00:01:07.600 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:36.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:46.200 Hello, America.
00:01:47.380 You know, we always start with something that is like,
00:01:49.700 oh, jeez, I didn't want to know that.
00:01:51.720 Can we start today with some real good news and some deeper questions on the news?
00:01:56.840 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
00:01:58.700 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:04.660 Well, I want to talk to you a little bit about mowing your lawn.
00:02:07.040 If you mow your lawn and you spend a couple of hours a week, don't do it anymore.
00:02:11.860 Just don't do it anymore.
00:02:12.720 If you're looking for a new lawnmower, make sure you look at Hustler Turf.
00:02:17.280 It'll cut the time of your lawn mowing in half.
00:02:20.760 It's a zero-turn lawnmower built by the people who created the first zero-turn lawnmower.
00:02:27.280 They perfected it back in the 1960s, and they've been doing, you know, baseball fields and football fields and the sides of the highway.
00:02:37.580 These are these huge machines that you see out there that run forever and ever and ever,
00:02:42.000 and they're built to last because they should run about eight hours every day.
00:02:47.140 Well, they've decided to make a smaller, you know, more economical version for the home,
00:02:51.840 and they want you to look at it, and it is a great, great lawnmower.
00:02:56.700 Again, cut the time in half.
00:02:58.800 Now, you can go out to your Home Depot and buy any lawnmower.
00:03:01.700 You can even buy a zero-turn lawnmower, but before you do,
00:03:05.120 please find a Hustler Turf dealer near you and test drive one.
00:03:09.700 There is nothing like a zero-turn lawnmower from Hustler Turf.
00:03:15.300 Go to hustlerturf.com.
00:03:16.980 That's hustlerturf.com.
00:03:21.840 Welcome to Stu, Stu Bergeer, our executive producer and cohort on the program every day.
00:03:31.100 60 Minutes just did an interview, Stu, with Attorney General Keith Ellison,
00:03:36.720 and they discussed the guilty verdict on Chauvin.
00:03:41.280 And he was asked, did you have any reason to believe, did the prosecution have any evidence
00:03:56.280 that race was a factor?
00:04:01.160 No.
00:04:03.020 No.
00:04:03.580 Not any.
00:04:06.740 This is from a guy who would love to say, yes, crazy.
00:04:11.220 It was crazy.
00:04:11.960 It was crazy.
00:04:13.000 When you first heard the word guilty, you thought what?
00:04:18.280 Ellison said gratitude, humility, followed by a certain sense of, I'll say, satisfaction.
00:04:23.020 It's what we were aiming for the whole time.
00:04:24.880 Spent 16 years as a criminal defense lawyer,
00:04:26.940 so I'll admit I felt a little bad for the defendant.
00:04:29.240 I think he deserved to be convicted, but he is a human being.
00:04:34.080 Hmm?
00:04:35.440 Wait, what?
00:04:36.420 What?
00:04:38.620 He's not.
00:04:40.740 They had no evidence that this was a race killing.
00:04:44.920 So what are we doing?
00:04:46.280 Why are we tearing our country apart?
00:04:47.800 This is one guy making a bad mistake and, you know, committing a felony on another guy.
00:04:56.720 That's what this is.
00:04:57.900 This is two Americans.
00:05:00.880 One died.
00:05:02.680 One is in jail.
00:05:03.820 That's all this is.
00:05:04.500 Two Americans.
00:05:05.200 It's not white and black.
00:05:06.520 Why are we?
00:05:07.740 Why is this such a big case if they had zero evidence that it was race based?
00:05:14.400 Yeah, of course they had none.
00:05:15.480 They never had any.
00:05:16.420 And, you know, again, demeans the life of the people who get lost in these situations,
00:05:22.020 because instead of recognizing each individual as having value,
00:05:27.260 we only see people as members of larger groups.
00:05:30.720 And that is a problem.
00:05:32.540 It's a collectivist problem.
00:05:34.320 It is the same problem we've been facing for a very long time in this country.
00:05:37.380 And, you know, like I was listening to a report this morning and I and I guess Merrick Garland is going to be investigating the Louisville police for their practices.
00:05:48.220 And that's where Breonna Taylor, the Breonna Taylor case, and they interviewed someone.
00:05:53.260 They're like, she's like crying and she's sobbing.
00:05:55.320 And she's saying, I just think of Breonna Taylor because, you know, I'm 26 years old and she was 26 when she died.
00:06:03.060 And it's like, I'm sorry.
00:06:05.000 Is this about you?
00:06:06.100 I don't understand.
00:06:06.980 I thought this was about Breonna Taylor, because should we be saying her name or your name?
00:06:11.680 Which name should we be saying?
00:06:13.540 I don't.
00:06:14.280 Well, so let me let me finish what what Ellison said, because it's exactly the same point.
00:06:19.120 It's exactly the same point.
00:06:20.580 In our society, there's a social norm that killing certain kinds of people is more tolerable than other kinds of people.
00:06:26.720 In order for us to stop and pay serious attention to this case and be outraged by it, it's not necessary that Derek Chauvin had a specific racial intent to harm George Floyd.
00:06:36.560 Well, first of all, I don't buy into that premise.
00:06:38.820 I don't think it's any more acceptable to kill a black person than it is a white person.
00:06:42.560 Of course not.
00:06:43.260 I mean, I you know, that's why I have a problem with abortion.
00:06:47.140 I don't think there's any difference between killing a born baby and a baby just about to be born.
00:06:52.920 There's no difference.
00:06:53.940 There's no difference.
00:06:54.720 And I don't care what the color is.
00:06:57.520 Why would why if we were so racist, why would conservatives be so upset about abortion clinics?
00:07:04.820 The vast majority are black babies.
00:07:07.920 So why would we care?
00:07:10.300 Because we don't see race.
00:07:13.120 We see life.
00:07:15.180 And that is that is an important difference.
00:07:17.840 He said the fact is that we know that through housing patterns, through employment, through wealth,
00:07:23.740 through a whole range of other things.
00:07:25.280 So often people of color, black people end up with harsh treatment from law enforcement and other folks doing exact same thing.
00:07:31.060 Don't if an officer doesn't throw a white neurologist to the ground and he doesn't sit on top of his neck.
00:07:36.660 Is he doing it because this is a fellow white brother?
00:07:39.580 No, he's doing it because he thinks this is an important person.
00:07:42.540 And if I treat them badly, somebody is going to ask me about this.
00:07:45.640 This person probably has lawyers.
00:07:48.000 No, that is not why.
00:07:49.540 Please don't.
00:07:50.400 Please don't want to assault everyone and just do it to people they think don't have lawyers.
00:07:54.640 That is that is an incomprehensibly stupid read of the situation.
00:07:59.180 But here again, here is the the point that you were making.
00:08:04.500 Is this about something else?
00:08:07.300 Because this is not about this stopped being about Derek Derek Chauvin and his racism.
00:08:13.460 The minute they said.
00:08:15.900 There was no motivation on race, right?
00:08:18.340 None.
00:08:18.680 It's not about that.
00:08:19.800 No.
00:08:19.980 You know, and it's it's it's it's so it's just this odd thing of of trying to make everyone a member of a group instead of an individual.
00:08:28.320 I mean, if if if if a if a mailman murders a family right somewhere about a white family in the suburbs, do you ever watch that story?
00:08:37.220 Oh, my God, I also have a mailman.
00:08:40.640 That could have been me.
00:08:42.840 I never think like that.
00:08:44.840 I don't look and say, oh, my gosh, another white person had something happen to them.
00:08:48.560 Therefore, I also could have been the victim of that crime.
00:08:51.600 That is, I do think that I do think about that.
00:08:54.720 I do think that way on teenagers or young kids getting, you know, stopped or killed by the police.
00:09:02.400 I do think about it, but not because they're white or black, just because I want to make sure my kids understand.
00:09:09.000 Don't do that.
00:09:11.660 Don't do that.
00:09:13.880 Right.
00:09:14.060 But again, when the police are telling you to do something, you do that.
00:09:17.840 Not what that person just did, because that will happen to you.
00:09:21.580 Yeah, there was a there was a thing that happened with an NBA NBA player and they were asked, like, how does it feel?
00:09:28.120 You're this big NBA superstar and you could be shot at any time because you're black.
00:09:33.480 And it's like, well, you know, he could be shot any time if he runs from the police or like tries to stab a woman.
00:09:40.780 Like, yeah, he has just as good a chance of being shot as any other person.
00:09:45.620 If he starts doing those things, you know, I can be honest with you in his gated community, probably not going to get shot.
00:09:51.500 And I understand what Allison is saying and that, like, there are certain areas of of the country that crime is much less lesser of a problem so that officers that work in those communities probably do feel less threatened going into them.
00:10:06.240 Doesn't it has nothing to do with color?
00:10:07.620 It has to do with crime rates, right?
00:10:09.940 If you if you're seeing, you know, if gunshots are buzzing by your police car every every hour, you're going to be a lot more on edge in those communities.
00:10:18.700 And that has nothing to do with the color of people's skin in those communities.
00:10:21.300 It has to do with the rates of crime and how many people get shot and killed and how many times they have to go out to see a violent crime in action.
00:10:28.180 That's sensible.
00:10:29.880 I mean, it's sensible.
00:10:30.840 They're going to be more on edge there.
00:10:32.840 I live in a good neighborhood, and I believe that and I wish we could do a test on this, but you can't.
00:10:39.580 I believe if we did a reenactment of, you know, my kid out about to stab somebody else while somebody else is kicking a girl in the head right on my front lawn.
00:10:52.420 And I would bet you if the police came at the same time, I bet you they would shoot my son and they should.
00:10:59.060 If he was the one that had the knife and said, I'm going to kill you and they should.
00:11:03.280 But I absolutely believe they would have done that to my son.
00:11:06.760 And you'd still be devastated over it, but that wouldn't mean devastated, but they'd be justified.
00:11:11.580 I would look at that and go, you are stupid son of a to him, not to the cops.
00:11:17.200 Right.
00:11:18.520 I mean, it's that's not to say none of these things ever occur.
00:11:21.620 Of course they do, but it's about the larger narrative of trying to.
00:11:26.740 I mean, you know, it would be you look at some of the of the of the way, you know, the different things the media says and they paint a picture that if you are African-American, you are going to get shot by police.
00:11:37.580 It's basically going to happen.
00:11:38.900 You know, I mean, I wouldn't.
00:11:39.980 That's why people guess thousands and tens of thousands shot every year by police, because that's what it feels like.
00:11:47.260 The priority given by the media is so high and it's so low for white people who get shot by police that people don't even know that white people get shot by police.
00:11:58.160 They don't know that more white people get shot by police than black people in this country.
00:12:02.880 Let me let me change subjects as I've got a couple of good news things to get to.
00:12:08.780 And yes, I am buttering you up for for something bad.
00:12:11.860 But let me just give you a couple of good news things.
00:12:15.380 New poll out.
00:12:16.840 This is from the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, and it was how do people under four under 24 look at institutions?
00:12:28.280 What do you trust?
00:12:29.540 What do you not trust?
00:12:31.680 Sixteen options were listed.
00:12:33.920 A low of just 19 percent of respondents say they trusted Facebook all or most of the time.
00:12:41.980 Nineteen percent.
00:12:43.160 Seventy nine percent of those polled said they trusted the social media company some of the time or never.
00:12:51.000 Seventy nine percent.
00:12:52.340 That's good news.
00:12:53.600 Those who took the survey said they felt the same way about Twitter, with just 21 percent saying they trust it to do the right thing most of the time.
00:13:01.940 Only Wall Street and the media scored in a comparable range.
00:13:09.000 That's phenomenal.
00:13:10.440 A total of 20 percent of those polls say they trusted Wall Street to do the right thing all or most of the time.
00:13:17.080 Well, 22 said the same thing about the media.
00:13:20.120 Only 19 percent of the people surveyed said they trusted Facebook all or most of the time.
00:13:25.260 Now, more than half of those polled or 58 percent of them said they trusted their college or university administration to do the right thing all or most of the time.
00:13:35.320 So that's bad news.
00:13:36.460 But listen to this.
00:13:38.260 Forty nine percent answered the same about the U.S. military.
00:13:42.380 Forty seven percent about the Supreme Court.
00:13:45.200 Forty five percent about the United Nations.
00:13:47.340 Forty five percent about the police.
00:13:49.600 So you've got 19 and 21 percent for Facebook and Twitter.
00:13:56.620 You have 45 percent of the youth now now trusting the police.
00:14:02.320 Forty two percent local government.
00:14:04.460 Thirty nine percent about Google.
00:14:06.300 I don't know how those people get away with it.
00:14:08.700 Thirty eight percent about the president.
00:14:11.340 Thirty two percent with the federal government.
00:14:13.240 So the federal government is trusted less than your local police.
00:14:20.860 Forty five percent of young Americans say they trusted the police to do the right thing.
00:14:25.220 So that's good news.
00:14:26.440 And one other thing I am completely convinced.
00:14:30.160 And there is a great segment.
00:14:33.940 With the podcast last week where I am.
00:14:39.780 I'm talking to a guy who is a farmer.
00:14:45.020 And he's actually a historian.
00:14:47.360 But I just want to paint him as a farmer for a second.
00:14:50.200 And right before we went on, one of the producers said, what's the noise in the background?
00:14:55.040 And he said, I'm sorry, I'm disking today.
00:14:58.580 And I don't know if anybody in the control room on either end knew what disking was, but I did.
00:15:04.280 And I said to him towards the end of the interview, I said, I, I like hearing from a guy who even knows what disking is, but is actually doing it or having somebody do it right there on their property.
00:15:19.300 And he said, well, yeah, I'm a farmer.
00:15:21.020 And disking, do you know what it is, Stu?
00:15:22.760 Do you know what disking is?
00:15:23.900 Yeah, it's a soil preparation practice that usually follows the plowing, whether it was a deep or shallow soil tillage.
00:15:29.700 That's how that's how I usually describe it to my friends.
00:15:31.980 That's how you describe it?
00:15:33.040 Yeah, OK, you're looking it up.
00:15:35.540 So disking is just those those round blades that kind of go in and it just turns the soil up.
00:15:41.100 OK, and you do it just to prepare the soil for planting and everything else.
00:15:45.200 And we started talking about how America lost something when we detached from the farmer.
00:15:54.860 When you when you are living in the center of the country and you have anything at all to do with farming.
00:16:01.780 You don't your kids don't have to have sex education.
00:16:05.740 They see it.
00:16:06.740 And when they're young, they're like, why is that cow on top of another cow?
00:16:11.700 You see the circle of life.
00:16:14.260 You know how to deal with life, with birth, with death, all these things that are just deeply rooted.
00:16:19.820 And you you also learn basic kindness and responsibility, not only for yourself, but for your neighbor.
00:16:27.900 And most importantly, you learn gratitude.
00:16:32.320 Because life is not fair.
00:16:35.800 And, you know, we don't have a problem with this when you're a farmer.
00:16:40.440 Farmers aren't they're not like I want reparations because there was too much rain or not enough rain or or I did absolutely everything right.
00:16:51.220 And then there was really a bad windstorm or hail on the last day.
00:16:56.700 No, there's no reparations.
00:16:58.940 You did everything you could and it still failed.
00:17:03.940 So you have gratitude when it doesn't fail and you're not looking to blame someone when it does.
00:17:12.760 That's what we've lost.
00:17:14.240 Well, let me give you another piece of good news here.
00:17:18.940 I think this is I mean, if it lasts, if it lasts.
00:17:22.780 Millennials are leading a rural revitalization, according to Tractor Supply.
00:17:28.880 The Tractor Supply CEO has said their stock is way up.
00:17:32.980 They said they're seeing people come in now.
00:17:35.360 The core customer, they are they are gaining core customers.
00:17:39.820 Now, the new customer is the millennial customer.
00:17:44.240 We're seeing a revitalization of rural led by millennials.
00:17:48.960 They are coming into the housing market.
00:17:51.240 And for the first time in I don't even know how long, 25 to 40 year olds are coming in and they are buying chickens.
00:18:00.800 They're buying tractors.
00:18:03.100 They're they're gardening and they're into self-reliance.
00:18:07.020 This is a really good thing.
00:18:09.660 When 25 year olds.
00:18:10.680 Now, again, I think they think, you know, it's just you know, it's a farm.
00:18:15.180 We just plant it and it grows.
00:18:17.080 Let's check in a year from now or maybe two years from now.
00:18:20.300 It is the hardest work you've ever done in your life, but it is really worth it.
00:18:24.480 But that's good news.
00:18:25.860 If we can get people to get rooted back into the soil, people's common sense just kinds just just happens to reappear for some reason or another.
00:18:36.220 That's why all of the counties that are farming counties in California generally are conservative counties, because you just think differently when you've actually had to grow your own food or grow anything, including animals.
00:18:52.000 You just start to have a little more common sense.
00:18:58.200 All righty.

00:20:24.700 So maybe it's that I think so much like a fiction writer to understand the world that this one freaks me out.
00:20:43.920 Stu, I read a.
00:20:48.380 I read a story today from the post.
00:20:50.500 Ocasio-Cortez said she likely won't be able to attend President Biden's first address to Congress because COVID safety restrictions are in place in the House chamber and she's not going to be able to go.
00:21:07.460 Yeah.
00:21:09.500 During a virtual town hall meeting, she said this.
00:21:12.940 Apparently, senior members get first dibs into the chamber for Wednesday night speech.
00:21:17.780 That's tomorrow, she said, but they're very strict COVID provisions.
00:21:21.720 So the house that the house had to put in place.
00:21:23.920 So she's not going to be able to enter the chamber for the joint address.
00:21:28.520 It's just senior members.
00:21:30.100 Only about 200 senior leadership members will be in attendance.
00:21:34.980 So.
00:21:37.340 Dare I say, dare I even I mean, do I need to even say.
00:21:40.840 This is a please pray for everybody's security.
00:21:47.400 Please pray pray for everybody's security.
00:21:52.120 This is just I don't know.
00:21:55.040 I don't like it.
00:21:57.060 You don't like that.
00:21:57.880 They're not letting everybody in.
00:22:00.960 Yeah.
00:22:01.720 Well, I mean, you know, especially because they've all been probably all been vaccinated.
00:22:06.540 I don't know AOC's stance on vaccines, but they've probably all been vaccinated.
00:22:11.880 I don't know why they wouldn't just open it up at this point.
00:22:14.800 Because they're sending a message.
00:22:15.940 Yeah.
00:22:16.340 Or just like he's wearing a mask on a Zoom call.
00:22:18.280 Right.
00:22:18.880 Yes.
00:22:19.320 I guess that's what the White House said yesterday.
00:22:21.260 He's sending a message to the world.
00:22:22.560 What?
00:22:22.840 That we're dummies?
00:22:24.220 But it seems like this is being used to say like, oh, AOC doesn't really want to go.
00:22:28.560 And she she's not happy with.
00:22:30.640 She should be thrilled with this administration.
00:22:33.180 She's basically running the country right now.
00:22:35.200 I mean, he I think she is thrilled with this administration.
00:22:37.860 She said he's better than they ever expected.
00:22:41.080 That's AOC.
00:22:42.060 That's that's not a good thing.
00:22:43.820 No.
00:22:44.700 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:49.740 If you've been involved with a timeshare in any way, you probably know they're not all created equally.
00:22:55.720 Some are good.
00:22:56.980 Some are bad.
00:22:58.400 Most of them actually are bad.
00:23:00.620 Getting out of them seems like, you know, an attractive idea.
00:23:03.700 Oh, once the newness wears off and you're like, why am I still I don't ever use this.
00:23:08.860 And why do we still have it again?
00:23:11.300 Because even with covid, we haven't even been allowed to use it.
00:23:15.120 What does it mean?
00:23:16.520 Well, to get out of it requires a real sophisticated legal team.
00:23:21.480 There is a legal way to get out of timeshare and get this monkey off of your back.
00:23:26.800 But you have to have a legal team that is devoted specifically to timeshare law.
00:23:32.280 Well, that is exactly what the timeshare termination team is.
00:23:36.100 They are a bunch of attorneys that this is all they do.

00:24:46.620 Stu and I will be hosting it.
00:24:48.580 You don't want to miss it tomorrow.
00:24:49.760 9 p.m.
00:24:50.680 Blaze TV.
00:24:52.180 And I'm also very excited because there's another big thing happening in California.
00:24:58.400 Gavin Newsom looks like they've counted all of the recall signatures.
00:25:03.020 And the recall is on, which means some glass ceilings can be shattered because Caitlyn Jenner is going to be running for governor.
00:25:12.440 And if she were to win, that would make her, of course, Stu, the first female governor of California.
00:25:21.120 Yeah.
00:25:21.460 Exactly right.
00:25:22.300 Exactly right.
00:25:23.220 She'd also be the first trans governor.
00:25:25.180 Oh, would she?
00:25:25.580 But, yeah, I care about those things.
00:25:29.620 Not at all.
00:25:31.020 I mean, really, not at all.
00:25:32.260 Really?
00:25:32.500 When it comes to governor, yeah, I don't really care.
00:25:34.680 Don't care.
00:25:35.540 I know there's people out there, David Duke, Richard Spencer, Ibram Kendi, Robin DiAngelo.
00:25:42.620 So, people like that care, I know.
00:25:45.940 They care a lot.
00:25:46.600 About all the immutable characteristics of the governors in place.
00:25:52.100 But other than that very tight-knit group of identitarians, I don't think people care.
00:25:59.160 I think you'd put us into the category of people that say, would she be a good governor?
00:26:05.740 And that I don't really even care about because we live in Texas.
00:26:08.880 So, I mean, we've written California off a long, long time ago.
00:26:15.240 This would be interesting.
00:26:16.220 Would she be a good governor?
00:26:18.300 I mean, I have absolutely no idea what her policies would be or anything else.
00:26:23.520 I know she'd be better than Gavin Newsom.
00:26:25.160 Yes, which is almost impossible.
00:26:26.740 We actually made up these mugs, anyone else for governor?
00:26:30.180 And it looks like a political slogan.
00:26:31.820 It just says anyone else.
00:26:33.360 Because there's a lot of people with crappy governors.
00:26:35.760 There's something in California that's going to go on where we're really going to test that thesis.
00:26:38.880 Yeah, I mean, I don't know if California, do you really mean anyone else?
00:26:44.720 Anyone else?
00:26:46.060 It's very true.
00:26:47.540 It's got to be conflicting for the left.
00:26:50.740 I mean, can they oppose a trans governor?
00:26:54.440 Couldn't they oppose a female governor?
00:26:57.200 We couldn't.
00:26:58.280 Can they oppose a Kardashian governor?
00:27:00.580 Is that possible?
00:27:01.200 Are you allowed to oppose a Kardashian?
00:27:02.520 Never.
00:27:03.140 I don't.
00:27:03.880 I don't know.
00:27:05.080 Have you seen what people have been saying online about this?
00:27:08.280 Trans activists.
00:27:10.680 Trans activists see no value in Caitlyn Jenner.
00:27:14.360 Let me give you some tweets from Equality California.
00:27:18.500 Quote, make no mistake.
00:27:20.600 We can't wait to elect a trans governor of California.
00:27:23.820 But Caitlyn Jenner spent years telling the LGBTQ plus community to trust Donald Trump.
00:27:30.460 We saw how that worked out.
00:27:32.120 Yeah, actually pretty well.
00:27:33.200 Now she wants us to trust her.
00:27:35.960 Hard pass.
00:27:37.600 Wait a minute.
00:27:39.000 Wait a minute.
00:27:40.260 Hold it.
00:27:40.920 We're supposed to care.
00:27:42.140 We're supposed to think you care about the policies of the individual.
00:27:45.600 When did that happen?
00:27:46.860 Stop recall.
00:27:48.400 After Trump banned transgender troops from serving in the military, attacked transgendered students.
00:27:53.520 I don't remember that.
00:27:54.380 Even tried to allow homeless shelters to turn away trans women.
00:27:58.340 Caitlyn Jenner still hired his former inner circle to run her campaign.
00:28:03.260 Californians and trans Californians in particular understand all too well the risk of electing another reality TV star who cares more about fame and money than civil rights, health care, and the safety of our communities.
00:28:14.140 We can't let that happen.
00:28:16.040 Governor Gavin Newsom is a pro-equality champion who has spent his career fighting for LGBTQ plus civil rights and social justice.
00:28:24.300 He's been there for us time and time again.
00:28:26.580 It's now our turn to be there for him.
00:28:28.360 Stop the recall.
00:28:30.300 This is uniform from not only activist groups but the media.
00:28:36.420 Esquire had a headline.
00:28:38.020 Caitlyn Jenner's campaign provides cover for the GOP's hateful anti-trans legislation.
00:28:45.720 Well, you know, there is Alyssa Milano, too.
00:28:49.640 I mean, don't leave her out.
00:28:50.880 Don't leave her out.
00:28:52.800 With all due respect, Caitlyn, you're running as a Republican.
00:28:56.180 Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth.
00:29:00.340 Hell no.
00:29:01.260 You love that.
00:29:02.940 Son of anarchy himself, Ron Perlman.
00:29:05.080 Well done, Caitlyn Jenner.
00:29:07.000 Running for governor wins you the one medal you never got.
00:29:11.300 Stupidest MFer on earth.
00:29:14.600 What a great...
00:29:16.280 Wow.
00:29:17.240 So funny.
00:29:19.180 Because Bruce Jenner won medals.
00:29:20.980 That's why.
00:29:21.520 Yeah.
00:29:21.720 See how he tied that in there?
00:29:23.120 Yeah.
00:29:24.280 Running as a Trump Republican and entering that world, entering a world that hates you.
00:29:28.740 Really, we're the hateful ones, apparently, here, Glenn.
00:29:31.020 Yeah, let's skip all the rest of these, because we all know they're nothing but hypocrites.
00:29:38.020 They don't actually care about anything, right?
00:29:42.260 You think they care about glass ceilings, Stu?
00:29:44.920 I don't think they care about glass ceilings at all.
00:29:49.160 First trans governor?
00:29:51.360 You think they care about that?
00:29:52.400 No, not at all.
00:29:53.600 Yeah.
00:29:54.060 Yeah.
00:29:54.260 I mean, look, it's an odd thing, because they keep asking us to buy into this narrative
00:30:02.860 where everyone hates these minority groups, like trans people.
00:30:07.320 And their pitch is basically, Democrats are good people, and Republicans are bad people,
00:30:11.840 and Republicans are the haters here.
00:30:13.140 So, if Caitlyn Jenner did, let's say, run for governor and win, right, as a Republican,
00:30:20.700 wouldn't that go a long way to advance what your goal supposedly is?
00:30:25.280 Like, if you really believe Republicans hate trans people, and what you want for society
00:30:30.220 is to have trans people accepted more broadly, what better way to accomplish that than having
00:30:36.980 a Republican trans candidate?
00:30:39.040 Yeah.
00:30:39.700 But you just said the key words.
00:30:41.840 If you really believe, they don't really believe, I don't think they even really believe
00:30:47.220 that Republicans hate gay people.
00:30:49.200 Right.
00:30:49.620 I don't think they actually believe that.
00:30:51.240 That's just a slogan that's been drilled into their head.
00:30:53.980 If you actually told them, can you defend that?
00:30:56.640 I don't think they could even defend that.
00:30:58.080 No, I mean, look at Richard Grinnell, you know, who was in the Trump administration.
00:31:01.240 When they say Pete Buttigieg is the first cabinet person who is gay, look at the rage.
00:31:07.780 They're erasing a gay man.
00:31:08.560 Yeah, look at the rage that comes from the right.
00:31:10.480 We were erasing Richard Grinnell, who did a great job, and we love Richard Grinnell.
00:31:14.540 Right?
00:31:14.720 Like, there's not a...
00:31:16.200 This is a...
00:31:17.360 It's the same thing.
00:31:18.100 They do the same thing, you know, with race and gender.
00:31:21.820 And a lot of this is because none of this is actually real.
00:31:25.060 This isn't real.
00:31:25.540 It doesn't have anything to do with race or gender, or really anything else.
00:31:29.660 It has everything to do with politics.
00:31:31.300 That's it.
00:31:31.760 And, like, I gotta say, Glenn, like, with the Caitlyn Jenner thing, this is sort of the
00:31:37.360 way this is supposed to work, right?
00:31:40.240 Like, they should be opposing Caitlyn Jenner because, at least she's talked about, wants
00:31:46.420 lower taxes and lower regulation.
00:31:48.760 They should be opposing her because she doesn't agree with her policies, right?
00:31:52.500 So, if you think those policies are bad, that's a good reason to oppose the person.
00:31:55.860 It doesn't mean you hate all trans people, but they have the benefit of the doubt on
00:32:00.260 that, and we don't for some reason.
00:32:02.240 Whenever we oppose someone, if we oppose Barack Obama, it's because he's black, not because
00:32:08.200 he wants higher taxes, because he wants more regulation, because he wants us to...
00:32:12.100 Because he's a Marxist.
00:32:13.640 Right.
00:32:14.800 It's like, we oppose...
00:32:15.980 Can't be that.
00:32:16.580 We oppose Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama equally, despite the fact they're from
00:32:22.440 all different groups.
00:32:23.740 There's white people in there, there's women in there, there's black people in there, there's
00:32:28.080 men in there, and we oppose all of them because the reason the opposition is there is because
00:32:33.940 we don't like what they want to do to the country.
00:32:36.760 It's got nothing to do with the color of their skin.
00:32:38.640 It's got nothing to do with their gender.
00:32:40.760 And, like, in some ways, the Caitlyn Jenner thing is a model for what should happen.
00:32:44.680 Democrats should oppose her, because Gavin Newsom is much more of a socialist than she
00:32:49.360 is.
00:32:50.100 Right.
00:32:51.040 Right.
00:32:51.980 And they should celebrate, wait, wait, wait, Republicans are not as hateful as I thought.
00:32:57.360 They would support Caitlyn Jenner, I don't know if she would win, but they would support
00:33:02.500 her.
00:33:02.840 Yeah, if she's a good candidate, if she's the right candidate, why not?
00:33:06.240 Why not?
00:33:07.200 Now, if she's a crazy reality star, no.
00:33:10.700 But, I mean, why wouldn't we?
00:33:14.420 Why wouldn't we?
00:33:15.240 If she was the best candidate, that's the problem here.
00:33:19.560 We don't get afforded that opportunity at all, ever.
00:33:22.300 No.
00:33:22.660 And we should.
00:33:23.400 We should.
00:33:23.980 You know, if we think their views suck, we can say so, without being called a racist
00:33:27.320 or a homophobe or a transphobe or a phobe-phobe.
00:33:30.280 Do we ever get afforded that opportunity?
00:33:32.240 As of right now, the answer to that is no.
00:33:34.960 No.
00:33:35.380 And, you know, you've influenced me, Glenn, on this.
00:33:39.420 I want you to know that.
00:33:40.380 Have I?
00:33:40.860 Yes, over the years.
00:33:41.920 Yes.
00:33:42.320 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:43.220 Well, I'm kind of like wax on, wax off.
00:33:46.380 You're like the karate kid and I'm the.
00:33:49.060 Okay.
00:33:49.280 All right.
00:33:49.680 You're sort of the Miyagi in this situation.
00:33:51.400 Okay.
00:33:52.120 All right.
00:33:52.620 Tell me about it.
00:33:53.500 You had a piece of information and knowledge and wisdom on race and the differences between
00:34:02.160 people that I think of often, which is, you know, why would you hate people because of
00:34:07.680 their skin color or their sexual orientation or their gender?
00:34:13.500 Exactly.
00:34:14.060 When you can, of course, get to know them and then hate them for real legitimate reasons.
00:34:20.220 Right.
00:34:20.620 Yes.
00:34:20.820 I mean, there's legitimate reasons to hate people.
00:34:24.000 Yes.
00:34:24.200 Those are not.
00:34:25.420 Just take the time.
00:34:26.580 I know you're lazy.
00:34:27.640 You're like, I got a lot to do.
00:34:29.240 Why can't I just hate them for color?
00:34:31.260 No.
00:34:31.560 Because it's so much better when you hate them for a legitimate reason.
00:34:35.020 Oh, it's so much more visceral and real.
00:34:37.340 You know?
00:34:38.000 You could.
00:34:38.200 God, that person's just really annoying.
00:34:41.300 Outside of their skin color, none of that has anything to do with this.
00:34:44.280 We just hate them for their character.
00:34:46.420 Did you know this about them?
00:34:48.380 And then when you find that out, you're like, oh, man, I hate them even more.
00:34:52.240 Right.
00:34:52.680 See, you didn't actually hate them before.
00:34:55.100 No.
00:34:55.620 You got to get to know somebody to really hate them.
00:35:00.440 Our sponsor this half hour is Legacy Box.
00:35:06.460 All right.
00:35:06.680 Mother's Day is closing in on us fast.
00:35:09.140 Let me tell you a little bit about Legacy Box and something that happened recently.
00:35:13.480 We were up at my mother-in-law's house, and we just lost my brother-in-law to tragedy.
00:35:24.140 And we were all going through the pictures.
00:35:27.340 And these pictures were so faded, and they were almost gone.
00:35:34.020 Everything from the 70s, almost gone.
00:35:37.480 They're just turning into like a sepia blank sheet.
00:35:43.060 And I looked at Tonya, and I said, we have got to get these into Legacy Box because they're going to be gone.
00:35:48.520 All of these things are going to be gone.
00:35:51.180 All these color pictures, a lot of the black and whites, they don't last.
00:35:55.600 They'll be gone in another 20 years.
00:35:58.200 So what are you going to do?
00:36:00.660 Well, we're sending up Legacy Box to my mother, and it's Mother's Day.
00:36:05.080 And I think this is a great Mother's Day.
00:36:07.640 You want to get her something great?
00:36:09.660 Get her a Legacy Box, something she's not going to see coming, something that is out of the norm.
00:36:14.440 She can sit down.
00:36:15.260 She can look at all the memories.
00:36:16.560 She puts them in the box, all the videotapes, the camcorder tapes, the film reels, the stuff.
00:36:22.500 I mean, I don't even know what format some of this stuff is.
00:36:25.800 You just put it in to the box, and all of those memories are going to be preserved,

00:37:22.220 Welcome to Wednesday.
00:37:24.000 Is it Wednesday?
00:37:24.400 No, it's Tuesday.
00:37:25.160 Tomorrow is Wednesday, and the president is giving his speech tomorrow night, which, I mean,
00:37:30.960 I don't know what he's going to say.
00:37:32.000 What is he going to say, Stu?
00:37:33.400 Because usually these are about asking people for, you know, big programs, telling the American
00:37:40.020 people, hey, it was a big program, but why is he telling us about it?
00:37:43.400 There's a scene in a lot of movies, and I think he's going to kind of do a similar thing.
00:37:46.780 You know when, like, there's someone who's at a bank, like a teller, and someone comes
00:37:51.360 in and says, give me all your money?
00:37:53.880 I think it's going to be a version of that speech.
00:37:56.220 A version of that?
00:37:57.520 Well, I mean, really, it's not the American people that are going to pay for all of this.
00:38:01.560 I mean, I guess he could do something where he could talk to our children and our grandchildren.
00:38:04.820 But really, I mean, why not just have a meeting with the Fed?
00:38:09.900 Hey, I just want to make my case here that you should print even more money.
00:38:13.340 He's already proposed and has put through in legislation.
00:38:18.340 There's already $10 trillion that is in play right now.
00:38:24.340 In his first 100 days, $10 trillion.
00:38:29.700 Now, remember when we were talking about, oh, gosh, what was it?
00:38:35.320 Some big thing.
00:38:36.660 It wasn't the Green New Deal, but it was like the Green New Deal.
00:38:39.480 And we were like, that would cost $10 trillion.
00:38:42.940 And it was like, that's crazy.
00:38:45.260 He's just spent $10 trillion on I don't even know what.
00:38:49.880 What?
00:38:50.900 In his first 100 days, what have we spent it on?
00:38:54.940 It's really incredible.
00:38:55.780 Do you know?
00:38:55.960 Well, I mean, we went through the first bill, which had very little to do with, I mean,
00:39:00.520 it had a little bit of money in there for COVID, a little bit of money going to be back to the
00:39:04.560 people, but that was about it.
00:39:05.760 Do you know how you could change the world with $10 trillion?
00:39:09.720 Do you think anything that he has proposed will change anything?
00:39:14.100 You'll be able to walk out, with an exception of destruction of souls and people and work
00:39:21.700 ethics and everything else.
00:39:22.660 Do you think that we'd be able to stand back at any point and say to our children, that
00:39:28.940 is because we spent that money?
00:39:33.860 Like our parents and grandparents could go back and say, we all came together for the
00:39:40.220 space program and that is what we spent our money on.
00:39:44.340 And you'd be like, okay, well, you know what?
00:39:46.800 Hmm.
00:39:47.600 You know, we could argue about it, but probably money well spent.
00:39:50.360 I mean, you know, certainly a great achievement, a great achievement, one of the greatest human
00:39:55.460 achievements of all time.
00:39:56.520 Are we, do you think we're going to get any greatest human achievement?
00:40:00.220 I would say $10 trillion to go put a colony on Mars.
00:40:06.000 Okay.
00:40:07.260 Okay.
00:40:07.740 I'd consider it.
00:40:08.660 I mean, it's not my kind of thing.
00:40:10.160 I don't.
00:40:10.600 And I don't like the government spending, but I mean, if we're going to spend $10 trillion,
00:40:15.260 put a base on the moon and let's put a colony on Mars that I would go, okay, I'm really against
00:40:22.880 the government doing all of this.
00:40:24.880 But if we're going to spend $10 trillion on that.
00:40:27.360 Okay.
00:40:27.820 Go ahead.
00:40:28.820 Yeah.
00:40:29.440 There's nothing.
00:40:30.380 There's nothing of that.
00:40:31.480 I mean, that's, I think what he's going to try to paint that picture tomorrow night,
00:40:34.920 you know, where we're spending this money to, to build up our infrastructure and do these
00:40:39.240 amazing things and we can work together to do them.
00:40:41.940 But we've seen this, we've seen this movie too many times.
00:40:44.780 You know, this is not how it works out.
00:40:47.280 Our roads and bridges.
00:40:48.480 Oh, shut up about our roads and bridges.
00:40:50.360 Oh my gosh.
00:40:51.100 Oh, these poor roads and bridges.
00:40:52.900 They should have built them right the first time.

00:42:04.000 We have Donald Trump Jr. coming up in about 30 minutes.
00:42:07.140 We're going to talk a little bit about John Kerry.
00:42:10.380 Apparently just letting Iran know about, you know, what our ally Israel was doing.
00:42:16.200 200 different events he alerted them to.
00:42:20.640 Is that a problem for anybody?
00:42:22.500 Also, we have Byron York on.
00:42:25.760 He has written a new book called Obsessed that I want to delve into because it touches
00:42:30.500 on a few things that are still going on.
00:42:34.460 The media was obsessed with destroying Donald Trump.
00:42:38.280 Now they are obsessed on changing history, the history that we even know, covering up for
00:42:46.340 things that were really, really horrible, and furthering stories that just are not true.
00:42:56.020 Just are not true.
00:42:57.420 Does the truth matter anymore?
00:43:00.580 Byron York joins us in 60 seconds.
00:43:02.920 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:07.820 All right.
00:43:09.740 May I suggest, may I suggest that you do what I do.
00:43:13.520 And I would say I do it to embarrass my children, but my children are so used to being embarrassed
00:43:18.780 by me.
00:43:19.540 But I'm wearing my slippers right now.
00:43:22.620 And I wear my slippers out to pick them up.

00:44:23.120 Byron York is the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner and author of
00:44:33.760 the book Obsession and a host of the podcast of the Byron York show.
00:44:38.640 Welcome, Byron.
00:44:39.740 How are you, sir?
00:44:40.720 Hi, Glenn.
00:44:41.340 I'm doing well.
00:44:42.020 Thanks for having me.
00:44:43.280 Good.
00:44:43.820 I you know, I have we've got about 20 minutes and I want to run through a bunch of things
00:44:47.900 with you.
00:44:49.400 First of all, I was talking to Victor Davis Hanson the other day and I asked him this
00:44:54.120 question in your book really kind of I mean, this is what your book is about obsession,
00:44:58.200 the obsession that people had on getting rid of Donald Trump and just destroying him at
00:45:04.380 all all costs.
00:45:07.160 And I asked him when it comes to the media.
00:45:09.760 The media, I know, hated themselves because they thought that they had, you know, them
00:45:16.620 playing footsie with him, helped him get elected.
00:45:19.700 But is it is it just that or was the media's obsession with this also pushed by the elites
00:45:27.240 in, you know, the FBI or the CIA, any of the deep state stuff that saw Donald Trump
00:45:33.240 as a real threat because he was going to upset the apple cart one way or another.
00:45:38.440 And and they weren't going to have any of that.
00:45:42.480 Which was the main factor, the the press just hating him and hating themselves or the
00:45:50.640 deep state really kind of juicing that up and pushing stuff at them?
00:45:56.700 Yeah, that is an incredibly difficult question.
00:45:59.660 You're right.
00:46:00.040 The book is about that.
00:46:02.580 It's called obsession.
00:46:03.500 And it is about this obsession with getting Trump that that began well before he was elected,
00:46:10.340 that continued with the appointment of a special counsel and the whole Russia thing and then
00:46:15.780 impeachment and then another impeachment.
00:46:18.700 So there was this this obsession.
00:46:22.000 I mean, there were there were Democrats who introduced a bill to to impeach Donald Trump
00:46:28.840 in 2017 for comments that he made about Colin Kaepernick in the NFL.
00:46:33.220 So, I mean, that's that's where we are.
00:46:35.220 It was an obsession.
00:46:36.880 So the question is, you raise a great question.
00:46:40.500 I'm not a really good armchair psychologist, but I do believe that the success of Trump
00:46:47.640 was deeply threatening to a lot of people.
00:46:51.180 It was it was threatening to some people who felt that they had some manner of input and
00:46:56.640 control over the Republican Party agenda and they became never Trumpers.
00:47:02.560 It was it was threatening to people who believed you remember this after 2008 and Obama's big
00:47:14.220 victory in 2008.
00:47:15.340 There was a lot of talk of the Obama coalition, a group of minorities and young people.
00:47:22.240 And there was this idea that that Democrats had kind of cracked the code and that they
00:47:28.460 would win the presidency from now on because demographic change, especially the rise of
00:47:34.120 Hispanic population in the United States, would literally ensure the election of a Democratic
00:47:39.640 president from now on.
00:47:41.440 And they were absolutely stunned that Trump won.
00:47:46.180 But you're right.
00:47:47.040 There's the darker side.
00:47:48.560 The dark underside of that is what the intelligence and law enforcement agencies did during the Trump
00:47:56.500 period.
00:47:57.000 And maybe they were feeling threatened in sort of the same way that others were.
00:48:01.600 But the fact is, they surveilled a presidential campaign and they did extraordinary things like
00:48:13.060 like the the meeting, which I still can't get over on January 6th, 2017, two weeks before
00:48:20.760 Trump is sworn in, in which James Comey, who's then the head of the FBI, briefs asked to
00:48:29.720 brief Trump one to one, one on one.
00:48:31.840 And he tells them that the FBI has his information about him and prostitutes in Russia.
00:48:38.340 And Comey specifically worried ahead of time that Trump might take it as kind of, and this
00:48:43.520 is Comey's words, a J. Edgar Hoover move.
00:48:46.560 And of course, the reason Comey worried about that is because it was a J. Edgar Hoover move.
00:48:52.040 So what I'm trying to get at here is that you had the intelligence agencies, law enforcement
00:48:58.280 agencies doing extraordinary things, the whole dossier to try to expel Trump, you know, from
00:49:05.740 the system.
00:49:07.420 And so there was this broad obsession.
00:49:09.820 And I think the motivations were different to different people.
00:49:14.180 But it was there.
00:49:16.720 And you're right.
00:49:17.520 It hasn't gone away.
00:49:19.600 Yeah.
00:49:20.160 And it is the people who supported Trump.
00:49:23.040 And that includes, you know, most Democrats.
00:49:25.140 I mean, sorry, most Republicans, whether they were big supporters or not, it doesn't matter
00:49:29.180 if you're not in line.
00:49:30.780 Now it's your turn to be smeared and destroyed.
00:49:33.280 And just when you thought the FBI couldn't get any worse, there's a couple of things.
00:49:38.400 First of all, I read and I saw your great article rebutting this.
00:49:44.080 Because the FBI now saying that the Alexandria shooting, the baseball shooting, I mean, notice
00:49:51.080 it doesn't have a name.
00:49:52.140 You have to kind of explain it before people even remember it, where Steve Scalise and all
00:49:56.640 of the Republicans would have been killed if it wasn't by the grace of God.
00:50:02.980 Just this massacre.
00:50:05.040 The FBI comes out and says that wasn't politically motivated.
00:50:08.000 The guy had the names of the representatives in his pocket with physical descriptions.
00:50:15.580 How is this suicide by cop?
00:50:18.000 Yeah, this is absolutely stunning news.
00:50:19.900 And we just learned this about a week and a half ago.
00:50:23.040 And what happened, everybody does remember, it was June 14th, 2017.
00:50:27.740 The team was practicing.
00:50:29.220 They were in Alexandria.
00:50:30.060 It was all Republicans practicing for the congressional baseball game.
00:50:33.580 So, man comes up, asked one of the Republicans, Jeff Duncan, Republican from South Carolina,
00:50:39.740 is leaving early.
00:50:40.840 Man comes up and asked, is this the Republican team or the Democratic team?
00:50:44.720 And Jeff Duncan, having no idea what's going on, who the man is, says it's the Republican
00:50:49.320 team.
00:50:50.140 And shortly after, he pulls out a semi-automatic rifle, begins firing, grievously wounds.
00:50:56.500 Steve Scalise, a lobbyist, is terribly wounded as well.
00:50:59.900 Two others wounded less seriously, until the man, James Hodgkinson, is finally killed.
00:51:07.360 So you're absolutely right.
00:51:08.500 He is a, he, he prides himself as a member of the resistance.
00:51:12.960 He's a house inspector in Ohio.
00:51:15.740 And he posts things on his Facebook page like, quote, Trump is a traitor.
00:51:22.280 Trump has destroyed our democracy.
00:51:24.820 It's time to destroy Trump and company.
00:51:27.980 He was also part of a Facebook group like, which was called Terminate the Republican Party.
00:51:35.140 So he quit his job, goes to Alexandria, lives in his van with his gun, and waits.
00:51:44.000 And you're right, he specifically targets Republicans.
00:51:46.920 He has a list in his pocket of congressional Republicans he wants to kill.
00:51:51.560 Okay, and so he does it.
00:51:54.460 And there's absolutely no doubt, and he's a big Bernie Sanders supporter for what it's
00:51:58.320 worth.
00:51:58.660 There's no doubt that he attacks these members of Congress because there are Republicans.
00:52:07.020 It was a clear act of violent, politically motivated domestic terrorism.
00:52:12.600 And if you remember, even at that time, the FBI was telling us that the greatest threat to
00:52:19.260 our national security was violent domestic terrorism.
00:52:25.160 Okay, so FBI, obviously, Hodgkinson is killed at the scene, so there's no manhunt.
00:52:30.960 But they begin investigating this and looking into Hodgkinson.
00:52:35.520 And the shooting is in June, and in November, the FBI has a private meeting with the members
00:52:44.180 of Congress who were there.
00:52:46.020 And the FBI says, well, we've discovered the cause.
00:52:49.680 And they say, well, and the FBI says, well, it's suicide by cop.
00:52:55.560 And the Republicans are just dumbstruck.
00:52:59.300 I mean, they said, what?
00:53:00.440 I mean, they literally go, what?
00:53:02.700 And they say, look, if you want to commit suicide by cop, you point a gun at police.
00:53:08.660 And that will usually do the trick.
00:53:11.500 You don't go attack Republican members of the House.
00:53:16.420 Besides, there was a small Capitol Police detail at the practice that day, because Steve
00:53:25.380 Scalise, House whip, a Republican whip, was a member of the House leadership.
00:53:29.660 So he had a security detail.
00:53:31.440 They were in plain clothes.
00:53:32.940 They were in an unmarked car.
00:53:34.680 The shooter did not know they were there.
00:53:36.460 This was not suicide by cop.
00:53:37.980 There's simply no way in the world it's suicide by cop.
00:53:42.360 One interesting thing is, Republicans are often pretty discreet about these things.
00:53:48.000 They didn't leak it.
00:53:49.460 We didn't hear that.
00:53:50.180 This was, this was, the FBI told them it was suicide by cop in November of 2017.
00:53:55.400 And we just found it out, because one of those Republicans, Brad Winstrup, who was there that
00:54:02.180 day and played a heroic role, revealed it in a hearing a week and a half ago at the House
00:54:09.520 Intelligence Committee.
00:54:11.680 And he revealed it because he had Christopher Wray, the FBI director, in front of him.
00:54:17.880 So he told him about all this stuff.
00:54:19.940 And you know what Wray's first response was, well, I wasn't director then.
00:54:24.260 Fine, you weren't director then.
00:54:25.880 But the FBI did this.
00:54:27.840 And so Winstrup sort of demanded that the FBI explain to them what evidentiary and analytical
00:54:35.620 process it went through to determine that this was a suicide by cop as opposed to what
00:54:41.320 it clearly was, a domestic terror attack.
00:54:43.800 So here's why this is really relevant.
00:54:48.360 You know, they said that Brian Sicknick was, you know, killed by in the Capitol riots.
00:54:53.440 They say this is the worst thing that's ever happened.
00:54:56.060 And they're obsessed over all this.
00:54:58.900 Sicknick did not die from injuries at the Capitol.
00:55:03.840 He died of a stroke the next day in the hospital.
00:55:07.760 So they're trying to make this into really an Alexandria kind of moment where it wasn't.
00:55:17.220 It was a horrible, horrible moment, but it wasn't something where they were going in and
00:55:21.560 trying to kill everybody, at least seriously, like this guy was could have been and was horrible
00:55:29.220 in and of itself.
00:55:30.100 But the media and the FBI seem so focused on only things that come from the right that
00:55:38.760 I am I don't trust the FBI anymore.
00:55:42.680 And that is that's saying something, Byron.
00:55:45.860 I've always trusted the FBI and and and the government.
00:55:49.660 I mean, you know, I've I've been skeptical, you know, and let me see all the evidence, but
00:55:54.240 I don't trust them at all anymore.
00:55:55.860 Yeah, I think that is one of the saddest results of the last five years.
00:56:00.680 And I think you're exactly right.
00:56:02.200 First of all, I think maybe for your listeners, we should say there are lots of parts of the
00:56:07.180 FBI that do old fashioned crime fighting.
00:56:10.760 They search for murderers.
00:56:13.640 They search for bank robbers.
00:56:15.420 They search for all sorts of really bad people.
00:56:18.960 And that sort of rank and file FBI work is something we should all be glad for.
00:56:23.540 But there was a managerial elite at the top of the FBI that had become incredibly politicized.
00:56:32.600 I mean, they they actually had during the 2016 election.
00:56:35.980 They had both major party candidates under investigation.
00:56:42.080 I think there's something wrong with that right there.
00:56:44.180 But certainly when we discovered what they did with the dossier, the Steele dossier, which
00:56:50.440 the FBI actually wanted to hire Christopher Steele to do his anti-Trump research for them
00:57:00.460 in the last months of the 2016 campaign, absolutely inexcusable.
00:57:05.580 They only had to sort of cut him loose because he was breaking their policy by talking to the
00:57:10.160 press because all Steele wanted to do was expose Trump and try to defeat him in 2016.
00:57:17.260 And even when the FBI had to cut him loose, they maintained a back channel to him and continued
00:57:22.120 to get what we now know were these entirely false dossier reports.
00:57:27.900 And then there was this sandbagging of of Trump that I mentioned earlier.
00:57:33.400 The whole we know about you and those hookers in Moscow thing.
00:57:38.160 And then there was the Michael Flynn case.
00:57:40.040 I mean, so I think there's plenty of reason to not trust the leadership of the FBI.
00:57:44.860 There's the FISA.
00:57:46.400 Are we ever going to get a final report?
00:57:50.240 Are we ever going to see the final report on any of this, do you think?
00:57:54.880 Well, there is no final report on this whole thing.
00:57:58.380 Everybody has to piece together as best they can from what is out there.
00:58:04.340 We know that there really is a Durham investigation.
00:58:08.000 I know a lot of conservatives have completely lost faith or hope in that and think it's going
00:58:12.540 to be nothing.
00:58:13.620 But there are some people in Washington who you would all trust, I think, who still think
00:58:18.940 that Durham is going to come up with some interesting stuff.
00:58:21.360 But everything is just a part of the picture.
00:58:23.700 You have to kind of put it together yourself.
00:58:28.680 But clearly the FISA thing in which the FBI misrepresented the evidence in order to wiretap
00:58:36.780 a former low-level Trump campaign aide, Carter Page, because that would be a doorway into
00:58:44.600 the larger Trump campaign.
00:58:46.220 It's not because Carter Page was the most important person in the world.
00:58:49.160 It was because that would open a door into the Trump campaign, which they were investigating
00:58:54.760 during the campaign.
00:58:58.160 If you're not reading The Washington Examiner and following Byron York, you're reading,
00:59:03.440 I don't know what you're reading.
00:59:04.500 You should be following The Washington Examiner.
00:59:06.380 It is really, really good.
00:59:07.820 We read it every single day.
00:59:09.920 Byron is the chief political correspondent and author of the book Obsession, also another
00:59:15.700 must-read, and the host of The Byron York Show.
00:59:18.500 Thank you so much, Byron.
00:59:19.440 We'll talk again.
00:59:20.480 Thank you, Glenn.
00:59:21.160 It was a pleasure.
00:59:22.300 You bet.

00:59:29.260 Yeah.
00:59:29.840 It's true.

00:59:32.000 I've been bathing in it.

00:59:37.060 Does it?
00:59:37.340 It looks, yeah.
00:59:37.920 The swelling hasn't gone down around, because I have, I mean, I am ripped.
00:59:41.900 My abs are ripped.
00:59:42.940 Yeah.
00:59:43.420 Of course.
00:59:43.800 I've got swelling all around that area.
00:59:46.440 That's terrible.

01:01:13.200 10 seconds.
01:01:13.740 Station ID.
01:01:27.640 Yesterday, I told you about a New York Times article.
01:01:30.260 We have Donald Trump Jr. coming up in just a second.
01:01:32.640 There was an article in the New York Times came out yesterday reporting on a leaked interview
01:01:37.900 between the Iranian foreign minister and an economist, and it was never supposed to be
01:01:42.480 published.
01:01:43.680 The leaked interview comes from an Iranian resistance outlet based out of the UK called
01:01:49.880 Iran International.
01:01:51.060 The credentials are legitimate.
01:01:53.380 They've been nominated twice for the International Channel of the Year by the Association for International
01:01:59.520 Broadcasting.
01:02:01.360 Iran International's angle here was that the Iranian official was admitting out in the open
01:02:06.720 that, now, Stu, hold down.
01:02:10.400 I don't want you to flip back on your chair and whiplash or anything like that.
01:02:16.980 But their angle was that the Iranian official was admitting right out in the open that the
01:02:22.280 mullahs and the Republican Guard call the shots in Iran, not the elected officials.
01:02:27.980 What?
01:02:28.980 Now, this is a time that you would like to have Blaze TV because we are our faces have just
01:02:35.180 become the emojis with the big eyes.
01:02:38.960 What?
01:02:40.060 What?
01:02:40.780 I mean, we're surprised.
01:02:42.300 Call us shocked.
01:02:43.960 Everyone knows that.
01:02:45.620 But what was buried in this story?
01:02:50.020 Something that we are going to talk to Donald Trump Jr. about and also get an update on his
01:02:56.800 dad and what they are working on right now for the future.
01:03:00.260 Coming up next.
01:03:01.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:03:06.500 You ever heard of a phone account takeover?
01:03:08.800 It's when a cybercriminal tricks your phone company into assigning your phone number to a
01:03:12.980 new SIM card or moves your number to a new carrier.
01:03:16.740 When they do this, it allows them to access your online bank accounts, the credit cards,
01:03:20.780 and so much more.
01:03:22.580 These people are out there.
01:03:24.240 They are crafty.
01:03:25.400 A lot of them are Russians, believe it or not.
01:03:28.780 It is important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect our everyday life.
01:03:35.680 Now, there are warriors out there looking.
01:03:37.380 Nobody can stop everything.
01:03:38.460 But I will tell you that LifeLock is the best in the business.
01:03:44.220 LifeLock, they can't monitor all transactions.
01:03:46.500 Nobody can.
01:03:47.280 But they have a team that is watching the things that you might miss on your own or other places
01:03:52.480 might miss.
01:03:53.700 And then they also have a dedicated team to help you clean up that mess if there happens
01:03:58.040 to be some identity theft that happens in your life.
01:04:00.640 And that's really, really important.
01:04:03.640 LifeLock has been there for me and my family for years.

01:04:26.620 Yesterday we told you about a little nugget in a New York Times piece.
01:04:39.540 It was like third paragraph from the very end and it was not even commented on.
01:04:43.520 And it talked about how the Iranian foreign ministers let it slip that John Kerry had
01:04:48.360 personally advised him that Israel had struck Iranian interest in Syria at least 200 times.
01:04:55.420 Now, the White House yesterday said we're not going to talk about leaked tapes.
01:05:00.000 Iran said this was a leaked tape.
01:05:02.200 It was never supposed to be released.
01:05:03.780 It was given to a think tank.
01:05:05.300 It was supposed to be held for posterity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:05:09.340 And the White House isn't commenting on this.
01:05:13.400 Really?
01:05:14.060 They're not commenting.
01:05:15.080 So, the interview actually happened.
01:05:19.700 The media is not stumbling over themselves to get to the bottom of whether John Kerry leaked
01:05:25.460 classified information of an ally to their number one enemy and an enemy of the United States.
01:05:32.280 Google the story.
01:05:33.480 No one is asking the question.
01:05:35.440 Now, Google the story of Trump leaking classified information to the Russians in the Oval Office.
01:05:43.220 They went insane.
01:05:45.480 That story isn't even true.
01:05:47.280 That story.
01:05:47.760 But Google that story.
01:05:48.860 That's there.
01:05:49.820 They question that.
01:05:52.040 Every major news outlet in the country and the world were running the same angle.
01:05:56.980 But nobody is saying anything about this.
01:06:00.680 So, it's some anonymous source.
01:06:02.860 It was some anonymous source when they said this about Trump, except the National Security
01:06:09.560 Advisor and the Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy, both in the room at the time,
01:06:15.400 said that never happened.
01:06:17.240 And they weren't known to be Trump lovers.
01:06:19.320 They said that never happened.
01:06:21.100 But that didn't stop the media.
01:06:22.800 The job of the media is to hold the government accountable.
01:06:26.080 But they're not doing it.
01:06:29.140 It doesn't.
01:06:29.900 It doesn't.
01:06:30.320 The laws don't apply, it seems, to some underground political elite.
01:06:33.800 And John Kerry is in that protected zone.
01:06:37.020 So, did he or did he not leak information about the Israelis to the Iranians?
01:06:47.340 Well, he said yesterday that these allegations are unequivocally false.
01:06:51.980 This never happened, either when I was Secretary of State or since.
01:06:56.820 But then the State Department released information saying the information that Kerry allegedly leaked was already public knowledge and not classified.
01:07:08.460 John Kerry said it never happened.
01:07:11.520 The State Department said it happened, but it was no big deal.
01:07:14.960 Which is it?
01:07:15.980 The guy sits on the National Security Council.
01:07:19.660 Which is it?
01:07:21.640 The comment on this and so much more is Donald Trump Jr.
01:07:25.820 Hey, Don, how are you?
01:07:27.640 I'm doing well, yourself?
01:07:30.240 I'm good.
01:07:30.980 I'm good.
01:07:31.360 I think you and your family often say hi to your dad for us.
01:07:34.620 How's he doing?
01:07:36.260 He's doing well.
01:07:37.160 I just saw him a few minutes ago.
01:07:38.380 So, he's doing really well.
01:07:39.780 And, you know, I think you're saying it really well.
01:07:43.060 I mean, it's sort of amazing what you can get away with if you're a Democrat.
01:07:46.060 You know, I wrote the book about liberal privilege, but we're seeing it more and more every day.
01:07:50.840 Whether it's John Kerry, whether it's Eric Swalwell sitting on the House Intelligence Committee,
01:07:54.880 whilst I guess it's okay for him to sleep with a Chinese spy, it seems like a double standard.
01:08:00.520 I would think, Glenn, that these people would lose their minds if someone in the Trump administration did this.
01:08:04.220 Oh, they would have, and they rightfully should have, if your dad, I mean, this is what's crazy.
01:08:10.500 If your dad were giving secrets to the Russians, he should have been impeached.
01:08:16.420 It would have been a big deal.
01:08:18.040 But he wasn't.
01:08:19.740 And they knew it the whole time, and they ran with it just to destroy your father, his legacy, and his chances of winning a second time.
01:08:28.520 But now we actually have evidence that somebody is doing this, and they don't care.
01:08:35.660 Wait.
01:08:36.260 A hundred percent.
01:08:37.000 And it's not like it's a random occurrence.
01:08:38.720 I mean, it's pretty clear that John Kerry has very close relationships with those in Iran in power.
01:08:44.500 So this isn't like it's something that's surprising and out of the blue.
01:08:48.120 I mean, these things are pretty well known.
01:08:50.200 And, you know, I'm pretty sure they would have talked about the various violations, whether Hatch Act or otherwise, of all of the things that he's been doing had he been a Republican.
01:08:59.580 But because he's not, he's totally immune from any prosecution or criticism, even, from a media who just refuses to do their stated job of their profession.
01:09:09.740 You know, it's one thing to attack you guys personally, and I honestly, Don, don't know how you guys live through it.
01:09:17.500 I really don't.
01:09:18.120 I have so much respect for your family, for your father, for Melania, all of you guys, for what you put up with.
01:09:24.780 And, I mean, I would have just, I would have been on the roof of a building like a postal worker at some point.
01:09:30.200 I mean, I don't know how you did it and still continue to do it.
01:09:34.420 But, you know, the one thing, it's one thing coming after you.
01:09:38.820 It's another to actually make real accomplishments in the Middle East, things that people have been trying to do since the 1940s.
01:09:48.860 You did them.
01:09:50.800 Nobody recognized them at the time.
01:09:52.540 And now, in less than 100 days, everything's coming undone.
01:09:57.200 Well, that's what's really scary.
01:09:58.300 I mean, they're literally referring, you know, peace in the Middle East was sort of like the holy grail of geopolitical politics.
01:10:04.420 And we actually did it.
01:10:06.080 My father's administration actually did it.
01:10:08.780 Now you have business opportunities, you know, flights between Israel and other parts of the Middle East.
01:10:14.220 They all probably wanted to open up that door, but there was a, you know, a long history that made it a little bit hard.
01:10:19.900 Now, Donald Trump opened that door.
01:10:22.300 And within a few weeks, not only is John Kerry seemingly fueling the Iranians, the world's number one leading state sponsor of terror, but doing it at the expense of our number one ally in the region, Israel.
01:10:37.480 You know, we're bombing the Middle East again after, you know, sort of trying to end the endless wars, all of these things that are so popular with the American public, not so much with the Washington, D.C. establishment and sort of the military industrial complex to sort of use the old fashioned term there.
01:10:54.940 But they're reversing one of the most successful foreign policy missions ever.
01:11:02.280 And they've done so in 100 days.
01:11:03.680 It's truly impressive.
01:11:05.320 I grossly underestimated Joe Biden's ability to screw things up.
01:11:09.180 I knew it would be bad.
01:11:10.440 I didn't realize it would be this bad.
01:11:11.940 I didn't know it would be this fast.
01:11:14.420 I figured it would be bad, but not this fast.
01:11:18.140 I mean, look what happened on the border.
01:11:20.680 And, you know, now nobody cares about the cages.
01:11:24.080 You know, nobody cares about the policies.
01:11:25.840 He's reversing himself in some cases where he's going back and doing exactly what your father did.
01:11:31.640 But it's a mess down there.
01:11:33.540 It's an absolute mess.
01:11:34.820 In days, he created that.
01:11:38.960 Correct.
01:11:39.400 And they're wondering, they're running around saying, oh, how did this happen?
01:11:42.380 I mean, when you give someone, you offer someone everything for free, you're going to get free health care, free education.
01:11:49.080 This was a welcome ticket.
01:11:50.460 You know, they get to give Kamala Harris's book to children at the border.
01:11:54.480 Imagine someone in the Trump administration did that.
01:11:57.160 You know, the indoctrination of youth continues.
01:12:01.480 It's not just in our public schools anymore.
01:12:03.140 It's now at the border in Joe Biden's cages.
01:12:05.900 You know, this stuff never ends.
01:12:07.700 And yet, again, if it was a Trump administration official, people would be losing their minds.
01:12:13.640 It would drive, you know, a multiple week long news cycle.
01:12:17.740 When Joe Biden does it, he gets a total pass.
01:12:20.720 And they don't even discuss these things.
01:12:22.120 I mean, you know, they're no longer cages.
01:12:24.020 They were only cages for the four years between the Obama administration and the Biden administration.
01:12:30.220 Before and after that four-year period of time, they're migrant facilities where they're helping children.
01:12:37.120 I mean, it's absolutely insane.
01:12:39.400 And, you know, what's scary going on is it feels like the American public, while there are some and probably many of your listeners get it, so many are still influenced by a mainstream media that has shown to be nothing but partisan hacks.
01:12:51.380 I mean, there's literally nothing genuine, honest, or real about today's mainstream media, and yet many Americans still don't see that.
01:13:01.420 So, tomorrow, Joe Biden is going to get up, and I don't know how they're going to keep him awake until 9 o'clock at night, but he's going to get up and he's going to speak.
01:13:13.040 Usually, this is when a president will say, you know, he'll spell out big ideas and ask for money.
01:13:18.200 In 100 days, he has already put in legislation over $10 trillion in spending.
01:13:29.360 I don't know how much more you can ask for, but, you know, not that they asked us for it.
01:13:35.380 I mean, they should just do this speech at the Fed.
01:13:37.980 Hey, print some more money.
01:13:39.240 I want to do these things.
01:13:41.500 What do we expect to see tomorrow?
01:13:43.320 What do you think we're going to see tomorrow?
01:13:45.620 Well, listen, I think you're going to see, you know, a bunch of Democrat soundbites that have no basis in economics.
01:13:52.540 You know, I'm not a master of these things in terms of macroeconomic policy and monetary policy, but what's going on is crazy.
01:14:02.020 Like, you've got to realize, like, this money has to be paid back, and I get it's great to be able to bribe the people with their own money,
01:14:09.000 even though they're only getting a small fraction of the stimulus money, right?
01:14:11.940 You say, you sign a multiple trillion dollar bill, here's a couple of grand, no worries.
01:14:16.360 You know, they don't explain to the people that, guess what?
01:14:18.820 Each family owns approximately $6,000, so you get $2,000, but you owe $6,000 now.
01:14:24.000 Eventually, you've got to pay the piper, Glenn, and so this is not sustainable.
01:14:28.940 It doesn't work.
01:14:30.220 We are putting our children and our grandchildren in debts that they will never be able to get out of.
01:14:37.480 And, you know, they're doing it okay.
01:14:38.920 No one's saying anything because it's Joe Biden.
01:14:41.000 He's trying to be really nice.
01:14:42.400 He's not.
01:14:43.300 He's really nice in soundbites and on TV, and yet if you look at the policies that he's pushing,
01:14:48.560 there's nothing more than partisanry and there's nothing more than vindictiveness within them.
01:14:52.520 So, you know, again, he gets to have that pass because the profession known as the media simply no longer exists the way it was supposed to.
01:15:02.200 Do you believe, I mean, you have to sit around and talk about this.
01:15:05.820 Your dad built an economy that was actual, that was real.
01:15:09.180 It was starting to work for the people down at the bottom of the end or the bottom of the ladder, and that's when it's real.
01:15:15.780 This is going to be a sugar rush, and I think we're going to have a – I mean, you just can't open an economy and not have a boom.
01:15:23.280 Of course we're going to have a boom.
01:15:24.960 But it's also, with all of this bogus money, it is – I mean, it's going to be unlike anything we've ever seen.
01:15:31.280 Maybe 1929, up and down.
01:15:34.560 Oh, 100%.
01:15:35.760 And then you combine that with, you know, wanting to raise tax rates on, you know, corporate America who employs so many people.
01:15:43.200 You do that by wanting to more – seemingly more than double the capital gains tax for people who are investing in those companies so they can hire.
01:15:51.460 I mean, you're creating a disaster of epic proportions.
01:15:56.000 What that will do to the economy is truly – it's scary.
01:16:00.520 And, I mean, this isn't just like, okay, well, we believe in a little bit higher taxes.
01:16:04.080 These are draconian taxes that they want to put on Americans, whether it's corporate or, you know, civilian, at a time when they're literally coming out of a global pandemic.
01:16:16.040 You know, I understand the Democrats' notion of, you know, you can tax everyone.
01:16:19.340 You know, Margaret Thatcher said it best when you said the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money.
01:16:24.700 But to do so at a time like this when the economy and small business, you know, they've been teetering on the brink for a while, this will be like the death knell to so many of those businesses if they do that.
01:16:40.260 When people pull their money out of the markets, when they're worried about these sort of things, it's going to be a disaster.
01:16:45.340 And the fact that no one's saying that, again, I don't care how you feel about these things in normal times, but if you're going to put that kind of, you know, hammer down at literally the end of a pandemic, I don't know what these people expect.
01:16:59.760 I really don't.
01:17:00.460 I mean, you wake up and you wonder if you're watching The Onion when you're seeing the news on a daily basis because it's like a caricature of itself.
01:17:09.620 We're talking to Donald Trump Jr.
01:17:11.440 Don, I don't know if you guys are paying attention to the Great Reset and what is coming with these ESGs, but it explains the corporations.
01:17:20.600 It explains why so many countries around the world, you know, did some black ops work against your dad, et cetera, et cetera.
01:17:30.220 I think that he was he was this would never happen under your father.
01:17:36.300 And I think they knew that.
01:17:37.740 And this is one of the reasons why he is out.
01:17:39.460 But I urge you, if you haven't yet, to look into the Great Reset from the the World Economic Forum and ESGs has just been pushed through in the European Parliament.
01:17:51.320 Of course, I mean, I'm not as familiar with it as I probably should be.
01:17:55.300 But the reality is this when all of these foreign governments are going against an individual like my father, there's a reason for that.
01:18:02.700 And it's not because he was good for their economy.
01:18:05.480 He was good for ours.
01:18:06.900 America has been like the moronic, like redheaded stepchild of the world for so long, paying for all of their things, subsidizing the U.N.
01:18:15.900 to ridiculous numbers, subsidizing everyone, whether it's NATO or otherwise.
01:18:20.960 Donald Trump just said, hey, we expect everyone to carry their fair share.
01:18:24.080 Of course they hated Donald Trump.
01:18:25.900 They had the gravy train of a lifetime.
01:18:29.340 America is just going to be a dumb idiot and pay for all of our stuff.
01:18:34.180 They're going to subsidize it.
01:18:35.420 They're going to be able to, you know, China, free trade.
01:18:37.260 Oh, yeah, they really want free trade.
01:18:38.520 They don't want free trade.
01:18:39.400 They want America to be a fool.
01:18:41.040 They want one sided free trade where they get to do whatever they want.
01:18:44.280 And if America does anything, they raise holy hell.
01:18:47.780 That's what's going on for so long.
01:18:49.420 So I don't want foreign governments to love our president because it means you're a schmuck.
01:18:55.940 If these people love you so much, it means you're being a schmuck, in my opinion, especially as it relates to monetary policy and these sorts of things.
01:19:03.420 And so Joe Biden's reverting that because he doesn't know what's going on.
01:19:06.480 He'll put what he'll sign whatever the radical left puts in front of him.
01:19:10.140 You know, in between naps, he'll do a couple of those things.
01:19:13.800 They'll put him on a teleprompter.
01:19:15.200 He'll even botch that every time.
01:19:16.780 But no one cares because no one in the media is going to call it out.
01:19:19.540 That's why it's so important for guys like yourself.
01:19:21.300 And it's why I've remained so vocal.
01:19:23.280 I mean, I could very easily go back to, you know, making money and being in real estate and doing those kind of things.
01:19:28.220 But there's too much at stake when I got five kids.
01:19:31.220 I want to leave them a country they recognize.
01:19:34.160 I know, Don.
01:19:35.440 It's great to have you on.
01:19:36.900 Always is.
01:19:37.500 We'd love to have you on more often.
01:19:39.000 Donald Trump Jr.

01:20:31.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:35.400 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:55.460 COVID virus.
01:20:56.540 We have an update on how the states are doing.
01:21:01.020 Huh.
01:21:03.200 Wow.
01:21:03.760 I guess it didn't pan out for everybody on the Texas and Florida going to get us all killed.
01:21:13.540 For some reason, that's not working out.
01:21:16.300 But the Biden administration deeply cares.
01:21:18.980 And that's why they have a conference call with all 50 governors.
01:21:22.760 And, well, I mean, the vice president and president have missed almost every single one.
01:21:29.760 And the 50 governors are like, hey, can we get the people who are actually in charge of this, you know, on the White House conference call?
01:21:38.620 Could we maybe get them so we can ask them some questions?
01:21:41.460 No.
01:21:42.160 No.
01:21:42.400 You don't have any questions of legitimacy to ask.
01:21:46.200 I mean, what are you going to ask them?
01:21:48.980 Your birth is so puny, I don't know if you'd be able to comprehend their really, really brilliant answers.
01:21:59.240 Uh-huh.
01:21:59.920 So, may I suggest that you call Goldline and ask them about physical gold or silver?
01:22:21.240 However, Stu, when we first started talking about the dollar is going to collapse, and, you know, for years, I mean, it seemed insane to everybody.
01:22:30.080 But for years, you were like, oh, dear God, shut up.
01:22:32.600 Shut up about this.
01:22:34.040 Yeah.
01:22:34.340 And it seemed like there was no way the dollar could collapse.
01:22:38.040 Is there a way that you can see where the dollar doesn't collapse now?
01:22:41.940 It's scary.
01:22:43.700 It's a serious question.
01:22:44.880 I mean, how does anyone think that this is going to last?
01:22:50.480 Again, like the dollar might be around, but it's going to be worth a lot less.
01:22:54.000 That's pretty much a certainty.
01:22:57.340 Nah.
01:22:58.920 Nah.
01:22:59.300 Not a certainty?
01:23:00.040 It's all going to be fine.
01:23:02.000 It's all going to be fine.
01:23:02.640 So, if you believe that, you know, I've got some swampland to sell you here that is wonderful, and just call me and get those details.
01:23:13.780 If you're a smart individual and know that there's no way, mathematically, this can last.
01:23:19.320 There's no way.
01:23:21.420 Please call Goldline now.
01:23:24.100 They're waiting for your call.
01:23:25.280 Find out about gold or silver.
01:23:27.220 See if it is right for you.
01:23:28.440 It is right for my family.
01:23:30.320 But have physical gold.
01:23:32.140 Don't get paper gold.
01:23:33.480 Paper gold is just as worth.
01:23:35.560 Why would you say, I want something that is not a fiat currency, and I'm going to buy it in paper, so I don't actually have it?
01:23:45.700 There's not enough gold.
01:23:47.100 For all the paper that is being issued, there's not enough gold in the world to cover that.
01:23:51.700 If this really does happen, what do you think is going to happen?
01:23:55.220 Oh, yeah, you'll get your gold.
01:23:56.540 Yeah, you're going to get your gold.
01:23:57.820 And it's guaranteed.
01:23:59.720 Guaranteed.
01:24:00.360 I mean, at some point.
01:24:01.040 We don't have enough.
01:24:02.360 Come on.
01:24:03.840 Physical gold.
01:24:05.680 Find out what a qualified IRA means and learn about their 6% free metals promotion for self-directed IRA acquisitions.
01:24:15.260 It's a great special that you should not miss out on.

01:24:25.760 Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.
01:24:28.300 After months of delays in COVID-19 excuses and 100 days into his presidency, Biden will finally give his first joint address to Congress.
01:24:36.360 Some predict his plan will be like JFK's moon landing challenge.
01:24:39.300 But will it be closer to FDR's New Deal nightmare?
01:24:42.980 Glenn Beck hosts a live reaction show with the great one Mark Levin as they break down the address that could completely transform our economy.
01:24:50.440 Watch it live with Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.
01:24:52.800 Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blazedv.com slash Glenn.
01:24:56.020 Stu asked me a few minutes ago, you know, if you could take anything with you, what was the good thing that you would take with you from COVID?
01:25:05.740 And I'm going to get into that because he's got an old list.
01:25:08.060 We're getting into that here in a second.
01:25:09.740 But I want to use air quotes when I use the word positive because I'm using that positive very, very loosely here.
01:25:20.640 But the one thing I wish we could take along with us is this we, for the first time, at least in my lifetime, got to see and experience the reality of what so-called authorities really know and what they really believe.
01:25:41.340 And we saw firsthand they don't believe in you and they don't know jack squat.
01:25:46.380 They're doing a job and they're doing the best that they can.
01:25:51.200 You know, not all of them are bad people.
01:25:52.960 I think that's a that's a bad thing that we have started to label people.
01:25:56.780 Anybody who is part of this, we just assume that everybody is somehow part of an evil group or they're just they're doing it intentionally.
01:26:04.540 They're not a lot of people just don't have any idea what they're doing and they're doing the best that they can.
01:26:11.900 And they're not part of a global conspiracy.
01:26:13.760 And I and I do, I mean, it's not lost on me that I'm saying it's not part of a global conspiracy.
01:26:20.500 Anyway, let's just assume for a minute that everyone involved from Fauci to Trump to Dr.
01:26:27.620 Birx, all of it, all of it, people doing the gain of function research on bat coronaviruses.
01:26:33.660 Let's give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they're not part of a Soros Gates globalist conspiracy that used covid-19 to usher in the Great Reset and control our lives.
01:26:45.200 It might be true, but let's just pretend it's not for a second.
01:26:49.560 You can leave all those accusations aside because you don't need them.
01:26:56.000 We what we need to really recognize and take with us from this is that the so-called authorities have no idea what they're doing.
01:27:08.800 That's the biggest argument against conspiracy theories.
01:27:11.800 You're like, you think they could pull this off?
01:27:14.980 They don't know their ass from their elbow.
01:27:17.100 What are you talking about?
01:27:19.260 The people we have put in place exactly exactly for and precisely to manage global human diseases and public health issues were wrong.
01:27:30.320 Then wrong again, then wrong again, a dozen more times they built and used models at the very beginning that were wrong, dramatically overestimating the case fatality rate for covid-19 that led to unnecessary lockdowns.
01:27:45.340 I'm not saying anybody did this, that they were doing their best, but we just didn't know.
01:27:50.500 Then they urged no mask wearing.
01:27:52.380 Then they urged mask wearing.
01:27:53.740 Then they urged two or three masks.
01:27:55.920 Now I think we're back to no.
01:27:57.040 I don't know where we are in that.
01:27:58.660 The social distancing guidelines of six feet or three feet for kids.
01:28:03.920 That's entirely made up.
01:28:05.880 That's entirely made up.
01:28:09.240 Study after study has shown that for the U.S. state by state and globally nation by nation, there's no statistical difference in how the virus spread and what the fatality rate was across any given populace.
01:28:25.240 Lockdowns and mask mandates did not impact the spread of the virus.
01:28:30.260 Otherwise, we would have different results now in Texas and Florida when we now that doesn't mean that anyone was bad.
01:28:41.280 It doesn't mean that Fauci or bricks or anybody or bad people.
01:28:44.740 They're doing the best that they could if we give them the benefit of the doubt with the information they had.
01:28:49.460 And given the the context of politics and the bureaucracy in D.C. and the media.
01:28:55.580 The mistakes that were made resulted in real negative outcomes, including decimating the U.S. economy and violating so many rights.
01:29:06.460 That's why 60 percent of Americans are skeptical of the government, their official covid-19 numbers.
01:29:14.020 About 25 percent of likely U.S. voters have indicated they don't plan on getting the covid-19 vaccine.
01:29:21.880 Why?
01:29:23.780 Because we don't really feel like we've had anything that was true.
01:29:28.400 We we we see other things that are bad like this, but this isn't the bubonic plague.
01:29:36.900 And because we have so overreacted for such a long time, it was fine to overreact for the first month, two months.
01:29:44.760 But once we hit summer, we were all kind of looking at it, going, OK, I think we know what we have here.
01:29:49.140 And it's not as bad as everybody said.
01:29:50.980 And everybody has made, you know, Fauci into this golden calf that we're supposed to just, you know, worship.
01:30:01.160 Now, if the government doesn't have anything.
01:30:04.580 Going for it on covid-19, I mean, if they screwed it up this badly on covid-19, all of the all of the so-called experts that got so much so wrong.
01:30:14.720 Is there a possibility that they don't have it right other places?
01:30:23.040 Take, for example, 94 percent of professional Wall Street stockbrokers are bullish looking at U.S. stocks over the next 12 months and not to be outdone.
01:30:33.720 Outdone, but retail investors, mom and pop investors like you and me are equally committed with nine point eight long bets for every one short bet.
01:30:45.160 That's 98 percent of the people think this is going to be great.
01:30:49.320 It's going to be a boom.
01:30:50.440 Usually when everyone's in the boat.
01:30:53.440 It's bad, especially when the stragglers like you and me, we start to glom on.
01:30:57.960 So wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:31:01.380 We just experienced the highest ranked and most powerful government officials.
01:31:08.340 We experienced that they got almost everything wrong with covid-19 wrong diagnosis of how deadly it was wrong treatment in face mask lockdown, wrong policies on medical treatments, not protecting our older population with true quarantines for those most vulnerable.
01:31:22.860 But when it comes to the economy and money, we don't really talk about Janet Yellen, Jerome Powell, Joe Biden, do they have the slightest idea of what they're doing when they are telling us they're doing things that have never been done before?
01:31:43.100 I see, I just think that's a problem because you're you're dealing with the money that we all have in our savings account.
01:31:53.900 Anything that you saved could be gone because they're trying something we've never done before.
01:31:59.500 Now, covid was 19.
01:32:01.100 The covid-19 was something we had never seen in our lifetimes.
01:32:04.820 And look at what the government did.
01:32:06.720 I got news for you.
01:32:07.860 No one has ever seen what's coming in our global financial system either.
01:32:15.020 64.
01:32:15.540 Listen to these numbers.
01:32:16.660 64 percent of all of the new currency created across the entire world.
01:32:23.240 In the past 12 months has been U.S. dollars.
01:32:27.400 64 percent.
01:32:29.460 The previous one year high was 14 percent of all currency was U.S. dollars.
01:32:35.880 64 percent retail investors made 27 percent of all U.S. stock trades in Q1.
01:32:43.880 Ten years ago, retail investors accounted for only 5 percent of total stock trades.
01:32:48.520 So that means if it crashes, you're involved.
01:32:52.100 The Fed has printed currency to buy two point five trillion dollars in new government bonds,
01:32:59.040 plus nearly a trillion in corporate bonds and ETFs.
01:33:04.240 Prior to the year 2020, the Federal Reserve had never bought any of those things.
01:33:10.940 They had never purchased any of those things ever at all.
01:33:17.300 So we have no idea what's going on with the stock market.
01:33:22.960 Every indication shows U.S. stocks are historically overvalued compared to earnings and corporate revenues.
01:33:28.820 There is no precedent ever for the Fed printing more than 25 percent worth of GDP in new currency
01:33:36.800 and using it to prop up the government and the entire financial sector.
01:33:41.260 Now, much like the lockdowns and the masks and the closed schools,
01:33:46.980 this is just a live experiment that we're just doing, and you're the guinea pig.
01:33:53.540 Effective zero-rate interest for new debt,
01:33:57.380 trillions in new currency digitally printed and used to buy bonds, stocks,
01:34:02.180 keeping companies that Uncle Sam wants to keep afloat afloat,
01:34:05.260 and keeping Uncle Sam afloat.
01:34:08.060 Stocks blown up to the largest asset bubble in human history.
01:34:11.480 But don't worry, the authorities have this.
01:34:14.140 They have it.
01:34:15.420 You know, Fauci may be taking his punches now,
01:34:17.960 but I expect a couple of years from now it's going to be Powell and Yellen.
01:34:22.500 Yeah.
01:34:23.540 Assuming that they have the best intentions.
01:34:26.020 We shouldn't assume they know what they're doing
01:34:28.020 or that they actually have a plan that you or I would agree with.
01:34:31.900 See, the phenomenon that I want to take from COVID
01:34:39.840 is the potent director's fallacy.
01:34:43.580 And I'd like to take that because we have recognized it as a fallacy
01:34:50.000 that our directors know exactly what to do.
01:34:55.420 And this comes from a time of economic expansion or we win wars or whatever,
01:35:00.140 and people are like, see, they know what they're doing.
01:35:03.180 But once there's trouble, we really see they don't know.
01:35:05.860 It's, I like to call it the Wizard of Oz effect.
01:35:10.880 Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
01:35:14.440 Powell, Yellen, Fauci, Biden.
01:35:19.900 They're all behind the curtain.
01:35:21.360 And they're just pulling levers and knobs.
01:35:23.180 They have absolutely no idea what the hell they're doing.
01:35:27.200 And they hope that it works out until Dorothy arrives.
01:35:32.580 Because at the end of the day, we're all going to find out
01:35:35.200 they're nothing but traveling salesmen.
01:35:37.240 That's it.
01:35:39.120 Don't buy what they're hawking.
01:35:41.340 So Diane wrote in about her experience with American financing.
01:35:54.880 She says, I'm a realtor of 34 years, and this was my personal refi loan.
01:36:00.280 And it went incredibly smoothly.
01:36:02.700 Weekly updates were great.
01:36:04.120 Knowing where the process was on a daily basis through the website was nice.
01:36:07.920 I could look at it at any time.
01:36:09.480 And best of all, I'm saving $400 a month on payments.
01:36:12.700 I highly recommend American financing.
01:36:16.360 Diane, thanks for writing in.
01:36:17.980 It appears that you're one of the many people who discover on a daily basis
01:36:21.120 what it's like to be treated the American financing way.
01:36:24.800 You're treated with respect.
01:36:26.120 You're treated as family.
01:36:27.200 You're treated like a small business treats people.
01:36:30.060 Because that's what they are.
01:36:30.880 They're still a family-owned and operated business.
01:36:34.540 And they will cover you coast to coast.
01:36:37.040 But it still has that mentality.
01:36:39.040 And they don't work for the bank.
01:36:40.580 They work for you.
01:36:42.020 So you want to save money?
01:36:43.380 You want to get the right loan?
01:36:45.360 Call American Financing now.

01:36:53.100 10 seconds.
01:36:53.880 Station ID.
01:36:54.280 So if you could take anything from the COVID experience,
01:37:11.480 I would take what we've learned, how fast we can turn into a dictatorship,
01:37:15.920 and that our authorities really don't know jack squat.
01:37:19.200 They're bluffing.
01:37:20.820 But I'd also maybe take working from home.
01:37:24.700 I do like that.
01:37:26.860 Keeps me closer to my family.
01:37:28.160 But most Americans can't do that.
01:37:31.960 You know, you're working at the 7-Eleven,
01:37:34.260 or you're working construction,
01:37:37.080 or whatever you're doing.
01:37:37.840 You're not doing it from home.
01:37:39.040 You know what?
01:37:39.560 I'm going to build that shed at my house.
01:37:42.740 I don't think that'll work.
01:37:44.460 I don't think that'll work.
01:37:46.300 Stu, you had a list earlier this week of the things that you would keep from COVID.
01:37:52.040 Yeah, tell me if you disagree with any of these.
01:37:53.640 No traffic?
01:37:56.480 Yes.
01:37:56.940 I would keep that.
01:37:58.380 Social distancing.
01:37:59.460 Now, look, I understand people like to gather.
01:38:01.620 I don't mean that.
01:38:02.400 I just mean I want you to stand six feet away from me at least.
01:38:05.140 It has nothing to do with COVID.
01:38:06.880 I just don't want the Seinfeld close talker thing coming back.
01:38:10.260 We got rid of it.
01:38:11.060 Let's keep it going.
01:38:12.100 How did you ever work with me?
01:38:14.440 How do you work with me?
01:38:15.580 Because I'm like a hugger.
01:38:17.120 I mean...
01:38:17.980 Yeah, I don't...
01:38:19.380 I mean, you are sometimes about...
01:38:21.380 I don't...
01:38:21.780 I mean, look, hugger is a different thing than talking, you know,
01:38:24.940 six inches away from somebody's face.
01:38:26.920 There's no reason.
01:38:27.640 Okay.
01:38:27.940 I sit across the table from you and do a radio show,
01:38:30.560 and we're, you know, five or six feet away every day.
01:38:32.920 Like, that's fine.
01:38:33.420 We can hear each other.
01:38:34.440 It's easy.
01:38:36.040 Hand washing.
01:38:36.900 Keep washing your hands, boys and girls.
01:38:39.140 That bothers me that we have to tell people that.
01:38:42.100 You know, it is really weird, but like...
01:38:44.320 Yeah.
01:38:44.600 It's just something we should just kind of keep around.
01:38:47.540 Streaming new movies at home.
01:38:49.940 I'm in.
01:38:50.800 I want to keep that.
01:38:51.720 Now, I want the theaters to stay around, too.
01:38:53.780 I know I want the best of both worlds here.
01:38:56.600 So, I went to see...
01:38:57.440 I went to see Godzilla with my son this weekend.
01:39:00.120 We saw it already on...
01:39:01.680 I know.
01:39:02.280 We saw it already on TV the day it came out,
01:39:05.600 and it was good.
01:39:06.300 But it was nothing like seeing it on the big screen.
01:39:09.020 First of all, it was not good.
01:39:10.640 It is a...
01:39:11.840 I can't even finish it.
01:39:13.420 It's so bad.
01:39:14.420 I mean, and I like...
01:39:15.560 You don't like it.
01:39:16.260 I loved Godzilla.
01:39:17.180 The one with Bryan Cranston in it, the first one,
01:39:19.100 I thought it was great.
01:39:19.740 Really?
01:39:20.520 Okay.
01:39:20.800 This is...
01:39:21.400 The last one was terrible, though, too.
01:39:23.520 How about...
01:39:24.520 They're not great.
01:39:25.600 They're not great.
01:39:26.240 No, they're not great.
01:39:27.140 I mean, they...
01:39:27.860 It's a Godzilla movie.
01:39:29.400 So, as far as Godzilla movies go, it's fantastic.
01:39:33.820 No, it's not fantastic.
01:39:35.000 Mr. CGI, opposition to CGI, it looks like a cartoon.
01:39:39.100 It's not even...
01:39:39.960 It's not even...
01:39:40.280 It's so...
01:39:40.920 The CGI is so overpowering ridiculous.
01:39:44.140 This is...
01:39:44.560 I'm not...
01:39:45.120 This is not one of the things I want to keep from COVID.
01:39:47.340 Godzilla movies.
01:39:48.900 I don't think it's coming back.
01:39:50.420 How about drive-in theaters?
01:39:51.480 They made a bit of a comeback.
01:39:52.620 I thought that was cool.
01:39:53.920 During COVID.
01:39:54.680 I never went.
01:39:55.440 I never went.
01:39:56.120 Now, this one's going to be controversial,
01:39:57.700 but let me just say it.
01:39:59.120 Masks.
01:40:00.220 But only for Lena Dunham.
01:40:02.160 We just keep her...
01:40:03.380 Just for her.
01:40:06.680 Okay.
01:40:06.960 How about alcohol delivery?
01:40:09.500 Positive of COVID.
01:40:11.900 Now, again, this is...
01:40:12.700 That came in because of COVID?
01:40:13.580 Yeah, they wouldn't...
01:40:14.620 I mean, alcohol should always be delivered to anyone's home,
01:40:17.360 day or night.
01:40:17.840 Especially from restaurants.
01:40:19.100 Now, they have services that will do it,
01:40:20.580 but they...
01:40:21.020 At least in Texas, they changed the laws around this
01:40:23.240 because they're like,
01:40:23.760 oh, people don't need to go to church,
01:40:25.160 but they've got to have...
01:40:26.480 They've got to have a Moscow mule delivered to their home.
01:40:28.920 That's got to happen.
01:40:30.020 True.
01:40:30.640 It is true.
01:40:31.600 God works, but it's a long time.
01:40:33.860 It's a long time.
01:40:34.580 You've got to really work for it and everything else.
01:40:36.960 Alcohol works the minute you get it.
01:40:38.600 It's true.
01:40:39.620 Now, Glenn, this one you will appreciate, I think.
01:40:42.860 Self-quarantining.
01:40:45.240 The ultimate excuse to get out of a social event.
01:40:48.680 I do like that.
01:40:49.260 I can't.
01:40:49.460 I'm self-quarantined right now.
01:40:51.080 Unfortunately, I just can't make it.
01:40:53.340 That's a solid one.
01:40:54.220 Damn it.
01:40:54.460 I wish I could.
01:40:56.580 Working from home.
01:40:57.480 How do you feel about working from home?
01:40:58.520 You're working from home today.
01:41:00.180 I love it.
01:41:01.520 That's a big thing.
01:41:03.460 Telemedicine.
01:41:03.980 Not having to go to the doctors.
01:41:05.680 Now, that was around before,
01:41:06.780 but it is much more prominent now.
01:41:08.580 I think that's a good one.
01:41:09.620 Empty middle seats on planes.
01:41:11.240 I want to keep that.
01:41:14.080 Yeah, I love it.
01:41:15.200 Good one.
01:41:15.760 How about no more April Fool's Day?
01:41:18.360 They basically canceled it in April 2020,
01:41:21.220 and then all the companies got to do their dumb little jokes
01:41:24.720 that no one laughs at, but they do anyway.
01:41:27.520 I'm fine getting rid of it forever.
01:41:30.200 Yeah, okay.
01:41:31.020 I'm good with that.
01:41:32.080 I don't see that as one of the real benefits of COVID.
01:41:36.940 I'm saying things I want to keep around,
01:41:38.340 like no more birthday candle blowing out
01:41:40.280 and then eating the cake right afterward.
01:41:42.100 That's a weird thing.
01:41:43.900 Think about it for a second.
01:41:45.300 It's weird.
01:41:45.880 No, I don't have to.
01:41:46.740 I think about it every time somebody blows the candles out.
01:41:50.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:42:02.500 Have one hamburger a month.
01:42:04.260 I'm not making this up.
01:42:05.900 Did you see Simon & Schuster has decided to change some of their cookbooks?
01:42:10.060 They're going to go in,
01:42:10.900 and they're going to make cookbooks with a lot less meat
01:42:14.860 because people shouldn't have meat now because of the environment.
01:42:18.880 I believe this is either the apocalypse or another civil war.
01:42:22.100 This is the way it starts.
01:42:23.020 I'm just saying, eating a perfect hamburger,
01:42:26.860 don't you dare even come close to me.
01:42:28.660 Don't.
01:42:29.020 Now, especially that I have a Rectech,
01:42:31.440 because Rectechs, their smart grill technology is amazing,
01:42:35.640 and you will never burn anything.
01:42:37.840 It will come out perfect every single time,
01:42:40.700 and you don't have to do very much at all,
01:42:42.580 and you can smoke your meat until it falls off the bone.
01:42:46.960 It is so good.
01:42:48.120 It grills, it smokes, it even bakes.
01:42:51.160 It's smart grill technology.
01:42:53.080 It's Rectech.
01:42:53.940 Sturdy, smart.
01:42:55.520 It's dinner time.

01:43:25.920 talk about the shots that everybody's supposed to get
01:43:29.140 when it comes to COVID,
01:43:29.940 but the guy we have with us now,
01:43:33.600 you probably know, Dr. Harvey Reich,
01:43:36.060 he's an epidemiology professor
01:43:37.980 at the Yale School of Public Health.
01:43:39.760 So this is his specialty.
01:43:41.580 Now, he's the guy who I guess we first heard of
01:43:45.740 during this pandemic because he said hydroxychloroquine works.
01:43:51.620 It's easy.
01:43:52.160 We have it.
01:43:52.860 It works.
01:43:53.720 It will help, you know, get rid of a lot of this stuff.
01:43:57.760 I know that I took hydroxychloroquine
01:43:59.940 when my family had COVID, everything else.
01:44:03.340 I never got it.
01:44:04.240 I stopped taking it.
01:44:05.360 Six months later, I've got COVID.
01:44:07.920 I think hydroxychloroquine was a miracle
01:44:12.520 and at least something that would slow things down
01:44:16.700 for a lot of people, but who am I to say?
01:44:20.080 Dr. Harvey Reich is here with us now.
01:44:22.680 Hi, doctor.
01:44:23.240 How are you?
01:44:24.000 Good morning.
01:44:24.540 How are you?
01:44:25.720 Good.
01:44:26.080 Thank you so much for speaking out,
01:44:28.100 whether you're right or wrong,
01:44:29.520 speaking out about the things that you believe in
01:44:31.500 and not bowing to the pressure of this new weird science rule
01:44:38.740 that we just don't question authority.
01:44:42.160 Let me talk to you about the vaccines.
01:44:47.620 I get so much heat because I've had COVID.
01:44:51.460 I'm not interested in getting the vaccine.
01:44:53.580 I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
01:44:55.140 I don't have a problem with the vaccine,
01:44:57.100 but I know my kids are young.
01:45:01.180 I'm not going to give it to them
01:45:02.860 because I don't think it's –
01:45:06.180 I think there's too many questions out there
01:45:08.240 about something that is brand new
01:45:09.700 that we've not had trials on.
01:45:13.140 If they needed it, my parents,
01:45:15.440 I would give it to my parents.
01:45:16.800 I encouraged my parents to take it.
01:45:19.040 If I were a little older and more frail,
01:45:21.360 I would take it.
01:45:22.140 I'm called insane for having those standards.
01:45:26.820 Am I?
01:45:28.360 No, you're completely rational.
01:45:30.560 And when people are calling you names
01:45:33.200 instead of debating the science,
01:45:35.220 you know, the tables have flipped.
01:45:37.700 The science –
01:45:38.700 you know, the real science,
01:45:39.680 the evidence is what matters.
01:45:41.340 And we know a couple days ago
01:45:43.420 proof of exactly your understanding
01:45:46.620 has been written in an article from Israel
01:45:50.880 where they actually looked at some 7 million people
01:45:54.480 and their experience from taking the vaccines
01:45:57.960 or having had COVID
01:45:59.460 or being unvaccinated
01:46:01.380 and not knowingly have had COVID.
01:46:03.520 And what they found is
01:46:05.000 that there was equal protection
01:46:06.760 from getting COVID either a second time
01:46:10.440 or after vaccination
01:46:11.920 from people who have been vaccinated
01:46:15.200 as the same as people
01:46:18.080 who've had COVID in the past.
01:46:19.380 And this means that their protection
01:46:22.280 from COVID is just as good.
01:46:24.340 It's 90% or higher
01:46:26.060 than the same as the vaccines
01:46:28.660 from getting COVID.
01:46:29.880 So then why is everybody pounding?
01:46:32.460 Nobody seems to be paying attention
01:46:34.320 to what we have going on in Israel.
01:46:36.740 We have a population
01:46:38.180 that has vaccinated.
01:46:40.860 They have herd immunity now.
01:46:43.900 And we're seeing different kinds of results.
01:46:48.160 We have the facts.
01:46:49.380 Why isn't anybody talking about this?
01:46:52.580 Well, because I think
01:46:53.480 there's different motivations
01:46:54.560 than just vaccinating people
01:46:56.980 for their health benefit.
01:46:59.460 I think we are in a mania.
01:47:02.800 There's no other way to put it
01:47:04.260 that people are convinced
01:47:06.240 as a matter of their religious assumptions
01:47:09.280 that vaccination is their creed
01:47:11.400 and it's a mania
01:47:13.840 that there's no discussion.
01:47:15.560 There's no pros and cons
01:47:17.400 that the cons don't matter
01:47:20.160 no matter what.
01:47:21.520 I think that what's more interesting
01:47:23.280 than Israel even
01:47:24.100 is United Arab Emirates
01:47:25.500 who've also vaccinated 60%
01:47:27.640 of their population
01:47:29.120 with essentially the same vaccine,
01:47:31.300 the Pfizer vaccine.
01:47:32.160 And I think their experience
01:47:35.360 is more realistic
01:47:36.420 that what one sees
01:47:39.520 is the mortality come down quickly,
01:47:41.660 but the case numbers not.
01:47:43.560 The case numbers came down
01:47:45.940 but much more slowly.
01:47:47.460 And that is what's to be expected
01:47:49.340 from vaccination.
01:47:50.320 And that's why,
01:47:51.360 even though we've been vaccinating
01:47:52.440 a lot in the U.S.,
01:47:53.620 that there's still cases occurring
01:47:55.120 and we do have herd immunity
01:47:56.500 in many states in the U.S.,
01:47:59.140 but it will be slow
01:48:00.440 and that doesn't matter.
01:48:01.680 And as I've been saying
01:48:02.860 for the whole year,
01:48:03.900 it's not the cases that matter,
01:48:05.780 it's the people who are hospitalized
01:48:07.200 and the people who die
01:48:08.920 from the disease that matter.
01:48:10.760 And people are just freaking out.
01:48:11.940 Because that's what separates...
01:48:13.060 Right, that's what separates this
01:48:15.120 from the flu
01:48:16.080 is how bad it gets
01:48:18.240 for so many people
01:48:19.340 and how many people
01:48:20.400 would die from it
01:48:21.600 compared to the flu.
01:48:22.920 But if you get it
01:48:23.780 and you're sick
01:48:24.520 and you're home
01:48:25.380 and you stay home
01:48:26.960 for a couple of weeks
01:48:27.760 and you don't have to go
01:48:28.620 to the hospital
01:48:29.100 and you don't die from it,
01:48:30.340 then it's just the flu.
01:48:33.140 Well, a couple of weeks
01:48:34.340 would be enough
01:48:35.000 to put a big dent
01:48:36.780 on people's economic viability
01:48:39.960 and so on.
01:48:41.700 It should be a couple of days.
01:48:44.020 Right.
01:48:44.120 And now we've got
01:48:45.440 half a dozen or more medications
01:48:47.440 to be used to treat this
01:48:48.840 for outpatients
01:48:50.060 when they're treated
01:48:50.940 in the first few days.
01:48:52.280 They all work.
01:48:52.980 They all combine.
01:48:54.020 They're very effective.
01:48:54.800 We know they're effective
01:48:56.420 for the Brazil variant.
01:48:58.220 The Brazilians
01:48:58.860 have been using them
01:48:59.820 and have found them effective.
01:49:01.580 So we know
01:49:02.480 how to manage this
01:49:03.380 and we've known
01:49:04.040 how to manage it
01:49:04.640 for a long time.
01:49:05.600 But, of course,
01:49:06.620 can you think of
01:49:07.360 any other drugs,
01:49:08.180 any other approved medications
01:49:09.920 that have been blocked
01:49:11.580 or prohibited
01:49:12.060 by medical societies,
01:49:13.960 you know,
01:49:14.220 medical regulatory agencies?
01:49:16.840 No.
01:49:17.640 That is,
01:49:18.000 especially like
01:49:18.960 if you're talking
01:49:19.480 hydroxychloroquine especially,
01:49:21.440 that's been out forever.
01:49:23.140 Forever.
01:49:23.540 We know exactly
01:49:24.800 what it is.
01:49:27.100 So the fact
01:49:28.080 that there's interference
01:49:29.340 in a drug
01:49:30.180 that is safer than aspirin
01:49:32.040 that has been used
01:49:34.060 for 55 years
01:49:34.900 in tens of billions
01:49:35.840 of doses,
01:49:36.500 the fact that there's
01:49:37.400 pushback
01:49:38.040 and formal government
01:49:40.120 and medical interference
01:49:41.420 in that,
01:49:42.580 there's no explanation
01:49:43.720 other than
01:49:45.480 a nefarious reason.
01:49:47.320 There's no health explanation.
01:49:51.000 So I could dismiss
01:49:52.480 a lot of the things
01:49:53.340 that were happening
01:49:53.880 at the very beginning
01:49:54.760 as, you know,
01:49:56.120 we didn't know
01:49:56.620 what we were dealing with.
01:49:58.160 Do we know
01:49:58.880 what we're dealing with now?
01:50:00.880 Pretty much.
01:50:02.560 Okay.
01:50:03.860 Does it ever become
01:50:05.300 something that we're,
01:50:07.440 you know,
01:50:07.600 because I said
01:50:08.020 at the very beginning,
01:50:09.060 you know,
01:50:09.780 that this is probably
01:50:12.020 going to be something
01:50:12.980 that we have to deal with
01:50:14.120 for the rest of our lives
01:50:15.340 like the flu,
01:50:16.660 but if it is,
01:50:17.600 even has the same rate
01:50:19.080 of death of the flu,
01:50:20.500 that's doubling that,
01:50:21.620 and it's a big number,
01:50:22.800 so it's not something
01:50:23.660 you want to do,
01:50:25.060 but it's going to be
01:50:25.780 with us forever
01:50:26.600 and it's going to be
01:50:27.760 like the flu.
01:50:29.440 Does it look like
01:50:30.460 we're headed
01:50:30.960 in that direction?
01:50:32.160 Is that what we're,
01:50:32.960 are we going to deal
01:50:33.580 with this for the rest
01:50:34.180 of our lives?
01:50:34.700 I think that there's
01:50:36.740 two things.
01:50:37.600 First of all,
01:50:39.140 this is,
01:50:39.900 when children are affected,
01:50:42.360 it's a cold.
01:50:43.720 It's almost every,
01:50:44.960 you know,
01:50:45.200 one in 10,000,
01:50:46.480 it may be more serious,
01:50:48.220 but by and large,
01:50:49.760 for almost all children,
01:50:50.800 young children,
01:50:51.800 this is nothing worse
01:50:53.340 than a cold.
01:50:54.340 If they spread it
01:50:55.200 to each other,
01:50:55.980 it's unusual.
01:50:57.760 Mostly,
01:50:58.240 they get it from adults,
01:50:59.440 and they develop
01:51:01.600 T-cell immunity
01:51:02.420 and they're protected.
01:51:04.460 You know,
01:51:04.680 we only,
01:51:05.120 we've only known about it
01:51:06.240 for 15 months
01:51:07.560 or something,
01:51:08.200 so it's hard to know
01:51:09.560 how long anything lasts,
01:51:11.700 but the evidence is
01:51:12.760 that that T-cell immunity
01:51:13.760 will be long last.
01:51:14.740 We know that T-cell immunity
01:51:16.000 from SARS-1
01:51:16.860 is now 17 years old
01:51:18.460 and people still,
01:51:19.220 who have SARS-1
01:51:20.020 are,
01:51:20.900 still have T-cell immunity
01:51:22.300 from that.
01:51:23.360 So,
01:51:24.000 it's likely that children
01:51:25.880 will get it.
01:51:26.820 It'll be a cold-like illness
01:51:28.080 and most won't even know it
01:51:30.400 and it'll go away
01:51:31.140 and that'll be the end of it
01:51:32.080 for them
01:51:32.820 as they get older in life.
01:51:34.900 It's we adults
01:51:35.800 who have to deal with it now
01:51:37.400 when it gets entered
01:51:38.220 into the population
01:51:39.220 as an endemic disease,
01:51:40.580 which it is.
01:51:41.860 So,
01:51:42.500 we have a transition period
01:51:44.100 to get through it
01:51:45.100 that children,
01:51:46.860 especially young children,
01:51:47.900 will not have.
01:51:49.480 And,
01:51:49.900 I think the long-term
01:51:51.180 characteristic of this
01:51:52.880 will be over the next
01:51:53.960 20 to 30 years
01:51:55.380 when each new generation
01:51:57.120 of children
01:51:57.960 hardly notices
01:51:59.040 that anything's happening,
01:52:00.920 whereas the adults,
01:52:02.260 you know,
01:52:02.840 have to deal with it
01:52:03.680 one way or another
01:52:04.520 and whether it's vaccination,
01:52:07.160 whether it's getting the disease,
01:52:08.440 whether it's prevention,
01:52:09.700 whether it's treatment,
01:52:10.640 all of those
01:52:11.280 are possible ways
01:52:12.180 of dealing with it
01:52:13.200 for the adults.
01:52:15.160 Is there any reason
01:52:16.640 that you can see
01:52:17.660 that Texas
01:52:18.700 and Florida
01:52:19.500 and places
01:52:20.120 that didn't lock down
01:52:21.440 are doing better
01:52:22.580 than the places
01:52:24.820 like California
01:52:25.640 and New York?
01:52:27.600 Why is that happening?
01:52:29.900 That's because
01:52:30.360 lockdown is counterproductive.
01:52:32.280 At the beginning,
01:52:33.140 the very beginning of this,
01:52:34.180 when we had no idea
01:52:34.960 what was going on,
01:52:36.020 lockdown was useful
01:52:37.060 in order to
01:52:38.460 give us
01:52:39.340 by time
01:52:40.140 to figure out
01:52:40.760 how to manage it
01:52:41.720 and how to keep
01:52:42.940 the hospitals
01:52:43.420 from overflowing
01:52:45.060 right at the beginning.
01:52:46.340 But,
01:52:46.800 after that point,
01:52:47.660 once the disease
01:52:48.300 is endemic,
01:52:49.020 there's no point
01:52:49.680 because all you're doing
01:52:50.960 is prolonging
01:52:51.680 the inevitable.
01:52:52.760 The disease is endemic.
01:52:54.180 It is in the population.
01:52:55.720 It will grow
01:52:56.700 to the degree
01:52:57.820 that there is
01:52:58.520 no herd immunity.
01:53:00.060 So,
01:53:00.560 the states
01:53:01.040 like North Dakota,
01:53:01.920 South Dakota,
01:53:02.560 Texas,
01:53:03.100 Arizona,
01:53:03.680 Tennessee,
01:53:04.920 you know,
01:53:05.700 that didn't lock down
01:53:07.320 or didn't really lock down
01:53:08.500 that have let
01:53:10.420 the infection
01:53:11.920 go
01:53:13.480 and occur
01:53:14.400 in young people
01:53:15.480 who are
01:53:16.720 mostly unaffected
01:53:18.020 or if they get it,
01:53:18.900 it's a mild disease
01:53:19.820 and they recover
01:53:21.720 pretty much perfectly well
01:53:23.060 if not in a couple weeks
01:53:24.120 then a month or two
01:53:24.920 then
01:53:25.960 what you get
01:53:27.500 is you build up
01:53:28.420 a lot of herd immunity
01:53:29.340 and so
01:53:29.780 we had herd immunity
01:53:30.920 in North Dakota
01:53:31.800 in October
01:53:33.520 and
01:53:34.680 in South Dakota
01:53:35.960 in October,
01:53:36.740 November
01:53:37.040 and so on
01:53:37.760 and so those peaks
01:53:38.980 have come down dramatically.
01:53:40.460 Same as Texas
01:53:41.260 and Florida.
01:53:42.620 The amount of herd immunity
01:53:43.780 that's built up
01:53:44.760 is quite large
01:53:46.120 and
01:53:46.800 once that happens
01:53:47.980 and you know
01:53:48.380 herd immunity
01:53:49.360 is not a function
01:53:50.160 of vaccines.
01:53:51.440 Vaccines contribute to it
01:53:52.540 but so does
01:53:53.100 natural infection
01:53:54.380 and most people
01:53:55.640 are asymptomatic
01:53:56.320 so
01:53:56.700 they built up
01:53:58.020 the herd immunity
01:53:58.580 whereas California didn't.
01:54:02.180 So is
01:54:03.260 the
01:54:03.860 idea
01:54:04.700 that
01:54:05.380 once you get
01:54:06.700 the vaccine
01:54:07.320 or once you've had it
01:54:08.760 that you still have to
01:54:10.200 be quarantined
01:54:11.640 or you can't go out
01:54:12.440 for Fourth of July
01:54:13.320 or
01:54:13.720 you have to wear masks
01:54:15.320 that's bull crap
01:54:17.260 isn't it?
01:54:17.700 Well so
01:54:18.880 this is a subtle thing
01:54:20.080 that I don't think
01:54:20.960 was well recognized
01:54:22.760 and that is
01:54:23.360 that
01:54:24.120 just like masks
01:54:25.420 there's a benefit
01:54:26.500 for the person
01:54:27.160 and there's a benefit
01:54:28.020 for the bystanders
01:54:29.100 the people around the person
01:54:30.540 and that's called
01:54:31.460 source control
01:54:32.220 and what we've heard
01:54:33.980 that the
01:54:34.680 manufacturers
01:54:35.940 randomized trials
01:54:36.980 for safety
01:54:38.120 and efficacy
01:54:38.720 only examined
01:54:40.180 benefit for the people
01:54:41.340 who were vaccinated
01:54:42.060 and that benefit
01:54:43.620 is between 60
01:54:45.120 and 90%
01:54:45.840 and generally
01:54:46.440 tending towards
01:54:47.100 the 90%
01:54:47.900 for most
01:54:48.980 in the vaccination
01:54:50.000 trials
01:54:50.580 but what they didn't
01:54:51.780 evaluate
01:54:52.280 is how much
01:54:54.020 vaccinated people
01:54:55.820 do or don't
01:54:57.860 transmit the infection
01:54:58.820 to others
01:54:59.320 and this is why
01:55:00.900 I was saying
01:55:01.240 the United Arab Emirates
01:55:02.620 their data shows
01:55:04.060 that in fact
01:55:05.620 transmission
01:55:06.580 is not
01:55:07.500 benefit
01:55:09.800 quite nearly
01:55:10.620 as well
01:55:11.140 as
01:55:11.780 vaccination
01:55:12.680 for the person
01:55:14.000 so
01:55:15.020 the vaccines
01:55:16.320 cut the individual's
01:55:17.680 risk by 90%
01:55:18.660 of getting COVID
01:55:19.540 but they only cut
01:55:20.880 the risk of transmission
01:55:21.900 by 50 to 60%
01:55:23.160 and that's why
01:55:24.520 the case numbers
01:55:25.340 go on
01:55:26.440 for a long time
01:55:27.420 even though
01:55:27.820 the mortality
01:55:28.300 goes down
01:55:28.920 and I think
01:55:30.340 that's really
01:55:31.080 we've been sold
01:55:32.160 the idea
01:55:33.060 that
01:55:33.440 if these vaccines
01:55:34.840 prevent the disease
01:55:35.840 by 90%
01:55:36.640 then why can't
01:55:37.260 we just go out
01:55:37.900 and have normal life
01:55:38.680 and the answer is
01:55:39.320 because they don't
01:55:40.200 prevent transmission
01:55:41.020 nearly as much
01:55:41.960 and so
01:55:43.540 it will still spread
01:55:44.740 now
01:55:45.480 spreading
01:55:46.760 as I said
01:55:47.560 is not necessarily
01:55:48.440 bad
01:55:48.900 if the people
01:55:49.960 who are at high risk
01:55:50.860 who will do poorly
01:55:52.020 if they get it
01:55:52.800 are adequately protected
01:55:54.280 either by vaccination
01:55:55.340 or early treatment
01:55:56.360 or prevention
01:55:57.840 with hydroxychloroquine
01:55:59.940 and ivermectin
01:56:00.480 and other
01:56:00.940 medications
01:56:01.820 if they're adequately
01:56:03.440 protected
01:56:05.480 then the society
01:56:06.920 reopens
01:56:07.560 like normal
01:56:08.340 our schools
01:56:08.800 should be open
01:56:09.440 day camps
01:56:10.000 should be open
01:56:11.180 you know
01:56:13.060 because
01:56:13.620 that is how
01:56:15.040 you get herd immunity
01:56:15.900 in safe
01:56:16.560 natural
01:56:17.020 protected ways
01:56:18.240 and you protect
01:56:20.420 high risk people
01:56:21.240 by keeping them
01:56:22.200 basically separated
01:56:24.180 to a certain degree
01:56:25.500 as well as
01:56:27.120 having vaccination
01:56:28.400 and prevention
01:56:29.900 and treatment
01:56:30.580 and i think
01:56:31.900 that's the whole way
01:56:33.180 that this
01:56:33.780 we work out of this
01:56:34.920 doctor
01:56:36.300 it is a pleasure
01:56:37.600 pleasure to talk
01:56:38.820 to you

01:57:01.440 through science
01:57:02.000 and i don't consider
01:57:03.820 that nature lies to me
01:57:04.980 nature tells the truth
01:57:05.960 i just have to be open
01:57:06.900 to listening to it
01:57:07.900 and i'm just a messenger

01:57:22.560 she was in a horrible
01:57:23.620 car accident
01:57:24.260 left her with
01:57:24.880 shooting pains
01:57:25.640 down her neck
01:57:26.160 and her back
01:57:26.600 gotta be so bad
01:57:27.800 she was you know
01:57:28.580 she was going to
01:57:29.060 a chiropractor
01:57:29.880 and an acupuncturist
01:57:31.220 six times a week
01:57:33.100 she heard about
01:57:34.900 relief factor
01:57:35.720 on the radio
01:57:36.320 and decided to give it a try
01:57:37.320 within two days
01:57:38.340 she said her pain
01:57:39.140 began to subside
01:57:40.040 within a few weeks
01:57:41.080 she was back to normal
01:57:42.320 no more trips
01:57:42.880 to the chiropractor
01:57:43.660 no more trips
01:57:44.240 to the acupuncturist
01:57:45.280 megan
01:57:46.460 considers her discovery
01:57:48.600 of relief factor
01:57:49.420 to be nothing short
01:57:50.900 of a miracle
01:57:51.580 and it shows
01:57:53.020 i've been where
01:57:54.480 megan is
01:57:55.340 i've been where
01:57:56.160 you are now
01:57:57.020 i'm past it
01:57:58.500 megan is past it
01:57:59.540 will you just try
01:58:00.420 relief factor
01:58:01.140 to see if you can
01:58:02.140 get past it
01:58:02.820 70% of the people
01:58:04.400 who try the
01:58:05.080 three-week quick start
01:58:06.080 go on to order more
01:58:07.220 you should know
01:58:08.080 within three weeks

01:58:10.340 for you know
01:58:10.820 maybe 30% of the

01:58:57.360 and it's
01:58:58.060 this
01:58:58.380 his speech
01:58:59.820 writers know

01:59:00.960 o'clock
01:59:01.260 at night
01:59:01.720 there's no
01:59:02.520 way he can
01:59:03.020 go on for
01:59:03.480 more than
01:59:03.840 20 minutes
01:59:04.440 so they've
01:59:05.120 kept it
01:59:05.820 short
01:59:06.760 i i i
01:59:08.520 there's no
01:59:09.320 way this goes
01:59:09.860 on for 90
01:59:10.400 minutes
01:59:10.740 yeah no
01:59:11.540 way
01:59:11.780 if it goes
01:59:12.200 on for 90
01:59:12.760 minutes
01:59:13.040 he's going
01:59:13.380 to be
01:59:13.500 like
01:59:13.760 yeah it's
01:59:16.700 late
01:59:16.960 that's
01:59:17.500 late
01:59:17.760 yeah it's
01:59:18.460 late
01:59:18.680 late for
01:59:19.180 him
01:59:19.380 and there's
01:59:20.260 no way
01:59:20.640 he could
01:59:20.860 get through
01:59:21.140 a 90
01:59:21.420 minute speech
01:59:21.980 a 3 30
01:59:22.740 p.m.
01:59:23.400 start time
01:59:24.000 would be
01:59:24.460 i think
01:59:25.100 ideal
01:59:25.420 he can
01:59:25.580 make it
01:59:25.820 for 40
01:59:26.280 minutes
01:59:26.540 yeah
01:59:26.800 40
01:59:27.200 minutes
01:59:27.400 yeah
01:59:27.640 no i
01:59:28.160 think you're
01:59:28.400 right
01:59:28.580 i mean
01:59:28.840 and that's
01:59:29.100 the thing
01:59:29.320 he's gonna
01:59:29.620 he's been
01:59:30.660 completely
01:59:31.040 incapable of
01:59:31.700 making it
01:59:32.020 through even
01:59:32.500 one speech
01:59:33.180 without having
01:59:33.940 multiple
01:59:34.500 real mess
01:59:35.680 ups in the
01:59:36.660 middle of
01:59:37.020 it
01:59:37.160 the question
01:59:37.940 is can
01:59:38.360 he can
01:59:39.120 he get
01:59:39.340 80 percent
01:59:39.920 of the
01:59:40.140 speech
01:59:40.380 right
01:59:40.680 i mean
01:59:41.240 you're
01:59:41.360 not really
01:59:41.680 looking for
01:59:42.060 100 percent
01:59:42.680 with joe
01:59:43.340 biden
01:59:43.580 yeah i think
01:59:44.060 a little
01:59:44.440 uh medicinal
01:59:46.220 cocaine
01:59:46.900 uh and he'd
01:59:48.120 be he'd be
01:59:49.760 jacked up and
01:59:50.380 ready to fly
01:59:50.980 is that a
01:59:51.400 recommendation
01:59:51.760 are you
01:59:52.280 accusing him
01:59:52.920 i'm just
01:59:53.340 no i'm just
