added protection.

00:46:17.200 Now, Virginia Tech researchers found that doubling up these cloth masks increases the efficacy

00:46:23.100 from 50 to 75%.

00:46:25.580 A three-layer mask could block up to 90% of the particles.

00:46:29.980 Wow.

00:46:30.360 So you get three masks, you're up to 90.

00:46:33.940 Now, you could just buy the N95, which filters out 95% of all dangerous particles.

00:46:43.440 But, and when those were tough to get at one point, but now you can really go into any Home

00:46:47.500 Depot and pick them up.

00:46:49.000 Yeah, and the N95, that would stop you from having to wear three masks. 0.79

00:46:53.060 Didn't stop Mitt Romney, who's always a leader.

00:46:56.140 He's always a leader.

00:46:57.460 And I just, I just, uh, he's got a sweet spirit.

00:47:01.040 I just love him to death.

00:47:02.540 And, uh, he was on the floor of the Senate and he was wearing two masks yesterday.

00:47:09.200 And I thought, you know, Mitt, I know you know, I know you know about these things.

00:47:13.880 You may not be a doctor like I am, but I know you know these things.

00:47:16.640 I mean, you don't just higgledy, piggledy, tie your dog to the roof of your car without

00:47:20.280 having some idea of science.

00:47:22.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:47:23.300 Uh, and so, um, uh, I, I, I say this with all humility to that sweet, sweet, dear man,

00:47:30.220 uh, Mitt Romney, I have 25 masks.

00:47:34.040 Now, yesterday we got it up to 10, but your ears start to, uh, rip off your head.

00:47:41.700 There's a structural collapse around 10 to 12 masks where your ears do not.

00:47:46.640 Your ears don't actually have any bones.

00:47:49.280 Surprisingly, most people, I'm a doctor, so I knew this, but, uh, most people don't know

00:47:53.560 your ears don't have actual bones in them.

00:47:56.260 So there's no real structure there.

00:47:58.780 No.

00:47:58.960 And so they'll just rip right off your face.

00:48:01.680 If you put, I had 11, but I think that as a doctor, I would not recommend more than 11

00:48:07.960 masks tied to your ears.

00:48:09.480 However, we did go and we found these little mask thingies that you can put on the mask

00:48:15.980 that, uh, it's like string and then you can adjust it on the back of your head.

00:48:20.760 It's like the fat guy seatbelt extender on airplanes.

00:48:23.640 Exactly right.

00:48:24.620 Not that I know, not that I have to use those.

00:48:26.480 Not that I've ever sat next to my wife and she said, why aren't you buckling up? 0.98

00:48:30.700 And I, you know, I don't have any experience.

00:48:34.680 Well, this is anyway.

00:48:35.520 Uh, so, uh, so now 25 masks, this, this will filter out 700 and well, let me just, now you

00:48:46.140 just put it up here.

00:48:47.160 Now my nose hurts a little bit from yesterday cause it kind of crushes your nose when you

00:48:52.460 really tighten it up.

00:48:53.580 So now these are 25 masks will filter out 780% of all particles, 780%, 780%.

00:49:06.440 Add another 10, you're up to a thousand percent.

00:49:09.360 So if we had another 10, uh, we, you, if you had COVID now, this is speaking as a doctor

00:49:18.060 and I hate to get into science like this, but if you're, uh, if you do have COVID and

00:49:23.840 you're wearing a thousand masks, it actually sucks the COVID out of your body.

00:49:29.880 It sucks the COVID out of your body.

00:49:31.480 Yes.

00:49:31.720 And it, uh, and, and it, and, and, and you're cured.

00:49:35.000 Now I don't want to talk about cures cause this is just, well, I haven't run it by the

00:49:41.200 FDA yet.

00:49:42.120 No, no, no sign off by Fauci on that one yet.

00:49:44.980 All right.

00:49:45.380 Either.

00:49:45.920 But a thousand masks will really, now you're going to have a hard time cause it's going to

00:49:53.680 be like your, uh, I don't know, like Pinocchio.

00:49:58.080 Right.

00:49:58.620 You know, when his nose was really long.

00:50:01.000 Yeah.

00:50:01.140 It's a lot of masks.

00:50:01.900 You can't turn really easily cause you, you, you had a thousand masks on.

00:50:07.180 Right.

00:50:07.540 A thousand masks.

00:50:08.360 Uh, but this is just, uh, this is 25 masks and I feel comfortable.

00:50:13.540 Uh, I don't think that my life is being disrupted at all.

00:50:17.940 No, no.

00:50:19.480 I don't think it looks ridiculous.

00:50:21.300 I think people will see this and they'll go, that guy is safe.

00:50:24.020 There's a lot of pressure on the nose.

00:50:25.620 I mean, the nose is also, are there bones in the nose, doctor?

00:50:28.720 There are bones in the nose, but they're higher up, you know, they're up here and you're really

00:50:33.800 worried about the cartilage.

00:50:35.460 Yes.

00:50:35.900 Right here at the end.

00:50:36.760 Cause that really does hurt.

00:50:37.900 I think I have a nosebleed, but the good thing is the masks are completely absorbing all of

00:50:45.200 the board.

00:50:46.020 It's like a maxi pad for your nose.

00:50:48.040 Thank you.

00:50:48.600 Thank you.

00:50:49.160 Scientifically.

00:50:50.640 Yeah.

00:50:50.960 I was going to say, it sounds a little, it sounds a little gross coming from a non-doctor, 0.89

00:50:58.080 but as a doctor, I am telling you, uh, you know, there's nothing wrong with strapping

00:51:03.080 a couple of, uh, uh, feminine hygiene products to your face.

00:51:07.820 25 feminine hygiene products is like a hundred face masks. 1.00

00:51:14.560 What?

00:51:14.840 A hundred?

00:51:15.460 Yeah.

00:51:16.040 Did you say a hundred face masks?

00:51:17.480 A hundred face masks.

00:51:19.080 Uh, that's what that's like.

00:51:20.320 Now, my understanding is if you, you said a thousand face masks will suck the COVID out

00:51:25.360 of you.

00:51:25.780 Yes.

00:51:26.040 A thousand will.

00:51:27.140 Let's just, let me, I want to throw a theory by you.

00:51:29.160 I'm not a doctor.

00:51:30.460 Yes.

00:51:30.760 If you were to put on 5,000 face masks.

00:51:33.400 Yes.

00:51:33.700 Your whole family is safe.

00:51:35.700 Okay.

00:51:36.600 Now let me ask another question.

00:51:38.220 Okay.

00:51:38.660 All right.

00:51:39.020 If you were to put on 10,000 face masks, could you bring people back from the dead that died

00:51:44.160 of COVID like Pet Sematary?

00:51:45.900 Well, I don't, as a doctor.

00:51:47.780 Okay.

00:51:48.280 I don't have this peer reviewed yet.

00:51:50.660 You don't have it peer reviewed.

00:51:51.540 Okay.

00:51:51.760 So I'm just saying in the studies that I have done, if they are, if you're wearing 5,000

00:51:58.260 N95 masks.

00:51:59.940 Yes.

00:52:00.420 Okay.

00:52:01.380 You can't, you have to be extraordinarily careful when you're walking near graveyards.

00:52:08.260 Really?

00:52:09.020 Yes.

00:52:09.420 Because the people will just wake up and then you'll hear from under the ground, no, I'm

00:52:14.500 still alive and you're living hell. 0.87

00:52:16.680 And then it's really ugly because you don't know who's been killed because they, you know,

00:52:22.340 were supposed to die and, you know, they were a killer or something like that and they

00:52:27.300 were executed.

00:52:27.920 Or if they just died on COVID.

00:52:29.760 Because if you're wearing the N95, it saves everybody.

00:52:34.360 Is it possible this is how The Walking Dead started?

00:52:37.260 That documentary?

00:52:38.840 Where people were, there was a...

00:52:40.200 Well, can I tell you something right now?

00:52:42.460 The Walking Dead.

00:52:44.840 Yeah.

00:52:45.400 I mean, you know, when you see the...

00:52:47.440 Your scientific opinion is, yeah?

00:52:49.740 Yeah.

00:52:50.120 Okay.

00:52:51.520 Do you need me to break that down for you?

00:52:53.220 If you wouldn't mind.

00:52:54.220 Yeah.

00:52:54.600 Do you have a prescription you could write?

00:52:55.880 Yeah.

00:52:56.100 I think, you know, to break it down, yes.

00:52:59.320 I think so.

00:53:00.480 Yeah.

00:53:01.480 There's a bit of physical pain involved in this bit.

00:53:05.540 Again.

00:53:05.820 I mean, this science.

00:53:09.880 You know, I wear this in honor of that sweet, sweet, dear, dear, sweet-spirited man, Mitt

00:53:16.740 Romney, who I just think is a leader, who is a genius, and somebody that I really, really

00:53:26.160 respect.

00:53:27.360 Respect?

00:53:28.180 Respect.

00:53:28.840 Mm-hmm.

00:53:29.620 Can you understand that?

00:53:30.600 Respect.

00:53:31.220 It's a little hard to understand.

00:53:32.660 I'm just trying to...

00:53:33.060 Oh, I guess you can really understand what I was telling you about my respect to Mitt Romney.

00:53:38.080 Do you think that you are a hateful COVID denier that should be thrown off the internet

00:53:43.420 if you're only wearing three masks?

00:53:45.200 Well, I think definitely under 10.

00:53:48.860 Anything under 10?

00:53:49.900 Under 10, you should...

00:53:50.820 Well, under 10, thrown off a de-platform, you shouldn't be able to use a bank.

00:53:55.780 No banks.

00:53:56.640 Okay.

00:53:57.320 But if you're...

00:53:59.060 Let's say you're not wearing...

00:54:01.120 You're not wearing eight...

00:54:03.040 Mm-hmm.

00:54:03.960 Execution.

00:54:05.100 Exec...

00:54:05.540 I'm sorry?

00:54:06.660 Execution.

00:54:07.320 Okay, there you go.

00:54:07.420 But a different kind of execution.

00:54:08.960 I suggest that if you're wearing under eight masks, that you were sent to New York and

00:54:16.180 Andrew Cuomo can put you into one of the nursing homes.

00:54:19.540 Okay.

00:54:20.340 You just get free lodging at an Andrew Cuomo nursing home.

00:54:23.200 Yes, and the state will then kill you there. 0.99

00:54:26.040 Mm.

00:54:26.420 Slowly.

00:54:27.820 It's classy.

00:54:28.580 Yeah, thank you.

00:54:29.660 You're welcome.

00:54:30.180 Okay.

00:54:30.660 Enough for the science.

00:54:32.280 Ow. 0.99

00:54:33.020 Ow. 0.99

00:54:33.740 It really is.

00:54:34.380 It hurts your nose.

00:54:35.340 Oh.

00:54:36.300 Hurts.

00:54:37.440 But it's worth it.

00:54:38.400 If it just saves one child, isn't it worth it still?

00:54:41.880 Well, I think it's mostly worth it because both of us have already had COVID, so there

00:54:45.460 would be absolutely no improvement.

00:54:47.840 Not 90% improvement, 0% improvement, because we can't, you know, we're not going to get

00:54:52.260 it again.

00:54:53.460 Well, 1,000 has three zeros in it, so if you're wearing 1,000 masks, it's three times as better

00:55:00.520 as none.

00:55:01.160 Mm.

00:55:02.180 That's not how it works, doctor.

00:55:04.060 No, you don't understand.

00:55:05.500 No, it's true.

00:55:06.060 Let me take a real quick break and tell you about AMAC.

00:55:10.580 Knowing on who you can count on has always been a valuable commodity.

00:55:14.600 For instance, can I trust this 1,000 mask theory?

00:55:17.800 Yeah, you can.

00:55:19.420 Now, did you get it from a reliable source?

00:55:21.640 Sure, me.

00:55:23.040 But what about if I read it, you know, from some organization that does work in Washington?

00:55:29.520 Probably not as reliable, unless it's AMAC.

00:55:34.000 AMAC is an association for mature American citizens.

00:55:39.760 It's a seniors group that has now over 2 million members.

00:55:43.500 They give you everything that you need, all the discounts and everything else that you're

00:55:47.480 like, oh my gosh, we're going to go, I don't know, cross the country, and we're going to

00:55:53.120 need AAA, and we're going to need discounts on hotels, and, you know, whatever people that

00:56:01.100 are 50 plus.

00:56:02.040 I don't know what those people do, but whatever it is those people do, you'll get the discounts.

00:56:06.740 Shut up, Stu.

00:56:07.880 You'll get the discounts.

00:56:09.140 Now, the other thing is, they really work in Washington to represent you.

00:56:14.100 They represent faith, reason, courage, solvency, you know, for the national debt, sanctity of

00:56:21.980 life.

00:56:22.460 They have a full-time presence in Washington, and AMAC has been pushing back for years against

00:56:27.400 the radical left's socialist agenda.

00:56:29.900 I believe they started around the Obama health care time.

00:56:33.820 They are in it for the right reasons.

00:56:36.060 The benefits are great.

00:56:37.860 The cause is greater.

00:56:39.360 It's our freedom.

00:56:40.540 AMAC.

00:56:41.040 A-M-A-C dot U-S. 1.00

00:56:43.380 AMAC dot U-S slash Beck.

00:56:46.320 AMAC dot U-S slash Beck.

00:56:48.780 AMAC is better, better for you, and better for America.

00:56:51.660 You know, you want to see somebody who's been, I think, red-pilled, maybe?

00:57:08.000 I don't know if she would say it this way, but Tulsi Gabbard.

00:57:12.000 What is happening with Tulsi Gabbard?

00:57:13.840 I'm relatively certain she would not say it that way.

00:57:16.940 I mean, explain it another way.

00:57:19.700 I mean, have you seen what she's saying?

00:57:21.660 She issued a dire warning to the American people on Tuesday, expressing concern, quote,

00:57:27.780 that domestic entities, enemies of the United States in the national security community

00:57:33.360 and big tech industry are plotting to create a police state in America.

00:57:38.620 She said, the CIA director, John Brennan, and Adam Schiff, two leading proponents of expanding

00:57:48.100 national security powers, labeling them domestic enemies of the country.

00:57:52.700 Now, is that different than Adam Schiff, or is that, is Adam Schiff a new guy I need to

00:57:56.380 be aware of?

00:57:56.860 No, it's kind of an Adam Schiff, Adam Schiff-y.

00:58:00.260 Okay, you're just in between.

00:58:01.420 I want to remind people that, and it also, you know, if you, it's also, Adam, you take

00:58:10.180 the C out and the Fs and just move the T closer in and you'll say, the, you sure you don't need

00:58:17.360 to go further?

00:58:18.160 I think I, you explained it.

00:58:19.620 Because I'm, I can put it out on the chalkboard and really work it out for you if you'd like.

00:58:23.780 Surprisingly, no, you don't need to do that.

00:58:25.140 The mob who stormed the Capitol on January 6th to try to stop Congress from carrying out

00:58:29.500 its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country, Gabbard

00:58:34.860 said.

00:58:35.300 But let's be clear, John Brennan, the Adam Schiffs, and the oligarchs in big tech who are

00:58:41.700 trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state

00:58:46.280 with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies and much more powerful, therefore dangerous,

00:58:53.480 more dangerous than the mob that stormed the Capitol.

00:58:58.060 She doesn't, she doesn't have a prayer.

00:59:01.500 No.

00:59:02.160 She just doesn't have a prayer of, I mean, I'm surprised that the helicopters haven't picked

00:59:07.020 her up already to take her to a nice little summer camp. 0.98

00:59:10.120 Yeah, I mean, look, she has a lot of really far left-wing policies, but she's always been 1.00

00:59:14.800 very against that sort of Clinton establishment type.

00:59:19.600 Yeah, she loves America.

00:59:20.760 Yeah, there's, that's one thing you can say.

00:59:23.700 Oh, she's served, yeah.

00:59:23.800 Yeah, there's one thing you could say.

00:59:25.340 And that's why, you know, you can have disagreements with people, but when they, when they actually

00:59:30.720 love America, like, I couldn't take that from all of these Democrats during the, um, uh,

00:59:36.380 the inauguration.

00:59:37.240 With all of the flags up there and all of the things and the Star Spangled Banner and

00:59:42.540 the, oh, there's a tear to my eye.

00:59:44.960 No, it doesn't.

00:59:45.780 No, it doesn't.

00:59:48.240 You've been saying for the last five years how much this country sucks, how this flag

00:59:52.680 is a symbol of oppression, how the Star Spangled Banner is a symbol of oppression and a song

00:59:58.620 of oppression.

00:59:59.320 I mean, I just can't take it.

01:00:01.620 But I can take differences of opinions easy.

01:00:05.640 But to at least believe in the Bill of Rights.

01:00:08.460 And I think Tulsi Gabbard does.

01:00:10.700 We've been trying to get her on the show.

01:00:12.080 For some reason, for some reason, she doesn't want to come on the show.

01:00:14.580 That's weird, isn't it?

01:00:15.220 That is very strange.

01:00:16.560 I'm shocked by that.

01:00:17.960 Oh, you know who I have on for the podcast tomorrow?

01:00:21.120 Oh, you're going to love this.

01:00:23.800 If you are a Blaze TV subscriber, you're going to get it two days before anybody else.

01:00:30.320 Tomorrow, I have the head of the astronomy department at Harvard.

01:00:36.640 His credentials are a mile long, who says, we've already, we've been visited in 2017 by aliens.

01:00:48.240 And he said, you know, I can make a pretty good case.

01:00:51.820 He's got a new book out called Extraterrestrials.

01:00:54.440 And it's about that.

01:00:57.060 Remember that, that cigar shaped?

01:01:00.340 Oh, yeah.

01:01:00.920 Okay.

01:01:01.400 The asteroid.

01:01:03.160 I got up to like chapter four last night.

01:01:05.460 It's he's like, it's not an asteroid.

01:01:07.700 And here's why.

01:01:08.580 And he explains it.

01:01:09.660 He explains how it was shiny.

01:01:12.940 It was like mirror like or metallic.

01:01:15.820 And the way it behaved, he said, comes, destroys everything we know about the physical universe.

01:01:25.920 If this indeed is an asteroid or a meteorite or something, it did not behave within the the principles of physics.

01:01:35.460 And he said, so it would be impossible.

01:01:37.460 It would be impossible.

01:01:38.500 Or our physics are wrong.

01:01:40.120 And he said, we should have this talk, but nobody wants to talk about it because, you know, oh, right, right, right.

01:01:47.200 It's an alien ship.

01:01:48.200 Well, what else is it?

01:01:50.520 And he's not saying it's an alien ship.

01:01:52.840 He said, it's the best, easiest explanation.

01:01:57.360 But if it's not, what is it?

01:02:00.460 And the way he talks about it is phenomenal.

01:02:03.340 He's going to do a podcast with me tomorrow and you'll be able to hear that tonight for Blaze TV subscribers.

01:02:08.940 And also, I think we're putting this on the Blaze TV YouTube channel tonight.

01:02:13.500 I'm going to talk to you about what's happening in the Biden administration and all of these oligarchs and the way they are now structuring the government.

01:02:25.560 A recent article in Foreign Affairs written by Samantha Power.

01:02:29.980 Yeah, she's back.

01:02:31.360 President Biden had made her the new head of USAID.

01:02:34.940 And then he put USAID, that seat, on the National Security Council.

01:02:42.460 Why?

01:02:43.780 Here's what she says.

01:02:45.100 No leader wants it known that he has used his position of power and privilege to help himself and his cronies profit at the expense of citizens.

01:02:54.580 That's the accidental definition of Joe Biden.

01:02:57.280 So we started looking into the crony capitalism two weeks ago on Glenn TV.

01:03:01.840 And tonight we're picking that baton back up and we're going to look at more of the deep pocketed stakeholders from BlackRock and big tech who have unprecedented White House access to further the worldwide agenda that is happening right now in Davos.

01:03:19.380 It's amazing that the World Economic Forum actually responded to this program yesterday.

01:03:25.800 I said something on this program yesterday and from Davos, they tweeted back and they said, that's the Glenn Beck is just this isn't right.

01:03:35.120 Yes, it is.

01:03:36.020 And we explained it in the first hour of this of this broadcast today.

01:03:39.840 Something is very, very wrong and you need to know about it.

01:03:44.300 It happens tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on BlazeTV.com slash Glenn or BlazeTV YouTube.

01:03:51.360 Don't miss it.

01:03:52.020 Share it with a friend.

01:03:55.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:00.460 Ah, steaks.

01:04:03.040 Is there anything better than a great steak?

01:04:06.880 I'm thinking.

01:04:09.260 Children.

01:04:09.840 A great steak.

01:04:13.980 I can't think of anything better than a great steak right now.

01:04:16.860 And the best steaks are from Omaha steaks.

01:04:20.060 This has been America's butcher for, I don't, I don't even know, since like 1913 or 1911.

01:04:25.860 They've been in the business for over a hundred years.

01:04:28.520 And the reason why they've been in the business that long is because they just make the best spoon cut fillets you've ever had in your life.

01:04:37.280 I mean, their steaks are so tender and it's because they age their steaks 21 days.

01:04:42.120 And right now, if you go to their website at Omaha steaks.com, you enter the keyword Beck into the search bar, you'll get a special price for their package right now.

01:04:51.760 The best seller's griller pack, the butcher's best sellers.

01:04:54.500 It includes four of their iconic fork tender butcher cut fillets.

01:04:59.100 Four juicy burgers, four pork chops, desserts, so much more.

01:05:03.580 And if you use the promo code Beck, you'll get four more chicken breasts and four more burgers for free.

01:05:09.460 Omaha steaks.com promo code Beck.

01:05:12.240 When you subscribe to Blaze TV, I don't think they send you any steaks, but you do get a lot of good conservative programming.

01:05:16.940 Go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:05:18.900 The promo code is Glenn and you'll save 30 bucks.

01:05:21.200 So, $15 an hour.

01:05:29.660 Why only $15 an hour?

01:05:31.680 I mean, it's like the masks.

01:05:33.960 You know?

01:05:34.960 Well, if one mask is good, two masks is better.

01:05:37.680 Why not three?

01:05:38.220 Why not seven?

01:05:39.080 Why not 25?

01:05:41.360 Same thing with minimum wage.

01:05:44.380 Why shouldn't the minimum wage be something really living?

01:05:47.200 And maybe, you know, something that includes like where you could buy a house, maybe like $60,000 a year.

01:05:53.840 I mean, why don't we just do that?

01:05:56.340 Why stop at 15?

01:05:59.080 Brian Riedel is with us.

01:06:01.020 He's the senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute.

01:06:03.660 He's a guy who doesn't care who's in office, Republicans or Democrats.

01:06:09.840 He points out both of them suck when it comes to actually living by the budget.

01:06:16.240 And we wanted to talk to him about the $15 wage and also how long can we last at these kind of spending limits.

01:06:23.740 We go to Brian now.

01:06:24.780 Hi, Brian.

01:06:25.160 How are you?

01:06:26.140 I'm great, Glenn.

01:06:26.740 How are you?

01:06:27.180 Very good.

01:06:27.820 By the way, I forgot to mention you were also one of the researchers and co-authors of the book Broke, which was fantastic.

01:06:36.120 At least they tell me.

01:06:39.960 It was a great book.

01:06:41.040 I was honored to have helped in my own little way.

01:06:43.360 Yeah.

01:06:43.660 Thanks, Brian.

01:06:44.200 Okay, so Brian, let's talk about the $15 wage.

01:06:49.220 What will that do to the nation?

01:06:52.820 Well, you know, the Congressional Budget Office said that even if we did it gradually during an economic boom, it would cost between 1.3 and 3.7 million jobs.

01:07:04.480 Instead, they're talking about doing it during a recession, which means you're going to lose even more.

01:07:09.860 But that's not even the worst of it.

01:07:11.320 They would also raise the tipped minimum wage, you know, what waiters and waitresses make, from $213 to $15.

01:07:19.240 So, think of what restaurants are going through right now.

01:07:23.660 Restaurants are going through their worst crisis in history.

01:07:28.200 Millions have gone under.

01:07:29.820 Many others are on the brink of bankruptcy.

01:07:32.520 And the solution in the stimulus bill is to increase their minimum wage by 600%.

01:07:38.640 I mean, it is economic malpractice.

01:07:41.040 So, Brian, explain to people who don't understand, you know, these big companies, they could afford $15 an hour.

01:07:50.240 Explain why this cancels their jobs.

01:07:53.960 Because not only can, not all big companies can afford it.

01:07:58.080 You know, profit margins aren't that big.

01:08:01.000 And especially small businesses really often cannot afford it, especially in low-cost places like Mississippi and Puerto Rico.

01:08:09.960 You know, they tried raising the minimum wage really high in Puerto Rico about 15 years ago, and it cost something like 40% unemployment.

01:08:17.080 Oh, my gosh.

01:08:17.600 But here's another point.

01:08:19.840 Even if companies can afford it, it doesn't mean they will.

01:08:24.100 Because, you know, companies aren't charities.

01:08:26.620 If they're going to take a loss on an employee, if that employee is only worth $10 an hour, they're not going to pay them $15, even if they can afford it.

01:08:35.860 What they're going to do is switch to automation.

01:08:37.720 And that's why the higher the minimum wage goes, the more likely it is that you're going to walk into a Taco Bell and go up to a little machine and press a lot of buttons in order to get your Big Mac.

01:08:48.120 I mean, it was the old automat or the old, what is it, automatic, I think, was the restaurant up in New York where you didn't have anybody waiting on you back in the 1930s.

01:09:00.600 Now there's no one behind the machine to stuff the food in.

01:09:04.240 Now it will just be a machine.

01:09:06.220 And we would call that progress anywhere else, but because it's going to put people out of work now, it's going to be devastating to the economy, especially when you have truck drivers who are going to be the first on the block when automated trucks are everywhere on the highway.

01:09:25.520 And that's part of the plan.

01:09:26.560 You know, Andrew Yang has been saying we need universal basic income for all the jobs lost to automation.

01:09:31.680 Well, they're speeding up the shift to automation by essentially banning all jobs that don't pay $15 an hour.

01:09:39.980 You're going to put a lot of people out of work.

01:09:42.260 Then we're going to have to spend a trillion dollars on their universal basic income payment.

01:09:47.120 So you're going to end up paying for that, too.

01:09:49.280 So there are places like in New York City and not today.

01:09:52.540 There are places in New York City with $15 an hour would be reasonable.

01:09:57.720 You know, you've got to pay higher if you're living in New York City.

01:10:03.600 But there are also places all over the country where $15 an hour is quite a haul.

01:10:11.740 Yeah, this is why $15 is crazy for a national number.

01:10:15.360 It's not sensitive to local economies and local conditions.

01:10:18.600 You know, Seattle and San Francisco can afford it much easier than places like, again, Mississippi or Puerto Rico where prices are lower, wages are lower.

01:10:29.960 You know, in Mississippi, the average manufacturing job doesn't even pay $15 an hour.

01:10:35.380 You know, forget fast food.

01:10:37.060 Even, you know, a manufacturing job doesn't pay that.

01:10:40.540 And that's why I think that the better solution is to leave minimum wage up to the states.

01:10:44.840 Some states have been raising their minimum wage.

01:10:48.440 Some cities have been raising their minimum wage.

01:10:50.860 Other cities and states with lower costs haven't because the local elected officials understand a little better the local economic conditions and needs.

01:11:00.800 A $15 national floor is bonkers coming out of Washington.

01:11:06.260 Tell me about Seattle because the initial response was this is going to put the restaurants out of business.

01:11:12.240 What has happened to Seattle since they put this in?

01:11:15.600 Seattle has done a $15 wage and it has slowed down employment, certainly.

01:11:21.940 It hasn't caused an epic crash in the state.

01:11:25.180 But the employment growth over the last couple of years certainly slowed down.

01:11:30.360 There has been somewhat of a shift to automation.

01:11:33.600 Even the tradeoff exists in Seattle.

01:11:36.340 It hasn't caused a crash, but there has been a definite slowdown in the growth of a lot of the jobs that are affected by the minimum wage.

01:11:45.900 So we have, according to President Biden now, a $11 trillion in new spending over the decade.

01:11:56.500 They're no longer looking for the offsets.

01:11:58.960 Because he's saying that $3 trillion in new taxes will help offset that.

01:12:07.480 I mean, we're just, we're printing money, right?

01:12:10.220 I mean, we're really on modern monetary theory at this point, right, without calling it that?

01:12:16.500 We are.

01:12:16.960 In fact, last year when we ran a $3.3 trillion deficit, two-thirds of that was funded by the Federal Reserve.

01:12:23.740 It was funded by the printing press.

01:12:24.880 So we are printing money.

01:12:27.180 We're not taxing it.

01:12:28.260 We're not even really borrowing it.

01:12:29.980 We're funding it out of the printing press.

01:12:32.020 And you're right.

01:12:32.720 I mean, what Biden has proposed is $11 trillion in new spending over the decade.

01:12:38.680 You know, to put that in context, John Kerry proposed $2 trillion over the decade, no four.

01:12:44.600 Obama proposed $1 trillion.

01:12:46.940 Hillary Clinton proposed $2 trillion.

01:12:48.800 Then Biden proposed $11 trillion, which shows that although Biden ran as a moderate, today's Democratic Party has shifted so far to the left that $11 trillion sounded like a moderate.

01:13:02.360 It's a huge amount.

01:13:03.940 And by the way, that $11 trillion, that's on top of the baseline deficit of about $15 trillion over the decade.

01:13:11.800 So really, Biden would have a total deficit of about $26 trillion over the decade.

01:13:16.800 Is that number optimistic, too, Brian?

01:13:19.520 I mean, does that reflect reality, even $26 trillion?

01:13:22.620 It's optimistic in that those numbers were before the recession.

01:13:26.880 Wow.

01:13:27.480 Wow.

01:13:28.200 And also assumes no interest rate hikes, too.

01:13:31.480 Exactly.

01:13:31.960 These numbers, the scary thing about all these numbers is they assume interest rates stay low forever.

01:13:38.200 And let me tell you, if interest rates rise one point higher than the Congressional Budget Office assumes, that would add $30 trillion over 30 years in interest.

01:13:48.720 Oh, my gosh.

01:13:49.580 Oh, my gosh.

01:13:51.260 Okay.

01:13:52.100 Wow.

01:13:52.740 You know, people say, this is not Weimar, it's not Zimbabwe, and it's not yet.

01:14:01.560 You know, it wasn't Weimar until a certain point.

01:14:06.040 And then it was like, oh, my gosh.

01:14:07.860 And it's too late.

01:14:09.800 Any idea when it becomes too late?

01:14:13.980 I mean, we are headed, correct me if I'm wrong, we're headed for a Zimbabwe or a Weimar if we don't stop this at some point, right?

01:14:24.940 Oh, the trends are absolutely unsustainable.

01:14:27.160 I mean, in total, the Congressional Budget Office proposed $104 trillion in deficits over the next 30 years, even before the recession, even with low interest rates.

01:14:37.480 $104 trillion over 30 years, you know, you add in a little interest rate increase, you add in what we're going through right now, you could be up to $150 trillion over 30 years.

01:14:47.060 Okay, so.

01:14:47.480 These numbers are so big, it sounds like monopoly money.

01:14:50.120 And it will be monopoly money.

01:14:53.300 Yeah.

01:14:53.620 At some point, the system can't hold it up.

01:14:57.700 And that could be in five years, seven years, ten years.

01:15:02.300 A lot of it really depends on the bond market.

01:15:04.320 To the extent that the bond market is lending Washington money, at some point, they're going to say, we're going to stop lending you.

01:15:11.640 We don't think you're good for this.

01:15:12.880 This is ridiculous.

01:15:14.340 And you're going to have to pay us twice as high of interest rates to compensate for the risk.

01:15:19.540 At that point, you get into this vicious circle where Washington has to pay higher interest rates in order to attract lenders, which only makes the borrowing more, which makes them even more nervous, which requires even higher interest rates.

01:15:31.320 At that point, I think what happens is Washington says, okay, forget finding lenders.

01:15:37.100 We're just going to use the printing press.

01:15:39.340 And that's when you start looking like Weimar Germany.

01:15:42.720 Didn't we already kind of hit this in some ways?

01:15:46.560 I mean, I think it was over last summer or the summer before.

01:15:49.780 We offered bonds, and nobody took them, and the Fed just started buying them.

01:15:54.480 Yeah, in the short term, we're facing that right now because with deficits, $3.3 trillion last year could be even bigger this year.

01:16:03.740 There just isn't enough people buying bonds to pay for that.

01:16:06.760 As a matter of fact, the number of borrowing we're getting internationally, new borrowing, has been pretty much zero.

01:16:13.700 China and Japan have not been buying our bonds at all.

01:16:16.660 And domestically, there just isn't enough savers in order to pay for all this.

01:16:21.360 So right now, we're facing the printing press running it because we can't find $3 to $4 trillion a year for domestic people to lend to us.

01:16:31.120 Now, hopefully, as the recession ends, the deficit goes down to only $1 or $2 trillion a year.

01:16:37.320 I put only in air quotes.

01:16:38.700 That'll be a little bit easier to finance, but it's not sustainable long-term to keep borrowing $1, $2, $3 trillion a year.

01:16:49.400 Have you seen what's happening in Davos with the Great Reset?

01:16:54.060 I'm trying not.

01:16:55.540 Yeah, I know.

01:16:56.420 I know.

01:16:56.680 Everybody's carrying such a heavy load.

01:16:58.840 Yesterday, they said, all we need is $50 trillion, and we can do all these things.

01:17:06.320 $50 trillion.

01:17:08.700 That sounds like where politics are right now.

01:17:11.400 You know, a couple years ago, I wrote an article that said the Democrats' proposals would cost $42 trillion over 10 years,

01:17:17.940 and people thought I was crazy to use a number that big.

01:17:21.320 No one would ever propose that.

01:17:22.920 And now, these numbers are old hat.

01:17:24.940 You know, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, all of this stuff.

01:17:29.680 We're hearing $50, $100 trillion thrown around like they're nothing.

01:17:34.700 Thank you so much.

01:17:35.780 Brian, I'd love to have you on again, but I need to take some medicine here before I talk to you again.

01:17:43.660 Brian, thank you so much.

01:17:44.880 I appreciate it.

01:17:45.620 We'll talk again.

01:17:46.380 I would like to go in a little further on what it means when the dollar starts to lose its value and who really gets hurt.

01:17:55.580 It's the people who always played by the rules and people who have their money in a savings bank.

01:18:00.120 Exactly.

01:18:02.000 All right.

01:18:02.580 Brian, thank you so much.

01:18:03.500 Appreciate it.

01:18:05.780 Brian knows that stuff better than anybody.

01:18:07.360 I swear.

01:18:07.860 He's a great follow on Twitter at Brian underscore Riedel, I believe it is.

01:18:10.900 R-I-E-D-L. 0.99

01:18:12.600 Great place to go because he's got this stuff, and he's been saying it the whole time.

01:18:15.900 He was saying it every president going back through the years.

01:18:19.460 Even Trump.

01:18:20.000 The whole time.

01:18:21.000 You know, a lot of conservatives haven't focused on the budget here and the debt for a while.

01:18:25.180 Well, hopefully that's going to return here with Biden as president because it's really important.

01:18:30.180 That is, I mean, that is the one good thing about the Biden administration is at least conservatives will start paying attention to the debt again.

01:18:36.340 Some people find their faith.

01:18:37.460 Yeah.

01:18:38.220 John lives in Kansas a few years ago.

01:18:40.140 Back injury made it so he was living every single day in pain.

01:18:43.060 He tried a number of different things to try to make it go away or at least dull it down.

01:18:46.860 Nothing really worked.

01:18:48.400 Fortunately, John listens to the radio.

01:18:50.000 Even more fortunately, he has good taste in radio shows.

01:18:53.640 Hello, John.

01:18:54.100 He heard a certain velvety voice talk radio guy talking about relief factor.

01:19:00.200 John was like, I don't know if I believe this clown.

01:19:02.740 Wait a minute.

01:19:03.540 That was by the by the point that he heard me talk about.

01:19:07.360 He was living with back pain for years, and he had he was at the point of I give anything a try.

01:19:13.300 So he ordered the three week quick start.

01:19:15.840 Well, that radio man turned out to be right because he writes within a few weeks.

01:19:21.360 I felt better that I have not only in years, but I I felt better than I had before my injury.

01:19:28.920 He got his life back.

01:19:30.800 You can, too.

01:19:31.700 It's not a drug is developed by doctors.

01:19:34.080 And 70 percent of the people who try it for three weeks go on order more because it works for them.

01:19:38.980 Order the three week quick start and see if it works for you.

01:19:41.940 Nineteen ninety five is the three week trial pack.

01:19:44.700 You can get it at relief factor dot com relief factor dot com or call 800-583-84 800-583-84.

01:19:54.760 It's relief factor dot com.

01:20:02.740 So they're keeping the National Guard in Washington, D.C.

01:20:07.060 And nobody will explain why yesterday we asked the Army secretary.

01:20:17.820 What what why are the troops still there?

01:20:21.260 They referred the Washington examiner to the FBI.

01:20:26.800 The FBI declined to respond.

01:20:29.820 Now, the acting secretary for the Army, John Whitley, told reporters yesterday in a conference call that what I can tell you is in terms of what the FBI is briefing us, is that there are several upcoming events that we need to be here for.

01:20:49.940 When pushed on it, he said, we don't engage in intelligence work ourselves.

01:20:54.660 We rely on federal partners and particularly the FBI to provide that information.

01:20:59.620 After the January six capital riot, intelligence failures by law enforcement were cited by former Trump Army secretary Ryan McCarthy.

01:21:09.500 He said, you know, we should have been notified of this and had the troops there.

01:21:15.320 They said we don't do in domestic intelligence.

01:21:17.780 We don't know. It's against the law for us to do this.

01:21:21.180 Whitley said FBI briefings have indicated that an upcoming unlawful First Amendment protected protest could be used by malicious actors to incite more violence.

01:21:31.940 We're posturing our forces to be able to respond to these threats if they emerge.

01:21:37.060 So we've got we have 7,000 guard members that will be there until this weekend, and they're going to keep 5,000 National Guard members at the Capitol until mid-March.

01:21:53.060 Let's not normalize this.

01:21:57.020 American military troops on the streets of our nation's Capitol.

01:22:03.040 Yeah, can we not normalize this?

01:22:04.780 I think the people need to demand some answers and your governor needs to say, what are you doing?

01:22:11.940 Or I'm pulling them back.

01:22:13.180 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:15.160 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:22:16.420 It's a real estate agents.

01:22:17.680 I trust whether you're a buyer or a seller.

01:22:25.820 Holy cow. 0.89

01:22:26.460 If have houses are I don't know what it's like in your neighborhood.

01:22:29.540 It's a crazy market right now.

01:22:30.580 Somebody in my neighborhood, somebody just knocked on their door and offered them a bunch of money way over what they would even have thought about selling it for.

01:22:41.020 It wasn't even on the market.

01:22:41.840 Wasn't even on the market.

01:22:42.700 They just knocked on the door and they said, give you this one.

01:22:45.540 Give you a million dollars more than what your house is.

01:22:48.680 You know, it was you paid for it.

01:22:50.380 And he was like, OK, hang on.

01:22:51.860 Let me get my stuff.

01:22:53.880 You need somebody that really knows how to make sure they can get the best price for you for your house and also the best price for you getting into a new house.

01:23:02.720 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:23:04.800 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:23:20.380 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:35.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:40.200 Friends, I want you to put your hands together and I want you to raise them up over your head and I want you to say thank you, Jesus, because there is a COVID miracle that is happening all around this great land.

01:23:55.140 You know, Joe Biden said miracles just don't happen, but we got a Joe Biden COVID miracle right here on our hands.

01:24:03.520 And I want you to recognize that miracle in the next few minutes.

01:24:08.380 We're going to tell you all about it with a great preacher friend of mine, Mr. Steve Dace in 60 seconds.

01:24:20.280 Bill Barr.

01:24:21.600 Yes, Bill Barr is saving my butt because I don't know about you, but I have a real sweet tooth.

01:24:28.660 I am trying to lose about over 50 pounds in the next year.

01:24:35.720 And I'm down five pounds, I think now total since the beginning of the year.

01:24:41.300 And I have a really big sweet tooth and there's nothing that I have ever had that kind of cures that.

01:24:49.520 I'm up at night looking for cookies or ice cream or something until Bilt Bar.

01:24:53.460 It is a tremendous, tremendous treat, especially if you're trying to lose weight.

01:25:00.740 It is a protein bar.

01:25:02.380 And I know protein bars.

01:25:04.160 Oh, that sounds awful.

01:25:06.460 They are truly, truly gag worthy.

01:25:09.800 They never taste good.

01:25:11.360 And if it's a diet protein bar, it's worse because then it tastes like chemicals.

01:25:16.500 Not the Bilt Bar.

01:25:17.840 This made with real chocolate.

01:25:19.900 I don't know how they do it.

01:25:21.040 I don't care if it's witchcraft, voodoo witchcraft. 1.00

01:25:23.440 I don't care, Bilt Bar.

01:25:24.260 Keep doing it because I love it.

01:25:26.460 They're about 100 to 130 calories each one.

01:25:31.160 Like I said, they taste like a candy bar, but they have everything in it that you need.

01:25:35.580 It's a great protein bar and great for your diet.

01:25:51.040 Mr. Steve Dace is here to talk to us about, well, he thinks it's strange that this miraculous

01:26:02.520 turnaround on COVID has happened, but I'd say it is part of the miracle that is Joe Biden.

01:26:10.300 Welcome, Steve Dace.

01:26:11.540 Morning, guys.

01:26:12.380 The ride over here, you guys had this thing.

01:26:14.340 What's that yellow thing in the sky?

01:26:15.760 I haven't seen that where I'm from in a month and a half.

01:26:17.660 Yeah, we have it all the time.

01:26:19.340 I rolled the window down in the car and I felt like Rusty on, remember the movie Mask?

01:26:23.720 I felt like Rusty and the sun shining on my face.

01:26:26.900 It was a miracle.

01:26:27.840 Yeah, it is nice here.

01:26:29.400 It's nice.

01:26:30.480 So, Steve, let's talk a little bit about the COVID miracle.

01:26:35.120 Indeed, you touched the hem of Joe Biden's dementia and look what happens.

01:26:37.860 Look what happens, right?

01:26:39.040 People are healed.

01:26:39.980 New York is opening up.

01:26:41.240 Yes.

01:26:42.260 California, yesterday, Gavin Newsom came up and said, hey, all of this stay-at-home stuff,

01:26:46.740 it's over.

01:26:48.080 Yeah.

01:26:48.540 What happened?

01:26:48.980 Well, they have the worst spike in the country, actually, right now in the state of California.

01:26:52.840 It is, it's cynical and it's sinister and we knew it was coming, but to watch it unfold

01:26:58.940 in real time is still a sight to behold.

01:27:01.640 Nevertheless, I mean, if you go back and trace to when Joe Biden was certified the winner on

01:27:07.200 January the 6th and if you look at the series of, well, fortunate events, if you want your

01:27:12.900 life back, that has occurred since then, you cannot do anything but retcon it and trace

01:27:18.180 it back, guys, to the fact that, hey, we're in charge now and lockdowns just aren't politically

01:27:23.160 useful to us anymore.

01:27:25.400 To me, the most, you mentioned several examples.

01:27:27.800 There's Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan. 0.99

01:27:29.100 Remember, you know, I mean, last winter and spring, you couldn't buy seed to work in your

01:27:34.320 yard in Michigan, right?

01:27:35.960 Okay.

01:27:36.480 I mean, it's, this is happening all over the country, except if you're in Ohio governed

01:27:40.020 by the appropriately named Republican Mike DeWine, who seems to be completely drunk on

01:27:46.360 Branch, Kavitian, Kool-Aid.

01:27:47.960 But in a lot of other places where Democrats just talk the woke game in order to get power, 0.80

01:27:52.480 but really it's just because they'd like to be sitting in box seats at their favorite

01:27:56.040 major league team this summer and said they're Republicans, suddenly they're like, you know

01:27:59.360 what, we need to reopen this thing.

01:28:01.100 And the most cynical of them all was one hour after Joe Biden was inaugurated, the World Health

01:28:06.940 Organization came out and said, stop testing all these asymptomatic people.

01:28:11.520 Your cycle thresholds for PCR testing, positive tests are all too high.

01:28:16.340 You know, the stuff people like us got crushed with our Facebook traffic and demonetized by the

01:28:21.320 quote unquote Facebook science team for saying all last fall.

01:28:26.900 Now the World Health Organization is saying it now that Joe Biden is in there.

01:28:30.420 So, Stu, you know, the opposite argument for the testing, you know, because I've heard a

01:28:37.080 lot of people say this testing is going to make things look a lot better because the cycle,

01:28:43.640 you know, you run 40 cycles and it picks up things that aren't necessarily there or dead

01:28:48.160 virus, et cetera, et cetera.

01:28:49.840 Give me the opposing argument.

01:28:51.460 I'd like to hear you too.

01:28:52.700 Well, I mean, I don't think that there's an opposing argument to whether you should be

01:28:55.400 able to post what you believe is true.

01:28:57.200 No, no, no, no, no, not that the actual testing that it doesn't really change that much.

01:29:02.940 Well, I mean, I guess the argument would be that, you know, you have the PCR test, right?

01:29:08.440 That they can, they run a certain amount of cycles.

01:29:10.060 And so they basically, these are heating cycles that try to manipulate to magnify the virus,

01:29:15.520 basically, so you can detect it.

01:29:17.240 Most of them run 30, 40, 50 cycles.

01:29:19.780 It's a matter of when they get picked up.

01:29:21.780 There's a certain percentage of those tests that wind up in a late sort of run, right?

01:29:26.000 Where they'll be like maybe in the 40th cycle.

01:29:28.300 The concept is that those tests should be rerun, which is what they were trying to state in this

01:29:33.140 alert.

01:29:35.160 They've been terrible at communicating things from the very beginning.

01:29:37.940 And we've been hammering on them from the very beginning to explain these things in

01:29:41.740 a way that people could understand.

01:29:44.320 You know, if these tests come up and they have, they wind up being, there's a certain

01:29:48.500 percentage chance of false positives if they run in those later cycles.

01:29:53.320 Now, there's the very low chance of PCR tests, generally speaking, coming out as false positives.

01:29:58.020 That's, you know, typically not the way they work, right?

01:30:00.540 When you amplify something and you're looking for something very specific, you're not going

01:30:03.780 to see that amplify.

01:30:05.840 Like, for example, if you had like a Lady Gaga song playing really quietly and you turned

01:30:10.660 it up as loud as you can and you kept amplifying it and amplifying it, Lady Gaga would get 1.00

01:30:13.800 very loud, right?

01:30:14.600 You would never detect Barry Manilow in there.

01:30:17.060 Right.

01:30:17.260 Right.

01:30:17.920 That's just not how it works.

01:30:19.240 Right.

01:30:19.400 However, if there's, if they screw up, which they've done many times, if the testing,

01:30:24.820 if the sample is manipulated or defective in some way, you can have those situations

01:30:31.580 happen.

01:30:31.860 And if the lab isn't run appropriately, you can have some of these positive tests.

01:30:35.320 So it is significant.

01:30:36.200 It's just that the question is whether it, I mean, it doesn't, I don't think you'd make

01:30:40.160 the case.

01:30:40.540 I mean, I've seen many of Steve's posts where you talk about this is a serious thing and

01:30:45.100 it's killed a lot of people.

01:30:46.540 The question is, why do we have to deal with these sensors who come in?

01:30:52.300 And every time when you make a point like this, you get thrown off.

01:30:56.380 And when the World Health Organization comes in and says, yeah, there might be some of

01:30:59.080 these, they don't come back and put you back on.

01:31:01.520 Exactly.

01:31:01.980 On the internet.

01:31:02.360 You don't get your reputation back.

01:31:03.660 I checked my inbox before I came on.

01:31:05.760 No apologies?

01:31:06.560 I had not received anything from the Facebook science tank.

01:31:08.560 None of us?

01:31:08.860 Really?

01:31:09.240 Nothing.

01:31:09.900 And there's no good answers to your question.

01:31:13.580 See, I thought you were going to raise the point that if we, if we had a more accurate

01:31:17.940 testing system, you're right that PCR testing is considered the gold standard, but there's

01:31:22.300 always the human element, right?

01:31:23.860 Yeah.

01:31:24.060 Meaning how many times do I look at something and eventually I'll find it if I want, but

01:31:27.900 is that some kind of viral artifact?

01:31:29.740 Will it actually be something that if someone comes into contact with it, will it still be

01:31:33.680 infectious?

01:31:34.520 Right?

01:31:34.780 Yeah.

01:31:34.960 And that's a huge difference.

01:31:35.760 And there's no distinctions being drawn there.

01:31:37.580 There haven't been until, well, an hour after Joe Biden got inaugurated.

01:31:41.180 Now there are.

01:31:42.220 But the reason why that's so important to note, because the other argument is, well, if we get

01:31:46.440 rid of all these asymptomatic positives, then you guys always want to talk about how low

01:31:50.060 the IFR is for this, the infection fatality rate, that it's actually just slightly higher

01:31:54.740 than the flu, like Anthony Fauci originally wrote in February in the New England Journal

01:31:58.840 of Medicine.

01:31:59.480 You guys always talk about that.

01:32:01.040 Well, if we get rid of all the asymptomatic positives, the IFR rate's going to go way up.

01:32:04.900 And I agree that it will, but see, but that's different because the strategy from the beginning

01:32:09.600 has been to control this virus by locking down the healthy, locking down the asymptomatic. 0.99

01:32:14.320 If we specifically identify who is the most prone to this, then we will do what human societies

01:32:21.620 have been doing since Bible times with outbreaks, isolating the people who are infected or the

01:32:27.580 most vulnerable to being infected.

01:32:29.460 But the rest of society has to go on.

01:32:31.920 We have been doing that as a species for thousands of years.

01:32:36.300 This one time, for reasons only Alain knows, we decided to do the exact opposite of that.

01:32:41.740 It seems like, too, the antigen tests are an interesting part of this battle in that, like,

01:32:46.440 it seems to more accurately identify people with active virus that can infect others.

01:32:52.040 And like, that's really the important, like, there's two things that are important, right?

01:32:55.300 Knowing who has had the virus six months ago is important to know how it's spread.

01:33:00.480 And there's a lot of things that scientists can prove out of that.

01:33:04.080 We can understand the virus better.

01:33:05.840 But as far as, like, should you be able to go into work next Tuesday, like, that is like,

01:33:10.700 the antigen test seems to do a much better job.

01:33:12.660 That's what the NFL has been using.

01:33:14.600 That's what a lot of the college teams used.

01:33:16.600 And then if you got a positive, they went to the PCR route to verify that.

01:33:20.020 But even with the National Football League, which you would assume those people have as

01:33:23.920 good of private health insurance as any private industry in the country, they had dozens

01:33:28.780 upon dozens upon dozens of false positives this year.

01:33:31.980 So let me bring you back, because I honestly feel like we're entering the days of Galileo

01:33:38.120 again.

01:33:39.020 Let me give you two comments that came out of the Davos speeches yesterday on the Great

01:33:45.140 Reset from the World Economic Forum.

01:33:47.320 This one comes from the president of the European Union.

01:33:51.040 Quote, a new study by the Center for Human Progress demonstrates that fake news spread six

01:33:56.700 times faster than real news owed to the fact that fake news does not have the burden

01:34:01.620 of having to go through the journalistic process of verification of facts.

01:34:06.680 Therefore, new regulations must be set for social media platforms around the world, requiring

01:34:12.620 all news stories and articles to go through a validation process before they're allowed to

01:34:18.120 be published or shared.

01:34:20.220 This comes from the editor of the Times of London yesterday at the World Economic Forum.

01:34:25.760 Freedom of speech is a sacred right.

01:34:28.020 But freedom to lie, to mislead and fool others is not.

01:34:33.240 If your speech disagrees with science, it is a lie.

01:34:37.920 If it disagrees with facts, it is a lie.

01:34:42.080 Lies are not protected by free speech. 1.00

01:34:44.440 Well, maybe not in London, but lies are protected here in the United States.

01:34:48.960 All speech should be protected and is under the Constitution.

01:34:52.240 But what caught me here was, Galileo, if you can hear me, if your speech disagrees with

01:34:58.480 science, it's a lie.

01:35:00.880 Which science?

01:35:02.280 I mean, one of the things that has been, and I've talked about this with you guys before,

01:35:07.360 the biggest surprise to me since I started pushing back on this last March is I was hesitant

01:35:13.640 to go out in front and push back because I was concerned that it was just going to be

01:35:18.560 the blaze Breitbart brigade of, you know, of deplorables against the climate change agenda.

01:35:25.360 This would just be a proxy for that, right?

01:35:27.780 What shocked me is how in academic circles there was pushback right away.

01:35:32.860 How epidemiologists at Oxford pushed back on Imperial College and its doomsday model, like

01:35:38.640 the day after Boris Johnson succumbed to it, how scientists at Stanford, long before I

01:35:43.440 even knew who Scott Atlas was, all right, but epidemiologists at Stanford, John Ioannidis

01:35:48.880 and others were pushing back on many of these things.

01:35:51.940 Scientists at Harvard, Yale, Carnegie Mellon.

01:35:54.700 These are not insignificant places of academia.

01:35:57.760 Most of these are places that teach people that life came out of nowhere because of proteins

01:36:03.000 and amino acids, amino acids spontaneously combusted one day.

01:36:06.300 There's 59 genders, right? 0.94

01:36:08.000 They're not on team blaze.

01:36:09.880 Many of these places are, but even they looked at the models and the science and said, that

01:36:13.760 dog won't hunt. 0.62

01:36:14.980 And so one of the great mysteries to me this for the last year has been even within their

01:36:19.060 own academic circles, there have been elite sectors of their own intelligentsia that have

01:36:24.020 called BS on this and have largely just been ignored by our own scientific policy community.

01:36:31.220 I think maybe we're learning that there's a scientific community and then there's a scientific

01:36:35.780 policy community.

01:36:36.900 If you know what I'm trying to say, people who then want to weaponize their findings to

01:36:41.100 create certain policy outcomes.

01:36:42.700 And if you go back to the very first Imperial College model, when I started researching Imperial

01:36:47.560 College, one of their great benefactors is a guy named Jeremy Bentham.

01:36:51.300 And Jeremy Bentham is a radical climate alarmist.

01:36:54.140 And if you looked at all of Neil Ferguson's solutions for this, they were all essentially

01:36:59.100 proto versions of the Green New Deal right out of Jeremy Bentham's, you know, get rid of 0.81

01:37:03.960 carbon based, you know, products of fantasy.

01:37:06.920 I want to, I want to play something because what you just talked about, we were warned of,

01:37:11.740 and I want to play something from history that is, that is phenomenal that you need to hear

01:37:17.540 because you are saying exactly the same thing.

01:37:22.000 And we're, before it was prophecy.

01:37:24.620 Now it is, now it's here and we're living it.

01:38:40.760 Let me play something.

01:38:55.760 And everybody's heard this warning from Eisenhower, but I want to play the whole thing.

01:39:01.240 And Steve, I'd love to have your comments on this after.

01:39:03.980 The country is turning into an oligarchy, and we were warned by Eisenhower about this.

01:39:11.980 Now listen to what he said.

01:39:13.620 Akin to and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture has

01:39:21.940 been the technological revolution during recent decades.

01:39:25.780 In this revolution, research has become central.

01:39:30.560 It also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly.

01:39:34.620 A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of the federal government.

01:39:43.020 Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces

01:39:49.500 of scientists in laboratories and testing fields.

01:39:54.140 In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery,

01:40:05.260 has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research.

01:40:08.680 Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.

01:40:19.240 That is, those are powerful words.

01:40:21.220 But listen, he goes on to talk about the technological revolution having its own family tree.

01:40:29.440 Listen to this.

01:40:30.020 The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by federal employment, project allocations,

01:40:36.660 and the power of money is ever-present and is gravely to be regarded.

01:40:42.540 Yet in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should,

01:40:48.580 we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive

01:40:56.560 of a scientific technological elite.

01:41:00.680 Now, listen to the last thing.

01:41:03.040 He says this is how it's all going to come together if we don't pay attention, which we didn't.

01:41:09.360 Listen.

01:41:10.080 We face a hostile ideology, global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method.

01:41:19.800 Unhappily, the danger it poses promises to be of indefinite duration.

01:41:27.760 To meet it successfully, there is call for not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis,

01:41:36.320 but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint,

01:41:43.080 the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle with liberty the stake.

01:41:49.800 We have not protected, because of the military-industrial complex bleeding into science,

01:41:58.120 science and government and the private corporations working together on money, for money,

01:42:06.820 then having to go to the educational elite.

01:42:10.540 They're just doing things, giving the government and the complex whatever answer they want,

01:42:16.680 and it's now being driven by this really hostile ideology, which you're now seeing in the Great Reset

01:42:22.940 and by oligarchs all around the world, and we've lost our place.

01:42:27.420 You see it in something simply practical that in a lot of these states where there were shutdowns,

01:42:34.140 if you had a small or family-owned business, you had to shut down.

01:42:37.820 You couldn't be, it couldn't be assumed that you could protect your clientele from COVID,

01:42:42.280 but if it was one of these big box stores with a lot more overhead and a lot more exposure, frankly,

01:42:47.480 it was assumed that they could, and they have been open the entire time.

01:42:51.140 Those are just some of the practical assumptions that are the result of the belief system he's up against.

01:42:57.460 And really what we're talking about, I describe it on my show as a spirit of the age.

01:43:01.320 It's really a rival religion. 0.80

01:43:03.000 It's almost like a modern babble.

01:43:05.820 And just like within Christianity, there's this constant tension,

01:43:09.900 God is sovereign, but we have free will.

01:43:12.540 And so we have debated those two dueling tensions within the faith for thousands of years.

01:43:17.220 They have a tension in their religion as well, which is they believe human nature is not fallen

01:43:23.020 and in need of redemption, that human nature is perfectly fine.

01:43:26.200 They're Pelagian as Hawley once pointed, Senator Hawley described it.

01:43:29.580 They're Pelagian in nature.

01:43:31.320 But then at the same time, they assert though that even human nature is basically good

01:43:35.160 and we can chart our own path and make up our own realities and moralities.

01:43:38.700 But they then say, but you don't know how to wield that basic natural freedom

01:43:43.820 unless you're guided by a higher evolved set of people that can show you how to channel that freedom

01:43:50.920 into the way that we want you to.

01:43:53.740 And so that's the tension where they believe in that.

01:43:56.240 That's why we catch them in hypocrisies all the time.

01:43:58.680 Why can I choose to get an abortion, but I can't choose whether or not to wear a mask, right?

01:44:02.540 We catch them in those kinds of hypocrisies because abortion is approved by that higher set.

01:44:09.480 Wearing a mask, you not wearing a mask, not approved by that higher set.

01:44:14.060 And so it's hypocrisy to us in their worldview, though, from the upside down,

01:44:18.780 the other side of the looking glass, Glenn, it makes perfect sense.

01:44:21.720 We approved this.

01:44:22.860 We didn't approve that.

01:44:24.520 Steve Dace, you can hear him on his podcast, wherever you get podcasts,

01:44:46.060 Our sponsor is Patriot Mobile.

01:44:48.200 Patriot Mobile.

01:44:49.060 I mean, we got to start doing business with people who are fighting with us, not against us.

01:44:53.420 We have to do business with people who believe in our morals and are building something that we all need,

01:45:00.900 like communication, not fighting against us.

01:45:03.540 But we also have to do business with people who may be doing that, but it's good, if not better,

01:45:09.220 than the alternative.

01:45:12.300 Patriot Mobile has done that.

01:45:13.760 First, they're not sending any of their money to Planned Parenthood like Verizon does.

01:45:17.560 They're on the same cell towers as everybody else.

01:45:20.620 So everybody uses the same technology, same backbone.

01:45:23.300 So you're going to get the same great coverage.

01:45:24.640 Now, they also have really good customer service, much better than the others.

01:46:14.800 Two weeks ago on TV, we talked about government and private industry coming together in the Biden administration.

01:46:22.400 We're just getting started.

01:46:23.680 Now, normally, this is about corruption.

01:46:25.660 And I believe it is still about corruption, but in a very different way.

01:46:31.180 Every time our researchers have opened a closet at the Biden White House, another special interest skeleton tumbles out.

01:46:38.180 Tonight, we're going to look at the major stakeholders who have their tentacles all over the White House and what they really want.

01:46:45.760 The new Biden administration is already showing America the natural end result that comes from decades of being dominated by special interest groups.

01:46:53.300 Eventually, you get the government beholden to these groups, and you can call those groups stakeholders.

01:47:01.500 These stakeholders have vested interest in the actions and policies of the government.

01:47:06.660 Now, you don't know who is serving who, where the head of this hydra really is.

01:47:14.300 Tonight, you don't want to miss it.

01:47:17.600 Find out who these stakeholders are, what they want, who they're working with inside the Biden administration.

01:47:23.320 9 p.m. Eastern, only on BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

01:47:28.220 We ask that you would join us.

01:47:30.360 We are headed for very, very difficult waters.

01:47:34.000 I wish I could tell you some things, but I'm not going to, because it'll only make things worse.

01:47:48.420 We're headed for very difficult waters, and we need your support at BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

01:47:57.680 Use the promo code Glenn, and you'll save 30%.

01:48:00.500 Also, you'll see this special tonight at 9 o'clock on BlazeTV.com and BlazeTV YouTube.

01:48:09.480 So make sure you watch it one way or another.

01:48:12.080 You don't want to miss tonight, and it's going to tie together several things.

01:48:16.320 It is very important that you understand and do your homework on The Great Reset.

01:48:21.880 We have a book coming out.

01:48:24.060 I'm not sure when we're going to get it out, but it's going to be soon.

01:48:27.460 We're working on it right now.

01:48:30.500 But it's a very difficult thing to understand.

01:48:33.500 You have to really pay attention to what the World Economic Forum is doing,

01:48:38.360 because they're very slippery on the way they phrase things.

01:48:44.560 They're talking about going from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism.

01:48:50.340 Well, who are the stakeholders?

01:48:52.280 They will always say it's you.

01:48:54.040 But when the push comes to shove, and they defined it yesterday on a tweet that was tagging me because it was in response of something I said yesterday,

01:49:05.740 that this is an oligarchy in the making.

01:49:09.040 And somebody at the World Economic Forum is listening to this program while they're busy in Davos to try to correct any errors.

01:49:18.760 They said, no, no, no, stakeholder capitalism is not an oligarchy.

01:49:23.060 It is a partnership with everyone.

01:49:25.840 The stakeholders are everyone.

01:49:27.400 And the people are represented by their representatives in Washington, D.C.

01:49:32.140 Well, I haven't felt my representative represented me in a very long time.

01:49:37.060 And it is a way to get the government into our businesses.

01:49:42.000 And then you'll have social and economic and ecological justice that is happening.

01:49:53.340 Let me give you a few things that happened yesterday in Davos at the World Economic Forum and when they were talking about the new Great Reset.

01:50:02.360 We don't want to return to normal.

01:50:04.460 We don't want COVID to end and for us to return to some form of status quo because it was the status quo that caught us, caused this and brought us here to our knees.

01:50:14.160 Those wishing for a return to normal must inherently wish for disease and destruction to return again and for more death in the future.

01:50:22.320 That's the secretary general of the OECD.

01:50:25.380 Let us not delude ourselves.

01:50:27.540 This from the prime minister of Spain.

01:50:29.700 There can be no social justice without tax justice, but it is time to go one step farther.

01:50:37.460 It is not enough to distribute income more fairly through taxation, but to take serious steps to ensure equal distribution of all wealth to all people, all races and all nations.

01:50:50.200 Prime minister of Spain.

01:50:52.320 Um, this comes from, uh, Alan Jope.

01:50:56.180 He is the CEO of Unilever ESG, which is environmental, social, and corporate governments programs.

01:51:03.680 Uh, ESG programs is now central to how companies interface with investors, shareholders, and the public.

01:51:11.060 At Unilever, one quarter of executive pay is directly linked to how we perform against social justice and climate issues.

01:51:20.260 Okay.

01:51:23.600 Um, let me give you one more quote.

01:51:28.720 This is from Klaus Schwab.

01:51:31.020 He's the guy who's pushing this.

01:51:32.620 Um, he's the head of the World Economic Forum.

01:51:34.700 Stakeholder capitalism is a form of capitalism in which companies seek long-term value creation by taking into account the needs of all their stakeholders, including society at large.

01:51:45.780 They don't seek profits for investors, but rather benefits for themselves and all stakeholders, including employees, customers, and all people.

01:51:54.780 Unless capitalism can guarantee equality for all people, which it cannot, it's a failed system.

01:52:02.280 Um, so what are they talking about?

01:52:05.360 Is this, is this a march to Marxism?

01:52:07.820 No, this is, this is worse.

01:52:10.020 This is worse.

01:52:11.040 This is something, uh, not new, uh, but something that the left and the right should be able to come together on.

01:52:19.540 This is an oligarchy.

01:52:21.260 Now, let me show you how it ties in to us right now.

01:52:25.920 Did you hear about President Biden's made in America executive order?

01:52:30.300 Sounds great, right?

01:52:33.380 It aims to force U.S. government agencies to work closely with U.S. businesses rather than to pay foreign businesses for goods and services.

01:52:40.960 Well, that's fantastic, right?

01:52:43.360 That's Donald Trump could have done that.

01:52:46.040 I mean, let's buy America. 0.83

01:52:47.460 If the United States government is writing the check, let's have it benefit the United States of America and all of the employees here.

01:52:56.700 I think we should favor U.S. businesses.

01:52:59.680 The U.S. spends $600 billion every year on contracts.

01:53:05.600 Let's spend that money here.

01:53:08.220 Okay, that's probably all you heard in the media.

01:53:11.680 But now let me show you the fine print.

01:53:15.360 According to the order, the Biden administration is creating the federal agency called the Made in America office.

01:53:22.920 Do you realize what the acronym is?

01:53:28.680 Made in America office.

01:53:32.180 Sorry.

01:53:32.560 Yeah.

01:53:32.840 Made in America office.

01:53:33.840 So if you take the in out, I'm assuming.

01:53:35.080 It's Mao.

01:53:36.180 Okay.

01:53:37.260 I'm going to refer to this office as Mao.

01:53:39.920 The office of Mao.

01:53:40.320 Yes.

01:53:41.140 One of the purposes of the Mao office is to force other federal departments to spend more of their money on goods and services offered by the U.S. business.

01:53:50.020 But exceptions are still permitted when appropriate.

01:53:53.620 But the Made, the Mao, will be led by the director of Made in America office.

01:54:02.400 It doesn't merely require the federal government to work more closely with U.S. businesses.

01:54:07.300 Listen carefully and tie it together with what I just told you about stakeholder capitalism.

01:54:12.240 It also mandates the government buy from businesses that promote left wing goals.

01:54:19.500 In other words, if you're not a woke business, the federal government may not be able to buy your goods and services. 0.85

01:54:25.180 Why would Unilever make, you know, social justice part of their CEO compensation?

01:54:33.560 Because if you're not engaged in social justice and climate change and critical race theory, you're not going to be able to do business.

01:54:44.860 Now, this was noted at the very end of the White House official statement about the new department.

01:54:50.000 This order is deeply intertwined.

01:54:52.340 I'm quoting with the president's commitment to invest in American manufacturing, including clean energy and critical supply chains, grow good paying union jobs and advance racial equity.

01:55:06.820 The federal government should buy from suppliers that are growing the sectors of the future and treating their workers with dignity and respect.

01:55:15.000 Yes, half of that is true.

01:55:17.600 The part about, you know, this is what companies should do.

01:55:20.140 Yes, but they are cloaking what's really happening.

01:55:24.740 This is right out of the Great Reset playbook.

01:55:27.700 You use the spending power of government to coerce businesses to pursue the left wing causes like clean energy or racial equity.

01:55:37.160 You don't have the right ratios of Hispanics to Asians, for example.

01:55:42.620 Then the federal government can't do business with you under this policy.

01:55:46.400 The same can be true for those businesses who don't rely enough on electric vehicles or that profit in some way from CO2 producing energy sources or those businesses without enough union workers.

01:56:01.240 Do you see what's happening?

01:56:03.300 The government is forcing people into this.

01:56:07.740 And the big corporations don't care.

01:56:11.680 They just don't care.

01:56:13.420 So the language of the order is so vague in the policy section that it could be interpreted to give the new Mao agency the power to deny contracts for virtually any reason.

01:56:25.820 It reads, quote, the United States government should, whenever possible, procure goods, products, materials and services from sources that will help American businesses compete in strategic industries and help America's workers thrive.

01:56:39.920 Wow, that all sounds great.

01:56:42.940 Unless you know what it really means.

01:56:48.880 Strategic industries that help America workers thrive could mean just about anything to the Mao director.

01:56:58.060 It opens the doors to all kinds of crazy policies.

01:57:02.280 Tonight, I will show you those American corporations, those coming oligarchs that have their hands all over the Biden administration and how it ties in to the Great Reset.

01:57:17.460 Tonight, don't miss it on blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:57:21.660 Use the promo code Glenn.

01:57:23.720 Please tell a friend.

01:57:25.240 This is not Marxism.

01:57:27.000 This is not socialism.

01:57:28.220 This is not communism.

01:57:30.200 It's not state capitalism.

01:57:32.400 It is stakeholder capitalism and stakeholder capitalism.

01:57:37.660 You're only represented in that if you're an investor in the company or your house of represented, your congressman, your senator, they'll represent you.

01:57:51.620 And if the government is fine with it, then you're going to be fine because you have representation.

01:57:57.840 That is nothing.

01:57:59.640 Let me quote Klaus Schwab.

01:58:03.740 Capitalism has failed.

01:58:07.000 No, it hasn't.

01:58:08.800 But we are on a whole new.

01:58:12.060 Well, we're entering a brave new world.

01:58:15.580 What if I was around the TV like an hour before your special?

01:58:19.440 Was there be anything in particular I could watch?

01:58:20.900 Not really.

01:58:21.840 No options?

01:58:22.500 I think we were on cartoons.

01:58:25.060 I mean, you're talking about 8 o'clock Eastern?

01:58:26.800 8 o'clock Eastern, yeah.

01:58:28.000 On Blaze TV?

01:58:28.480 It might be a great time to tune into Blaze TV.

01:58:30.400 Not really.

01:58:30.960 I think it's reruns.

01:58:32.360 Cartoon.

01:58:32.800 Maybe an old Western.

01:58:33.860 It's not.

01:58:34.520 It's Stu Does America.

01:58:35.740 It's going to be a great episode leading into yours.

01:58:37.780 No, I don't think so.

01:58:38.640 I think it's a Western.

01:58:39.880 What?

01:58:40.580 Yeah.

01:58:40.900 Are they not airing my show?

01:58:42.300 It's a silent Western.

01:58:43.440 Oh, okay.

01:58:43.760 What do you have on your show today?

01:58:46.420 We're actually going to the GameStop thing a little bit, which is going to be fascinating.

01:58:51.180 It's fascinating.

01:58:51.960 It's like, you know, it's going to cause a massive pushback from the Democrats on capitalism.

01:58:57.900 Regulatory.

01:58:58.460 Wait till you see.

01:58:59.320 Oh, good.

01:58:59.660 And also Biden's executive climate orders and all the craziness going on there.

01:59:04.520 So some good stuff.

01:59:05.340 Yeah, good stuff.

01:59:05.820 Also you, I think.

01:59:06.380 I think you're going to be on, which I'm excited about until this moment.

01:59:10.200 Matt Dillon is going to be the guest tonight, not me.

01:59:13.080 There are people in their cars that are like, I haven't heard Matt Dillon in a long time.

01:59:19.360 It's a very random person to be booking.

01:59:22.100 All right.

01:59:22.360 Let me tell you about Goldline.

01:59:23.460 They are offering a huge promotion on self-directed IRA acquisitions for retirement accounts right

01:59:28.920 now.

01:59:29.960 Retirement account.

01:59:30.660 You think you're fine with your retirement account.

01:59:32.820 Um, as the dollar falls, you're going to get screwed.

01:59:38.940 Because everything is every, everything that you can have a whole bunch of money, but nothing

01:59:44.380 your money will be able to buy as it starts to crash down.

01:59:48.760 Call and find out how to protect your long-term retirement portfolio with physical precious

01:59:54.700 metals.

01:59:55.100 Also Goldline is running an extremely limited inventory special on their legal tender bars.

02:00:01.160 Um, these are things that I, I worked together with Goldline and the Canadian mint to design.

02:00:06.420 Uh, I, I wanted it for my kids who were at the time kind of all over the country and we're

02:00:11.960 in New York and you know, God only knows where you're going to be.

02:00:15.000 If things break down, I wanted something that they could have in their purse or their wallet

02:00:18.980 that were actually gold, little pieces of gold that were, you know, like coins that you

02:00:25.540 would know that's from the Canadian mint 10th of an ounce coins.

02:00:29.160 It's the gold, a legal tender bar and it acts like a coin.

02:00:34.380 It's one of my favorite products.

02:00:36.020 It has been out of stock now for months and Goldline has just got the Canadian mint to mint

02:00:41.420 new limited batch of the cards, probably be sold out within the next couple of days.

02:00:46.580 On top of that, for every card purchased, you'll receive a half ounce pure silver bullion

02:00:51.840 coin at no additional cost.

02:00:53.940 Get them before they're gone this week.

02:00:56.040 They're standing by waiting to hear from you.

02:00:58.160 Call 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

02:01:05.180 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

02:01:06.920 I, I, I, I, I want to go over this GameStop thing again.

02:01:12.440 Okay.

02:01:12.740 When, when the stock was at $2 a share, right?

02:01:16.460 $2 a share.

02:01:18.440 Um, these guys on Reddit, they decided that they were going to run this up.

02:01:25.540 Now, if I did this on national radio, it would be illegal.

02:01:29.540 Uh, you can't say, Hey everybody, let's do this.

02:01:32.440 But apparently on Reddit, you can.

02:01:34.460 Yeah, it's public, usually public, openly speaking about your opinion on a stock is

02:01:39.680 fine.

02:01:40.640 Um, doing it in private venues is usually not fine.

02:01:44.660 And secondarily doing it, FCC has all sorts of laws about how you can do that.

02:01:49.600 Correct.

02:01:50.000 And it's different.

02:01:50.800 So let's say you invested in the $2 stock when everybody was on, on Reddit.

02:01:56.780 They're like, Hey, let's, let's buy this up.

02:01:58.920 And the guy, the first, he invested $50,000.

02:02:02.420 Yep.

02:02:02.820 His life savings, supposedly, uh, this guy on Reddit, and then started talking about

02:02:07.000 this, uh, theory, which has proved to be very, very accurate.

02:02:10.900 Uh, so as of yesterday, it was up to $15 million.

02:02:14.660 It was worth.

02:02:15.740 However, the stock has basically doubled today.

02:02:19.080 So it's crazy.

02:02:20.860 It's insane.

02:02:22.620 It is craziness.

02:02:23.040 You know, you're putting billionaire hedge fund investors out of business, maybe shutting

02:02:30.000 down.

02:02:30.300 There's rumors of bankruptcy of this hedge fund.

02:02:32.760 If this happens, I mean, these guys are not going to be happy and they know a lot of

02:02:35.720 people, but a few of these guys are going to get very, very wealthy off of it.

02:02:39.900 I wonder what the repercussions are going to be, not just for them, but when Democrats

02:02:43.680 start saying this can't happen, look at how bad capitalism is.

02:02:47.240 Oh yeah.

02:02:47.580 That's around the corner too.

02:02:48.760 Uh, Stu will have more on that at eight o'clock Eastern tonight on, uh, Stu does GameStop.

02:02:54.380 And tonight, my Wednesday night special immediately follows 9 PM Eastern blaze TV.

02:03:01.240 This is the Glenn Beck program.
