00:00:00.000 I want to talk to you a little bit about Rough Greens.

00:00:01.900 Last night, feeding Uno his prescription dog food, which, oh, I mean, who doesn't love that?

00:00:09.300 I mean, I wish my pharmacy could give me all of my meals.

00:00:14.220 It's the best place to eat.

00:00:15.300 It's at the doctor's office.

00:00:16.780 It is.

00:00:17.720 Put some Rough Greens on it.

00:00:19.060 He gobbles it up.

00:00:20.080 Rough Greens.

00:00:20.640 It's really good for your dog.

00:00:22.340 Has all of the vitamins and minerals and everything else they need.

00:00:39.960 It really does make a difference in your dog.

00:00:42.540 It's more than just they like to eat it.

00:00:45.300 It changes them.

00:00:47.160 It really does.

00:00:48.040 They become more active, healthier.

00:00:51.180 It's Rough Greens.

00:00:51.980 Rough Greens.com slash Beck.

00:00:53.900 833 Glenn 33.

00:00:55.520 Rough Greens.com slash Beck.

00:00:58.660 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:22.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:32.660 Hello, America, and welcome to Wednesday.

00:01:35.780 I read an article by Dee Parker yesterday, and it was the case for optimism.

00:01:42.760 Ten reasons why the pro-freedom right will defeat the anti-liberty left.

00:01:47.540 And I started reading it, and I realized, oh my gosh, this is very, very true.

00:01:54.160 And we're winning, but it's hard to see it because there's this constant stream of gloom and doom from all sides.

00:02:02.440 And we need to start looking at the things that are absolutely true that show that we are indeed winning and are on the winning side of history.

00:02:15.500 And we begin there in 60 seconds.

00:02:17.320 You know, I went back to the archives just the other day.

00:02:25.480 I was looking for, gosh, what was it I was looking for?

00:02:28.780 I was looking for something that I had said on Fox, and I wanted to get the exact wording on it.

00:02:32.780 And I found the episode where I was warning seniors of their plans that they were getting from, you know, senior citizens, travel plans. 0.97

00:02:45.940 You know, that one place that, you know, you join up when you're 50, 55 or plus.

00:02:52.400 And I was warning, and I'm like, look, you have to ask them, why are they supporting the Complete Lives Project?

00:02:59.380 Why are they doing this?

00:03:01.540 And I remembered that is when I met the people of AMAC.

00:03:06.820 They came in shortly after that, and they were saying, right, it doesn't make any sense.

00:03:11.640 They're not on the side of seniors.

00:03:14.500 And somebody's got to stand up for freedom and the right things and stop BSing our seniors.

00:03:21.240 That's when AMAC started.

00:03:23.680 I urge you now to join AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens.

00:03:29.460 They're now two plus million members strong and counting.

00:03:33.420 The benefits are great.

00:03:34.760 Insurance discounts, roadside assistance program, members only credit card, travel benefits, phone plans, dental plans, auto plans, all of that stuff.

00:03:42.360 But also, they are on the front lines fighting for the things that you fight for.

00:03:48.220 There is power in numbers.

00:03:49.720 Join AMAC for the advocacy, the benefits, and the information.

00:03:54.640 But more importantly, join AMAC because America needs all of us in the fight.

00:04:00.080 Join today at amac.us.beck.

00:04:03.280 That's amac.us.beck.

00:04:06.680 So, D. Parker wrote, The Case for Optimism, 10 Reasons Why the Pro-Freedom Right Will Defeat the Anti-Liberty Left.

00:04:19.340 He said,

00:04:20.900 The leftist enemies of freedom and civil rights are such that it makes it impossible for them to win.

00:04:27.460 And while it would be a disaster if they were to befall the planet, it would be still hard to be positive.

00:04:34.440 It is still hard to be positive when it's a steady diet of doom and gloom every day.

00:04:39.240 Every day brings yet another attack on freedom and progress from people falsely labeling themselves as liberals.

00:04:47.800 Many of these reasons for optimism of the pro-freedom right are because they are directly contrasted with the negative characteristics of the anti-liberty left.

00:04:59.360 Now, this is really important.

00:05:01.580 Do you remember years ago I talked about Martin Luther King and how he was right about a couple of things?

00:05:11.160 One was, once you have the images that people can contrast between good and evil, people will always pick good.

00:05:24.260 Americans will.

00:05:26.060 Now, that is true as long as our Judeo-Christian values are still alive in our heart.

00:05:31.860 That's why we try so hard to keep our hearts soft.

00:05:35.660 That's one of the reasons why I started Mercury One, to remind you how good it feels to do good.

00:05:43.120 And we were just reminded this summer when we went and helped people in Afghanistan, which is still going on.

00:05:49.020 We have to keep our hearts soft so we can recognize the difference between good and evil.

00:05:55.920 That's one reason why I say we can't become them and defeat them in the way they want to defeat us.

00:06:03.280 We have to go a different path.

00:06:06.880 Martin Luther King said, if you contrast the two, they will always pick, the American people will always pick good.

00:06:13.760 We didn't have the pictures of the German shepherds, you know, being sicked on blacks as they marched in Memphis.

00:06:23.800 We didn't have the fire hoses.

00:06:26.060 What we had was a group of people that we felt were Marxists.

00:06:31.700 And do you remember how they fought against that?

00:06:35.300 When Newsweek came out and said, we're all, we're all, what was it, socialists now?

00:06:41.540 We pointed that out at Fox and said, really, we are?

00:06:45.480 Because I thought you were denying that you were socialists.

00:06:48.200 Now they're saying they're out in the open.

00:06:50.340 And Barack Obama went on a big smear campaign and saying that anybody who claims that he was a Marxist or a socialist was racist.

00:07:02.260 Now they're coming out and they're embracing Marxism.

00:07:05.860 As I said to you, they want to tell you exactly what they're doing.

00:07:11.340 But they can't because the minute they do, you're on to them and you're saying, that's not me.

00:07:18.440 This is what happened in Afghanistan when Joe Biden failed miserably and then claimed it to be a victory.

00:07:29.100 Americans saw that and went, that's not us.

00:07:32.340 That's not us.

00:07:33.240 I don't recognize that those military leaders.

00:07:37.220 I don't recognize our government.

00:07:39.200 That's not who we are.

00:07:42.540 And we could contrast that with who we've always been.

00:07:47.360 Now, let me give you some of the reasons for optimism.

00:07:50.760 According to De Parker, he says, one, we're on the side of freedom.

00:07:55.740 And anti-liberty left is on the side of authoritarianism.

00:07:59.560 This is becoming more and more clear.

00:08:02.480 For instance, Chomsky was just on MSNBC a couple of days ago, and he said, people who refuse to accept vaccines, I think the right response for them is to not force them, but rather to insist that they be isolated.

00:08:20.920 If people decide I am willing to be a danger to the community by refusing to vaccinate, they should say then, well, I also have the decency to isolate myself.

00:08:31.560 I don't want the vaccine.

00:08:32.980 I don't want the right to run around harming people.

00:08:36.780 That should be convention.

00:08:38.180 Enforcing is a different question.

00:08:39.440 It should be understood, and we should try to get it to be understood if it really reaches a point where they are severely endangering people, then, of course, you have to do something about it.

00:08:48.980 So what is he what is he saying?

00:08:53.260 He's saying that there should be camps or there should be they should self-isolate in their home.

00:08:59.580 But he really means isolate, because the next question was, well, how do they purchase food?

00:09:07.740 This isn't how do they go out and work or anything else?

00:09:10.800 How do they purchase food?

00:09:15.140 Chomsky's response is telling, well, quote, actually, that's their problem, end quote.

00:09:23.920 So who is on the side of freedom and people and who is on the side of authoritarianism?

00:09:33.000 It is becoming clear that the left is authoritarianism and not because we say it, because their actions are now showing it.

00:09:45.440 Second point of optimism, we have timeless advantages.

00:09:49.880 The anti-liberty left only has short term tactics and tricks.

00:09:55.680 Well, let me give you one.

00:09:57.520 Did you see that that the military came out yesterday and said, what is it?

00:10:06.560 There are four hundred and ninety six Americans still trapped in Afghanistan.

00:10:11.600 Well, first of all, there are more than four hundred and ninety six, but that is double the amount that they said over the summer.

00:10:21.200 They said there were about two hundred.

00:10:23.840 OK, so double the amount over double the amount.

00:10:27.540 And then it later they said there was less than a hundred.

00:10:32.300 Now they're saying there's almost five hundred.

00:10:34.620 The truth is that it is much larger than five hundred could be in the thousands, one, two, three thousand could be five thousand.

00:10:46.640 Nobody really knows.

00:10:47.920 But when we said that we were called conspiracy theorists, we were called all kinds of names, unreliable.

00:10:56.120 Well, it is becoming apparent that their short term tactics and their tricks don't work.

00:11:02.840 Another example of this is, well, it's just transitory.

00:11:06.460 Don't worry about inflation.

00:11:08.000 It's just transitory.

00:11:10.400 Well, it's not transitory, is it?

00:11:12.780 Have you checked what you're paying for meat?

00:11:14.620 Have you checked what you're paying for gas?

00:11:17.020 Have you noticed how expensive almost everything is?

00:11:20.340 Did you know that this Thanksgiving, the meal that you put down, the traditional Thanksgiving meal here in America, will cost you more than it ever has in the history of our country?

00:11:35.460 That's saying something.

00:11:37.540 It's not transitory.

00:11:39.840 It is something that we should be working to solve.

00:11:44.900 All of their short term tactics and tricks, they all fail.

00:11:49.500 But we have the truth on our side.

00:11:53.500 We have mathematics on our side.

00:11:56.360 We have evidence on our side.

00:11:59.600 Three, while we can be honest, the anti-liberty left has to lie to survive.

00:12:05.880 Sanjay Gupta was a great example of this with the horse dewormer stuff.

00:12:11.460 That is a Nobel Prize winning medicine.

00:12:14.240 Yet everybody had to claim that it was horse dewormer.

00:12:19.860 Why?

00:12:20.960 To stop people from getting the stop people from getting some sort of treatment and to focus everyone on the vaccine.

00:12:31.240 We all know the truth.

00:12:34.140 The vaccine is effective.

00:12:36.400 If you want to get it, you can get it.

00:12:39.020 We also know that there are other things that will help ease the pain if you have COVID.

00:12:47.440 Horse dewormer is not one of them.

00:12:51.560 However, the Nobel Prize winning human version of that may help.

00:12:58.260 But they have to discredit everything.

00:13:02.880 January 6th.

00:13:04.900 January 6th is another case.

00:13:07.780 Why is it that they won't release all of the video?

00:13:12.540 Well, there is a really fascinating report that is out now from Revolver.

00:13:17.920 That looks like that maybe the FBI was involved in setting this up.

00:13:25.940 We'll give you that story coming up.

00:13:28.260 But they always have to lie to survive.

00:13:31.700 We can be honest.

00:13:34.160 We believe in civil liberties is number four.

00:13:38.060 They don't.

00:13:39.700 Let me again give you this.

00:13:42.000 This is the scariest thing I have heard from a government official, perhaps of all time.

00:13:47.100 And it came out of out of Rochelle Walensky's mouth.

00:13:52.800 She's the CDC director.

00:13:54.820 Last Sunday, she said there is a plan to get unvaccinated essential workers, education and counseling so they will feel comfortable getting vaccinated.

00:14:07.740 I got news for you.

00:14:09.600 I'm not getting vaccinated.

00:14:11.700 I have antibodies.

00:14:13.280 I and I am not going to go through some government education.

00:14:17.040 And I certainly will not sit down with a government sponsored therapist for counseling.

00:14:25.340 So wait a minute.

00:14:27.580 Which one of us believes in civil liberties?

00:14:30.780 Which one of us really is fighting for freedom of speech?

00:14:36.760 Which one of us is fighting for the freedom of the press?

00:14:40.100 Did you see yesterday two new people were appointed to the FCC hardline lefties?

00:14:46.580 That is going to affect my job, my voice, your ability to hear me on radio.

00:14:54.960 Mark my words.

00:14:56.700 They have to shut people down.

00:14:59.500 That's not somebody who believes in the Bill of Rights.

00:15:03.560 The fifth reason to be optimistic.

00:15:06.660 We love America.

00:15:08.280 And the average person loves America.

00:15:11.860 They do.

00:15:12.340 We have problems and we're honest about those problems.

00:15:16.760 But the anti-liberty left hates America.

00:15:21.300 Look at Colin Kaepernick.

00:15:23.460 We believe in individual rights is number six.

00:15:26.900 The anti-liberty left believes in collective rights.

00:15:31.260 Vaccines.

00:15:32.800 The mandates.

00:15:34.220 The passports.

00:15:35.120 By the way, the FDA has approved one of the vaccines for kids.

00:15:40.120 So I guarantee you the collective right of your kid and you to be the parent of your kid and decide what goes into his body and what doesn't go into their body.

00:15:51.160 You're going to lose that right if you're not standing up.

00:15:54.620 By the way, Terry McAuliffe, he doesn't mind.

00:15:59.040 You as a parent don't have a right to raise or teach your kids or question what your kids are learning in school.

00:16:05.800 Number seven is economic liberty has always worked and societal slavery of socialism has never worked.

00:16:14.860 You know, they said the model is China.

00:16:16.940 Have you seen what's happening in China lately?

00:16:20.480 Number eight, we're productive in society.

00:16:23.420 Those who believe in the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

00:16:28.360 We generally are productive in society.

00:16:32.180 Anti-liberty leftists are parasites.

00:16:36.000 Good example of this is unrealized gains.

00:16:40.320 What are unrealized gains in the stock market?

00:16:43.920 That means if you're a teacher, your teacher's union has your pension and your pension is in the stock market.

00:16:51.660 And every time the stock market goes up, you're now going to have to pay for those unrealized gains.

00:17:00.340 In other words, even if you don't pull that money out, you're going to pay to the government the privilege of that money making money.

00:17:11.840 Elon Musk just came out and said, this is insanity.

00:17:16.160 Insanity.

00:17:17.000 And it is.

00:17:17.720 You know, this goes back to their lies and their tricks.

00:17:22.300 They say they've already paid for everything.

00:17:24.860 No, they haven't.

00:17:25.700 Or they wouldn't be looking for unrealized gains.

00:17:28.160 Or if they say, no, we're not into redistributive wealth.

00:17:32.400 We're not into socialism and killing the system.

00:17:37.080 Then they wouldn't be doing this because this will hurt the stock market.

00:17:41.660 People will pull their money out of the stock market.

00:17:45.920 Why?

00:17:46.440 Because you can't afford to pay the unrealized gains without pulling the money out of the stock market.

00:17:54.460 The last one I want to hit here is pro-freedom right outnumbers the anti-liberty left.

00:18:01.720 And I'll show that to you in 60 seconds.

00:18:05.080 It is really critical right now to pay attention to your financial health.

00:18:16.060 What can you do today to guarantee a healthy financial future?

00:18:21.240 Well, there are no guarantees in anything, but you can set yourself up if you're a homeowner.

00:18:25.940 The solution may be as simple as mortgage refinancing.

00:18:29.900 The people to help is American Financing.

00:18:33.360 American Financing's mortgage consultants can customize a loan to meet your needs, however they manifest themselves.

00:18:40.320 Maybe it's a shorter term that you need or a lower rate.

00:18:44.240 Maybe it's just access to cash.

00:18:46.020 They can do all of that and more.

00:18:48.020 It's a no-pressure experience.

00:18:49.900 I don't know about you, but I could use a little less pressure right now.

00:18:55.780 And somebody who's not trying to trick me, lie to me, or take my money.

00:19:00.180 You're not going to encounter any of those things.

00:19:03.480 No upfront fees.

00:19:05.140 There's no tricks.

00:19:06.320 There's no pressure at all.

00:19:08.280 You might also be able to postpone up to two mortgage payments.

00:19:12.340 How could that help you out right now?

00:19:14.860 Consolidate your debt.

00:19:16.280 Refi your debt.

00:19:17.740 Talk to American Financing.

00:19:20.100 800-906-2440.

00:19:22.360 800-906-2440.

00:19:25.040 Americanfinancing.net.

00:19:27.280 10 seconds.

00:19:28.220 Station ID.

00:19:30.180 So, the book, Hidden Tribes, A Study of America's Polarized Landscape,

00:19:50.400 shows that the pro-freedom right outnumbers the anti-liberty left.

00:19:53.900 The hardcore left, the far left, only comprises 8% to 10% of the population.

00:20:02.980 So, why is it we feel outnumbered?

00:20:05.440 The reason why we feel outnumbered is because these 8% to 10% of Americans gravitate to culture, movies, art, newspapers, radio, not radio, but television, the cultural things that affect all of us.

00:20:27.340 The national socialist media, the government indoctrination centers, the education.

00:20:34.520 That's why this 8% to 10% can influence more than sometimes we can.

00:20:42.440 And they seem more powerful than they really are.

00:20:45.200 However, 25% were conservatives of the pro-freedom right, with the middle classified as liberals, politically disengaged, or moderates.

00:20:56.360 So, it is 8% trying to sway the rest using cultural norms.

00:21:05.200 We are 25%.

00:21:08.300 If we just get smart, we can affect and sway a lot more people.

00:21:16.620 That's why they're trying to shut anyone who is effective at it down.

00:21:21.540 That's why you don't see effective conservatives on television or anyplace else.

00:21:28.500 Nobody who is effective is going to be on Netflix or Amazon.

00:21:32.260 That's just the way it is.

00:21:36.400 However, they're doing damage.

00:21:39.520 The 8% to 10% are so far left that they are overplaying their hand.

00:21:45.140 And they're exposing themselves and exposing conservatives as the ones who had it right the whole time.

00:21:54.120 People have been buying in.

00:21:55.700 The mushy middle has been buying in that conservatives have been overreacting to these people.

00:22:00.540 That these people aren't trying to destroy the free market and drag us into an authoritarian camp.

00:22:06.740 Now, because they are so emboldened and only surrounded in those power centers by people like them,

00:22:14.780 they're exposing themselves.

00:22:17.600 And thus, they are hurting themselves.

00:22:20.300 Another reason to be optimistic.

00:22:23.880 Back in just a minute.

00:22:25.260 One of the things that this job affords and my position in my career, which I never had when I was much, much younger,

00:22:43.900 is in my position, I can pick and choose who advertises with me.

00:22:51.040 And I can cancel if they aren't who they say they are.

00:22:55.120 And I get the chance to tell you about, I think, great businesses.

00:23:56.780 Yeah, she had to come back today.

00:23:59.560 Tonight on my Wednesday night special, President Biden's radical climate agenda.

00:24:10.660 What is already in place and what is coming right around the corner.

00:24:16.260 Nothing else rivals the climate agenda with the Biden administration.

00:24:19.280 This is their top priority because it is another way to lock people into place and take your freedoms and your liberty.

00:24:28.160 The scope and the cost of this agenda is staggering.

00:24:31.800 It is the fundamental transformation of America.

00:24:35.440 It is the Great Reset.

00:24:38.620 So much about climate change, you know, net zero green energy and ESG is a total and complete scam.

00:24:46.060 Take electric vehicles, California, banning the sale of all new gas powered vehicles by 2035.

00:24:53.080 Biden signed an executive order calling for half of all new car sales to be electric by 2030.

00:25:00.080 But nobody ever goes into the fine print.

00:25:03.200 There's a 2014 study published by the National Academy of Sciences.

00:25:08.460 Hmm.

00:25:08.960 Let's follow science.

00:25:10.380 They looked into the entire life cycle of an electric vehicle and its emissions from mining the metals to making the batteries to producing the electricity to power them.

00:25:21.400 The study found that when electric vehicles are charged with coal powered electricity, they are actually worse for the environment than gas powered vehicles.

00:25:32.520 And yet the Democrats are dragging America toward electric cars that they think will run on solar and wind power.

00:25:39.180 Both have major issues of their own and they are fast tracking us to disaster.

00:25:46.280 Tonight, I want to show you exactly what they're doing, what they're planning and how going green is the biggest scam in history.

00:25:55.340 Join me tonight.

00:25:56.180 Build back bankrupt.

00:25:58.160 How Biden's climate agenda will financially ruin you.

00:26:02.780 That's tonight at 9 p.m.

00:26:05.040 Eastern on Blaze TV dot com and Blaze TV YouTube page.

00:26:10.360 Right after a brand new.

00:26:12.320 All right.

00:26:12.840 OK, we got it.

00:26:14.740 Love a beat.

00:26:16.280 Now, as we're sitting here and we're trying to rebuild a media based on the principles that our founders saw real, true freedom of the press and another almost quasi branch of the government, one that is part of the checks and balances.

00:26:37.500 I have been reading and rereading a speech from 1961 from John F.

00:26:43.680 Kennedy, he gave it at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, and he gave it to the American Newspapers Publishers Association.

00:26:51.920 He was really upset because the the coverage of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, you know, wasn't real happy towards him.

00:27:03.940 And so he came to the press and he asked them for two things, the need for greater public information and the need for far greater official secrecy.

00:27:15.380 Now, I would hope that both of those things would run almost offensive to all of us still today.

00:27:26.180 But in 61, it was big.

00:27:30.260 Kennedy conceded.

00:27:31.480 He said the two things appear to be contradictory.

00:27:34.100 Secrecy is seen, quote, as repugnant in a free society in balancing a free and open society with a cold and secret war.

00:27:44.360 He implored the audience of newsmakers or news printers when they're going to report a story, ask themselves two questions.

00:27:52.960 Is it news and also is it in the best interest of America and national security?

00:28:02.440 I would say the same thing today.

00:28:05.480 Is it news and is it in the best interest of the United States of America?

00:28:13.700 If not, why?

00:28:16.020 Because that might be something that you have to add in the story.

00:28:21.320 All right.

00:28:22.960 To hear a president give any kind of recommendation to the press back then when we had an informed populace, it went against the grain of everybody.

00:28:38.000 The press still prided itself in at least the appearance of neutrality and journalistic ethics, which are long gone.

00:28:44.600 The idea of the press concerning itself with the goals of a president was still a repugnant idea.

00:28:52.360 And Kennedy knew it.

00:28:53.760 So he padded this speech with continuous assurances that this was a request and by no means an order from the president.

00:29:03.000 He reminded the press that the press is the only industry, the only industry that is specifically referenced in the Constitution for protection.

00:29:15.040 There is nothing else that is protected by the Bill of Rights as a business other than the press.

00:29:23.060 The free flow of news, discussion, debate were so clearly necessary to a free republic, the founders explicitly protected it in the First Amendment.

00:29:35.940 And the press, the press knew that the president knew you speak to a free press or a free people with words even insinuating government interference in the free flow of information.

00:29:48.660 And you would be over, at least back in 1961.

00:29:53.940 But he was confident in his request, but cautious like a president who knew his job demanded the consent of the governed.

00:30:03.300 And that is the biggest thing that I have taken away from this.

00:30:06.440 When you listen to his speech, he knew better.

00:30:10.420 He knew better.

00:30:12.100 He joked about the press.

00:30:13.580 He gently reminded them of the sharks and muckrakers that they were.

00:30:17.940 But he spoke to the press with respect because of their role in informing the populace.

00:30:25.000 Which is a prerequisite for a functioning republic and freedom.

00:30:30.280 In a letter to Richard Price, Thomas Jefferson wrote, whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government.

00:30:36.920 That whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set things to rights.

00:30:43.900 Is that the is that the that was the message of Kennedy speech?

00:30:48.680 That's the message of Thomas Jefferson.

00:30:50.860 Is that the message of this administration or really any administration?

00:30:56.320 Do they believe that things are so far off that we should listen to the people because the people will set things right?

00:31:06.540 Or are they doing everything to shut the people down and tell the people you can't fix this?

00:31:13.540 We are the ones that can fix it.

00:31:16.280 It can fix it.

00:31:17.040 In the end of his speech, Kennedy really reflects almost almost exactly the sentiments and words of Thomas Jefferson.

00:31:27.320 I am not asking your newspapers to support an administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people.

00:31:39.060 For I have complete confidence.

00:31:45.540 And the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.

00:31:50.500 OK, he goes on to ask the press to point out his errors, saying this.

00:31:55.640 Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed and no republic can survive.

00:32:04.680 That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.

00:32:12.940 And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment.

00:32:16.760 Isn't this amazing?

00:32:17.740 Are you hearing anyone saying that full-throated debate?

00:32:24.940 Debate must happen.

00:32:26.840 You're being shouted down if you disagree.

00:32:29.640 You are being fired if you disagree.

00:32:33.140 Here's Kennedy saying this is a freedom that everyone has and no republic will survive without it.

00:32:41.020 It's the people's best judgment, not his.

00:32:45.160 Back then, the president still believed in the American people.

00:32:49.400 He believed that given all of the information, the American people would make the right choices and the government would follow the people.

00:32:57.620 This is completely different than today.

00:33:01.400 Because today, they don't believe in you.

00:33:07.920 They believe the press's job is not to let the facts lay where they are, just state the facts and let the people decide.

00:33:18.160 Instead, our leaders are saying this today.

00:33:22.600 Do you think you need to do a better job at messaging and going forward?

00:33:27.160 How do you sell this if ultimately you have to buy it?

00:33:29.700 Well, I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you.

00:33:33.500 Wow.

00:33:34.720 So their job now is to sell it.

00:33:37.720 Let me give you a couple of other examples here.

00:33:41.780 The supply chain.

00:33:44.380 The media is now turning, not on Biden, on the supply chain.

00:33:49.040 They are now blaming you on the supply chain.

00:33:55.080 Let me give you a couple of examples.

00:33:56.560 The Atlantic.

00:33:57.140 Supply chain problems could be solved more quickly if affluent Americans would stop buying things they don't need or often don't really want.

00:34:05.480 I don't know the last time I bought things that I didn't really want.

00:34:08.660 Instead of questioning the Biden administration, they are they're not asking about the cargo ships, the unions, the talk workers.

00:34:21.160 They're not asking about any of that.

00:34:23.520 They're not informing you.

00:34:25.300 They are blaming you.

00:34:27.520 Vox said affluent consumers need to abandon their Christmas gift owners orders and the thoughtless buying that they do to prioritize saving the environment.

00:34:42.480 OK.

00:34:44.100 All right.

00:34:44.720 So it's your fault.

00:34:46.500 Let me give you this.

00:34:47.480 This came from U.S.

00:34:50.540 National News and PolitiFact.

00:34:52.940 Miscaptioned images of empty grocery store shelves are unrelated to current global supply chain shortages.

00:35:00.080 Multiple fact checkers report.

00:35:02.860 So they were talking about people who were taking pictures of empty shelves and they're saying these are from other countries.

00:35:09.840 These are from storms.

00:35:11.800 You can't believe any of those.

00:35:14.180 So last week I asked you, give me the date, give me the place and show me the empty shelves because the press is saying they don't exist.

00:35:25.840 Let's bring up some of the pictures.

00:35:28.020 We have pictures.

00:35:29.360 This is from Mansfield, Ohio.

00:35:32.000 We're experiencing temporary shortages on select products due to supply chain issues.

00:35:37.500 We thank you in advance for understanding showing the empty shelves.

00:35:41.200 Let's go to the next one.

00:35:42.860 This is from Walmart.

00:35:44.820 Look at the empty shelves.

00:35:47.380 Another one.

00:35:49.420 Empty shelves.

00:35:50.660 Here's another.

00:35:52.020 Empty shelves.

00:35:53.320 Next.

00:35:53.880 Empty shelves.

00:35:55.000 Empty shelves.

00:35:56.500 Let's go to Florida.

00:35:58.580 I'm in Florida where ports are open.

00:36:00.360 Toiletries, liquids and specialty products all look like this.

00:36:04.540 Empty shelves.

00:36:06.620 Next.

00:36:07.900 More.

00:36:09.400 Empty shelves.

00:36:10.960 More again.

00:36:11.800 In Pennsylvania.

00:36:13.420 I want to show you the meat market in Pennsylvania.

00:36:18.080 This, the first one, go back one.

00:36:20.220 Yeah, there it is.

00:36:20.800 That one.

00:36:21.260 The meat market.

00:36:22.600 Look how much is empty.

00:36:24.640 In Houston, Texas.

00:36:26.040 This is the H-E-B on San Felipe.

00:36:29.660 Woman at the, and by the way, if you're not from Houston, I did pronounce that right.

00:36:33.580 The woman at the deli counter said there's a food shortage coming.

00:36:38.380 She said, food shortage coming.

00:36:40.040 It's already here.

00:36:41.720 Look at that.

00:36:42.600 Again, a closer look at it.

00:36:45.860 This is in South Carolina.

00:36:47.940 The meat.

00:36:50.500 Again.

00:36:51.100 Look at the empty shelves.

00:36:53.940 Look at the empty shelves then of the eggs and the milk.

00:36:57.300 In Gilbert, Arizona.

00:36:59.080 Same situation.

00:37:02.480 It doesn't look like America, does it? 0.94

00:37:04.260 It does not look like America. 0.68

00:37:06.520 And that's why the press is covering.

00:37:10.300 But that's not what the press is supposed to do.

00:37:15.320 Kennedy could have berated reporters for hard questions.

00:37:18.800 Threatened them with disinformation labels to silence their opinions.

00:37:22.960 He could have shamed the news media for sharing information that compromised his agenda.

00:37:28.940 He could have chosen not to believe in the American system or the American people.

00:37:33.660 But Kennedy didn't.

00:37:35.760 And you can hear in this speech that he is upset with the media.

00:37:38.580 You can tell.

00:37:40.300 But he knew his limits.

00:37:42.480 He knew he didn't have the authority to stifle the free press.

00:37:45.940 He couldn't sell censorship to free people.

00:37:49.080 They would have his head.

00:37:51.860 Kennedy knew he couldn't get away with that.

00:37:54.340 The press wouldn't let him.

00:37:56.560 The American people wouldn't let them.

00:37:59.960 So what did the left do?

00:38:02.520 They captured the universities.

00:38:05.040 And they started teaching the press new things.

00:38:11.940 Our press has forgotten who they are a long time ago.

00:38:14.960 They forgot their job.

00:38:16.220 Which is to inform the electorate in an effort to preserve our republic.

00:38:22.180 They don't inform.

00:38:24.400 They instruct.

00:38:25.260 They shape.

00:38:26.180 They suppress information.

00:38:28.820 But let me ask you this.

00:38:31.400 Did we forget who we are now, too?

00:38:33.600 The fact that Kennedy spoke with so much attentiveness to our rights and freedoms was as much a reflection of the American people at the time as it was a respect for the institutions.

00:38:46.080 He knew he needed the consent to govern.

00:38:50.440 We let our politicians get away with everything.

00:38:53.440 They bully our press, subdued debate.

00:38:55.860 They partner with social media, crack down on information they don't like.

00:38:59.980 They are mocking us, saying it's not about freedom.

00:39:03.300 It's not about freedom.

00:39:05.220 Government has forgotten they need our consent.

00:39:08.360 But is it better or worse that we forgot it, too?

00:39:14.380 More in a minute.

00:39:16.080 Let me tell you about CarShield.

00:39:18.960 When you're sitting there in the front office of the mechanic shop reading the estimate for how much it's going to take to fix your car and trying all your tears with the money that you're about to give them, there are three words that are going to come to mind.

00:39:31.540 Let's go, Brandon.

00:39:34.760 And you'd be right to think that.

00:39:36.600 But there are three words that could probably fit even better.

00:39:39.480 Should have gotten CarShield. 0.70

00:43:50.740 She said my wiener dog, Odie, is 15 years old and up until recently, she would not eat dog food at all.

00:43:58.100 I know.

00:43:58.940 I had a dachshund and they'll eat anything besides their food, usually.

00:44:07.540 Only human food would do.

00:44:09.020 That's the way my dog was, too.

00:45:23.880 Azra Nomani is with us.

00:45:26.380 And hopefully, I think you have some good news for us, Azra.

00:45:30.500 Oh, yes.

00:45:32.120 I hope everyone's strapped in.

00:45:34.180 Yeah, good.

00:45:34.780 Good.

00:45:35.380 I'm ready to hear some good news.

00:45:37.720 What is happening on the school board front?

00:45:41.320 Well, what's fantastic is that we have this mama bear revolution just, you know, coming up in school districts around the country.

00:45:50.900 And we have made the school board association back down from their threat against our parents.

00:45:58.660 Of course, they issued an apology to their own members Friday night, one of those Friday night missives that they hope will get ignored.

00:46:06.040 But they don't realize we're all home because our kids are home, right?

00:46:09.820 We're paying attention to everything.

00:46:12.360 You know, I don't think they got the memo or they forgot that little point about moms having eyes in the back of our heads.

00:46:19.320 Yes.

00:46:19.920 Glenn, like you're an investigator.

00:46:22.400 You're a researcher.

00:46:23.360 But you don't even have anything on a mom, right?

00:46:26.180 Oh, no.

00:46:26.940 Uh-uh.

00:46:27.340 You really don't.

00:46:28.640 You really don't.

00:46:30.020 And once, so, you know, we've got these mama bears. 1.00

00:46:32.600 And I think we all grew up reading a little Nancy Drew because we know how you got to follow the money.

00:46:40.140 You have to find out the truth.

00:46:42.400 We don't accept white lies, right?

00:46:44.720 We don't accept this kind of nonsense.

00:46:46.940 And so what we were able to do last week was, you know, earlier we established really clearly that the attorney general had a conflict of interest with his son-in-law running a company that profits off of school board decisions, a company called Panorama Education.

00:47:03.500 And then with this great work that our mom-in-chief at Parents Defending Education did, she sent Freedom of Information Act requests to every single member of the National School Board Association's Board of Directors.

00:47:19.740 And they are all school board officials.

00:47:23.200 So they're, as you know, their emails are open to public scrutiny.

00:47:28.720 And so in those emails, we got evidence that the School Board Association interim director, Chip Slavin, acknowledged that he'd been in talks with the White House for, quote, several weeks before he issued the letter asking for intervention from the Justice Department.

00:47:48.580 And voila, you've got this, you know, this completely cooked up campaign then against parents.

00:47:55.500 So there's something new as well.

00:48:01.820 There is a new member to the National Assessment Governing Board.

00:48:09.360 Are you aware of this?

00:48:10.740 Oh, yeah.

00:48:11.460 Yeah.

00:48:12.000 So she was the co-signer on this letter calling for help from the White House.

00:48:18.700 And Ms. Garcia's name, and she is the president of the National School Board Association.

00:48:26.960 And so conveniently, she was named by the education secretary, as we know, a political appointee in the Biden administration, to this much coveted role, you know, that now has oversight over school assessments and does a report card every year.

00:48:44.720 And again, bringing it back to the money, the industry that has emerged over the last several years, particularly of this thing called education technology, hinges its work on assessments.

00:49:03.720 And they cook the books many times, like it's very, very, you know, dubious.

00:49:11.800 Some of their evidence base, it's really not evidence based, but it's very important that we look at, understand that these government appointments help private industry and in some cases, not for profits that are actually working for profit.

00:49:30.440 Got another headline for you, Glenn, because I know you love breaking news.

00:49:35.400 Chip Slavin, the, I was just up late last night investigating this, but Chip Slavin, the interim president for the National School Board Association, he is actually, has been an advisor to an education technology company.

00:49:53.400 And that company, and that company has, its founder is the chair of the commission that Garcia was appointed to.

00:50:06.180 You've got to be kidding me.

00:50:08.020 Yeah, I knew you'd get it.

00:50:08.500 I mean, this is just so incestuous.

00:50:13.100 Yeah, I knew you would understand.

00:50:14.920 You, I can see your mind working, connecting the dots and understanding exactly what I just told you.

00:50:21.060 So, so, yeah, it's incestuous and it's everything, it's just traditional, like gumshoe reporting that we have to do on this.

00:50:29.100 And we have to remember always that school system that has your child walking through its doors is part of an industry.

00:50:37.840 Like we have to always put now incorporated, you know, behind every, like it's Fairfax County Public Schools Incorporated.

00:50:46.940 It really is, it's, it's really disgusting that they hide behind these are public schools and we hate corporations.

00:50:55.500 Because as we saw with Common Core, a lot of the goals that are being set now by these corporations in the guise of helping students is just to make better workers for those corporations.

00:51:13.320 Yeah, better workers and then also build a market, right?

00:51:20.540 Yes.

00:51:20.760 Building a market.

00:51:21.740 So, this is the rest of the story that I definitely want to make sure that you, we get time to talk about.

00:51:29.180 So, so for the last four months, I've filed 200 plus FOIAs with the public school systems in America.

00:51:38.680 And we created something that we've called the Consultant Report Card.

00:51:43.220 And the last time I was on, I promised your listeners that I'm going to give them a top 10 list of companies to look for in their school district.

00:51:51.520 Okay.

00:51:51.700 We've got it.

00:51:52.700 Go to defendinged.org and look for the Consultant Report Card.

00:51:57.380 And one of the first blogs that we've got, their blog post is the list of the top 10.

00:52:03.120 But, but then beyond that, we've identified 200 plus companies and consultants that have raised over $20 million in contracts that we've documented.

00:52:16.940 And, and you know, Glenn, this is just tip of the iceberg.

00:52:18.780 Oh, yeah.

00:52:19.220 So, and of course, and the number one company is Panorama Education.

00:52:24.560 And so, yeah.

00:52:26.060 And so right now we just dropped a piece in Real Clear Education that I want everyone to look at.

00:52:32.120 Like go to my Twitter thread and I'll, I'll, I'll tag you on it also.

00:52:35.700 But everyone needs to know, like this company Panorama Education as an example, they are using something called social and emotional learning to data mine your kids and psychologically profile them.

00:52:51.840 And we have an example in our column today that I co-wrote with my colleague Erica Sanzi where you can see to nine students in Portland Public Schools in one particular school that one boy said that he was gay.

00:53:06.840 Like, do I need to know, like, do I need to know that information?

00:53:09.320 No.

00:53:09.820 Does a company in Boston need to know that information?

00:53:12.560 No.

00:53:13.140 And guess what?

00:53:14.020 They also are surveying the parents.

00:53:16.740 So I know now, and you know now, all you got to do is Google Portland Public Schools and Panorama Screener survey results.

00:53:24.860 And you will know how many parents self-identify as questioning, as non-binary, as transgender, and then heterosexual since, you know, they count too.

00:53:36.900 And this is all being done by the school district?

00:53:41.520 Yes.

00:53:42.120 So what is happening is the school district, this big enterprise, is outsourcing to these contractors like Panorama Education this work.

00:53:51.820 And what we found in Fairfax County, Virginia, is that they are able to bypass all these privacy laws that are put in place to protect our young people by, you will not believe this, they put into the contract that Panorama Education officials are deemed school officials.

00:54:15.280 And that's how they get access to the information.

00:54:18.160 Let me go back to the school board association, the national school board association.

00:54:22.860 We have Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Ohio now dropping out and saying we don't want anything to do with the national school board association because of the letter.

00:54:35.420 Now with the news, not only of the letter, but the collusion with the White House and the money that is being made, and I think it was a letter to protect that money to the attorney general.

00:54:56.100 Why aren't more state school board associations pulling out of the national school board association?

00:55:07.160 Yes.

00:55:07.600 So these are the ones that have pulled out, as you said, but our number now is at 21 states out of 50, right, that have distanced themselves and reprimanded the national school board association for their letter.

00:55:22.420 So this is like, why wouldn't, why wouldn't they, why wouldn't they pull out though?

00:55:27.320 Why would they, why are they just saying, Hey, this is about, what do they get from the national school board association?

00:55:33.140 Yeah, you know, Glenn, it's the same machine, right, that Washington trade groups pull on state organizations or, or as you know, like we do this in industry, we do it in public, public office, like this is our public roles, like this is why the teachers union has such power, right?

00:55:54.640 As a national, like they claim to represent the state and this, these are, I pulled the 990 on the national school board association.

00:56:04.360 It's a multimillion dollar, uh, nonprofit, quote unquote, nonprofit.

00:56:09.040 Right.

00:56:09.660 Um, and they, you know, they get, they, this, they just tell these, uh, these, uh, local folks, as you know, oh, we're going to represent you in Washington.

00:56:18.980 We're going to lobby for you.

00:56:20.260 We're going to get, um, you know, you know what they do, like they get their, their, the language and the appropriation language.

00:56:26.080 They get money funneled to the States with whatever, you know, shenanigans they're trying to pull in DC.

00:56:32.020 They claim that they can do it better.

00:56:34.140 I have to tell you, I, uh, if you are a, uh, parent, you should go to your local school board and demand that they send the message to the state school board.

00:56:46.520 You don't want anything to do with the national school board association.

00:56:49.920 This is obviously corrupt.

00:56:52.040 You now have two people, uh, that you can point to directly, uh, that are part of this incestuous, uh, I don't even a cabal, uh, that is his silencing parents and, uh, mining our children.

00:57:10.140 You've got to get away from the national school board association.

00:57:14.880 And no matter if they, you really think that they're doing things, they must be taught a lesson.

00:57:20.520 And that lesson will only be taught when they lose everything.

00:57:25.360 They have to lose everything.

00:57:28.320 Nikki, um, our president put it really well yesterday when we were just chatting and she said, you know, they need a house cleaning and that house cleaning.

00:57:35.660 It's only going to happen when the states revolt, basically.

00:57:39.600 Yes.

00:57:40.020 And they say that we will not participate in this war that you have launched against the very people in our communities that we were elected to represent.

00:57:49.740 I only have about a minute left.

00:57:51.180 FDA advisors recommend Pfizer's vaccine now for, uh, children ages five to 11.

00:57:57.040 You know, now that is coming to, as a mandate to our kids, this is not going to help calm parents.

00:58:07.240 Yeah.

00:58:08.060 You know, Glenn, I have a 19 year old and I just thank the heavens that I don't have to take that decision that the parents of these young kids are having to navigate right now.

00:58:20.580 Um, we have really failed our society and on this public health message.

00:58:25.840 We, we, turning it into edicts and directives and, you know, much, much, um, much like the, this, you know, top down on school boards, you know, and trying to silence us as parents.

00:58:38.760 Um, and so just, uh, what we encourage is please everyone, whatever position you have, advocate, you know, just you are the voices of your children.

00:58:49.980 And whatever conclusion you come to from that place of reason and love that you have as a parent, please like overcome any fears that you have and look at, watch the videos of school board meetings.

00:59:04.320 It was, you know, yesterday we spent the night all watching Loudoun County and it, and I, I don't want to drop that bomb in the last seconds of our conversation, but, but it's all indicative that like, it just takes one parent, you know, in every situation, one parent encourages contagious.

00:59:20.600 Thank you so much, uh, Ezra, I appreciate it.

00:59:23.860 We'll talk to you again.

00:59:25.160 Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins book.

00:59:27.580 I want to read you something that, uh, Paul in Pennsylvania wrote in recently.

00:59:31.360 He and his wife said they felt like salmon swimming upstream when it comes to passing their values and beliefs onto their 11 year old son.

00:59:38.940 Everything is so crazy and they are constantly trying to capture his mind and his heart against really everything the family believed in.

00:59:48.440 So Paul's been reading his son, the Tuttle Twins books that I've been talking to you about.

00:59:53.180 This is what he wrote that I thought was really important.

00:59:56.320 It's, it's a blessing to have our values reflected by another voice.

01:00:01.980 That is true.

01:00:05.100 So true.

01:00:06.140 And your voice, you are not alone.

01:00:09.620 You are in the majority.

01:00:11.060 There is strength in numbers and more strength in education, especially if you can make it fun and interesting.

01:00:17.980 And the Tuttle Twins books do both.

01:00:20.400 Tuttle Twins, they are an absolute household staple.

01:00:24.800 You need them in your home.

01:00:26.740 Um, we can't lose this generation and you have to plant these things deep in them.

01:00:33.920 And Tuttle Twins is the best way to do it. 0.99

01:01:01.660 10 seconds.

01:01:02.400 Station ID.

01:01:15.500 So there is a, another story.

01:01:19.540 Um, you know, the FDA is saying that Pfizer's COVID-19, uh, clinical trial went well, blah, blah, blah.

01:01:28.140 But there were only, I think like 1,500 kids.

01:01:31.860 I thought it was 2,000 and something like that.

01:01:33.420 2,000.

01:01:34.320 So there is a problem with one of the 12 year olds, uh, Maddie.

01:01:39.720 She got a clinical trial for COVID-19.

01:01:44.260 Uh, the parents thought they were doing the right thing.

01:01:46.680 Maddie, previously healthy, energetic, full of life.

01:01:50.060 Within 24 hours of her second dose was reduced to crippling, screaming induced pain that landed her in the emergency room where she described feeling like someone was ripping her heart out through her neck.

01:02:02.320 This according to her parents over the next several months, the nightmare continued during which Maddie was hospitalized several times and suffered numerous systematic injuries or systemic injuries, uh, requiring a tube through her nose that carries her food and medicine and a wheelchair.

01:02:19.480 They document, the parents documented all of this, uh, the, uh, principal, uh, investigator for Pfizer at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, uh, where the vaccine clinical trial was occurring and Maddie was treated and admitted.

01:02:32.700 They first tried to treat Maddie as a mental patient saying that this was all in her head.

01:02:38.960 Then they claimed that whatever it was, was unrelated to the vaccine.

01:02:43.700 Uh, when that argument failed, Pfizer listed this traumatic adverse event, uh, as functional abdominal pain when reporting it to the FDA.

01:02:53.980 There are, uh, there, there was a, a real effort to cover this up by the FDA.

01:03:02.800 I'm not saying that the FDA is evil and there's no reason to get this and it's a dangerous drug.

01:03:10.840 I'm just saying we have to be careful.

01:03:14.160 It is our children we're talking about, not us and not those of us who are older and are most likely to die from COVID.

01:03:23.960 It's our children.

01:03:25.460 Be careful and do all of your research.

01:03:29.220 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:00.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:03.700 Welcome.

01:05:04.100 Tonight, at 9 p.m., it is a very important episode of our Wednesday night special.

01:05:14.240 It is President Biden's radical climate agenda.

01:05:17.780 What's already in place?

01:05:19.600 What's right around the corner?

01:05:21.700 Nothing else rivals the climate agenda within the Biden administration.

01:05:26.520 This is their main priority.

01:05:29.180 It is going to cripple us.

01:05:32.620 Honestly, it is why we are having high prices with gas right now.

01:05:38.340 That's their climate agenda.

01:05:40.240 They canceled the Keystone pipeline because they don't want to have, you know, us using fossil fuels and oil and coal.

01:05:50.000 And so what are they doing?

01:05:51.760 They canceled and fired everybody on the pipeline, shut that thing down, and our prices started to go up.

01:05:59.780 We're no longer energy independent.

01:06:03.540 That's why the White House is having to beg OPEC to open up and sell us more oil because they want them to do it, not us. 0.96

01:06:12.460 And in doing so, putting the climate at risk by shipping it overseas.

01:06:16.740 This is not going to get better because they are causing it intentionally.

01:06:23.740 Do you remember when Barack Obama said, you know, $5 a gallon gasoline would be a good thing?

01:06:28.640 Mm-hmm.

01:06:29.160 Okay.

01:06:29.360 I mean, they want gas prices to be through the roof.

01:06:34.340 That way, they can get you to buy an electric car.

01:06:37.040 The problem with electric cars is if you're getting your energy through fossil fuels, a.k.a. coal, you're doing more damage to the planet than you are having a gasoline engine-powered car.

01:06:54.880 And if it's not coal, it's likely going to be natural gas, which is also a fossil fuel, as some people might know.

01:07:02.020 And they are cutting down on natural gas as well.

01:07:05.920 They want to make sure that we stop with natural gas.

01:07:08.600 That is one of the reasons why your fuel for your home to keep it warm.

01:07:15.280 It's already snowing in some parts of the country, so you're already starting to see this.

01:07:19.420 But your energy price to keep your heat going this winter is going to be anywhere from 50% to 80% higher than it was last year.

01:07:32.620 So it doesn't, I mean, look, this is the climate agenda.

01:07:37.520 It is the new normal that they talk about.

01:07:40.200 You're not going back unless these things are stopped.

01:07:44.300 I want to show you what they're doing tonight, what they're planning, and how going green is the biggest scam in American history.

01:07:51.980 Tonight, Build Back Better Bankrupt, how Biden's climate agenda is going to financially ruin you.

01:07:59.160 I want more alliteration in this title.

01:08:01.120 Do you?

01:08:01.460 More.

01:08:01.880 Good.

01:08:02.180 I got it.

01:08:02.680 I got it.

01:08:03.080 I could do it.

01:08:03.720 I want it to be like seven B words in a row.

01:08:05.860 Uh-huh.

01:08:06.780 Tonight, I've got a B word for you.

01:08:08.780 Tonight, 9 p.m.

01:08:10.200 Eastern, BlazeTV.com and BlazeTV YouTube.

01:08:13.360 By the way, did you see the New York Times?

01:08:16.620 I think it was the Daily Podcast where they're like, how did one senator blow up Joe Biden's climate plan?

01:08:24.940 Well, he worked with 50 other senators.

01:08:26.560 That's how he did it.

01:08:27.340 He agreed with 50 other ones.

01:08:28.840 So there's 51.

01:08:29.740 That's how he did it.

01:08:30.400 I know.

01:08:30.840 This is not a mystery.

01:08:32.580 I know.

01:08:32.900 And they came out, and I think it was Bernie Sanders who said, one senator.

01:08:37.560 This is not right.

01:08:39.220 One senator is not going to go against the 49.

01:08:44.440 49 to 1?

01:08:45.520 That's not right.

01:08:46.340 No.

01:08:46.680 It was 51.

01:08:48.260 52, really?

01:08:49.520 52 to 48.

01:08:52.240 That's what it was.

01:08:53.140 Yes.

01:08:53.460 And by the way, you need 60 in any normal circumstance.

01:08:56.680 Crazy.

01:08:57.000 But you're already bending the rules to get to 50, and you can't even get that because your plan is insane.

01:09:02.180 So can I ask you, is there a bigger hero than Inez Cantor right now?

01:09:07.880 Oh, yeah.

01:09:08.880 I mean, this guy, I don't know if you've been following while you've been gone, but he doubled down again yesterday.

01:09:15.920 He's been going after China and Nike.

01:09:19.280 And by the way, this is truly very brave.

01:09:23.700 Very brave.

01:09:24.020 I'm so sick of hearing, oh, they're so brave.

01:09:26.820 They came out for the Biden administration.

01:09:29.320 Wow, the bravery.

01:09:30.260 Yeah, the bravery, and they came against white people. 0.97

01:09:32.580 Wow, so brave, so brave.

01:09:34.120 No, it's not.

01:09:35.040 Yeah, like Kyrie Irving was the bravest guy on the planet when he was basically recommending that the NBA shut down over the George Floyd protests.

01:09:42.680 Yeah, very brave.

01:09:43.220 But now that he doesn't want to get his vaccine, he's not brave at all.

01:09:46.300 He's not brave for avoiding $35 million of salary that he could have because he doesn't want to get the vaccine.

01:09:52.980 That's not brave.

01:09:53.620 That's just silly.

01:09:54.880 It was brave when he didn't want to play because of George Floyd.

01:09:57.640 Well, I will tell you this.

01:09:59.320 It is the white man that is pushing the vaccine, the very old white man in Washington, and he's going to lose $34 million.

01:10:06.640 It's true.

01:10:06.920 Maybe it's a racist thing.

01:10:07.780 Yeah, it is a racist thing.

01:10:08.960 Of course it is.

01:10:10.220 So anyway, yesterday he comes out and says, dear Nike, stop modern day slavery now.

01:10:17.800 Then he challenged Nike founder Philip Knight, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan's brand to visit these slave labor camps, and you'll see it with your own eyes. 0.82

01:10:30.900 He tweeted a pair of shoes covered in fake blood with the words, slave labor and hypocrite Nike.

01:10:36.760 I love this.

01:10:39.140 Then he tweets to the owner of Nike, Phil Knight.

01:10:43.020 How about I book a book plane tickets for us?

01:10:46.100 Let's fly to China together.

01:10:47.660 We can try to visit these slave labor camps.

01:10:50.360 You'll see it with your own eyes.

01:10:53.220 Everyone's welcome to come.

01:10:54.720 See, the problem.

01:10:55.540 The problem is, you might fly together, but only he comes back.

01:11:01.680 You're not coming back.

01:11:03.000 Yeah.

01:11:03.220 You don't want to visit China right now.

01:11:05.040 You would be the last person that I would go to China with.

01:11:08.360 It would not work out well for you.

01:11:10.160 It's about time somebody called out LeBron James, too, on this.

01:11:12.860 I'm excited to see that.

01:11:14.300 He's been doing that as well.

01:11:15.720 And it's like, oh, he deserves every little bit of it.

01:11:17.840 You know?

01:11:18.280 I mean, I think this is turning.

01:11:19.980 I really do.

01:11:20.580 I think the tide is turning.

01:11:22.060 It's still early.

01:11:22.980 And we got a lot of work to do.

01:11:26.120 But people are starting to wake up.

01:11:30.160 And I think it's turning.

01:11:34.540 You know, I don't know that it's interesting.

01:11:37.400 I think there is a group of people in our society, which I don't know what the percentage is.

01:11:42.200 You said, what was it, 8% to 10% of the far left?

01:11:44.860 Yeah, the crazy left.

01:11:45.680 I think it's a small percentage of people who believe this nonsense, who want.

01:11:49.420 And what did the professor say the other day, that scientific rigor was just an artifact of the white-run society? 0.99

01:12:01.680 And it's like, no one actually believes that, right?

01:12:05.740 I mean, there may be five people in academia who think that only white people actually are smart enough to participate in scientific rigor.

01:12:14.580 But that's a racist standpoint.

01:12:17.240 It's a very racist standpoint.

01:12:18.720 All of this, I think, is very racist.

01:12:20.540 Yeah, that's what I mean.

01:12:21.140 I think, like, when it comes to the CRT stuff, when it comes to the gender craziness, when it comes to acting like we should ban and punish teams for criticizing Chinese death camps. 0.59

01:12:38.380 Like, 99%, 95%, I don't know what it is.

01:12:43.160 It's something like that.

01:12:44.180 The American people inherently know that that's terrible.

01:12:47.520 And you made the point earlier of when people see the side-by-side, they start to choose correctly.

01:12:56.380 When one side is, let's punish dad for complaining at a school board meeting because his daughter was raped by someone in a skirt in the girl's restroom.

01:13:12.100 I mean, that is just like, this stuff is so far and you hate to see the need for examples like this.

01:13:18.560 But when people see these examples, they can't help but choose correctly, I think.

01:13:23.020 Well, so what's going to happen with McAuliffe?

01:13:24.960 Because, you know, he not only is tied right directly into all of the stuff of the school board, he's tied now into the statement that I don't think Virginians took very well with Barack Obama over the weekend.

01:13:37.880 You know, that this is, you know, rape is just hype. 1.00

01:13:40.820 It's nonsensical to talk about that, really?

01:13:43.160 Yeah, that's a fake culture war battle, or is it really?

01:13:46.320 It sounds pretty serious to me.

01:13:47.700 So I don't think that's going to go well for him.

01:13:50.400 But this thing is so close.

01:13:52.440 It's close because this is a blue state.

01:13:55.160 Virginia is not even a purple state.

01:13:56.680 People keep calling it a purple state.

01:13:58.380 Occasionally, Republicans get close in these races, but it's been a while here.

01:14:02.380 And, you know, this is a plus 10 Biden state.

01:14:05.240 And if you view it through that prism, you should see McAuliffe, who's already been governor of the state, right, should win this by 10 or 12, right?

01:14:16.200 Maybe eight.

01:14:17.080 But every poll is showing that this is basically a toss up at this point.

01:14:21.400 Now, at the end of the day, you're in a state that is blue, just like we were in a state in California that is blue.

01:14:29.340 And while it looked like Elder had a chance there maybe a few weeks before the election and it was kind of close, there was never a, I don't think a, it never got over 20% on predicted to win that race.

01:14:41.600 I don't understand.

01:14:42.320 Here, this is a, I think this is a, this is a closer one.

01:14:45.640 If McAuliffe wins this race by two, this is a terrifying outcome for Democrats.

01:14:52.300 And I think one of the things you talk about trying to stop this multi-trillion dollar spending bill, there's a lot of ways you can try to do it.

01:15:00.600 You can call your congressman, man, sure, that's a great idea.

01:15:02.580 There's a lot of things you can do.

01:15:03.480 But if there's any way you can participate in helping make Terry McAuliffe a loser in this race, you want to stop that bill, you will terrify Democrats if McAuliffe loses that race.

01:15:15.500 Well, they didn't, it didn't last time.

01:15:19.380 I mean, the last time when we had the Tea Party movement, that didn't really terrify the Democrats.

01:15:24.440 I mean, you had the biggest wave election you've ever seen.

01:15:27.260 Now, they had, they had already pushed through their big proposals there at that time.

01:15:33.760 And that was part of the reason it was the biggest wave election we'd ever seen.

01:15:36.580 But you had all those local elections the year before, just like this, that went away from the Democrats and the Democrats didn't flinch.

01:15:43.860 They did push that one through.

01:15:45.520 And look, I think they will try, there still will be a lot of them.

01:15:48.800 They also had 60 senators for that race. 0.98

01:15:51.660 They didn't need, this is like, they have no margin for error here.

01:15:56.580 And already you have multiple senators who don't want to go along with this. 0.50

01:16:00.660 I mean, I think both Sinema and Manchin realize they're, they're putting themselves in danger if they, if they go ahead with this before this, this bill cannot pass.

01:16:10.420 It can't pass because so many things that are required for, you know, the great reset are in this bill.

01:16:20.760 And it just can't pass, just cannot pass.

01:16:24.640 And if you, if you want to hear, I mentioned the daily, if you want to hear how desperate they want this, listen to the coverage from the New York Times about this bill.

01:16:34.140 This is the greatest thing of all time.

01:16:35.660 In fact, the only thing that might make it bad is that they've cut it.

01:16:37.940 It was supposed to be $6 trillion.

01:16:40.480 And the fact that they cut it to 1.5 might be the problem.

01:16:43.480 And I haven't actually cut it to 1.5 yet, but it's something between 1.5 and 2 looks like the out, the last number, which means nothing because all of these, all they've done is do accounting tricks to get this to be $1.75 trillion.

01:16:57.260 So the number is really important.

01:16:59.340 And once you start it, you're not stopping it.

01:17:00.900 Right.

01:17:01.080 Once you start it, it's done.

01:17:03.720 And this is as important as the health care bill was as far as structural change.

01:17:11.240 And this one is, I think, more important because it has a lot of financial tricks in it as far as the banks, et cetera, et cetera.

01:17:20.920 You're not going back from this.

01:17:22.540 And it's shocking to me how little people know about this bill.

01:17:28.320 Everybody's only talking about the number.

01:17:30.800 The number.

01:17:31.660 And if they're even aware that much.

01:17:34.380 And that is the least important part of this bill.

01:17:37.300 That's the least important part.

01:17:39.940 It's important.

01:17:41.180 No, it is important.

01:17:42.320 No, it is important.

01:17:43.260 I mean, inflation.

01:17:44.780 Inflation is, I mean, we're already seeing people revising their, their,

01:17:50.200 Jack Dorsey came out and said hyperinflation.

01:17:54.160 Now, I personally think Twitter should ban Jack Dorsey for saying that because that's, of course.

01:18:00.460 Misinformation?

01:18:01.300 Misinformation.

01:18:01.920 Financial misinformation.

01:18:03.000 Well, Jack, for all of the problems with his service, is a big cryptocurrency guy, big Bitcoin guy.

01:18:10.640 And he believes in the risks of inflation.

01:18:15.020 Again, he's a, he's a quirky character like a lot of these tech guys are.

01:18:18.240 Elon Musk is the same thing.

01:18:19.180 I mean, Elon Musk is completely insane when it comes to the climate.

01:18:22.300 He's building spaceships to escape the planet.

01:18:26.380 Not just for climate.

01:18:27.980 Also for AI.

01:18:29.320 ASI.

01:18:29.900 Multiple reasons.

01:18:31.040 But again, like he's a, these guys are not uniformly good or bad typically.

01:18:35.640 And Jack is very good on that.

01:18:37.080 He understands that.

01:18:38.360 You wonder why he can't understand some of the other things that are blatantly obvious going on.

01:18:42.520 And he can have power and he can bend it to his will in Washington.

01:19:59.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:01.780 You know, I just don't see, even if the Democrats in Virginia lose all five House seats

01:20:11.720 that are really up for grabs, if they lose those, the Democrats in Washington, D.C.

01:20:19.260 are not going to change their plan.

01:20:20.740 They're going to keep going for it.

01:20:21.920 And I think you have to look at what has happened with the support of their agenda.

01:20:29.120 They just won the presidency, you know, and yet they lost record numbers.

01:20:36.420 I mean, that followed, was following, what, the biggest loss in, when was it?

01:20:43.700 2010, you're talking about?

01:20:45.420 10.

01:20:45.980 That was the biggest loss in about 100 years.

01:20:47.760 Yeah, since 1938.

01:20:49.100 And then this loss, where they have no coattails on Joe Biden.

01:20:54.540 Now Joe Biden is cratering, just cratering.

01:20:58.320 Obama came in with a real mandate, if you want to argue that mandates exist.

01:21:02.840 He had 60 senators.

01:21:04.700 He won by a lot.

01:21:06.040 It was not a close election like it was in 2020 with Biden.

01:21:10.240 He had a major, major, you know, destruction of McCain, plus, you know, 60 senators.

01:21:16.960 Remember, even with 60 senators, he barely got Obama through.

01:21:21.060 He needed to hold on after Scott Brown won that special election.

01:21:25.360 They had to force it through in the dark of night, basically, to get that thing done then.

01:21:30.920 And now, now they have lost 10 and they have to have everyone on board.

01:21:38.440 everyone on board.

01:21:40.460 And they're having a hard time doing that.

01:21:43.900 I mean, there is a mood of the country and they are ignoring it.

01:21:51.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:57.760 Man, we'd be so much better off if we were more like Europe, wouldn't we, Stu? 0.94

01:22:04.720 Oh yeah, that's a great point.

01:22:06.280 They've got it down.

01:22:07.180 Now, you don't see the millions in the street that are opposing the government or marching

01:22:14.920 against this or that.

01:22:16.820 You don't ever see that.

01:22:17.760 It's just peace and harmony in Europe and acceptance and tolerance.

01:22:26.560 It's a beautiful place to go for a stroll, right?

01:22:30.220 With, you know, a few million of your closest friends.

01:22:32.540 Right.

01:22:32.960 You know?

01:22:33.420 It's great.

01:22:34.120 And bring a sign.

01:22:34.620 Yeah, and it's, and it's a great place.

01:22:49.240 Put it right there in your chest so you know right where it is.

01:22:52.060 I mean, it's, it's those kinds of things that make Europe so very special.

01:22:59.140 Euro trash. 1.00

01:23:00.340 We're looking for the answers in the wrong place.

01:23:03.500 And are we starting to be more European than the Europeans?

01:23:10.140 Answers in 60 seconds.

01:23:11.580 So when you're driving down the road, you know, sometimes I think to myself, man, I wish that check engine light would come on, you know, spend so long.

01:23:24.880 And I've had the car for a while.

01:23:27.780 Oh my gosh, wait a minute.

01:23:29.280 My warranty is out.

01:23:31.120 And I really wish that check engine, oh, it just came on.

01:23:34.620 Isn't that great?

01:23:36.100 That's usually when it happens when, you know, you don't have a warranty.

01:23:41.000 And when you just don't have the money, I love this.

01:23:43.640 When you just don't have the money to fix your car, I don't care how rich you are.

01:24:38.020 David Harsani, senior writer of National Review, author of Euro Trash, Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent.

01:24:52.640 You can find David's work at nationalreview.com and his new book, wherever books are sold.

01:24:58.020 Hello, David.

01:24:58.600 How are you?

01:25:00.140 I'm well.

01:25:00.780 Thank you for having me.

01:25:01.640 You bet.

01:25:02.040 It's always good to talk to you.

01:25:03.280 Um, so tell me about the, uh, the Euro trash, because as I'm, as I'm looking at Europe, I have seen Europeans say, oh my gosh, America has gone crazy. 1.00

01:25:16.360 Uh, and we're becoming so much like Europe.

01:25:21.540 We are passing Europe in some ways.

01:25:23.860 Are we not?

01:25:26.160 I think that's fair to say in some ways.

01:25:28.180 I mean, when you look at this $3.5 trillion bill, it's a welfare state cradle of the grave sort of European style expansion of the state.

01:25:36.380 But it's even worse because in Europe, at least they pay for that stuff.

01:25:39.720 And, you know, in Denmark, in Denmark, a person making, making 60K will pay like 65% of his salary in taxes.

01:25:47.120 But can you imagine an American doing that? 0.61

01:25:49.440 And Bernie doesn't want us to, he just wants to either print more money or, or tax people.

01:25:54.320 David, David, David, I've heard from the president.

01:25:56.940 No joke.

01:25:58.040 It's the truth, man.

01:25:59.520 It's all paid for.

01:26:01.180 It's not going to cost a dime.

01:26:02.740 Zero dollars.

01:26:03.540 Zero dollars.

01:26:04.320 Three.

01:26:05.760 It's the same guy who told us that spending more money will help with him bring down inflation.

01:26:09.900 So I don't know if, I don't know if he has his economics or anything else, frankly.

01:26:18.140 Uh, so, um, why doesn't the socialist system that works in Sweden work here?

01:26:28.040 Uh, well, I mean, first of all, scale, you're talking about, I think Sweden has 9 million people and it's the largest Nordic.

01:26:34.320 You can't scale that kind of system.

01:26:37.120 It would mean having a massive bureaucracy.

01:26:39.740 But the other question is, why would I want it anyway?

01:26:42.060 It's not as if they do anything better than we do.

01:26:44.380 Certainly, they're not better at assimilating new people.

01:26:46.820 They're not better at healthcare.

01:26:48.100 They're not better at any of the things, um, that, that we can quantify.

01:26:52.800 And they're certainly not better at things we can't, like risk-taking and entrepreneurship.

01:26:58.240 So I don't know why we'd want it, A.

01:27:00.340 And B, I don't think that we could do it even if we wanted to.

01:27:03.480 So, David, are we, uh, I mean, we are now talking about, um, what is it, unrealized gains in the stock market.

01:27:13.840 For people like Elon Musk, who is, like him or not, he is changing the way things are happening in the world.

01:27:23.280 Um, and he sees over the horizon, he sees a different, uh, a different future.

01:27:29.100 And now we're talking about giving him, uh, an extra tax on unrealized capital gains.

01:27:35.580 That, that's, that's insane.

01:27:37.600 That's a perfect example of, of a European mindset where, when you, when you think about innovation and technology, the top 30 technological company, tech companies in the world, one is European, Spotify, and the rest are not.

01:27:54.020 Most of them are American.

01:27:55.380 Why do Europeans come here to start their companies? 1.00

01:27:58.380 Tons of our biggest companies are, are started by immigrants or children of immigrants here.

01:28:02.920 Or it's because of things like this, taxing people's unrealized profits would, um, undermine the risk-taking venture and undermines investment.

01:28:13.360 And it's exactly the sorts of things they do in Europe.

01:28:15.700 I mean, every country is a little different, but that's, that's the mindset over there and we're bringing it over here.

01:28:19.660 But they're not, but they don't tax unrealized gains, do they?

01:28:23.880 I mean, I, I've never heard of that before.

01:28:25.580 How does that system even work?

01:28:27.980 You go, your stock goes up, they, you pay income tax on it.

01:28:32.340 Then your stock goes down.

01:28:33.600 Do they give that money back?

01:28:35.000 What, I mean, how does that work?

01:28:37.140 No, because these are, these are parlors.

01:28:38.640 These are tricks to try to tax rich people where it is in Europe.

01:28:41.600 They just do it.

01:28:42.380 You know, we're honest about it.

01:28:44.060 Right.

01:28:44.440 Um, so yeah.

01:28:46.160 Until they start driving people out.

01:28:48.340 So have you ever, have you ever seen a president or really, really anyone do what Biden did when he went over to Europe and tried to get the Europeans.

01:28:58.400 Americans to agree on a baseline corporate tax.

01:29:04.360 So no one would be stealing corporations from, from each other.

01:29:08.540 You'd trap them in the countries.

01:29:11.740 Never, never.

01:29:12.960 I just don't even understand.

01:29:14.640 I mean, you know, a lot of people talk about one world government and sometimes it's down a little bit nutty, but I have to say when you have the United States trying to create a worldwide tax system, um, to, to, to stop competition, which is what that does.

01:29:29.220 I just can't think of any American president that's done that.

01:29:32.740 That would have been something that would lose you the election immediately.

01:29:36.200 I mean, I just think I just, I can't, there's nothing I can even compare it to.

01:29:41.280 I think one of the worst things that we have seen, um, and, and Afghanistan didn't help us on any front. 1.00

01:29:48.660 I mean, we have now lost the, the moral center of the United States.

01:29:55.920 I mean, and a lot of people had been convinced that, you know, America wasn't moral and, and in many ways we haven't been for quite some time.

01:30:03.800 Uh, but we at least would go into Afghanistan and we would, uh, help our allies.

01:30:11.680 We would help women and children, et cetera, et cetera.

01:30:14.680 Um, we don't have that moral high ground anymore for our military where I don't think we're trusted anymore.

01:30:21.560 And the other thing that is horrible is people used to view this country as a land of opportunity.

01:30:28.320 Now they view us as a, a racist state.

01:30:33.800 Um, yeah, they do, but still people stream to our borders to come in because it's just not true.

01:30:40.840 And, you know, by any, again, quantifiable measure, and I go into this pretty deeply in the book, we are far less racist and more tolerant than any place.

01:30:49.700 In my neighborhood, for instance, I live among people who would be killing themselves in many other situations and live peacefully here to send their kids to the same schools, et cetera.

01:30:58.500 Um, but it is true that people think of us that way, um, wrongly.

01:31:02.980 Show me, I believe that show me how they're more, uh, we're more tolerant than Europe because that's not what you hear ever.

01:31:12.260 Well, let's talk about immigration then, you know, legal immigration, not, not illegal immigration, but think about assimilation in Europe.

01:31:19.400 There are places in outside of Paris, outside of Berlin and elsewhere where there are basically ghettos, generational ghettos of high unemployment. 0.87

01:31:28.120 I don't mean, you know, 10%, I mean, 35, 40%, um, that where people don't speak the language of the country, where they don't accept the customs and the ideals of the country.

01:31:38.760 Uh, you know, people say diversity is our strength here.

01:31:41.340 That's just a trope.

01:31:42.240 I mean, what's our strength here is that we have a diverse types of people who accept the same foundational ideas about living together or they used to, um, in Europe, you don't have any of that.

01:31:52.280 These countries can't assimilate any group in a healthy way. 0.99

01:31:55.980 And we do it all the time when, when we do it, right.

01:31:58.900 Um, why is that?

01:32:00.660 Why is that?

01:32:01.460 I think we were built for it, frankly.

01:32:04.280 I mean, some of this is just structural problems.

01:32:07.080 You have Hungary.

01:32:07.720 Hungary has an ethnicity.

01:32:09.460 It has a culture.

01:32:10.160 It goes back a long time.

01:32:11.280 There are, they have grudges that go back a thousand years.

01:32:13.780 It's not as easy for them to accept other people.

01:32:17.120 It is for us, but you know, I'll give you one quick, uh, poll number in France, 27% of people say they wouldn't want to live next to someone who wasn't like them, race, religion, whatever.

01:32:27.700 In America, that number is 1%.

01:32:29.580 Now, maybe some people are lying, but at least they know that that's the right thing to say.

01:32:34.640 That's the credo.

01:32:35.540 That's the way we live here.

01:32:37.600 And Europe just isn't that way.

01:32:39.900 People go to like the tourist spots and they think that's Europe.

01:32:42.840 That's not Europe.

01:32:44.260 Talk to David Arsani of National Review.

01:32:46.940 David, one of the things I think is fascinating, and it's totally against the narrative that we hear from the media, is we need to be more enlightened like, uh, like Europe is.

01:32:58.120 And one of the big issues they talk about is abortion.

01:33:00.620 Like we, why don't we have women's rights like they do in Europe? 1.00

01:33:03.560 Why don't we have abortion that anyone can get at any time? 1.00

01:33:06.700 That's what Europe is like.

01:33:07.820 They're ahead of us and they understand real women's rights. 1.00

01:33:11.040 Is that actually accurate?

01:33:13.260 No.

01:33:14.020 Europe, one of the better things they do better than us actually is have stricter abortion laws.

01:33:19.040 But, you know, it's complicated because I don't think there really is a pro-life movement in Europe.

01:33:23.720 So they sort of settled on a more moderate stance organically.

01:33:27.160 There are very few religious people in Europe, and that's a big problem.

01:33:30.500 Um, so there isn't that movement, but they are, there are a few things they do better.

01:33:35.640 They have less homicides, um, you know, in urban areas and things like that because of our gun culture, which obviously I approve of in some ways, the murder part, but the gun ownership part. 0.53

01:33:46.380 Um, and abortion and social policy, um, but some of their social policies, I mean, they do not value life in the same way we do.

01:33:55.320 They do not try to save.

01:33:56.600 So why, so, so why do they, why are their laws more restrictive than, uh, than ours?

01:34:05.520 Is it just from experience, the genocide that has happened in Europe over and over?

01:34:13.020 Again, I wouldn't say their, their laws are stricter than ours in many places, not in some places, but let's say New York, but they're not, you know, they're still very liberal.

01:34:22.120 They would be considered liberal by any stretch for us, I think.

01:34:24.980 So I just think it's because there's, they, they moderate, I think the pro-life movement drives the progressive left to more extreme and extreme places, just this pushback.

01:34:36.120 Now, you know, it used to be a, what was it?

01:34:38.340 Safe and legal, um, and a rare safe and legal.

01:34:41.460 And now it's, you know, celebrated.

01:34:43.120 So I think that that's just because of our political culture in some ways, I hope.

01:34:48.240 Is Europe, uh, as divided as we are?

01:34:52.560 I mean, I, I see things like, I think it was in, uh, gosh, where was it?

01:34:58.520 Is Switzerland?

01:34:59.780 I can't remember.

01:35:01.000 Um, but just this weekend, they had massive protests out on the streets about vaccines and everything else.

01:35:08.400 Um, and you're seeing these protests, are they as divided as we are and we're just not seeing it?

01:35:13.840 I'm actually surprised by those, those protests in some sense, because in general, I think Europeans are quite docile and pliant people.

01:35:22.760 I say that in the way that I think that their risk takers came here or left or go elsewhere.

01:35:29.520 I, I, so I'll give you a quick example in Finland, like 91% of people are like doing, and it doesn't matter.

01:35:37.720 Wait, wait, wait, wait, what was that stat?

01:35:39.560 What was that stat you broke up?

01:35:40.560 91% of Finnish people are, you know, have a, have a, have a positive view of their government.

01:35:49.820 So you can't have that here because we are diverse and we live in different sorts of places and we do different sorts of things and we have different cultural backgrounds.

01:35:56.960 But in Scandinavia, people are, are more, more client there.

01:36:01.220 They like their government.

01:36:02.260 They don't debate in the way that we do and they don't have sorts of, uh, um, lines of, you know, ideological lines that they draw.

01:36:12.200 They also don't have the diversity.

01:36:14.000 We have, we are the most diverse country in the world.

01:36:18.040 No one else is like us.

01:36:19.300 Yeah.

01:36:20.180 In human history.

01:36:20.960 And the scale in which we do it is immense.

01:36:23.020 And I think the European union was formed and based on the idea of federalism in the United States.

01:36:28.620 But of course they've lost that just centralized top down control now.

01:36:32.120 So that's what, that's what progressives want here.

01:36:34.740 Right.

01:36:35.120 But it won't work.

01:36:36.340 It can't work when you have a truly diverse nation.

01:36:39.500 David, there's this thing that Bernie Sanders and the left has done forever, which is like, oh, why don't we just have the healthcare of Sweden or Denmark or Finland, um, and apply it that way.

01:36:48.420 And I think a little bit of that actually creeped into the right when it came to the COVID stuff, which was basically, they just said, well, why don't we just do all the things that Sweden is doing?

01:36:56.880 Um, I mean, is there anything we can learn from these countries that seemingly have some things that they do correctly that we could bring here?

01:37:06.500 Yeah.

01:37:06.920 I think we could have learned from Sweden that we shouldn't shut down our economy because of the pandemic.

01:37:11.600 That would have been a smart thing.

01:37:13.220 And again, um, I wrote, started writing this book before COVID the COVID thing.

01:37:18.360 It actually scared, scared me quite a bit in the way that we had politicians and bureaucracies, especially bureaucracies, just unilaterally running the country.

01:37:28.160 The bureaucracies run the country and in Europe, bureaucracies are huge and multi-layered in ways that we can't even imagine.

01:37:35.120 And, uh, you know, listen, the bureau, Donald Trump was elected.

01:37:38.060 The bureaucracy decided they didn't want him to be president and, you know, and they undermine them every, every step of the way.

01:37:43.360 The CDC decides it's going to run the country, um, during COVID.

01:37:46.800 But these are scary things because it's not a democratic process, but it's not, certainly not a liberal in a good sense process.

01:37:53.760 David, you said that you mentioned that Europeans are compliant.

01:37:57.600 What are, were you surprised at the COVID reaction of the people in the United States and how much of this people kind of just went along with?

01:38:05.740 Yeah, I think it was scary.

01:38:06.880 It was, it was really scary that, uh, that a governor in Virginia could shut down the churches and people would be like, okay, I mean, I just don't even, I don't understand how that can happen here.

01:38:16.540 And how are we, how are you feeling today?

01:38:19.480 Are you more optimistic than you were a year ago?

01:38:22.980 Yeah, I feel better.

01:38:23.820 Um, there was that story, it was just a microcosm of this was that Ruth Marcus, the Washington Post was in an elevator in Texas.

01:38:30.020 And she told this guy, you know, I think you should be wearing a mask, you know, and the guy said, I don't really care what you think.

01:38:36.080 I think that's like the American credo, right?

01:38:38.280 I don't really care what you think.

01:38:40.240 And that's how we should function.

01:38:41.780 I mean, it sounds selfish, but it's not.

01:38:43.980 It's not.

01:38:44.640 That's another thing, you know, Europeans think we're selfish, but we give around, and you know this, of course, seven times as much per capita as European. 0.80

01:40:14.940 I want to play a couple of soundbites from yesterday.

01:40:30.440 Here is Jen Psaki on Joe Biden and gas prices.

01:40:35.320 Listen to this.

01:40:37.380 Cut five.

01:40:38.200 Would there be a price that gas would have to get that the president would say, okay,

01:40:42.600 now's the time to tap the strategic joint reserve?

01:40:45.560 Well, the president reserves a range of options, and he is certainly quite mindful of the impact

01:40:50.680 of any increased cost on the American public.

01:40:53.900 There are a range of factors here which we could delve into, but I will say that on gas prices,

01:40:59.440 one of the issues that Jake referenced, and obviously as we have more details on what this

01:41:03.500 may look like, we'll share it with all of you, is being able to raise our concern and

01:41:09.060 the president's concern about supply issues as it relates to oil, and that's something

01:41:14.540 that certainly he can do on the international stage, and there's a power of the president

01:41:18.540 of the United States engaging on that front.

01:41:20.960 We've raised, that issue has been raised at Jake's level, at a range of levels throughout

01:41:25.160 government, but certainly the supply and OPEC and putting additional pressure on OPEC is

01:41:31.300 something that...

01:41:31.860 Okay, stop.

01:41:32.520 Why are we having to have pressure on OPEC, and why do we care what OPEC does when we have

01:41:38.320 the oil ourselves?

01:41:40.100 We could be energy independent again.

01:41:43.240 We were just a few months ago.

01:41:45.480 Here's a cut for a laid-off keystone worker on gas prices.

01:41:50.180 Okay, so the high cost of oil and gas, the rising prices there, appear to have taken

01:41:54.840 the Biden administration by surprise.

01:41:56.980 Are you surprised by this?

01:42:00.220 No, ma'am, I'm not surprised at all, because everything that Biden's touched or done, it's

01:42:05.780 a failure.

01:42:06.620 It ain't nothing but a total failure.

01:42:09.560 We went from America first to America last, or America last, Trump had it going on.

01:42:17.680 The thing about it is, we got all these high prices of oil and gas, we got drilling rigs

01:42:23.940 stacked, we've got roustabout crews ready to go, we've got pipeline contractors with all

01:42:29.340 of their equipment is stacked in the yards, and I can tell you right now, we can put America

01:42:35.200 to work next week if we needed to.

01:42:38.020 But they're not going to.

01:42:40.420 Why?

01:42:40.940 Well, you'll find out on tonight's Wednesday night special, only on Blaze TV, and we'll

01:42:49.140 delve into that with an expert on climate change next.

01:42:55.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:42:59.680 John lives in Kansas, and a few years ago, a back injury made it so he was living every

01:43:05.300 single day with pain.

01:43:06.340 He tried all kinds of things to make it go away, or at least dull it down, but nothing

01:43:11.640 worked, and anything that did work made him foggy, and he didn't want to live that way.

01:43:17.120 Thank goodness, John listens to the radio, even more fortunately, has good taste in radio

01:43:21.220 shows.

01:43:22.160 He heard a certain velvet-voiced radio guy who's in the Hall of Fame talk about relief factor.

01:43:29.720 Of course, John was skeptical, but he knew he could trust this man somehow or another.

01:43:33.940 He decided to give it a try, he ordered the three-week quick start, and the radio man

01:43:39.000 turned out to be exactly right, huh?

01:43:41.680 John felt better that he had, not only in years, but he felt better than he had before

01:43:46.700 his injury.

01:43:47.360 That's what he said.

01:43:48.700 He got his life back, and so could you.

01:43:51.080 It's Relief Factor.

01:43:52.300 70% of people try it, go on to order more, because it works.

01:43:55.200 Try it for $19.95, the three-week quick start, and Steve, it works for you.

01:43:58.520 So, ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com, 800-583-84, 800-583-84, it's ReliefFactor.com.

01:44:17.340 Back to back tonight, it's Glenn TV, and Stu does America.

01:44:20.680 Hey, good news.

01:44:27.960 The world is going to Glasgow this weekend, and our president is going with the biggest

01:44:36.180 gifts he can find, and he's going to lead the way on global climate change, and we're

01:44:43.240 going to show China just the way they should behave. 0.99

01:44:47.720 Bjorn Lomborg is with us.

01:44:50.600 He is the author of False Alarm.

01:44:53.460 I believe, aren't you in Norway right now?

01:45:00.660 Yes, Glenn.

01:45:01.500 Hi.

01:45:01.780 How are you doing?

01:45:02.460 Good to talk to you.

01:45:04.780 I can't imagine what this is costing us now.

01:45:08.240 I mean, what is our carbon footprint on the phone call alone?

01:45:12.340 Thank you so much for being on with us.

01:45:15.140 Tell me what you know about what's happening in Glasgow and what Biden is bringing.

01:45:24.320 I mean, it is, I think, going to bankrupt not only the United States, but the entire West.

01:45:33.880 Yes.

01:45:34.380 So, I mean, look, the Glasgow meeting is actually called COP26, and the trick is in some way in

01:45:41.520 the name.

01:45:41.840 We've had 25 previous meetings like this, and every time we've gone to them, we've tried

01:45:49.180 to promise lots of stuff and then ended up not doing most of it because it's phenomenally

01:45:54.100 costly.

01:45:55.300 And so what will likely happen in Glasgow is that all the state leaders will go there,

01:46:00.560 Biden included.

01:46:01.540 They'll promise lots of stuff, but they actually won't deliver on much of it.

01:46:05.360 And the reason is exactly as you say, because doing so is phenomenally successful.

01:46:12.140 I don't know if you saw, but the Nature magazine, one of the most reputed magazines in the world,

01:46:17.780 actually just estimated what's the cost of Biden's net zero policy by 2050.

01:46:24.360 Their model couldn't quite model to get to zero, but it got to 5%, so very close to zero.

01:46:30.700 They found that it would cost each and every American, each year by 2050, $11,300.

01:46:38.900 Oh, my gosh.

01:46:39.940 Not surprisingly, most people are not willing to pay that kind of money.

01:46:44.000 But we have a president now and an administration that I don't think they believe in global warming.

01:46:49.900 The ESG stuff, it's all scams.

01:46:51.920 But they are looking to transform our economy and beat America down in size and success.

01:47:02.240 And, you know, it's like the gas thing.

01:47:04.660 The gas prices are not going down.

01:47:07.100 They're going up by design.

01:47:09.300 They don't want us to be on fossil fuels.

01:47:11.900 Yes, so there's definitely that.

01:47:16.820 So if you want to tackle global warming, you need to make fossil fuels more expensive.

01:47:22.600 Now, the theory is, and I think a lot in the administration buys into that,

01:47:27.680 that you will actually get phenomenally cheap solar and wind prices.

01:47:32.320 But the problem, as we're now seeing in Europe and elsewhere,

01:47:35.120 what do you do when the wind is not blowing?

01:47:37.020 What do you do when the sun is not shining?

01:47:38.520 It turns out that you're screwed, that you actually need to pay a lot of money

01:47:43.400 to get coal-fired power plants to ramp up again.

01:47:47.320 And that's why this is not the cheap green energy scenario

01:47:51.860 that I think a lot of the Biden administration was hoping for,

01:47:55.120 but more likely the one where you end up paying $11,300 per person per year.

01:48:00.580 Bjorn, when Nancy Pelosi was over in England about a month or so ago,

01:48:06.740 she said, we know, I mean, this is a quote,

01:48:09.740 we know that China is increasing their persecution of the Uyghurs in concentration camps,

01:48:18.340 but we need to work with them on global warming.

01:48:22.420 Our priorities have to be global warming. 0.94

01:48:25.700 I don't think there's a chance in hell that a country that is putting a new coal-fired plant

01:48:32.040 online every week is going to get away from coal energy and dirty energy

01:48:43.240 if they can make it cheap.

01:48:47.000 Do you think Nancy Pelosi and others,

01:48:50.140 A, actually believe that this is more important than concentration camps, 0.57

01:48:55.040 and B, do they actually believe China is going to follow us?

01:49:05.840 It's hard to peer into her mind,

01:49:09.220 but my sense is that a lot of people are genuinely terrified of global warming.

01:49:15.160 So you ask a lot of people,

01:49:17.240 and it turns out that almost half of everyone believes global warming

01:49:21.340 is going to lead to the extinction of mankind,

01:49:23.300 and it's important to be very clear.

01:49:25.760 It's that simply not what the U.N. climate panel tells us.

01:49:29.180 Global warming is a problem.

01:49:30.260 Yes, it's not the end of the world.

01:49:33.300 To take one example,

01:49:35.700 the U.N. estimates that it will do nothing against global warming.

01:49:39.360 The negative impact will be equivalent to cutting 2.6% of our GDP by the end of the century.

01:49:46.900 Remember, by then, we'll be 450% as rich as we are today.

01:49:50.460 So we're really talking about, instead of being 450% as rich,

01:49:54.220 we will only be 434% as rich.

01:49:57.920 That's not a catastrophe.

01:49:59.860 So it's important to get this in context.

01:50:01.640 But I think it's admirable in some sense that Ms. Pelosi is so honest about this,

01:50:08.600 that if you're so worried about climate change,

01:50:12.120 that you're willing to let the Uyghurs and other problems sort of just pass by, 0.96

01:50:17.000 you really need to understand this is the problem.

01:50:20.560 It's not the end of the world.

01:50:21.760 And with China, you're absolutely right.

01:50:24.040 Of course, China is the darling in most of the developing world

01:50:28.380 because they've managed to do what most other developing world countries still haven't done.

01:50:32.680 They've actually gotten rich, mostly off of coal.

01:50:35.480 And they have started to move some of their coal imports from Australia.

01:50:44.520 It seems to me that China knows exactly what they're doing, 0.99

01:50:49.360 and they are helping cripple the West by playing their game.

01:50:56.320 They're, okay, you want to be emissions zero?

01:51:00.600 Great.

01:51:01.360 We won't buy coal from you anymore.

01:51:03.700 We'll just, we'll buy it from this country, you know, over here.

01:51:08.020 That is, that thinks like we do.

01:51:10.580 Oh, it's definitely very easy to play the West when we're saying it's so important with global warming

01:51:17.100 that we really don't care about anything else.

01:51:18.980 And remember, China, very smartly so, have basically said,

01:51:23.600 we'll do the same thing as you, or we'll promise to do the same thing as you,

01:51:27.020 but slightly later.

01:51:28.520 So, you know, when we actually fail, when the bills start accumulating and nobody wants to pay,

01:51:34.260 they can plausibly say, well, we would have done it, but, you know, we're not going to do it if you don't do it.

01:51:39.280 And the reality is, of course, nobody wants to say, look at America and say,

01:51:44.120 oh, you guys pay $11,300 to go next year?

01:51:47.560 I want to do that too.

01:51:49.060 Most countries can't even afford that.

01:51:50.940 So the reality here is, we're not going to solve global warming by simply asking people to be poor and colder.

01:51:59.220 You will solve global warming if you do what's the most American thing at all, namely invest in innovation.

01:52:05.880 If you can innovate the price of green energy down below fossil fuels, everyone will switch,

01:52:10.840 not because they're, you know, arm-twisted in Glasgow, but because it's cheaper.

01:52:14.740 I mean, I have, you know, it's taken me three different systems to finally get it in the last 15 years,

01:52:22.000 but I am now on solar panels and battery panels.

01:52:26.200 It cost me a fortune to do it.

01:52:29.180 It's not ready for regular people by any stretch of the imagination, but it can be done.

01:52:35.280 And I would highly recommend it if it were affordable, but it's not there yet.

01:52:41.400 It's just not there yet.

01:52:42.840 And on cloudy days, I'm living, you know, if I'm living in Seattle, I ain't getting that

01:52:47.500 because it's not going to do much good for me.

01:52:51.000 No.

01:52:51.720 And, of course, what you also have to remember is that unless you didn't take any advantage,

01:52:57.840 you're probably taking a lot of subsidies, but I'm mostly paid by all the other rate payers.

01:53:02.640 And, of course, you use the power production system when it's cloudy.

01:53:09.800 So, you know, it's great for people who are basically getting to be virtuous at low cost with other people's money.

01:53:17.900 But it's not a recipe for how we can run an advanced civilization.

01:53:23.720 It can be someday, and we should certainly be investigating that, but it's not there yet.

01:53:28.120 The one question I have also is, have you heard anyone make a good case for all of these electric cars by 2030?

01:53:39.500 Have you heard anybody make a good case on where all that power is coming from?

01:53:44.760 Yes, that's a very good question.

01:53:48.020 Nobody really knows.

01:53:49.360 But also, just most people don't want to buy electric cars.

01:53:54.060 You can obviously subsidize them enormously, and then they will actually pay it.

01:53:58.840 Remember, I'm in Norway right now.

01:54:01.300 The epicenter of electric cars, they probably have more than 50% of all new sold cars are electric.

01:54:09.320 But that's basically because they give you a subsidy that's almost equivalent to the entire price of the car.

01:54:16.040 Now, so do you want to buy an expensive diesel or gasoline car, or do you not want to pay anything for the other car?

01:54:22.320 You actually have to be surprised that there are still other people picking the gasoline or diesel car.

01:54:27.320 Because, of course, if you need to get far, you can't use an electric car.

01:54:30.960 But electric cars are great for some things, but they're not the panacea that they're being sold out.

01:54:37.040 And they're certainly huge costs, financial costs, in the sense that you're subsidizing for, what, $5,000 or $10,000.

01:54:45.960 And they deliver fairly small to two cups.

01:54:50.000 So, again, it's one of those things that are much more virtue signaling and a little bit of the taste of the future.

01:54:57.920 But we need much better cars, and we honestly need to realize it's going to be part of the solution,

01:55:03.500 but it's not going to be that everybody's going to be driving electric cars.

01:55:06.840 We're entering a time to where I think time is running out.

01:55:12.960 And it's not running out on the planet.

01:55:14.660 It's running out on this trap of global warming solutions with the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset and all of this stuff.

01:55:25.380 Are you optimistic that these lies fall apart before we're completely screwed as a Western civilization, financially, or not?

01:55:38.180 Yeah, it's interesting to see exactly when they'll fall apart.

01:55:42.060 I think once the costs start to actually arrive, remember, global warming was great for politicians for the last 30 years

01:55:49.640 because they basically got to say, the world is failing, but I will save you, and somebody will pay in the future.

01:55:56.180 That's a great setup for a politician.

01:55:58.480 But now they actually have to say, and I have to pay right now.

01:56:02.240 And that's, of course, why they get booted out of office.

01:56:04.920 I think that there's a good chance we're going to waste a lot of trillions of dollars on this,

01:56:09.640 but we're not going to be screwed in that sense.

01:56:12.400 We'll still remain reasonably safe and say, sure, global warming is a problem.

01:56:18.240 Let's fix it smartly.

01:56:19.500 Let's invest a lot more in research and development so we actually get smart innovation.

01:56:23.760 But we're going to say no to $11,300, and we're going to say no way before it gets that expensive.

01:56:29.920 So it'll have been an expensive excursion, but we're not going to emasculate ourselves, I hope.

01:56:36.560 I hope not as well.

01:56:38.700 Bjorn Lomborg, thank you so much.

01:56:40.380 Author of False Alarm and president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center.

01:56:46.680 Always good to have you on.

01:56:48.400 Tonight, don't forget, we have a Wednesday night special.

01:56:51.980 This is the topic, President Biden's radical climate agenda,

01:56:55.920 what's already in place, what's being put in place, and what is coming soon.

01:57:00.920 It is Build Back, Bankrupt,

01:57:03.560 How Biden's Climate Agenda Will Finally Ruin You.

01:57:08.080 That's tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on BlazeTV.com and BlazeTV YouTube.

01:57:14.920 Don't miss it.

01:57:17.340 If you are worried about the economy, please, please listen and ask for information.

01:57:27.940 You're smart enough to figure out what's true and what's not.

01:57:32.320 You have to hand it to the Biden administration.

01:57:34.560 Go big or go home.

01:57:36.220 I mean, I think that's, I mean, that is, that was invented for these people, I think.

01:57:41.600 They are printing money like it's going out of style, and it probably is going out of style.

01:57:46.540 And they're not spending your tax dollars at this point.

01:57:50.140 They are spending your grandchildren's tax dollars.

01:57:54.780 I don't know if the ship can be righted.

01:57:57.120 I don't think it can be.

01:57:58.560 Myself, the dollar is a thing of the past.

01:58:01.320 It's only a matter of time.

01:58:03.020 It is also only a matter of time before we hit inflation that will make your eyes bleed.

01:58:08.720 I hope that's when we all wake up.

01:58:10.820 But who knows?

01:58:12.720 Goldline is there to help protect you against dollar collapse and against inflation.

01:58:20.000 This week, they're offering the free platinum special.

01:58:23.360 This is the last week.

01:58:24.940 They only have a few of them left.

01:58:27.480 Get your financial house in order now.

01:58:29.960 Goldline is giving away at no cost a 110-ounce platinum coin with qualifying order of graded $5 gold Indians.

01:58:36.860 They've never given platinum away because of its price and demand, but they are this week, this week only.

01:58:43.640 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:58:45.000 1-866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.

01:58:50.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:58:56.180 A couple of things that we may have missed.

01:58:58.940 First of all, Stu is back from vacation.

01:59:01.800 I missed you, Stu.

01:59:02.340 The story that you think I probably missed because you weren't here.

01:59:08.280 You have one?

01:59:09.440 Well, the World Series is going on.

01:59:11.620 You may know that.

01:59:12.480 I didn't even know that.

01:59:13.860 I didn't know that.

01:59:14.560 The reason why it will be interesting to you is not because of the baseball being played, but because the...

01:59:19.780 If you remember, just a few months ago, they pulled the All-Star game out of Atlanta.

01:59:24.760 Right.

01:59:25.020 Because of all the racist voting laws that were occurring there. 0.98

01:59:28.920 A nonsensical policy that they basically have admitted they were just running from the controversy, and they didn't believe this was a sensible move.

01:59:35.520 Correct.

01:59:36.060 So, baseball has its way of being baseball and just doing things that just make life interesting.

01:59:42.780 And so, the World Series matchup is Atlanta versus Houston.

01:59:48.480 Oh, my gosh.

01:59:49.840 So, now this commissioner that canceled...

01:59:51.360 Oh, there is a God.

01:59:52.740 There is a God.

01:59:53.420 It proves it, right?

01:59:54.180 Intelligent design is here.

01:59:55.760 So, they've proved it, basically, because now this commissioner, Manfred, who's the guy who's responsible for this, has to bounce back and forth between the two states who are most centrally talked about in the voting rights controversy, Georgia and Texas,

02:00:10.860 and then has to give out the trophy in one of these two places where he will be mercilessly booed for his stance, especially in Atlanta, where, you know, again, obviously, half the fans there that go to these games are not conservative even.

02:00:28.740 The workers aren't necessarily conservative, although the Braves did, at the time, call out the league and say, this is ridiculous.

02:00:37.120 I mean, you're just pulling this out of our city because we didn't pass the law even, agree with it or not.

02:00:43.060 It wasn't us who passed it.

02:00:45.220 The state passed it.

02:00:46.620 We just happened to be in the state.

02:00:48.080 They remove it.

02:00:49.080 And now they have to go to a place where not only do they have to deal with the voting rights thing, but a team that has the tomahawk chop in the audience.

02:00:59.140 This is just glorious.
