Glenn Beck is at home in Texas and the snow is coming down hard. He talks about CNN and why they should have been able to do what they do. He also talks about the latest in the Roger Ailes scandal.
00:00:00.000Well, hello and welcome. We are all at home because we have an inch of snow in Texas and
00:00:06.620that shuts everything down, believe it or not. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour

00:00:33.000that you can do at home. You can go to the, you know, vitamin store in the CVS and you get all
00:00:39.720this stuff to help prevent COVID and really boost your immune system. He's decided to put it all
00:00:46.440into one pill so you can take it. It's all made here in America. It is, it's all top quality stuff.

00:01:52.980What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:06.740Hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:12.520We have snow on the ground, so I'm doing the show from my house. Stu is doing his show, his part of the show from his house. But we could not miss today because, I mean, just to start the show, we have CNN, which I think is not as much of a, of a cable news network as, as like a, I don't know, some sort of
00:02:42.500Caligula porn movie. I mean, where Jeffrey Toobin is the only one who kept, kept his hands to himself. There's yet another body count. We go there next.
00:02:54.500I just can't believe how that place is just burning itself to the ground. Good luck, CNN.
00:03:07.100Let me tell you a little bit about relief factor. It has been very, very cold here in Texas. I think it snowed last night and hopefully it'll warm up just a little bit enough to make it all really wet.
00:03:21.580Then it'll freeze and we won't be able to leave our house at all for anything because we don't have snow plows. We don't have salt. We don't have anything. We just stay in our house until it goes away. It's bizarre.
00:03:34.520But as the weather gets cold, if you're somebody who lives with frequent aches and pains, one of the reasons we moved down to Texas and moved down south was because cold made my pain so much worse in the northeast.
00:03:48.280And now I don't have to worry about it. My hands were just, I mean, almost crippled in the cold weather. They're fine now. Why? It's relief factor. I tried everything. Relief factor at relieffactor.com. Try it for three weeks. See if it doesn't work for you.
00:04:07.36070% of the people who order it go on to order more month after month. The three week quick start. $19.99. Relief factor.com or call 1-800. The number four relief. Relief factor.com. Feel the difference.
00:04:24.640Stu. Oh, what a happy day. I mean, what a sad, sad day for CNN.
00:04:30.480You sound really authentic there. Just talking about your absolute incredible pain that you're feeling for the whole organization of CNN today. They were stunned.
00:04:41.840Yeah. Stunned. Stunned by this. Everybody knew this. Stunned by this. These are the people that got on their moral high horse about everyone who's ever said anything in the third grade that now is deemed, you know, politically incorrect.
00:04:58.740And so they, they were leading the charge for everybody to be canceled. These were the people that were so outraged that Roger Ailes would be, would be manhandling women.
00:05:12.220And it is just a sleaze show. Not like over here. You're right. Fox, even from what we learned about Fox, you know, in the last couple of years, it was never like CNN.
00:05:27.700I got to tell you, CNN, if you ever go there, do yourself a favor. Don't bring a black light because I think you'll vomit all the way back to the elevator.
00:05:46.440It's worse than a bad, cheap motel. I'm sure it is.
00:05:51.280They do have hourly rates when you walk in the door of CNN, which is a strange, strange development for news network.
00:05:57.420I'm paid by the hour means something entirely different.
00:06:00.340You simultaneously there hit on, I think the most disgusting and most important point, which was that they have been criticizing everybody else for this exact type of stuff for such a long time.
00:06:15.860And, you know, with a straight face and they never paid a price for it at all.
00:06:21.520And now it seems like a lot of this is crumbling to the ground.
00:06:24.600We have, you know, tube steak tubing that is, is still there.
00:06:31.620You know why he was, you know now why they didn't fire him because of Zucker.
00:06:38.800He, he, he was touching his junk and then rubbed it in the face of a guy at a bar, all kinds of witnesses of it.
00:06:47.820He gets on the air and he is moralizing, telling everybody, oh my gosh, you know, doing things that could be thought of as others, as sexual assault.
00:06:59.720I mean, your words and your actions, you need to be held responsible.
00:07:20.460We said it during all the Cuomo stuff.
00:07:23.740Why on earth were they protecting Chris Cuomo, this terrible host who has awful ratings, has never done anything of note other than lie his entire career.
00:07:34.760And they kept protecting him month after month after month.
00:07:38.080And it was perplexing to anyone on the outside.
00:07:51.860We want to make sure that we have a good relationship with a very powerful governor of New York.
00:07:56.520But once he was gone, what was the reason?
00:08:00.800Yeah, and to be clear, that might be a legitimate human motivation for someone if you want to keep – well, we don't want to piss off the governor.
00:08:10.500That might be a legitimate human motivation.
00:08:12.580It's a disgraceful news organization motivation.
00:10:42.660I mean, I was stunned to hear that information.
00:10:45.800Now, of course, that goes a million different directions, right?
00:10:49.160It's one of the parts of the story as to why they were so generous in their analysis of Andrew Cuomo through a very devastating period.
00:10:57.540It goes to why they were hesitant to criticize him at all.
00:11:03.240It goes to why they were so generous to Chris Cuomo through every single failing from breaking quarantine to lying about it on their news network to, you know, name this Chris Cuomo scandal.
00:11:17.020And, you know, it goes back to also that, of course, Andrew Cuomo is one of the people who knew about this.
00:11:25.140Chris Cuomo is one of the people who knew about this.
00:11:28.100And now even Brian Stelter is reporting that Chris Cuomo was threatening to go to court and burn the house down because he had this information and they were trying to protect themselves.
00:11:40.800And this is very, very consistent, Glenn, with who we know the Cuomos are.
00:12:10.800Is all of these people have said about the right that we're crazy, that, you know, Donald Trump has got his hands in everybody's pants, that he is a horrible human being, that he is taking bribes, that, you know, it's all nepotism, all this, all this stuff.
00:14:25.600And if they if they don't take everybody out, if you're if you're leaving, you know, and my sidekick, master masturbator, Jeffrey Toobin, and you don't take out Don Lemon.
00:14:40.840And those are first of all, let me ask you this.
00:14:43.740Did they fire the woman who was also in this relationship with Jeff Zucker?
00:14:50.720Or did they let her slide because she should have reported it as well?
00:15:09.460And another new ownership is coming and the ownership is probably not going to be friendly to their the way they've been doing business.
00:15:17.520At least that's the that's the understanding many people have.
00:15:20.140So there's an idea that maybe he's he's trying to protect her by falling on his sword when he probably was going to get fired anyway in a couple of months and trying to protect her gig by by leaving.
00:16:47.680It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food.
00:16:50.200Dogs love it because it tastes amazing somehow or another.
00:16:53.900I mean, it does not look good, but dogs love it and they get all the vitamins and minerals and other things that are going to contribute to a healthy life for him.
00:18:48.940Was he wearing an N95 mask, or was he wearing one of those cloth masks that do absolutely nothing?
00:18:54.700Yeah, I think that's—I think it was a cloth mask.
00:18:56.700I know one of the people in the luxury box was definitely wearing the cloth mask, and it doesn't do anything, and it's completely ridiculous.
00:19:04.940I mean, this is a situation where, you know, many of these people, they're all vaccinated, right?
00:19:13.000They've all—either that—they probably also had COVID as well over the years, and they're sitting there pretending.
00:19:18.560This is all theater to them, and it's obviously theater.
00:19:21.560Like, and what's really frustrating about it, Glenn, is if they would just admit what's going on, it would be fine.
00:19:29.220Like, I don't think any of us would have any problems with them not wearing masks at a game.
00:19:34.600We all go to games and don't wear masks because it's silly at this point.
00:19:39.140But instead, they're trying to enforce these restrictions on other adults and kids when they go to school, and then when they get in front of a celebrity like Magic Johnson.
00:20:12.160As Johns Hopkins said about our staying in and being quarantined and locked down everywhere, it had two-tenths of a percent effectiveness on COVID.
00:20:26.080Two-tenths of one percent effectiveness.
00:20:30.120Well, what kind of damage did it do to our psyche, to our economy, which affects people's lives, to the suicide rate?
00:20:40.900We have no idea what it's done to our kids because of the last two years.
00:20:44.580Can you imagine being a kid living through COVID, having those two years?
00:25:27.200So BlackRock is sending out letters to investors.
00:25:33.300They're clearly spooked by what's going on, I think, that people are starting to wake up.
00:25:37.740And the recent letter that they just mailed out a few weeks ago is really interesting because it is desperately trying to argue that stakeholder capitalism is free market economics, which is absolutely ridiculous.
00:25:52.140At one point in the letter, the head of BlackRock says that the demand from stakeholders to transition to a net zero world, he says, now, think of the impact of this.
00:26:08.960Every company and every industry will be transformed by the transition to a net zero world.
00:26:16.560The question is, will you lead or will you have to be led?
00:26:20.780Now, the top intellectuals have argued that when this next problem comes with the economy, that the Fed should not raise interest rates and helicopter money is not going to work.
00:26:40.860We have this all in a white paper from them, and it's stunning because it explains who's running the country.
00:26:49.600BlackRock's people say the Fed should now, instead of pushing money out to the little people, the Fed should directly buy stocks and get money to the right people by funneling large sums of money to the banks and to the stock markets and to private big businesses.
00:27:17.100We don't know, but it sure sounds an awful lot like it.
00:27:21.080They said central banks are going to take their foot off the gas to remove stimulus, but they shouldn't go further to fight inflation.
00:27:27.600So they're all in on the Great Reset, and they're in favor of more money printing, even though inflation is soaring.
00:27:36.580They say, let's see, they say that if they stop giving money as helicopter money, that will help inflation.
00:27:48.700So in other words, don't give money to us, but you've got to pour it in to the businesses and to the banks.
00:27:55.200Now, this is the really disturbing part.
00:27:59.880You can have an opinion and tell the Fed to do whatever, but it looks as though, well, we know part of this.
00:28:08.640We know that BlackRock has been working directly through the Fed all through the pandemic, and they have made a lot of money in the process, not just BlackRock, but the Fed.
00:28:23.260BlackRock has bought bonds and funds on behalf of the Fed.
00:28:39.560That's not part of their deal, but they are now doing it, and they're doing it through BlackRock.
00:28:47.060This is what the Wall Street Journal has just reported.
00:28:49.600In response to the pandemic-induced market collapse, the Fed promised to buy corporate bonds, that's stocks, and exchange-traded funds to invest in collections of corporate debt.
00:29:19.380The Fed and the central banks are working with BlackRock to buy the right stocks.
00:29:25.160So why would the Fed work hand-in-hand with BlackRock, and is there any level of evidence of coordination that has been going on?
00:29:37.740Well, there is good evidence that BlackRock is one of, and perhaps the key source behind the Fed's strategy to pour money into the financial system through backdoor channels,
00:29:49.720like the reverse repo market, which we believe now has put out in the so-called loans, $95 trillion.
00:30:02.380In 2019, just before the pandemic, these authors of this white paper that I told you about a minute ago,
00:30:13.280it was the governor of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, board member at the World Economic Forum,
00:30:20.200the head of the Glasgow Alliance that we've talked about before, and the governor of the Bank of Canada.
00:30:28.060These guys are the ones that have been writing this, and they argued that there should be an unprecedented response.
00:30:35.980There's not enough monetary policy space to deal with the next downturn.
00:30:40.280So the Fed should go to, quote, a direct approach by crediting private or public sector accounts directly with money.
00:30:50.960So this is what the Fed is doing, we think.
00:30:54.580We think BlackRock, we know that BlackRock is investing for the Fed.
00:30:59.620We think BlackRock is actually the ones that are running the Fed pretty much at this point.
00:31:06.060We also know their economic investors, the board members, the very high-ranking officials from BlackRock,
00:31:15.520the economic advisor, chief economic advisor for the president, chief economic advisor for the vice president,
00:31:20.980chief economic advisor for the Treasury, and I think somebody else is at the Treasury that's big with BlackRock.
00:34:21.580Because Kansas, a lawmaker who heard what was going on in New Hampshire, reached out to the guy we had on the air, the representative in New Hampshire.
00:34:31.460He started working with the Heartland Institute, which is my co-author of the book, is the Heartland Institute.
00:34:39.420They have formally now filed a bill in Kansas that is nearly identical to the bill in New Hampshire, and you need to call New Hampshire.
00:34:51.300I think it's Representative Michael Murphy, but call the state legislator in Kansas and have them pass the anti-ESG bill.
00:35:03.640Also, we covered this on the air, West Virginia is working to divest from investors like BlackRock.
00:35:11.220Oklahoma has a similar bill out there.
00:35:14.280There is now another one that will do the same thing.
00:35:17.100If you live in Indiana, you need to call and phone in your support email, but phones are much more, just much better,
00:35:26.820and tell them that they need to pass House Bill 1224.
00:35:33.540Wyoming is working on putting another bill together.
00:37:22.180Used to be the case that you'd look at your paycheck and, you know, all you could be is unhappy about the amount of taxes that were taken out.
00:43:47.600We're going to talk to her a little bit about what's happening in China, the Olympics, also some of the other things happening around the world.
00:43:54.960But first, I want to start with the things that the federal government are doing right now that are violating the Constitution.
00:44:03.520And it doesn't seem that we have very many Republicans that care and zero Democrats that care.
00:44:12.060Your rights, my rights, our children's rights.
00:44:16.820This is the only thing we should be focused on right now.
00:44:21.320I'll show you the violation, clear violation, in 60 seconds.
00:44:31.980First, let me tell you about our sponsor, This Half Hour, and it is Relief Factor.
00:44:37.340Ernie wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
00:44:39.960He said, I had arthritis in my trigger finger so bad that it practically killed me to try to bend it.
00:44:48.120But after taking Relief Factor, there's no pain at all.
00:44:51.520I can bend my finger like there was never anything wrong with it.
00:53:26.500And they've shut it down off of Facebook.
00:53:29.460Now, who do you think, do you think anybody in the government might have been consulted on that?
00:53:37.700Or do you think it's all the D.N.C. operatives that have worked for past presidents and past administrations that are now at very high levels at Facebook, so they don't have to call?
00:53:59.760It would be really interesting to know.
00:54:01.740Yeah, you know, by the way, Facebook's stock valuation is down over $100 billion.
00:54:09.740I think it was $100 billion or something.
00:54:13.060Ridiculous amount of money because they're starting to lose users.
00:54:18.920Finally, after all this time, I mean, they've been growing and growing and growing all this time.
00:54:22.640Even as people have sort of soured on Facebook and started to drift away a little bit, they have gone down, you know, in users for the first time ever.
00:54:35.140And their stock is tanking because of it.
00:54:38.960It's not a – I mean, we kind of all thought this would happen eventually.
00:54:41.980But part of this, I think, is really that people just don't believe it's a place where you can go and share information and draw, you know, grow a group of like-minded people anymore.
00:55:31.480So is Google, you know, Instagram, all of them.
00:55:35.200They are the enforcement arm, and our government is colluding with them and encouraging the social media platforms to get rid of any controversial – and when I say controversial, I mean anyone who isn't in total lockstep with this administration.
00:57:10.360You know, and Glenn, you know, the nice way to talk about Mark Zuckerberg from our perspective and all these tech companies is that they are in a difficult spot.
00:57:21.860They are getting pressure, yes, from us when we say stop censoring us.
00:57:26.180And I think they hear that at some level.
00:57:28.820But they're getting more pressure from the left than they are from us.
00:57:32.740They are getting pressure from their side to shut down all of this.
00:57:38.020Why are people even like, you know, Rand Paul, a sitting senator, why does he still have an account?
00:57:43.820Why does Glenn Beck still have an account?
00:57:45.960I mean, think about that from the left's perspective.
00:57:50.000And they, I think, are getting lots of pressure to shut this down.
00:57:54.540Now, part of this is, too, I mean, look, they're losing users for the first time in their history.
00:57:59.820So it's also a big financial part of this.
00:58:03.000But I do think the overall reason this is going on, why are they losing users?
00:58:08.100Well, that goes back to these discussions.
00:58:09.760And it's going to continue to pummel this company if they can't figure out a way to keep the people who actually like their service and want to use it happy.
00:58:20.140They seem to be antagonistic toward them all the time.
00:58:22.520I want to talk to you about Silicon Valley and something that we talked about last night on the TV show on the Wednesday night special.
00:58:33.060It was all about big tech, Wall Street and politicians that have sold out our country, sold it out.
00:58:41.320And the question on each category that I had was, why?
00:58:47.860And I want to talk to you about big tech and Zuckerberg and Google and Microsoft.
00:58:54.200They see the world much differently than you and me.
00:59:00.380And when you understand that, you'll understand why they're all pushing for the Great Reset, why they are acting as fascists.
01:01:23.640That doesn't make the people, it's just like we found out after Russia, when the Soviet Union fell, we all thought, oh, the people all want to vaporize us.
01:01:35.280The people are being held down by an evil government in China.
01:01:40.860Let's stop pretending that it's anything else.
01:01:43.340When you look at Zerberg and Google, the things that they have done to build the social credit scores and to build the monitoring systems that China uses, those were built by Americans.
01:02:04.400Peter Swiser said to me last night on TV, he was talking about how they have a God complex that they just think they know better and they can manipulate things and they see the world that they want to see and they think they can change everything and they believe they're going to change it for the better.
01:02:26.120Some are motivated by greed, but I think a lot of these guys are motivated because, you know, just like a lot of crazy scientists in the past, they think that this will make the world better and so they have no stop.
01:02:40.400They don't stop to ask ethical questions.
01:02:43.820They also, businesses, they don't like government.
01:02:48.020So why would they be in bed with government?
01:02:50.620Because the government is saying, we'll work with you.
01:03:19.220They want to get things done, and they don't want other countries and different laws everywhere, and they don't want to fight with the governments, and they certainly don't want to have to fight with the shareholders and justify everything to them.
01:03:35.960They'd rather just go to one committee and say, okay, we answer to you guys.
01:03:39.700They're as wrong as they have always been in these situations, but this time it's a digital ghetto, and that wall is being built, and many people are finding themselves behind that wall.
01:04:00.080We've got to wake our fellow citizens up and educate them and ourselves and stand up and say, not in my lifetime.
01:04:14.120So there's like an eighth of an inch of snow here in Dallas today, so the entire city is shut down, and so I'm home.
01:04:26.040I'm broadcasting from my wife's very Instagram-friendly Lisa Page Made Me Do It Studios, complete with the fluorescent neon sign behind me.
01:06:25.520Everything they say or do will be watched.
01:06:28.460And China has already said if they step out of line at all, they'll be punished by Chinese law.
01:06:33.100I can't believe we're putting them in this situation.
01:06:36.320We are extremely proud of our athletes.
01:06:38.320But, you know, at some point, what is Biden and company going to do if they speak out, if they say something and China goes in and holds them and punishes them?
01:06:50.800So, because I've read a couple of articles that you have either penned or co-penned, and you do talk about all of the abuses and everything else, but you're like, go have a good time, make good memories, but be careful.
01:07:07.560And I don't think we should be sending them at all.
