00:00:00.000 Let me tell you about American Financing, our sponsor.

00:00:04.120 It is an absolute fact that it is going to be harder and harder for you to get a loan.

00:00:11.320 Now, it won't be harder for some people to get a loan.

00:00:14.900 You know, if you're a protected class, if you're participating in ESG, that's going to be great.

00:00:22.520 You're going to have, oh my gosh, they'll bend over backwards to help you. 0.81

00:00:25.800 However, if you believe in things like the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and that all of this central planning that they're now doing is un-American, it's going to get harder and harder for you to get a loan.

00:00:41.040 Now, you can get a loan.

00:00:43.740 You can still get it in the low twos or mid threes.

00:00:48.080 Please call American Financing.

00:00:50.360 Call them right now.

00:00:52.360 Refi.

00:01:06.480 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:25.380 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:40.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:45.080 Yesterday, the President of the United States had the balls to stand in the Constitution Center that is built to glorify our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and the Founding Fathers.

00:02:06.480 He brought all of his Democratic and Marxist friends up there to talk about something that is unconstitutional.

00:02:14.380 And that is to federalize our voting standards.

00:02:20.340 It's in the Constitution.

00:02:21.680 It must remain local.

00:02:24.200 Local.

00:02:24.800 Now, he says this is the worst thing ever.

00:02:27.700 This is Jim Crow on steroids. 0.84

00:02:30.700 Really?

00:02:32.100 Oh, I have a little history lesson in 60 seconds.

00:02:36.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:41.420 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:02:42.900 Ann, she lives in Oklahoma.

00:02:44.740 She wrote a while back to talk about her experience with Relief Factor.

00:02:47.960 She said,

00:02:48.380 It has changed my life, and that's the only thing I can say.

00:02:52.260 I've been exercising for years.

00:02:53.940 My shoulder is in bad, bad shape.

00:02:55.920 It was swelling.

00:02:56.660 It hurt.

00:02:57.460 It would go numb during the night.

00:02:59.200 I heard about Relief Factor, Glenn, on your show, and I've been listening to testimonies for about a couple of years now.

00:03:05.520 I decided I'm going to order it because I needed the help.

00:03:09.120 I was sitting up for five years to sleep.

00:03:13.220 I had to sleep sitting up.

00:03:15.260 How many people sleep in a chair or sleep in uncomfortable ways because of the pain?

00:03:20.520 She said,

00:03:20.920 Now I feel that I can sleep flat on my back.

00:03:23.900 Now that's where I am.

00:03:25.480 No trouble at all because the pain is gone.

00:03:27.980 Thank you so much for telling me about Relief Factor, and you are more than welcome.

00:03:34.100 Get out of pain.

00:03:34.900 Get your life back.

00:03:35.760 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-583-84.

00:03:39.940 It's Relief Factor.

00:03:40.960 800-583-84.

00:03:44.340 And now, letters from the battlefront.

00:03:54.240 My gosh, these...

00:03:55.980 What's happening right now in America is we are seeing brave, brave people stand up.

00:04:02.540 I mean, brave people.

00:04:05.260 People like James Tallarico.

00:04:13.960 He's a Democrat from Texas.

00:04:16.560 He was one of the brave people that got onto that private jet and flew away from the great state of Texas.

00:04:25.680 He said in his letter from the battlefront.

00:04:30.060 We just landed in Memphis on our way to D.C.

00:04:33.460 Thank y'all for well wishes.

00:04:37.300 Yes, we left behind our families, our livelihoods, our beloved Texas.

00:04:42.820 But our sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifices brave Americans have made throughout history to protect the sacred right to vote.

00:04:55.340 James Tallarico, brave American.

00:05:00.380 Wow, I've got more of these letters from the battlefront coming up.

00:05:06.320 Oh, and we have a lot more on Texas Democrats on today's program.

00:05:12.860 Yeah.

00:05:12.880 Yeah.

00:05:13.300 Yeah.

00:05:13.780 I'm going to go insane.

00:05:15.300 Yeah.

00:05:15.540 Okay.

00:05:16.020 Good.

00:05:16.540 We have that and so much more on today's program.

00:05:19.100 Um, I want to just talk a little bit about Joe Biden saying this is the worst thing since the civil war.

00:05:27.060 Everything is the worst.

00:05:28.800 Have you noticed that it's never the best when we had Trump in?

00:05:31.940 It's like the best in history.

00:05:34.160 Now, everything is the worst in history.

00:05:37.560 The January 6th.

00:05:39.820 It's never been like this.

00:05:41.660 We've never had attacks on the Capitol like this.

00:05:45.820 Well, except for the bomb exploding in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., that caused an estimated $300,000 in damage.

00:05:55.220 A group calling itself the Weather Underground claimed credit for the bombing, which was done in protest of the ongoing U.S.-supported Laos invasion.

00:06:05.120 Oh, how many of us remember the Laos invasion and how important that was.

00:06:11.000 The so-called weathermen were a radical faction of the Students for Democratic Society.

00:06:15.000 The weathermen advocated violent means to transform American society.

00:06:19.840 The philosophical foundations of the weathermen were Marxist in nature.

00:06:24.640 They believed that a militant struggle was the key to striking out against the state to build a revolutionary consciousness among the young, particularly the white working class.

00:06:34.900 Their primary tool to achieving these ends were arson and bombing.

00:06:39.060 By the way, they also bombed the Long Island Courthouse, the New York Police Department headquarters, the Pentagon, and the State Department.

00:06:47.800 Don't worry.

00:06:48.840 Don't worry.

00:06:49.460 That was happening in the 80s.

00:06:51.500 But who can even remember that far back?

00:06:54.820 I mean, I know I can't.

00:06:57.120 It's the worst since the Civil War. 0.74

00:07:00.020 By the way, somebody else went into the Capitol and burned it down.

00:07:06.600 It was called the War of 1812.

00:07:09.340 So I just want to let you know that.

00:07:11.700 When did that happen?

00:07:14.060 I'm not sure.

00:07:14.860 I don't have the dates exactly.

00:07:16.420 But look it up.

00:07:17.480 It's somewhere in the War of 1812.

00:07:21.240 Let me also just give you another time that we had real violence in Washington, D.C.

00:07:30.960 And that is when Preston Brooks, you probably don't remember him.

00:07:36.260 I looked him up today.

00:07:37.780 I just wanted to make sure.

00:07:39.020 I had a hard time finding out what party he belonged to.

00:07:41.720 But he was an American politician and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

00:07:47.980 He came from South Carolina, and he was a strong advocate of slavery and state rights.

00:07:55.680 So I just assumed, I later found out, yeah, he was a Democrat.

00:08:00.660 Total surprise to me.

00:08:02.640 Total surprise.

00:08:03.860 An outlier back then.

00:08:06.260 But he was an advocate of slavery and state rights.

00:08:08.920 He's remembered for his 1856 attack on the abolitionist, the guy who was trying to stand up against slavery and Republican Senator Charles Sumner nearly beat him to death.

00:08:23.900 I don't need to go on to that story.

00:08:25.660 I've told you that story a million times.

00:08:27.840 But it is that story that led him and led us into the election of 1860 with Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War.

00:08:41.180 Now, after the Civil War, a few black people were elected to Congress.

00:08:45.740 In fact, the first black man, Hiram Rhodes Revels, he arrived in the Capitol to take his seat as the first black member of the U.S. Congress in 1870.

00:08:58.140 But the Democrats tried to block him from taking his seat.

00:09:06.420 And they said, you know, Constitution requires senators to hold the citizenship for at least nine years.

00:09:12.100 And he just became a citizen in 1866 with the Civil Rights Act and 14th Amendment.

00:09:18.100 Before that, I mean, he wasn't a citizen.

00:09:20.620 He wasn't even a human.

00:09:22.200 You know what I'm saying?

00:09:23.380 And that was the argument the Democrats made to try to stop the first black man ever elected to Congress.

00:09:36.000 Now, it didn't go well.

00:09:37.600 And there were a lot of black people that were elected.

00:09:41.080 Just want to get a little history lesson here.

00:09:43.380 A lot of black people were elected.

00:09:45.340 This is a poster that was out in the South.

00:09:51.860 It says, what happened when the Republican Party was in power in Alabama?

00:09:56.680 The above is a photograph of the Alabama legislature of 1872.

00:10:01.160 When the Republican Party was in power of Alabama, the Negroes in the above picture were members of the legislature.

00:10:08.940 I like the last one.

00:10:09.980 If you believe in white supremacy, vote the straight Democratic ticket on November 6th.

00:10:16.280 Hmm.

00:10:17.040 Yeah.

00:10:17.880 It's weird.

00:10:18.280 Now, I'm going someplace.

00:10:19.940 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:20.840 They've changed since then.

00:10:22.320 Have they?

00:10:23.400 Have they?

00:10:25.340 Have they?

00:10:27.260 So this is a poster for the Democrats.

00:10:30.300 And Joe Biden was going on and on and on and on and on and on about how this is Jim Crow on steroids.

00:10:38.740 So, you know, what the Republicans are standing for is, in many ways, more opportunity to vote than anyone ever has had legally in the United States.

00:10:55.720 Just not all the crazy crap that they said, oh, we're just doing this because of COVID.

00:11:02.880 Yeah, that's what they're standing against. 0.98

00:11:06.340 All right.

00:11:07.180 But that is Jim Crow on steroids.

00:11:09.840 Mr.

00:11:10.300 President, I think you need an education on what Jim Crow was, what the Jim Crow laws did.

00:11:16.840 You see, before Jim Crow laws were enacted in the South, blacks were being elected.

00:11:24.440 Then what happened was there was this shortage of black people in Congress.

00:11:30.420 It was so weird.

00:11:33.480 It was weird.

00:11:34.240 In fact, George White had been the only African American member of Congress since Reconstruction when he delivered this address.

00:11:44.220 And I want you to hear what he said.

00:11:45.240 This is his farewell address from Congress.

00:11:48.680 Now, Reconstruction happened. 0.79

00:11:51.020 Everybody. 0.93

00:11:52.860 Blacks are populating all of the state legislatures. 1.00

00:11:57.980 They're in Congress. 0.99

00:11:59.460 They're in the Senate.

00:12:00.760 And then after Reconstruction and the Democrats take over, they start little games.

00:12:07.680 Here's let me just say I want to enter a plea for the colored man, the colored woman, the colored boy and the colored girl of this country. 0.83

00:12:15.240 This is a direct quote from the farewell address of George White.

00:12:19.380 I would thus not digress from the question at issue and detain the House in a discussion of interest of this particular people at this time.

00:12:27.180 But for the constant and persistent efforts of certain gentlemen upon this floor to mold and rivet a rivet public sentiment against us as a people and to lose no opportunity to hold up the unfortunate few who commit crimes and depreditations and lead lives of infamy and shame.

00:12:47.700 As other races do as fair specimens of the representatives of the entire colored race. 0.97

00:12:53.480 So what is he saying here?

00:12:54.440 He's saying, how dare you?

00:12:58.000 Some members of Congress are actually holding up a few crazies and a few people who have done wrong and and done things illegally and said that's the entire race.

00:13:12.500 So that was what the Democrats were doing.

00:13:14.860 Now, they're not doing anything like that right now, are they?

00:13:17.980 They're not taking a few people who have broken the law or done things and then said that's the entire race.

00:13:27.760 They haven't done that, have they?

00:13:30.220 They're completely different.

00:13:31.880 They've completely changed.

00:13:33.300 In the catalog of members of Congress in this House, perhaps none have been more persistent in their determination to bring the black man into disrepute and with labored effort to show that he was unworthy of the right of citizenship than my colleague from what a surprise, North Carolina. 0.58

00:13:49.940 During the first session of this Congress, while the constitutional amendment was pending in North Carolina, he labored long and hard to show that the white race was at all times and all circumstances superior to the Negro by inheritance, if not otherwise, and the excuse for his party supporting that amendment, which has since been adopted.

00:14:07.640 So let me let me just let me just say this in the town where this young gentleman was born, the general election last August for the adoption of the constitutional amendment and the general election for the state and county officers.

00:14:19.940 Scotland Neck had a registered white vote of 395, most of whom, of course, were Democrats and a registered color vote of for a 534 virtually, if not all whom were Republicans, and they voted when the count was announced.

00:14:37.540 However, there were 831 Democrats to 75 Republicans.

00:14:43.040 But in the town of Halifax, the same county, the result was much more pronounced in that town.

00:14:48.540 The registered Republican vote was only 345, and the total registered vote of the township was 539.

00:14:55.920 But when the count was announced, it stood 990 Democrats to 41 Republicans.

00:15:02.580 Isn't that weird?

00:15:04.680 Have things changed?

00:15:07.340 Have the Democrats changed?

00:15:09.600 By the way, I want to it's very I want to be very clear.

00:15:15.280 What Jim Crow Act did was take anyone who was black and make it impossible for them to win in an election in the South. 0.65

00:15:26.420 And they did little things first.

00:15:28.360 This is these are receipts.

00:15:29.920 You happen to be watching the blaze.

00:15:31.360 These are receipts from a poll tax.

00:15:34.580 This is 1932, 1931, 1930 receipts for a poll tax.

00:15:40.380 So you had to you had to pay to be able to vote.

00:15:44.600 That, of course, is unconstitutional.

00:15:47.180 That was the Democratic Party that did that.

00:15:50.320 And then you have this.

00:15:52.480 This is the election ballot for the town of Geneva in Alabama in 1932.

00:15:59.220 And this was really great because blacks could vote.

00:16:01.700 We're not saying blacks can't vote.

00:16:03.160 What are you talking about?

00:16:04.600 Of course they can.

00:16:05.740 Except this ballot is the official primary election.

00:16:09.840 The Democratic white primary.

00:16:13.620 Only whites could participate in the primary.

00:16:17.280 And, you know, all those Democrats, they love them, some black people.

00:16:23.280 And so they never seem to be a black person on the ballot in the primary.

00:16:28.700 But go ahead and vote for whoever you want.

00:16:31.640 You know, in the general.

00:16:33.300 You can do that.

00:16:36.200 All of these were ruled unconstitutional.

00:16:39.220 That is Jim Crow. 0.59

00:16:41.680 That's what Jim Crow did. 0.96

00:16:43.360 That's why we had this amazing explosion of people who were slaves and then educated themselves enough to be more well-educated, more well-spoken than I or anybody.

00:16:58.560 I mean, that's easy.

00:16:59.180 But anybody else, anybody that you know, go try to read some of their speeches.

00:17:06.260 They educated themselves.

00:17:08.440 They brought themselves up.

00:17:10.940 And who stopped it?

00:17:12.080 It was the Democratic Party.

00:17:14.480 Now, the Democratic Party, they changed.

00:17:19.360 They changed.

00:17:21.600 Oh, I want to talk to you about that change.

00:17:25.460 Because there are things going on that African Americans need to wake up to. 0.74

00:17:32.760 You're being lied to over and over and over again.

00:17:36.600 And you're falling for the same trap.

00:17:38.820 And so are many Americans that are not black. 0.96

00:17:43.000 Wake up. 0.98

00:17:44.380 Wake up.

00:17:45.560 More in 60 seconds.

00:17:48.420 First, let me tell you about the Giza Dream Sheets from MyPillow.

00:17:51.340 They are delicious.

00:17:53.080 I mean, I haven't eaten them yet, but don't put them past me.

00:17:56.420 I mean, I have some pretty wild dreams.

00:17:58.980 You know what I'm saying?

00:17:59.620 I mean, about food.

00:18:01.140 And I could see.

00:18:02.520 Oh, I've got to.

00:18:03.640 Anyway, MyPillow right now has a special going on with the Dream Sheets.

00:19:14.100 10 seconds, station ID.

00:19:17.820 Oh, my goodness.

00:19:22.320 So, Lyndon B. Johnson, who was just a great guy, just a great guy, gutted the 57 Civil Rights Act,

00:19:36.900 you know, made sure that it didn't have any voting restrictions.

00:19:40.320 It made sure that nothing was happening with voting because, he said in 1957,

00:19:44.620 this is unconstitutional.

00:19:48.320 You can't tell local communities what to do.

00:19:51.900 That was the Democratic argument at the time.

00:19:54.840 See, they've played both sides.

00:19:56.860 You can't do that.

00:19:59.700 That's not what the Republicans were suggesting.

00:20:03.060 They were just suggesting that we, I don't know, keep up with the Bill of Rights and the amendments to the Constitution,

00:20:08.840 that you can't block anyone from voting who is an American citizen and registered to vote.

00:20:17.320 But then he had a change of heart.

00:20:19.480 He had a change of heart.

00:20:20.320 Now, the press, the press goes on to say that Lyndon B. Johnson only said these things

00:20:27.760 because he was trying to get his Southern brethren on.

00:20:32.540 But he had a change of heart. 0.64

00:20:34.160 Remember, he's one of the most racist guys and absolutely against.

00:20:39.060 I mean, he told his driver at one point, he said, you know, sir, I'd prefer if you call me by my name,

00:20:46.280 not the N-word or boy.

00:20:48.460 And he said, I'm paraphrasing here, you're an N-word and you'll always be an N-word. 1.00

00:20:54.200 So just do your damn job. 0.99

00:20:56.140 The paraphrasing part of that is you saying N-word instead of the actual N-word. 0.99

00:20:59.520 So right before the Civil Rights Act, when he was negotiating for the Civil Rights Act,

00:21:04.460 he said, you know, and I'm quoting Lyndon Johnson,

00:21:08.640 these Negroes are getting pretty uppity these days. 1.00

00:21:11.400 And that's a problem for us since they've got something now that they never had before. 0.98

00:21:15.980 The political pull to go back up to their uppityness.

00:21:19.340 Now we got to do something about this.

00:21:21.360 We got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, but not enough to make a difference.

00:21:25.440 For if we don't move at all, then their allies will light up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them.

00:21:30.260 We'll lose the filibuster and then there's no way of putting the brake on all sorts of wild legislation.

00:21:35.220 It'll be reconstruction all over again.

00:21:39.700 That's when it was the most free for blacks. 0.98

00:21:43.540 This is his, this is how he was convincing people.

00:21:48.180 Hmm.

00:21:48.600 Okay.

00:21:49.700 Now what happened with the Civil Rights Act?

00:21:52.180 What happened with the Great Society?

00:21:56.000 The black population were put into chains. 1.00

00:22:00.560 The Great Society has harmed the black community and the black family more than anything else. 0.98

00:22:08.800 Now, let's see.

00:22:11.680 What are the Democrats doing now?

00:22:13.220 Because they've had a change of heart.

00:22:15.700 Oh, you know what?

00:22:16.540 They're the ones that, just like during the time of the Klan, are arguing that black people shouldn't be able to own guns in inner cities to be able to protect themselves.

00:22:26.680 Oh, they're also saying, you know, defund the police.

00:22:30.640 Who is that harming?

00:22:32.220 Who is that harming most? 0.92

00:22:34.360 Not harming my community, but it sure is harming the black communities. 1.00

00:22:40.500 BLM, the riots. 0.99

00:22:41.800 Did that help or hurt the black man? 0.94

00:22:44.540 America, wake up. 0.85

00:22:45.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:49.800 American Financing NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

00:22:56.020 Norman's a regular listener of the program.

00:22:58.020 He wrote in a short while ago to talk about the experience he had when he refinanced his mortgage with American Financing.

00:23:03.080 He said, I was really nervous to start the process.

00:23:05.940 It was my first refi, and I thought it was going to be a miserable experience to get everything I needed together and to get it submitted.

00:23:13.040 But Tony at American Financing assured me that everything would go smoothly, and he and his team actually made it a pleasant experience.

00:23:21.180 They required a lot less than I expected, and it took a lot less time than expected.

00:23:24.760 I just want to thank Tony, Kelsey, Katie, and Kenya.

00:23:28.460 Thank you, and thanks, Glenn, for the referral.

00:23:31.180 Norman, I am more than happy to have introduced you to American Financing.

00:23:34.760 I am glad that you have your finances under control.

00:23:38.040 I hope you're saving lots and lots of money.

00:23:40.580 It's American Financing.

00:23:42.220 They work for you.

00:23:43.360 When you call them, you're calling a family-owned and operated financial institution that's in it for you, not for the banks.

00:23:49.640 So if anybody can help you save hundreds, if not $1,000 a month, it's American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

00:24:02.800 There are rumors of up to three chalkboards tonight on Glenn TV.

00:24:06.660 You don't want to miss it.

00:24:07.520 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

00:24:09.040 Could be four.

00:24:09.280 Really?

00:24:09.720 Yeah.

00:24:10.020 The promo code is Glenn.

00:24:11.500 I tell you all the time that you need to do your own homework.

00:24:21.260 Don't believe me or anything else other than an original source.

00:24:26.660 You need context.

00:24:28.540 You need clarity.

00:24:30.380 And you need all of the information.

00:24:32.740 Tonight on Blaze TV, there is rumors of more than one chalkboard.

00:24:38.040 I hear all the time.

00:24:39.160 I love your chalkboard.

00:24:39.980 When's the chalkboard coming back?

00:24:41.160 Well, tonight it's coming back.

00:24:43.040 And it's coming back in a big way because there's a little story that we need to tell.

00:24:49.280 Who were the people and the groups involved with coronavirus research?

00:24:54.560 What really went down before and after the pandemic began?

00:24:59.940 This story is, in its first part, negligence, and then a tale of cover-up.

00:25:05.960 First, the negligence, the elites of the world, the people calling themselves the experts, the scientists that trusted the Chinese Communist Party with one of the most dangerous weapons we can imagine. 0.95

00:25:18.780 A virus.

00:25:19.780 A virus.

00:25:20.060 They trusted them.

00:25:21.900 We won't be assigning guilt.

00:25:24.360 We just want you to know what's going on, who was involved, and when.

00:25:27.760 Because if proof of a lab leak does come out, I think everyone, everyone that was involved should be a name that you know.

00:25:35.840 Whether they're Chinese, American, Republican, or Democrat. 0.59

00:25:40.200 Anyone that was involved.

00:25:42.020 Second, the cover-up.

00:25:42.940 Currently, an attempt to control the narrative, to direct the story.

00:25:46.800 Everyone from big tech, the media, the Chinese, even our own government have been involved.

00:25:51.660 What lies behind the cover-up?

00:25:53.600 Because that could reveal the dirty secret, in order to cut corners, the academic elites and government entrusted Chinese and the Communist Party with a civilian and civilization-killing virus. 0.94

00:26:08.760 Tonight, 9 p.m.

00:26:11.840 Do not miss it.

00:26:13.740 Oh, the cover-up, I think, still continues.

00:26:17.260 I'm sure I'm not allowed to even ask or draw these conclusions, no matter what I say before.

00:26:25.860 I'm sure it won't be on YouTube or anyplace else.

00:26:30.620 You can find it on a place where we believe in free speech.

00:26:50.520 We will overcome.

00:26:52.980 We will overcome.

00:26:55.860 We will overcome someday.

00:27:00.180 Oh, they are so good at that.

00:27:02.700 Sleep in the world.

00:27:06.540 Oh, these are the Democrats from the great state of Texas who were singing in front of the U.S. Capitol for some strange reason.

00:27:16.340 And we are a state in crisis right now.

00:27:18.460 Oh, crisis.

00:27:19.520 A state without Democrats.

00:27:22.620 Oh, no!

00:27:23.920 Okay, listen.

00:27:25.140 For all the other 49 states, here's all you have to do.

00:27:30.080 We can get rid of your Democrats.

00:27:31.960 It's not that hard.

00:27:33.340 They'll take a private plane out of your state.

00:27:35.980 It's great.

00:27:36.560 It is.

00:27:37.080 It really is.

00:27:37.660 I think people outside of the state, though, might need a little review of history as to what led to this moment.

00:27:43.320 This terrible crisis.

00:27:45.060 Jim Crow laws. 0.89

00:27:46.260 Jim Crow 2.0?

00:27:47.200 Yeah, Jim Crow 2.0.

00:27:48.040 Well, it starts before that.

00:27:49.260 First, Republicans got elected through a Democratic process as part of a constitutional republic.

00:27:55.040 Yeah.

00:27:55.280 So, those Democrats didn't get elected.

00:27:58.640 The Republicans got elected.

00:28:00.140 The Democrats didn't like it so much.

00:28:02.780 Mm-hmm.

00:28:03.180 Then, Republicans took office and they decided to pass a bill on election reform to secure elections.

00:28:11.820 Mm-hmm.

00:28:12.280 Democrats didn't like that either.

00:28:14.200 Mm-hmm.

00:28:14.460 Now, it's important to note that the bill that they're upset about doesn't do any of the things that they say it does.

00:28:23.360 That can't be true, Stu.

00:28:24.860 It is true.

00:28:26.720 To review here just a little bit, 2018, we had elections here in Texas.

00:28:32.040 Mm-hmm.

00:28:32.240 A couple of years later, there was more elections.

00:28:34.000 Those elections, however, occurred during a pandemic.

00:28:37.160 Mm-hmm.

00:28:37.720 And election rules all over the country, you may have remembered, changed a little bit because we weren't sure what phase of the pandemic we would be in.

00:28:47.020 May not even be able to go out and vote.

00:28:49.380 Exactly.

00:28:49.560 May not be able to.

00:28:50.520 Right.

00:28:50.900 That was the reason we did all of these things.

00:28:53.540 Remember, go back to, picture the worst days in the worst places of the pandemic, right?

00:28:58.680 Mm-hmm.

00:28:58.780 Go back to April 2020, New York City.

00:29:03.680 Okay.

00:29:03.880 So, if that's the situation in your state, people aren't going to be going out to vote.

00:29:09.400 Correct.

00:29:09.780 And you might have an election with 12% turnout.

00:29:12.340 All right, but get to the Jim Crow part. 0.53

00:29:13.760 So, let's make sure that these laws are open for people of the pandemic. 1.00

00:29:19.680 It's a one-time thing.

00:29:21.340 One time.

00:29:21.840 We just need it this one time.

00:29:23.540 Right.

00:29:23.700 We're not going to have a pandemic in 2022.

00:29:25.620 We just need it in 2020.

00:29:27.020 Sure.

00:29:27.200 Open up the laws.

00:29:28.100 Right.

00:29:28.260 And then we'll go back to normal.

00:29:29.420 Got it.

00:29:29.980 The second the election ended, the media and the left decided to act as if the plan the entire time was to keep all of the pandemic voting rules the same.

00:29:43.360 What a surprise.

00:29:44.380 It's a stunning, shocking thing.

00:29:48.040 At no point did anyone actually say this before the election.

00:29:52.260 No one said it wasn't a one-time thing before the election.

00:29:55.600 Only after the election did they say all of these rules must stay or it's Jim Crow 2.0. 0.91

00:30:02.700 Now, obviously, this is a ridiculous standard.

00:30:05.620 For example, in Georgia, one of the controversial laws, they slimmed the early voting period from 45 days to 21 days.

00:30:16.020 Now, the excuse here, of course, by these evil politicians was to say that the cost and the burden on local communities was incredibly high to keep.

00:30:28.100 If you're in a small town and you have to keep early voting open for 45 days, you might not have enough people coming.

00:30:35.540 Who's coming 45 days early?

00:30:37.160 It's a big cost.

00:30:39.020 Now, obviously, if Republicans supported a bill like that, trimmed it from 45 to 21 days, there would be outrage all across America.

00:30:47.380 The problem here is that this bill actually passed in 2011 and was supported by Stacey freaking Abrams.

00:30:56.260 Stacey Abrams! 0.65

00:30:59.620 Stacey freaking Abrams! 0.91

00:31:01.360 Hold on just a second. 0.96

00:31:02.280 We have some breaking news.

00:31:07.560 Another letter from the battlefront.

00:31:12.820 James Talrico.

00:31:15.220 He's written another letter from the battlefront.

00:31:17.800 He says we Texas Democrats are prepared to stay out of Texas for the rest of the session.

00:31:26.820 This decision wasn't easy.

00:31:29.480 Many of my colleagues left kids, elderly parents, sick loved ones.

00:31:36.420 Many are risking their day jobs and their seats in the house.

00:31:43.200 But we just will not sit by and watch our democracy wither on the vine.

00:31:52.600 James Talrico.

00:31:55.700 Proud Texan.

00:31:58.400 And a man of courage.

00:32:00.500 Proud Texan.

00:32:02.900 So brave.

00:32:03.940 Oh my gosh.

00:32:04.680 So brave.

00:32:05.440 So brave.

00:32:06.460 Come back and vote on the bill, by the way, and then get out again.

00:32:09.280 Just in case any of these Democrats are looking for a plan.

00:32:11.920 So, the truth is, of course, Glenn.

00:32:14.480 Yeah.

00:32:15.360 In reality, these bills all across the country have expanded voter access from 2018.

00:32:22.140 No, that can't be.

00:32:23.220 It is.

00:32:23.760 I get all of my news from Coca-Cola, and that cannot be.

00:32:27.520 Unfortunately, high fructose corn syrup, not necessarily good for you, and these voting

00:32:33.160 laws, not necessarily bad for you.

00:32:35.000 So, if you look at 2018 to 2022, you're going to see a massive expansion all over the country

00:32:43.100 in voting access, making it easier for you to vote.

00:32:46.120 And the truth also is that some of these pandemic measures were really bad ideas.

00:32:53.360 For example, 24-7 voting.

00:32:57.020 For example, unattended voter boxes.

00:33:01.620 For example, letting party operatives from either party collect votes en masse and deliver

00:33:11.300 them themselves to the jurisdiction and the precinct so they can be counted.

00:33:18.320 I don't know.

00:33:19.040 Maybe putting a hardcore activist in possession of dozens of votes at a time, not a good idea. 1.00

00:33:27.240 Wait a minute.

00:33:27.820 I just heard the president said in Texas, for example, Republican-led state legislature wants

00:33:32.900 to allow partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters and imperil impartial vote workers.

00:33:39.540 Wow, that's got it.

00:33:41.040 That's specific language.

00:33:42.320 They want voters to drive further and to be able to be in a position where they wonder

00:33:47.220 who's watching them or intimidating them and to wait longer to vote.

00:33:52.160 They're going to have to drive a hell of a lot.

00:33:54.880 Excuse me.

00:33:56.260 They're going to have to drive a long way just to get to vote.

00:33:59.360 Oh, I'm glad you caught his language there.

00:34:01.160 Yeah, me too.

00:34:01.560 I was on the line there.

00:34:03.060 So, after the Democrats lie about these bills and they realize they're going to lose, they

00:34:08.740 just left.

00:34:09.620 First, they just left the building during the vote and then they flayed the state because

00:34:15.460 of that.

00:34:15.760 Now, Abbott has threatened their arrest if they return.

00:34:19.140 And, you know, that sounds extreme.

00:34:20.660 It sounds like partisanship.

00:34:22.140 But here's the thing, Glenn.

00:34:23.780 These people are getting paid.

00:34:25.200 They're getting paid with my money, with your money, with Sarah's money, with everybody

00:34:32.600 here in the studio's money.

00:34:34.300 They're getting paid to do nothing.

00:34:37.100 If I dropped my dry cleaning off and they returned it in a crumpled mess with a ketchup

00:34:43.260 stain still on it and charged me anyway, that would be a crime.

00:34:48.460 And here we are with people getting paid to do nothing.

00:34:52.740 That, to me, is a crime.

00:34:56.740 And, by the way, of course, that remedy is already in the process here.

00:35:02.220 If you don't show up to do your job, you can be arrested in the state of Texas.

00:35:06.020 It's not only that we're paying them.

00:35:07.960 We are paying everyone in the state legislature.

00:35:11.760 And they can't do anything without a quorum.

00:35:14.720 This is theft, is what it is.

00:35:17.340 So, here we are looking at all of this in Texas.

00:35:20.380 And it's just an isolated incident, Glenn.

00:35:22.740 They just happen to be upset about this.

00:35:25.000 They're just standing up for their rights.

00:35:26.560 They're just doing what they can.

00:35:27.700 By the way, this is a total coincidence.

00:35:31.660 And do not, in any way, act as if this could have been coordinated in advance.

00:35:37.440 But on the day where this wonderful flight went up to D.C.

00:35:42.260 And they decided to meet with lawmakers because this just happened to be when they had to do it.

00:35:46.300 On that same time, an organized, coordinated push for H.R. 1 was going on.

00:35:53.120 Where the president of the United States is out there talking about this specific issue.

00:35:58.520 What are the odds?

00:35:59.880 Well, he did say this.

00:36:01.180 And I'd like to hear your excuse for this one.

00:36:04.220 He said, quote, this year alone, 17 states have enacted, not just proposed, but enacted 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote.

00:36:14.560 Not to mention, and catch this, nearly 400 additional bills Republican members of the state legislature are trying to pass.

00:36:22.280 And by the way, the same measure found that 28 bills also were passed to loosen restrictions on voting.

00:36:29.780 So, make it easier for people to vote.

00:36:32.240 He didn't mention the same study that said the same amount of laws were passed the other way.

00:36:37.260 But, of course, we're also talking about a change from 2020.

00:36:40.620 Where we, again, were told there was a one-time exception.

00:36:44.760 Which is why we needed all these crazy new laws like mailing ballots to everyone, whether they request them or not.

00:36:50.920 All of those things went on.

00:36:52.780 I can't.

00:36:54.000 Excuse me.

00:36:55.300 Can I just talk about another?

00:36:56.840 Let me just mention here, yes, there is another letter that has just twittered in from the battlefront.

00:37:07.520 And I don't care what Stu says, but this one comes with a picture.

00:37:13.680 Oh.

00:37:14.920 It's a picture of a Coke Zero.

00:37:17.180 Yeah, no sugar.

00:37:18.360 No sugar.

00:37:20.020 A Coke Zero.

00:37:21.160 And a Caesar salad that looks actually kind of yummy, and I'm not a salad guy.

00:37:28.940 But it's a good topic for a burger.

00:37:30.600 It's a letter from Gene Wu.

00:37:33.240 Oh, wow.

00:37:34.540 Gene for Texas.

00:37:35.980 Mmm.

00:37:37.100 My first meal as a fugitive.

00:37:40.760 Oh, my gosh.

00:37:41.540 Yes, yes, yes.

00:37:43.800 On the private plane, he had to eat a Caesar salad and a Coke Zero with no sugar.

00:37:54.480 So brave.

00:37:56.420 So brave.

00:37:58.900 So very brave.

00:38:00.380 Legislature.

00:38:04.760 The Democrats from the great state of Texas.

00:38:15.320 All right.

00:38:15.960 Let me tell you about Raycon.

00:38:17.120 Nothing more frustrating than a pair of wireless earbuds that don't live up to the most basic standards.

00:38:22.940 You I can't tell you what you've just missed.

00:38:24.900 If you're listening to the podcast and you're wearing earbuds, then you heard it.

00:38:30.120 You heard the stereo.

00:38:31.260 You heard.

00:38:31.680 I mean, you felt the drama of that music pounding in your ears.

00:38:38.940 Don't expect anything less than the kind of perfection you get with wireless earbuds from Raycon.

00:38:45.080 Don't the Apple AirPods.

00:38:47.060 Oh, they're fantastic.

00:38:48.200 I just love them.

00:38:49.340 It looks like you're wearing a for some reason, a pair of small mini golf clubs in your ear.

00:38:57.240 I don't know why, but hey, keep rocking.

00:39:00.820 You do you, boo.

00:39:01.840 When you get a pair of Raycons, you're getting crisp, powerful sound at half the price of an Apple brand.

00:39:08.960 Raycons look great.

00:39:10.080 They feel even better.

00:39:11.380 They come in a range of cool colors with customizable gel tops included for a comfortable fit.

00:39:17.020 But something else you're not going to get when you overpay with Apple Raycons offering 15 percent off all of their products.

00:39:42.600 It is happening on Blaze TV tonight at nine o'clock.

00:39:46.540 The Glenn Beck special.

00:39:47.920 And it is all about COVID.

00:39:50.100 What we knew then, what we know now.

00:39:53.560 And let's just put it all out on a chalkboard and see if anything makes sense.

00:40:01.140 You don't want to miss tonight's episode.

00:40:03.660 This has been about a month and a half of research has gone into this episode tonight.

00:40:08.900 And, uh, yeah, not a lot of people are going to talk about it.

00:40:14.740 Uh, mainly because, uh, man, if you even tweet about it or if you, God forbid, you text,

00:40:22.700 well, then the government will know that you're spreading misinformation or the truth tonight at nine.

00:40:29.660 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:40:31.940 Whether it's for work or play this summer, take your Raycons with you. 1.00

00:40:35.660 I'm at the ranch right now, and I'm going to be plugged in as I get onto my tractor, more of a bulldozer now,

00:40:42.300 and move some earth and then hit the hills.

00:40:45.580 I'll be wearing a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds in my ears so I can listen to podcasts

00:40:51.880 or I can listen to great music while I make hay, if you will.

00:40:56.460 You'll get crisp, powerful beats at half the price of other premium audio brands.

00:41:01.180 Raycons. 0.73

00:41:31.720 All right.

00:41:32.340 Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.

00:41:34.020 There's a protein bar that's how my wife sold it to me.

00:41:37.780 Glenn, there's a protein bar.

00:41:38.980 It's really good.

00:41:39.520 I'm like, why would I want a protein bar?

00:41:41.360 Why?

00:41:41.800 The terrible salesman.

00:41:43.280 Know your audience.

00:41:44.300 Yes, thank you.

00:41:45.220 You'd think she'd know after living.

00:41:47.240 I found these candy bars.

00:41:48.520 They're amazing.

00:41:49.100 They're amazing.

00:41:50.020 Right?

00:41:50.140 If she would have sold it to me like that, I would have eaten them immediately.

00:41:54.200 Did you hear what's new from the Mars Corporation?

00:41:56.200 You'd have been like all in.

00:41:57.320 Right.

00:41:57.620 Right.

00:41:57.860 Right.

00:41:58.500 You know the people that make chocolate chip mint ice cream?

00:42:02.160 They're making a chocolate made with real chocolate, a chocolate mint brownie bar.

00:42:09.380 Mmm.

00:42:10.160 I am there.

00:42:11.260 You would have tried it on day one.

00:42:12.420 Right.

00:42:12.800 And if she would have taken the wrapper off that says, you know, healthy protein, blah, 0.95

00:42:16.600 blah, blah.

00:42:17.740 I would have bought it.

00:42:18.620 I would have bought it the whole time.

00:42:19.560 It would have been like, this is my favorite candy bar.

00:42:21.200 They should do that.

00:42:22.080 They should make up alternate wrappers that don't say the healthy stuff.

00:42:24.840 Right?

00:42:25.420 Right.

00:42:25.660 Like, it should just say like 812 calories.

00:42:28.240 Because it is so good.

00:42:29.780 It's like 120 calories.

00:42:31.520 Right.

00:42:31.740 But if you don't know that.

00:42:32.780 Four net carbs, grams of carbs.

00:42:35.120 They're really good.

00:42:36.020 It's Bilt Bar.

00:42:46.120 They're yummy.

00:42:46.820 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:14.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:24.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:27.520 And tonight at 9pm, we go back and review some of the things that we knew then and know now about the coronavirus.

00:43:37.480 One of the guys who I found very refreshing at the earliest stage of this when we knew absolutely nothing about it was a very, very reasonable scientist who said, look, I, you know, we don't know.

00:43:54.420 I think we should take these precautions, yada, yada.

00:43:57.920 And he said at the time, it looks like this is not man-made.

00:44:04.380 Well, now he's kind of hedged that and said, you know, I think there's more to look at.

00:44:12.100 An honest one.

00:44:13.720 We're going to talk to him about COVID in 60 seconds.

00:44:18.400 I know how you're feeling if you're in pain.

00:44:29.100 I know everybody can see it as you move throughout your day.

00:44:32.340 I thought I was hiding it yesterday.

00:44:34.360 My back was just killing me yesterday.

00:44:37.500 And I have these days where it comes and goes.

00:44:40.800 And I was standing talking to David Barton and we were teaching a class and I'm standing there and David said, your back hurts.

00:44:49.760 And I said, what are you talking about?

00:44:51.380 He's like, the way you're standing, everything changes when you are in real, real pain.

00:44:57.780 I will tell you that I was in pain every single day to the point where I couldn't do it anymore.

00:45:05.720 And I said to David, he said, is it getting better or worse?

00:45:09.420 And I said, I could live like this for the rest of my life.

00:45:12.360 It's nothing like it used to be.

00:45:14.580 Nothing because of relief factors.

00:45:16.640 And most days, I don't have any pain.

00:45:19.140 Relief factor.

00:45:20.320 It's not a drug developed by doctors.

00:45:21.860 And 70% of the people who try go on to order more.

00:45:24.860 That's what I like about them.

00:45:26.300 They'll say, if you're going to see any results, you'll see it in three weeks.

00:45:29.320 It's not like, just keep taking it.

00:45:30.840 Just keep taking it.

00:45:31.660 If you don't see results in three weeks, stop taking it.

00:45:33.700 If you do see results, continue to take it.

00:45:38.060 Relief factor.com.

00:45:39.620 800-500-8384.

00:45:42.040 Relief factor.com.

00:45:50.160 It seems like a thousand years ago, but when the pandemic first began, we talked about what to do.

00:46:02.120 And I did an interview with Dr. Ian Lipkin.

00:46:05.820 He is the director for the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University.

00:46:12.340 And we spoke about what he was doing.

00:46:15.700 He was quarantining himself, not because he was told to, just because he felt it was the right thing to do.

00:46:22.780 And it was at that time.

00:46:24.100 And we welcome Dr. Ian Lipkin to the program again.

00:46:28.080 Hi, doctor.

00:46:28.580 How are you?

00:46:29.460 Good to be with you, Glenn.

00:46:30.480 Yeah, thank you.

00:46:31.680 So did you ever get the virus?

00:46:35.060 I did in March of 2010.

00:46:38.700 So I actually went into quarantine three times.

00:46:41.380 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:46:42.000 March of 2010.

00:46:44.500 Yes.

00:46:45.340 Excuse me, of 2020.

00:46:46.860 Okay.

00:46:47.760 All right.

00:46:48.300 I was like, whoa.

00:46:49.460 It was here a lot longer.

00:46:51.360 As you said, it seems like forever.

00:46:53.420 Yeah, it does.

00:46:54.100 I guess it feels that way.

00:46:55.280 Yeah, yeah.

00:46:55.840 So when I came back from China in February, I was fine, but I was put into quarantine nonetheless, which I think was appropriate. 1.00

00:47:04.580 Right.

00:47:04.940 I then became ill in March in New York.

00:47:07.620 This time it was the strain of the virus that had come via Europe.

00:47:10.760 So that put me out of commission for a while.

00:47:14.100 And then we had an infection in our lab.

00:47:18.100 It probably didn't occur in the lab, but somebody in the lab became infected.

00:47:21.240 So we had to shut down yet again.

00:47:23.220 So I've had three episodes of, you know, forced isolation.

00:47:28.820 When we spoke last time, and I just read the transcript again before the program today, and I was impressed with the way you handled things.

00:47:39.620 And both of us, we were like, look, I want to be a good American.

00:47:42.460 I want to be a good human being.

00:47:45.400 And both of us spoke in ways where we were both saying, we don't know anything yet.

00:47:52.920 We have no idea what we're dealing with.

00:47:55.260 Could be really bad.

00:47:56.460 Could be not as bad.

00:47:58.420 But we should take these actions.

00:48:00.980 You told me in that interview that the origins of COVID-19 you thought were natural.

00:48:09.560 But it was kind of, you weren't married to that.

00:48:12.960 You were just saying, I think they're natural.

00:48:15.400 You, I recently saw an article with Donald McNeil where the two of you were discussing a recent revelation that Dr. Xi in Wuhan was doing coronavirus experiments under biosafety level two conditions.

00:48:31.480 Did this change the conversation at all in your viewpoint?

00:48:36.560 It hasn't changed my insight into where this thing originated.

00:48:41.020 We still think it began in wildlife.

00:48:44.180 And there's no evidence that there are any specific experiments that were conducted by her or anyone else that led to a more transmissible virus.

00:48:53.940 What I was telling Donald at the time was that I thought that it was inappropriate to study potentially lethal infectious agents, except under high levels of biocontamination.

00:49:06.300 That's what we do in New York.

00:49:07.840 That's what we do in the U.S.

00:49:09.240 And I think it's something that should be done worldwide.

00:49:12.440 We need to have international specifications for this kind of research.

00:49:17.760 I mean, don't you think it was really irresponsible of us to to ban it here and then give it give it over to the Chinese knowing we we know now we knew how bad that lab was for biosafety. 1.00

00:49:35.020 I mean, I have no problem if you want to do it.

00:49:37.520 I don't think I'm for it.

00:49:40.160 But if you if you want to do it, let's do it in our labs in the deepest, darkest place we have.

00:49:47.960 Well, people are going to do research globally.

00:49:50.940 It's not something that's going to be unique to the United States.

00:49:55.000 But I do think it makes sense for us to implement internationally standards by which people do this kind of research.

00:50:04.860 Now, the kind of research that we're talking about is gain of function research, which is research that is designed to identify how viruses or bacteria, for that matter, cause infections, how they cause disease.

00:50:19.140 And this kind of research is what gets us to the solutions so that when something naturally emerges or unnaturally emerges, we have a way in which we can address it.

00:50:30.200 So it's very important research.

00:50:32.120 But as you've said, it has to be conducted safely and rigorously and with appropriate safeguards.

00:50:38.700 So this is the argument that is being debated right now, whether it was natural or it was created.

00:50:43.980 Let me ask you this.

00:50:48.300 Couldn't both of those things be true?

00:50:51.020 A recent study published by the Chinese researchers detailed their work exposing mice with humanized lungs to coronavirus.

00:50:59.160 Couldn't covid-19 have evolved naturally within the mice and then jump to humans?

00:51:04.780 So let me just walk back to what we now know about the origins of the virus, because I think that's helpful in elucidating the problem.

00:51:15.280 There is more and more evidence coming out now to suggest that the virus was outside of China as early as October or November of 2019.

00:51:25.640 So this, although we became really aware of what was going on in December in Wuhan, it may well have started earlier there or someplace else.

00:51:36.640 I'm not suggesting that I that I buy the idea that this thing came from the United States and went to China or any any other such, you know, sort of the stories that you may hear.

00:51:47.800 But I think that we know so little still about the origins of this virus when it first emerged in humans, whether or not there was an intermediate animal, that this is all speculation that's simply not going to get us anywhere.

00:52:02.200 So why would it be why would we find it elsewhere?

00:52:05.040 And then Wuhan was just this wildfire.

00:52:08.240 Well, because it probably if I had to speculate as to its origins, it was somewhere in the vicinity of Wuhan or Guangzhou, where you had a lot of wildlife.

00:52:21.960 One of the things that we've learned is that there were wildlife markets that were operational in the vicinity of Wuhan with tens of thousands of animals prior to the onset of, you know, of the epidemic in in Wuhan.

00:52:37.200 That subsequently became a pandemic.

00:52:39.480 Now, whether these were animals that came from someplace else in South Asia, we don't know.

00:52:46.080 We also don't know whether or not there might have been some intermediate animal.

00:52:51.360 We also don't know whether or not somebody inadvertently was exposed during the course of work in a laboratory.

00:52:58.280 Now, what I can say is that even if we had wanted to create this virus and I think we have people who know as much about these kinds of viruses in the U.S.

00:53:07.200 and in Europe as elsewhere, we would not have known what to do.

00:53:11.280 That's the best argument I can make for the fact that I don't think anybody deliberately created this agent.

00:53:17.520 But that's no excuse, you know, for sloppiness in terms of the way these agents are handled.

00:53:23.700 So let me ask you this, because I asked you to be on today because you were one of the first guys that I talked to, and I thought you had a lot of credibility.

00:53:34.980 You were very you were open to all possibilities.

00:53:38.740 And it is it's hard to find what is really going on now, even though I am I'm not claiming that we do know, but I don't know even know who to trust this research that was going on in Wuhan lab.

00:53:55.360 The scientific community, the government, everybody, including a colleague of yours, Peter Daszak, have been involved in this.

00:54:06.320 And many of these guys are the staunch critics of the lab leak hypothesis.

00:54:11.140 What I'm asking you is, I think this is what Eisenhower warned against when there is so much money involved and now politics involved.

00:54:22.700 How do we trust what what we're finding?

00:54:26.620 How do we trust the people who are telling us these things?

00:54:30.440 This is a huge challenge.

00:54:32.480 I agree.

00:54:33.400 It's sort of remember when Brumsfeld said we have known knowns and known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

00:54:40.100 Right.

00:54:40.460 We have all three of these here.

00:54:42.760 We don't really understand where this virus came from.

00:54:46.080 We don't know how long it was circulating before we came aware of its presence.

00:54:50.780 We do know a few things.

00:54:53.160 We know that it's risky to work with these kinds of agents without appropriate biocontainment.

00:54:58.840 We know that wildlife markets are an extraordinary source of risk.

00:55:03.400 And they need to be shut down.

00:55:05.400 And we know that we need to have transparency in the way investigations are done.

00:55:10.340 And they should be done by people who do not have any real or apparent conflicts of interest.

00:55:17.740 Now, for example, I would not be the appropriate person to be engaged to go to China and try to figure out whether or not there was something that was going that was awry.

00:55:26.500 But there are people who have no conflict of interest, and I think they should be engaged to go in and try to figure out what we can know.

00:55:35.780 Now, the way we will do this is to look for samples that precede the Wuhan outbreak that show evidence that there was an infection there.

00:55:44.680 And that would include looking at whatever we can find in laboratories, in animals, antibodies in people that indicate exposure.

00:55:55.060 We also need to investigate some reports now that there was virus in Milan there in 2019.

00:56:05.020 So there are a whole history.

00:56:06.920 And there's also some antibody data from American blood banks that suggests that there were people who were infected with the virus in 2019 as well.

00:56:16.080 So all of this leads me to tell you that we're not a hell of a lot closer than we were when you and I first spoke.

00:56:24.500 The one thing I can tell you, which is extraordinary, is that as a result of what was done in the first Bush administration that was followed up with Obama, where we started pushing for vaccines and the other things, we have the best tools in the world.

00:56:40.740 And we should be extraordinarily proud of what's been achieved, because vaccination is the way out here. 0.86

00:56:48.040 The question is whether or not we can vaccinate the rest of the world, too.

00:56:52.480 I know it sounds like a huge investment for the U.S., but I have to tell you that until the whole world is safe, this thing is going to ping pong back and forth between the developing world and the developed world.

00:57:05.080 It's not going to go away.

00:57:06.720 Right. How do we I mean, I'm still having a hard time with the trust on this and not on the vaccine.

00:57:12.600 I mean, I don't have a problem with the vaccine. Take the vaccine.

00:57:16.080 I wouldn't give it to my children. I mean, it's not even approved for children yet.

00:57:21.300 But, you know, how do we go back to trust?

00:57:25.020 How do we trust anything?

00:57:26.760 I mean, they we now know that scientists were involved in shutting down the lab leak theory because of their hatred for Donald Trump.

00:57:36.360 And the press went along with it. There's there's just so much politics in all of this.

00:57:41.620 There's a lot of politics in it. I will. I have to say that knowing many of these people, as I do, I don't think that it had anything to do with Donald Trump.

00:57:50.960 I think they honestly believe that they're sincere in their belief that there was no evidence for a lab leak.

00:57:58.420 The problem here is that if you're thinking in terms of criminal law, you say you have to prove something beyond a shadow of a doubt.

00:58:06.080 That's not what we're dealing with here, because if you make a mistake, everyone's on the hook.

00:58:11.720 Right. So what we have to do is to proactively do the following.

00:58:16.380 We have to shut down the wild animal markets markets wherever they are.

00:58:20.540 We have to ensure that there's an international standard for reviewing how labs run this kind of research to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.

00:58:29.680 And we also have to invest in our own infrastructure and the infrastructure around the world so that if something like this occurs, we have the situational awareness to respond rapidly and make sure that we never look again.

00:58:43.500 Look at six million people dying, twenty two trillion dollars in our treasury lost and so forth.

00:58:49.200 I mean, this is this is the worst nightmare of my dreams, far worse than the move we made, Contagion.

00:58:55.800 But I have to say that leadership has failed us globally.

00:59:00.000 So we need to we need to do something different going forward.

00:59:04.820 And we need it. Scientists really do want your trust.

00:59:08.680 I have to tell you that, you know, there's disagreement among scientists as to whether or not, you know, this is appropriate or that's appropriate or which theory is most applicable.

00:59:19.200 And that's the nature of scientific discourse.

00:59:21.780 Exactly right. We argue until we get get to the truth.

00:59:25.560 Right. And that is what is being shuttered in so many different ways.

00:59:31.280 And that's what makes people cautious.

00:59:33.720 We need to have open debates and listen to all sides on on everything.

00:59:40.420 But when when it comes to science, no scientist should ever feel that that they can't say something because of politics or or money, especially.

00:59:52.980 Dr. Ian Lipkin, thank you so much.

00:59:54.860 I appreciate it. God bless.

00:59:56.640 My pleasure.

00:59:57.280 You bet.

00:59:59.400 It's almost a rite of passage to join a benefits group when you climb up into your 50s, isn't it?

01:00:05.920 Yeah. Have you done it yet?

01:00:07.160 If so, who would you choose?

01:00:10.620 I think you ought to consider for a second option.

01:00:12.900 Take a take a look at the Association of Mature American Citizens or a Mac. 0.89

01:00:18.260 If you haven't joined one, let me tell you why a Mac is the way to go.

01:00:22.300 Not only are you looking at a wealth of amazing benefits, things like insurance and travel discounts, but you're also going to find things that if you've joined a group that pushes back against the crazy left,

01:00:34.460 you're going to find this everywhere through a Mac, their constant efforts to legislate this country out of existence in Washington is something that a Mac stands against in real ways.

01:00:46.780 And they're also a source of uncensored information that you can trust, complete with newsletters, videos, podcasts, fresh website content and a bi-monthly magazine.

01:00:56.600 Over a quarter of a million a Mac members have directly participated in a Mac's outreach campaign.

01:01:02.820 Congress is hearing the voice of a Mac member at the height of the NRA.

01:01:07.700 I think they had about 5 million members.

01:01:09.920 I think they probably still do, but they had 5 million members.

01:01:13.280 They were such a powerhouse because people were united behind one cause.

01:01:18.140 Unite behind a Mac advocacy, benefits and information.

01:01:23.620 America needs a Mac.

01:01:25.640 So do you go to a Mac, a M a C dot U S slash back, a M a C dot U S slash back.

01:01:32.620 10 seconds, station ID.

01:01:37.700 As a doctor Lipkin said, you know, I wouldn't be the best guy to investigate this.

01:01:51.660 That is because he does a lot of work with the Chinese government.

01:01:55.160 At least he is open and honest about that, but it makes you question.

01:02:00.940 And that is the biggest problem.

01:02:03.120 If you have transparency everywhere, then it's not a problem.

01:02:07.700 But we didn't have transparency with Dr. Fauci.

01:02:11.060 We didn't have transparency in a lot of places.

01:02:14.240 And as far as China goes, I mean, they've, they still to this day have not turned over the files from this lab.

01:02:19.680 They still to this day.

01:02:21.320 I mean, they, they've were caught recently eliminating a very similar genetic sequence from records across the world.

01:02:31.140 Uh huh.

01:02:31.840 Uh, ahead of when we knew the outbreak actually occurred.

01:02:36.100 Uh, and that was caused, you know, by like, uh, you know, like a group of people trying to understand the origin who've been working online.

01:02:44.040 And I, and I go back and forth on this in that, like he's, what he's saying is true.

01:02:48.860 And that there is not, I think maybe in talk radio circles and stuff, we kind of say, okay, it's the Chinese lab leak.

01:02:56.760 And that was what happened.

01:02:57.740 And I think it's definitely a, a, a real possibility.

01:03:00.600 The scientists don't have, they don't feel like they have that confirmed yet.

01:03:04.060 I mean, I look at it as more like a, I don't want to say journalist cause we're not journalists, but we go through this every day.

01:03:09.360 We analyze news.

01:03:10.240 We look at this.

01:03:11.100 We, if, if anything, we've looked at this and looked at communist, communist governments and how they treat information and have a real background and looking at that.

01:03:19.340 So looking at it from that perspective, it, to me, screams lab leak theory or worse, uh, the scientists, of course, I just don't have the expertise in breaking down a genome to be able to really track this.

01:03:32.540 And the scientists are, are more split on it than I think at times conservative media acknowledges or in the opposite of what liberal media says, where they say there's no, they've been saying for, for a long time, lab leaks, not even a possibility.

01:03:46.220 They were split on that the entire time as well.

01:03:48.380 There are, there are good cases to be made on, uh, both sides, but tonight I want to show you what we thought and we think is happening and happened.

01:04:01.200 Uh, if it is proven that it is a lab leak, uh, then we're in a whole different ball game, uh, because there was a coverup that, that happened.

01:04:11.140 Uh, and I'm going to lay it all out on a chalkboard tonight at 9 PM Eastern on blaze TV.

01:04:18.380 Dot com slash Glenn.

01:04:22.340 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:04:26.080 So I love a great movie and what ruins even a great movie is squirming.

01:04:32.600 Uh, and that's because there's some piece of graphic content out there, violence, extreme language, whatever, uh, that, uh, you know, fire up.

01:04:42.420 Usually when your kids walk up, walk in always that moment, it's always, if there's an F word in a movie is there's a magnet, right?

01:04:50.580 That is drawn to when your child walks in the room.

01:04:52.780 I swear to you, there is a service called vid angel and vid angel gives you control over the content in your home.

01:05:01.700 I, I am not for sensors.

01:05:04.360 I am for you being able to sensor.

01:05:06.920 If you want it in your home, great.

01:05:08.960 And you said it.

01:05:10.120 And that's what vid angel does.

01:05:11.340 You set the screening process.

01:05:13.560 So it, it, it will come and skip only the parts that you say, Hey, I don't want that word.

01:05:19.100 I don't want this kind of scene.

01:05:20.520 I don't, I'll take violence up to this level.

01:05:22.920 And so it's all personalized to you and your family, 2,500 movies, 11,000 TV episodes, and new ones added every single week.

01:05:45.620 The promo code is Glenn to save 10 bucks.

01:05:47.640 Well, Cuba has gotten bad quickly.

01:05:54.980 About a hundred people have just disappeared, uh, from Cuba that were some staunch supporters and out in the, uh, out in the streets protesting the government of Cuba.

01:06:07.240 They've just disappeared.

01:06:08.420 I mean, what could have happened to them, Stu?

01:06:10.020 I mean, they're just gone all of a sudden.

01:06:11.860 Well, it's hiking season actually in Cuba right now.

01:06:15.340 Yeah.

01:06:15.620 So a lot of times there's a lot of long walks that people go on.

01:06:19.040 They go into the, the, the mountains.

01:06:22.000 Right.

01:06:22.300 And is this avalanche season?

01:06:24.000 It is avalanche.

01:06:24.840 That's right.

01:06:25.800 When they go hiking, a lot of times avalanches will crush, uh, protesters, many people who happen to be protesting and no, no, no.

01:06:36.280 Okay.

01:06:36.680 Party officials.

01:06:37.400 See, that's why you listen to the news.

01:06:39.420 Cause you can get the full story.

01:06:40.660 Like the hiking season epidemic, uh, the loss of, of, of protesters, of dissidents in Cuban, in Cuba.

01:06:49.420 That's weird.

01:06:49.800 It's just, I don't know why these, uh, opponents of the regime are such big fans of hiking.

01:06:56.620 They all, it's almost exclusively hiking.

01:07:00.620 Well, the rest of them are taking tours of the prisons.

01:07:03.020 Right.

01:07:03.440 Uh, and they're just, you know, they just love prison tours.

01:07:06.480 You mean the free housing they're getting?

01:07:07.920 The free housing.

01:07:08.720 Yeah.

01:07:08.840 Exactly right.

01:07:09.460 Exactly right.

01:07:10.240 Uh, so things are getting really bad for the Cuban people.

01:07:13.320 They are on the streets, um, now chanting, where's Biden?

01:07:16.760 Where's Biden?

01:07:18.300 Hmm.

01:07:19.000 I think Biden thinks that, uh, several times a day himself.

01:07:22.340 Uh, but I'm, I'm not really sure.

01:07:24.540 Um, what's happening there is the people have had enough.

01:07:28.840 And this is one of those moments where the Democrats are going to screw it up again.

01:07:34.180 Uh, where people have a chance to have freedom if they would just get the support of America.

01:07:44.200 Uh, the regime is weak.

01:07:47.100 Cuba could be free and, uh, we're going to blow it again.

01:07:51.480 Where is Biden on this?

01:07:53.760 Where is the administration?

01:07:55.080 Where is the support of these people?

01:07:57.580 You know, 470 people have got onto a raft or something and they've tried to come to the

01:08:02.740 United States from Cuba and we have turned them away. 1.00

01:08:07.000 And the administration has said, we want to make sure that you understand we're sending

01:08:12.780 you back.

01:08:13.580 You're not coming into the United States. 0.99

01:08:15.340 I guess Cubans are the wrong Brown people. 1.00

01:08:18.260 Is that, is that right?

01:08:19.320 They always vote the wrong way.

01:08:20.980 That's the problem.

01:08:21.860 Oh, that's the problem.

01:08:22.880 Yeah.

01:08:23.260 Send them, send back them, send back them, send back them, build back better and send 1.00

01:08:28.020 back them.

01:08:29.080 I like it.

01:08:30.900 That's the plan.

01:08:31.480 By the way, I tweeted something to the Cuban people taking a brave stand against socialism.

01:08:36.740 We support you. 0.97

01:08:38.440 Um, I got a Twitter response from the socialist party of America to the ignorant who keeps 0.96

01:08:46.760 saying Cuba has socialism. 0.85

01:08:48.660 There are three important facts.

01:08:50.380 I think they're talking about Michael Moore, right?

01:08:53.200 He certainly said that they had all sorts of wonderful, glorious socialists. 1.00

01:08:57.360 I agree with them that he is ignorant. 0.94

01:08:59.600 Socialism means a society with no ruling class. 0.99

01:09:04.240 Hmm.

01:09:04.520 It's always meant that throughout history.

01:09:06.260 Oh, wait, it's never been tried correctly.

01:09:08.000 That's why.

01:09:08.980 That's why.

01:09:09.280 That's why you have a, you know, nine figure death tolls.

01:09:11.840 Right.

01:09:12.040 Every socialism is a society where the people own the means of production, not the elite.

01:09:17.640 See, what you're talking about, I hate to point this out to the socialist parties, but what

01:09:21.500 you're talking about is communism.

01:09:25.640 Communism is that everything else has been socialism.

01:09:29.860 I mean, I hate to, you know, go to Marx on stuff like this, but socialism is the step in between.

01:09:38.460 It's where the heavy hand needs to be, uh, needs to come down on people to change that society, to get everybody to go, we're all in this together.

01:09:49.820 And I don't care about status or who owns what we're all just going to share.

01:09:55.820 And we're going to live like Jesus.

01:09:58.040 That is communism.

01:10:02.220 Communism has never happened.

01:10:05.100 It never gets past the brutality stage because it's the complete opposite of everything that humans, uh, experience and feel and want.

01:10:18.120 But by these standards, capitalism has never been tried either.

01:10:21.140 I mean, like there, it's a, of course, purely every single thing, the way that Marx set it up, uh, you know, it's never going to be perfect, but these are largely socialist, largely communist countries.

01:10:34.860 Right.

01:10:35.400 Correct.

01:10:35.660 And like, you know, it's, it's, it's certainly I can complain and say that this would be better if we were more capitalist.

01:10:41.720 However, you know, this is generally a capitalist country and that's why you've seen the benefits Cuba, generally communist country or socialist country.

01:10:48.860 And largely we've seen where that leads to death and despair and tragedy for decades and decades and decades on end.

01:10:59.260 And it could end now if Americans would stand up and stand with the Cuban people.

01:11:05.440 We stand with you.

01:11:07.380 We stand with you.

01:11:09.480 Um, we're going to talk a little bit about that coming up, uh, next hour.

01:11:12.640 By the way, uh, Vice, uh, has, uh, has done their research on, and they caught us at CPAC.

01:11:20.740 Man, they caught you.

01:11:21.660 Yeah, they caught us.

01:11:22.420 Where did they catch you?

01:11:23.120 On stage?

01:11:23.920 Yeah, they caught me on stage.

01:11:25.840 Oh, no.

01:11:26.060 Uh, conservative radio host Glenn Beck showed off a KKK hood on stage before going to compare the Ku Klux Klan to Antifa.

01:11:33.380 I mean, most people would do what they could to avoid that headline.

01:11:36.940 Yeah.

01:11:37.500 Not you.

01:11:38.040 So most people would try to maybe, I can't tell you how many times we've been to these

01:11:43.020 museums and, and Glenn has got his giant display of some terrible thing from history.

01:11:49.400 Like I remember one time in particular, there were these giant Nazi flags that you got from

01:11:54.140 somewhere and you were talking about the horrors of the Nazi party and some local media person

01:11:58.660 comes in.

01:11:59.020 They're like, uh, Glenn, can we talk to you?

01:12:00.240 Yes.

01:12:00.420 And you're like, yeah, sure.

01:12:01.160 And you start the interview and I'm like, I'm looking at all I see is the background of

01:12:04.260 you standing in front of these giant Nazi flags on television.

01:12:08.900 And theoretically, it's something you try to avoid.

01:12:12.100 I would try to avoid.

01:12:13.300 There's a PR sort of lesson.

01:12:14.400 Well, here on the CPAC speech in particular, I had an hour to speak.

01:12:18.660 Yes.

01:12:19.160 Uh, and, uh, and so I knew I could put it into context.

01:12:22.420 And I said at the very beginning, they're going to take things out of context, but you

01:12:27.520 know, it's time to show the truth.

01:12:30.020 And I showed where the Klan came from, you know, the Klan was a democratic party enforcement 0.94

01:12:38.040 arm, period.

01:12:40.040 It wasn't something else.

01:12:41.160 It was like, oh, you know what?

01:12:42.760 Uh, let's see if we can talk those Klan members into being Democrats. 0.93

01:12:46.640 No, no, no. 0.97

01:12:47.600 It was started by the Democrats to be an enforcement arm to make sure that no uppity blacks, uh, 1.00

01:12:56.180 or any uppity whites were going to be fighting for, for voting rights for black people because 0.96

01:13:04.140 they got to be kept in place. 0.96

01:13:05.380 That is a democratic arm.

01:13:08.560 And I just want to do a show.

01:13:10.280 And so I did bring, I did bring, I think that's one of the most horrifying things.

01:13:15.420 I'm just horrifying.

01:13:17.220 This is from around the time of reconstruction.

01:13:20.360 This is the pieces of a Klan mask. 0.60

01:13:25.540 Uh, and it is truly terrifying, truly terrifying.

01:13:30.980 Um, but I don't have it because I'm for the Klan. 0.81

01:13:35.340 I have it because I'm against the Klan and vice.

01:13:39.580 Oh my gosh, you guys are such good journalists.

01:13:43.060 You, you just saw pictures.

01:13:44.940 I like, I like, I like to get all of my, uh, all of my facts from books with pictures in

01:13:51.420 them.

01:13:52.080 I can't take the time to read any of the words or listen to the context.

01:13:56.500 I just picture, picture, picture.

01:13:58.360 So all the best journalism is on Instagram.

01:14:00.780 That's exactly, exactly right.

01:14:02.480 And Pinterest.

01:14:02.940 They also said backstage after his speech, Beck was showing off other pieces from his extensive

01:14:07.920 collection, including Nazi armbands worn by victims of Hitler's Germany.

01:14:12.840 Uh, Hmm.

01:14:15.920 I don't know where you got that because I didn't do that.

01:14:20.520 I mean, I have that collection of Nazi armbands.

01:14:24.660 I mean, you want to come over, I'll show you.

01:14:26.440 I mean, you got to see the electric chair.

01:14:28.660 It is unbelievable.

01:14:30.700 It's either number one or number two from the New York penitentiary.

01:14:33.960 See, I collect the dark side of history.

01:14:37.920 David Barton collects all of the good things of American history.

01:14:41.740 I want to be able to show both sides so you can decide.

01:14:46.460 So nobody's walking around going, America is the greatest place ever.

01:14:50.500 And we've never done anything wrong.

01:14:53.700 No, it is the greatest place that man has devised so far.

01:14:58.560 Uh, but we've done a lot of wrong and we learn from that.

01:15:02.420 So we don't do it again.

01:15:03.620 So when we, when we see symbols and we're like, Oh yeah, I know what that is.

01:15:11.720 The native Americans had it turned around the other way. 0.93

01:15:15.860 So did the Hindus. 0.99

01:15:16.880 They had it turned over the other way and it was a square, but Hitler, you're going to love 1.00

01:15:23.280 this fact, Hitler took that sign of peace and flipped it the other way and then had it

01:15:30.660 on an angle.

01:15:32.040 Why did he have it on an angle?

01:15:33.740 Because he believed in socialist progress.

01:15:39.540 He was a progressive.

01:15:41.920 Hmm.

01:15:43.440 Did you know that?

01:15:45.800 Probably not.

01:15:47.160 Does that picture?

01:15:48.300 I just want to show a picture, picture, picture, picture, picture, picture.

01:15:50.860 So their, their evidence was that you, you showed a KKK hood, but you said, of course,

01:15:56.960 obviously it was in a negative light, but they tried to say it was in a positive light or how

01:16:00.880 did they, how did they frame it?

01:16:02.280 So, uh, Glenn Beck, uh, held up a KKK hood from his personal collection.

01:16:08.660 Uh, I mean, it's technically accurate, but I think frames it a little bit incorrectly.

01:16:12.400 Yeah.

01:16:12.680 You kind of leave out the part where I talked about our museum, uh, that has artifacts of,

01:16:17.680 um, you know, more founding documents, more documents on the American founding prior to 1812

01:16:23.760 outside of the library of Congress and the national archives.

01:16:28.440 Other than that.

01:16:29.320 Pretty good.

01:16:29.680 Other than that.

01:16:30.340 And I will say too, it technically, it's probably out of the museum collections and not even

01:16:34.440 your personal collection.

01:16:35.360 Some of these things are mine.

01:16:36.760 Some of them are not, uh, you lend them all to the museum all the time anyway.

01:16:40.800 Yeah.

01:16:41.200 Yeah.

01:16:41.560 You buy, buy stuff and then, you know, put it over the museum or, or whatever.

01:16:46.240 So, but it's funny that the, the, instead of saying like he talked about the horrors of

01:16:52.320 the Democrat led Ku Klux Klan.

01:16:55.100 In the middle of his CPAC speech, defending the United States record on slavery.

01:17:01.220 Oh, that's what you did.

01:17:02.620 Wow.

01:17:02.800 That's a shocking development.

01:17:04.180 I've heard you talk about slavery thousands of times.

01:17:06.000 I've never heard you once defend it.

01:17:07.560 Yeah.

01:17:07.860 That's weird.

01:17:08.420 You pick that one time to start defending slavery.

01:17:10.400 Well, I thought it was the time to come out.

01:17:11.920 I thought it was the time to come out and do that.

01:17:13.560 Yeah.

01:17:14.040 Yeah.

01:17:14.340 So, or not, or it's the opposite.

01:17:18.540 Here's the thing.

01:17:19.780 Um, they can't defend themselves at all.

01:17:23.180 So they have to, uh, take and twist lies, um, and take these lies and push them everywhere

01:17:31.160 they can twist everything that they can into a negative and into a dark place.

01:17:37.100 You want the truth.

01:17:38.340 You want the beginning or, uh, the beginning of an understanding of where you should start

01:17:42.980 seeking the truth.

01:17:44.840 Watch my CPAC speech.

01:17:46.660 See if you know half of it.

01:17:48.260 See if you know half of what I talked about.

01:17:51.700 If you don't, maybe you should go back and look at original sources on American history.

01:18:00.920 I want pictures.

01:18:03.180 I want pictures.

01:18:03.920 Um, you know, if you don't have some sort of, um, system like LifeLock, in fact, I think

01:18:11.260 it's LifeLock is the best, but if, if you don't have something like LifeLock right now,

01:18:15.580 you're basically walking down a dimly lit alley at night, you know, with your wallet

01:18:20.540 going, Hey everybody, I got free money in my wallet and I got credit cards and everything

01:18:26.640 come and get it.

01:18:28.060 And you're smarter than that.

01:18:29.380 I know you are.

01:18:30.120 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect our lives.

01:18:34.080 And it might be cybercrime, but it is real crime.

01:18:37.460 And every day we put our whole life at risk on the internet.

01:18:43.160 LifeLock will detect a wide range of identity threats.

01:18:46.600 They can't, you know, protect you from everything.

01:18:48.760 Nobody can.

01:18:49.540 It's constantly expanding.

01:18:52.240 But if they detect your information has been compromised, they're going to send you an

01:18:55.920 alert.

01:19:17.060 You were listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:19.640 Oh, let me tell you, the art world has just embraced me.

01:19:26.680 So, I mean.

01:19:28.940 You were the 100th most important person in the world of art.

01:19:32.160 I think once you are, you always are.

01:19:34.620 I know that art magazine did that as a joke.

01:19:39.480 I disagree it was a joke.

01:19:40.920 I always took it seriously.

01:19:42.500 Well, I did too.

01:19:43.480 And I'm a doctor.

01:19:45.420 I'm a colonel.

01:19:46.840 I'm a Kentucky colonel.

01:19:49.200 I'm a reverend from the Church of Universal Life.

01:19:53.640 I'm also a priest in my church.

01:19:56.580 So, I am a reverend doctor, a priest, colonel Beck.

01:20:01.740 That's what I am.

01:20:02.800 You have an almost unlimited amount of titles.

01:20:05.000 Right.

01:20:05.240 And so, I know.

01:20:06.560 I know these things.

01:20:08.260 But they've just embraced me so much.

01:20:11.980 So much.

01:20:13.080 And gosh, I just appreciate that.

01:20:15.300 I do.

01:20:17.060 I have one gallery out there who's like.

01:20:21.260 They're totally, total defenders.

01:20:23.580 They're just great, great people.

01:20:25.160 They don't all agree with me politically.

01:20:26.620 Great, great people.

01:20:28.020 And I just know.

01:20:28.860 I just know other galleries are like, oh, we cannot speak to them anymore.

01:20:33.660 We cannot speak to them.

01:20:37.300 But anyway, the deal is with my artwork, unlike Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden, you don't get to meet my dad.

01:20:47.280 No, no, that would be.

01:20:49.100 It'd be creepy at this point.

01:20:50.460 He's been dead for a few years.

01:20:51.680 So, it'd be really creepy.

01:20:52.660 But I want you to know that if you buy one of my pieces of art, you don't meet my dad.

01:20:58.740 Look, the fact that we now have evidence that Hunter Biden was doing deals in Central America and then shuttling up multiple billionaires to meet in the vice presidential residence.

01:21:11.820 That's not something that's worth reporting on by the media at all.

01:21:17.140 No.

01:21:17.500 And the fact that now he's taking in $75,000 to $500,000 for paintings, even though I believe it was the former Obama ethics advisor who said he's never even done as much as a community art show before.

01:21:29.780 But that's totally okay and not suspicious at all.

01:21:33.320 Well, he makes them with a straw.

01:21:34.520 I think it's a Coke straw, but he makes them with a straw.

01:21:36.400 So, he has the straws that are lying around.

01:21:38.840 And some of them, and I think he's going to glue some macaroni on some of them.

01:21:43.380 So, I mean, they're worth $500,000.

01:21:44.880 But we have Peter Schweitzer on the art of the deal, the Biden edition.

01:21:56.040 Let me see a quick preview on Peter Schweitzer and see how much we can get out of him on this.

01:22:01.000 Oh, I know.

01:22:01.600 He's on Stude's America the other night.

01:22:03.240 And I ask him a question, and he just sort of blurts out that he has the Hunter Biden laptop.

01:22:11.780 He has it.

01:22:13.600 Like, he has all of it.

01:22:16.400 We're going in to talk to him about the Biden thing.

01:22:19.360 That's our cover.

01:22:20.760 That's our cover.

01:22:22.020 Tell me about Biden.

01:22:22.960 So, what about that laptop?

01:22:26.420 You don't want to miss this interview with Peter Schweitzer.

01:22:30.380 Coming up next.

01:22:33.240 So, we have an investigator, or that's what he says he is, Peter Schweitzer.

01:22:44.460 He's going to be on talking about Hunter Biden and his little art scam he has got going on.

01:22:52.740 We'll see if this Mr. Peter will actually answer any of our questions.

01:23:00.100 Stand by.

01:23:02.020 State radio continues in one minute.

01:23:05.380 Oh, I can't wait.

01:23:09.500 The Glenn Beck program.

01:23:10.780 I can't wait until people are forced to listen to this program.

01:23:14.340 You know what I'm saying, Stu?

01:23:16.140 Just.

01:23:16.660 That would really make our ratings go up.

01:23:18.060 Forced.

01:23:18.700 If we could only just require it.

01:23:21.580 It's made possible by people like you, because we park our big broadcast truck over your dead body.

01:23:28.600 The world of buying and selling homes never been simple, but today, today, it's even more complicated.

01:23:38.700 One thing you can learn about mankind.

01:23:41.180 He likes to make every transaction as complicated as possible.

01:23:44.540 Thank God we have women kind. 1.00

01:23:46.300 You know what I'm saying?

01:23:47.800 They don't do anything that's complex.

01:23:50.820 They are so easy to understand.

01:23:52.620 Anyway, it's complicated enough.

01:23:55.600 Sarah, why are you giving me that dirty look right now? 0.98

01:23:58.400 I don't even.

01:23:59.120 She's one of them.

01:24:00.840 She's a woman? 1.00

01:24:02.100 She's one of them.

01:24:02.980 Well, I don't know how she identifies today, but.

01:24:05.160 You could have fooled me.

01:24:07.180 She keeps flashing me, too.

01:24:09.120 And I'm like, stop it.

01:24:11.600 Stop it.

01:24:12.800 Stop.

01:24:14.020 What, Stu?

01:24:15.000 What's wrong?

01:24:16.000 I beg of you.

01:24:17.160 I beg of you to get to Peter Schweitzer.

01:24:18.580 Well, I just want to talk about realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:24:23.460 If you're looking for a great real estate agent, you'll find one there.

01:24:45.960 Tonight, on Glenn TV.

01:24:48.320 The worst of the COVID pandemic may be over, but the virus's after effects will be with us for years.

01:24:54.020 And now we can finally connect the dots, showing what really happened.

01:24:58.620 Did America's elites trust communist China with a civilization-killing virus and then lie to cover up their mistakes? 0.87

01:25:04.980 Glenn's back at the chalkboard with what happened and who was involved.

01:25:08.560 Deadly negligence.

01:25:10.340 Exposing the real origins and cover up of the COVID-19 pandemic.

01:25:14.000 Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern at blazetv.com.

01:25:18.460 So here we have this Mr. Peter Schweitzer.

01:25:23.020 Host of Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer.

01:25:25.960 What is this drill down thing you do?

01:25:29.320 I've never even heard your podcast yet, Peter.

01:25:31.340 I just found this out.

01:25:32.540 How long have you been doing that without telling your friends?

01:25:34.420 We just started it.

01:25:37.020 I'm sorry.

01:25:37.680 I'm going to have trouble doing this interview.

01:25:39.300 I'm laughing too hard.

01:25:41.000 What you were doing on the radio is something else.

01:25:46.680 It's great to be with you, as always, Glenn.

01:25:48.380 Thank you.

01:25:51.280 I have two ways to go here, Peter.

01:25:53.580 We're friends.

01:25:54.480 You know me.

01:25:55.040 You consider me an honest man?

01:25:57.040 Yes, absolutely.

01:25:58.160 All right.

01:25:58.620 Well, I've been lying to you, Peter.

01:25:59.780 I said I wanted to get you on to talk about Hunter Biden's art, but it is all a ruse to

01:26:05.440 get you to talk about the laptop that you have of his.

01:26:09.880 But we'll go the honest way.

01:26:13.680 Now that I've told you that's what my ruse is, let's start talking about his art.

01:26:18.960 Is there any mention of his art on his laptop?

01:26:23.420 No.

01:26:24.080 No, there's not.

01:26:25.220 I would say there are certain images that Hunter Biden might consider to be art, but

01:26:32.980 we have stayed away from all photographs and images.

01:26:37.960 There's no mention of art.

01:26:39.180 There's no mention of art appreciation either on the laptop.

01:26:44.360 So I'll just say that.

01:26:45.240 We'll come back to that nonsense in as much as you care to tell us, because I know you're

01:26:49.980 you're writing a book and it's an expose on this, but let's do talk about the art.

01:26:56.520 Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that this is a, hey, you can meet my dad for 500 grand?

01:27:07.140 No, there's no doubt.

01:27:08.460 Anybody that seriously looks at this, I mean, look, you got to give them credit, Glenn.

01:27:13.060 There's a certain maniacal, evil genius quality to this art scam.

01:27:18.620 You know, when we talked about the deals with the energy company and the deals in China,

01:27:24.760 everybody was saying, like, look, he has no background in China, he has no background in

01:27:28.820 energy, because those are things you look for in the business world.

01:27:32.100 Well, the art world, it's all subjective.

01:27:35.140 It's all completely subjective.

01:27:37.260 So for them to now migrate to the art world as a means by which people can pay half a million

01:27:44.060 dollars for a piece of Hunter Biden art, that that's anything but a sophisticated scheme 0.84

01:27:50.480 for, you know, foreign influence buying is ridiculous.

01:27:54.700 I mean, I'll note just a couple of days ago, there was an article in Maine that a Picasso

01:27:58.680 sold for $150,000.

01:28:01.520 Correct.

01:28:02.280 There, there.

01:28:03.700 Picasso.

01:28:04.100 Yeah, they want you to, yeah, they want you to pay more than three times that for a piece

01:28:09.440 of artwork by the son of the president of the United States who has no formal training

01:28:14.020 in art and has no.

01:28:15.000 So, okay, so, so hang on just a second, because I can't, I can't diss somebody for not having

01:28:20.320 any formal training of, I have no formal training.

01:28:22.600 Well, actually I kind of do now, but no actual, you know, certificate in art or anything else.

01:28:27.660 And, you know, a gallery is carrying my art and it does come with a hefty price.

01:28:32.800 However, I don't have a track record of doing deals and trying to find ways to make money

01:28:41.540 just because I'm the son of the president or the vice president.

01:28:45.380 And that way you pay me for something that I'm really not doing.

01:28:48.380 And you get to go talk to my dad.

01:28:50.020 Well, that's right.

01:28:51.000 And also Glenn, I mean, I know your story.

01:28:53.240 I mean, you didn't start out in the radio with a nationally syndicated program.

01:28:57.280 And what, what Hunter Biden is basically saying is I've never, I don't even know if he did

01:29:02.460 art in high school, but what he's doing is he's going from having no background, no history

01:29:08.460 of doing art to saying, I'm going to charge $500,000 for a piece of art.

01:29:13.280 And by the way, my business partner, the guy that owns this gallery has been trying for

01:29:18.220 years to break into the Chinese art market by opening up galleries.

01:29:22.860 We know who the buyers are going to be.

01:29:24.920 It's, it's, it's the same, it's the same thing, Glenn, uh, with, with Hunter's business

01:29:29.760 career, he wasn't going to Tokyo and London and doing deals with recognized companies.

01:29:36.060 He was going to Ukraine, to Moscow, to Beijing.

01:29:40.440 It's going to be the same thing here.

01:29:42.300 Nobody believes serious collectors in the art world are going to prize these properties

01:29:48.400 and buy them.

01:29:49.200 They're going to be marketed.

01:29:50.360 They've already talked about this.

01:29:51.960 They're going to be marketed in places like China.

01:29:54.520 Um, and they're not being sold, uh, you know, with sort of a made up artistic name.

01:29:59.820 Uh, they're being sold as Hunter Biden.

01:30:02.220 Everybody knows who Hunter Biden is.

01:30:04.120 So it's very clear what this is.

01:30:05.660 And the White House response to this has been laughable, Glenn, because the only way you

01:30:11.240 can deal with this is if, if Hunter's really going to do this is with a level of transparency.

01:30:16.340 And you've got to give Bill and Hillary Clinton credit here.

01:30:19.800 When, when Bill started doing all those speeches, when Hillary was in the Senate and secretary of 0.66

01:30:24.380 state, they at least have the decency to say, we're going to disclose who's paying bill

01:30:28.680 and how much.

01:30:29.500 Uh, the Biden White House is saying the opposite.

01:30:33.080 We're actually going to keep it secret.

01:30:35.220 Somehow that's going to make it less corrupt.

01:30:37.980 It's just laughable.

01:30:40.340 So, you know, when I was growing up, the big scandal, uh, you know, with, with, uh, people

01:30:46.780 trying to cash in on the president was Billy, Billy beer, Billy Carter.

01:30:50.860 Right.

01:30:51.340 Um, which is pretty small potatoes.

01:30:53.560 Uh, and we've, we've always seemed to care until the Clintons, um, and now the evidence

01:31:02.860 is so clear what's going on, at least on Hunter Biden, that you would think that this would

01:31:10.100 be really important.

01:31:12.120 Um, is in the laptop, if you care to say, um, or even out of the laptop, is there any direct

01:31:20.340 evidence that shows, I mean, solid evidence that shows that is exactly what's happening.

01:31:26.680 This is a pay for play.

01:31:28.500 Uh, and, uh, Joe Biden is profiting off of this.

01:31:34.020 Uh, yeah, the answer is yes.

01:31:35.960 Um, and you know, Glenn, we've known each other for a long time, worked on a lot of projects

01:31:40.260 together.

01:31:40.680 I'm, I'm always loathe to, uh, you know, to draw conclusions that you can't draw based

01:31:46.160 on the material, but, uh, you know, look, there's 30,000 Hunter Biden emails.

01:31:50.340 We got access to them.

01:31:51.960 We have the collection.

01:31:53.560 Uh, we were very skeptical.

01:31:55.020 We didn't want to accept them at face value.

01:31:57.240 So what we did, Glenn, was we cross-referenced the Hunter Biden emails with every other data

01:32:02.760 set that we know is fact.

01:32:04.300 For example, uh, the U.S. Senate released Hunter Biden, the Secret Service travel record.

01:32:09.260 So we know where the Secret Service traveled with him on what date.

01:32:13.100 We cross-referenced the Hunter Biden emails.

01:32:15.580 If an email says Hunter's going to be in Dubai next week, does that actually correspond

01:32:20.180 with the Secret Service travel records?

01:32:22.200 In every single case, absolutely 100%.

01:32:25.580 So there's no way that, that it could, they could have been made up in that respect.

01:32:29.700 We then cross-referenced them to the Bevan Cooney emails.

01:32:32.960 Bevan Cooney, a Hunter Biden business partner who went to jail.

01:32:35.800 Bevan Cooney granted us access to his Gmail accounts, meaning we didn't get printed out

01:32:41.400 emails.

01:32:42.040 We didn't get copies.

01:32:42.900 We actually go into his Gmail accounts.

01:32:45.100 He and Hunter exchanged emails.

01:32:47.380 So the question is, are the Hunter Biden laptop emails, do they correspond with the Bevan

01:32:52.380 Cooney emails?

01:32:53.720 Again, yes, 100%.

01:32:56.180 Then you look at the wire transfers that the Senate committee released, you know, of the

01:33:01.240 money coming from Russia and China.

01:33:03.480 You reference, you look at the references in the Hunter Biden laptop to wire transfers of

01:33:08.200 money.

01:33:08.820 Do those correspond?

01:33:09.860 Absolutely 100%.

01:33:12.220 So the Biden laptop emails that we have gone through are verified all different ways.

01:33:18.840 There's no, you know, challenging the veracity.

01:33:21.720 Then the question becomes what's in them.

01:33:23.800 And that's very challenging because there's 30,000 and just doing a word search really

01:33:28.660 is not the way.

01:33:29.460 So we've hand gone through almost all of them.

01:33:32.960 We're about halfway through the investigation.

01:33:34.940 And a couple of things stand out, Glenn.

01:33:37.140 First of all, this is not just a Hunter Biden story.

01:33:39.980 This is a Joe Biden story.

01:33:41.340 Joe Biden financially directly benefited from Hunter Biden's deals while he was vice president.

01:33:50.380 That's not surmising.

01:33:52.380 That's not implying.

01:33:53.960 It's directly evidenced in the emails.

01:33:57.360 And is it a, I mean, because Peter, that is quite a charge.

01:34:01.140 Um, is it buttoned up 100?

01:34:05.100 There's no way this could be taken apart, uh, and, and, and looked at in a different way.

01:34:12.600 Yeah.

01:34:13.200 I'll tell you how clear cut it is, Glenn.

01:34:15.320 Uh, Hunter Biden takes money from foreign entities.

01:34:18.540 Hunter Biden consistently and regularly is paying his father's and his mother's bills while

01:34:25.240 they're vice president of the United States.

01:34:27.020 Um, that's how clear cut it is.

01:34:29.120 And by the way, that's not legal.

01:34:31.300 It's not legal for an elected official.

01:34:33.840 You can get gifts from family members, uh, but it's very specifically defined what a gift

01:34:40.580 is and paying their bills, uh, does not count as giving them a gift.

01:34:46.080 So it is.

01:34:46.800 But how much money?

01:34:47.620 I mean, you know, what is that?

01:34:48.960 You know, they live modestly, I'm sure.

01:34:50.900 Oh, no, I mean, it's, it's, uh, I, I'm not going to give you an exact amount now, but

01:34:55.500 it's not a modest amount.

01:34:57.260 Um, and the other thing that is clear is that Hunter Biden, uh, it's, it's a quid pro quo.

01:35:04.260 Um, there are emails in which he actually is communicating with foreign nationals where

01:35:09.380 he says, uh, I have given you all the access you asked for in the white house.

01:35:14.320 I got meetings at the vice president's residence.

01:35:16.880 I got you meeting with white house officials.

01:35:19.440 I got you meeting to, uh, at white house events.

01:35:22.980 Um, and then he's angry because the promise deals have not materialized.

01:35:27.840 So he's laying out explicitly that the access was a quid pro quo.

01:35:33.440 Um, so these are just sort of the ground level.

01:35:37.380 Um, I will tell you that, uh, once we are done with the investigation and once we release

01:35:43.440 it, um, uh, this is going to be a massive scandal that's going to raise all kinds of

01:35:50.740 fundamental questions, uh, about the nature of the Obama, of the, sorry, of the Biden administration,

01:35:56.420 uh, and how and why certain decisions are being made in the Biden white house.

01:36:01.840 Currently, currently, currently.

01:36:07.460 Peter, uh, you need some, uh, you need some extra security.

01:36:12.400 Just let me know, uh, you, you are, you're headed down a dark, dark rabbit hole.

01:36:18.340 Um, do you have any idea when you'll be able to release any of this?

01:36:21.960 Uh, it'll probably be in January.

01:36:24.600 Um, and I will say, Glenn, I mean, and we've known each other for many years, have done a

01:36:28.240 lot of things.

01:36:28.740 This is, uh, I would say by far, uh, the most frightening, uh, research that we've done.

01:36:35.020 That includes the Clintons.

01:36:36.340 That includes the previous work on the Biden's, the insider trading in Congress.

01:36:40.280 Uh, this is by far, uh, the most frightening, uh, what do you mean by, what do you mean by

01:36:45.880 frightening?

01:36:46.680 Uh, you're, you're talking about, uh, let's say very sinister foreign entities.

01:36:51.940 You know, this is not, when people think of corruption, I think a lot of times, Glenn,

01:36:57.280 people think of, you know, okay, this congressman, you know, got a contract for this paving company,

01:37:03.320 or they, they helped out some wall street banker and I'm not minimizing it.

01:37:08.000 That's important stuff.

01:37:09.140 But what we're dealing with here is, is a Biden family business model that's laid out in the,

01:37:15.500 in the Biden emails and other, uh, sources of information that I've just talked about.

01:37:20.280 Uh, their business model was not to just go for, uh, low hanging fruit in safe places

01:37:27.220 to collect money.

01:37:28.640 Uh, they went directly, um, to the darkest corners of the earth when it comes to corruption

01:37:35.480 and adversaries of the United States, uh, and were prepared to do their bidding.

01:37:40.220 That, that is the bottom line that comes out of these emails.

01:37:43.620 And that is not surmising.

01:37:45.620 That is explicit and detailed, um, in, in the emails.

01:37:49.780 And, and people will be able to read it for themselves, uh, when we release them.

01:37:53.600 I mean this sincerely, Peter, stay safe.

01:37:57.320 We will, Glenn.

01:37:58.280 And I appreciate, as always, uh, your friendship and, and encouragement and support for what we do.

01:38:02.580 You bet.

01:38:02.900 Thanks a lot.

01:38:03.460 Peter Schweitzer.

01:38:06.880 Wow.

01:38:08.340 That is going to be a big deal.

01:38:10.040 And if you know anything, I mean, again, he throws out, you know, this is bigger than when

01:38:13.740 we found insider trading in Congress.

01:38:15.920 Peter is literally responsible for changing the law of the United States because of that investigation.

01:38:21.120 This is not a minor thing.

01:38:23.120 It all stopped.

01:38:24.040 Insider traders trading stopped, um, in Congress because of, of his work.

01:38:29.640 He has exposed big, big things for him to say what, what, what makes me really nervous,

01:38:35.660 pray for him and his staff and the people around him.

01:38:39.540 Uh, when he says it's the most frightening when you're dealing in those dark corners, uh,

01:38:45.640 you know, you know what happens to people who cross Putin, um, anywhere, anywhere in the world.

01:38:54.080 All right.

01:38:54.660 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:40:26.620 Remember, um, I think it was on HBO.

01:40:29.060 HBO and it's such a great series and I watched it because it's pretty much about the Murdochs.

01:40:37.400 At least that's what they, they want you to think.

01:40:39.760 What's that series?

01:40:41.520 Uh, do you know what I'm talking about?

01:40:43.320 Yes, totally.

01:40:44.380 Secession.

01:40:44.920 Yeah.

01:40:45.280 Secession.

01:40:45.880 Okay.

01:40:46.640 And, uh, the son's name.

01:40:49.380 Kendall.

01:40:49.980 Kendall.

01:40:51.040 I think that is the Hunter Biden story.

01:40:54.880 Yes.

01:40:55.900 Every time I, I, you, the more and more you see about what Hunter has done and been doing

01:41:01.240 over his life.

01:41:02.060 You just can't get Hunter or you can't get Kendall out of your mind if you've watched

01:41:06.660 that show.

01:41:07.340 And if you've watched that show, you just think, I mean, it is exactly the same story.

01:41:12.740 Dad is, uh, seemingly a nice guy to him, but not really. 0.81

01:41:17.620 He's passive aggressive, like crazy.

01:41:19.620 And he's using all of his, his, uh, addictions against him and gets him to make, you know,

01:41:27.800 money for the family, do all the illicit deals and, and would flush him down the toilet in 0.98

01:41:33.600 a heartbeat.

01:41:34.160 And you look at what's going on right now.

01:41:35.860 If, if this was a sane relationship between father and son, the last thing in the world

01:41:41.740 Hunter would be doing is this, right?

01:41:44.800 I mean, like, yeah, of course he deserves to be able to earn a living, but he shouldn't

01:41:48.880 be doing it in the most corrupt industry imaginable.

01:41:53.560 If, if, if, I mean, you know, Joe Biden, and I don't want to judge anybody's love for

01:41:58.120 their, for their family, but honestly, to put Joe Biden into the presidency, his family

01:42:04.700 should have stepped up and said, you know, dad, no, um, because he's just not there.

01:42:12.240 Uh, and in the reverse, I will tell you if, if I love my children and I do,

01:42:18.880 if one of them had the record of Hunter Biden, I'd be there for him every step of the way,

01:42:23.660 but I would not be putting him into these high pressure situations and, you know, lots

01:42:29.580 of money and corruption all around.

01:42:31.960 That would be the worst thing I could do to a drug addict.

01:42:34.720 Yeah.

01:42:35.020 I mean, think about it.

01:42:36.020 There's only two possibilities here.

01:42:37.440 Hunter, if Hunter, you know, really cared about the presidency of the United, let's say everything's

01:42:45.380 completely fine and he cares about his dad's presidency.

01:42:47.720 The last thing in the world he would be doing is this, right?

01:42:50.840 Something that makes it look like.

01:42:52.600 Right.

01:42:53.120 The appearance.

01:42:53.600 On the other hand, the only reason you do it in that situation is if these payments and

01:43:00.940 influence were actually real, like if this was a purchase of influence, then you wouldn't

01:43:08.420 necessarily stop them.

01:43:09.940 And what is his answer been to hide all the people who are buying the art?

01:43:13.680 I mean, it certainly adds up to corruption.

01:43:16.740 And I think we're going to find a lot more from Peter over the next six months or so that

01:43:21.380 backs that up.

01:43:22.260 That is remarkable.

01:43:23.640 Remarkable.

01:43:23.760 What Peter just said was remarkable.

01:43:26.460 That is worth sharing with some friends.

01:43:30.940 I want to talk to you a little bit about Goldline.

01:43:44.800 They have come into possession of a very rare lot of the most historic coin in U.S. history,

01:43:51.180 at least one of them.

01:43:52.180 It's the five five dollar gold Indian head.

01:43:55.900 What a surprise.

01:43:57.000 It's not worth five dollars anymore because it's solid gold.

01:43:59.700 It's extremely similar to the five dollar Liberty coins that I own and I buy them for

01:44:05.600 a reason.

01:44:06.100 I'm a coin collector and it's it's worth about 10 times.

01:44:10.500 It's or I should say it's rarer about 10 times rarer than the gold Liberty coins.

01:44:14.800 It's highly sought after.

01:44:16.420 They have very few of these.

01:44:18.960 They've just got a lot in of this this week.

01:44:22.840 They are offering a pre-launch special before they offer these to the general public with

01:44:28.580 each tube of Indian head coins purchased.

01:44:37.660 preparedness handbook all at no additional cost.

01:44:40.800 You have a chance to buy these before anybody else.

01:44:44.440 It's only available this week.

01:44:46.160 And while the inventory lasts, call Goldline right now.

01:44:55.580 Promo code is Glenn.

01:44:56.340 You got a brand new Studios America followed by the brand new Glenn TV.

01:44:59.640 The origins of COVID tonight.

01:45:01.700 Welcome to the program to a good friend of the program, Giancarlo Sopo, a conservative

01:45:12.720 media strategist, former Trump campaign official, and somebody whose family escaped from Cuba.

01:45:19.560 Welcome, Giancarlo.

01:45:20.620 How are you?

01:45:22.020 Hey, Glenn.

01:45:22.660 It's so great to talk to you again.

01:45:24.240 Yeah, great to talk to you.

01:45:25.720 I've been thinking about you for the last few days.

01:45:27.960 As soon as I saw the protests in Cuba, can you tell us what's really going on from the

01:45:34.780 ground?

01:45:35.080 Do you have any contact with anybody in Cuba?

01:45:38.840 Yeah, we have.

01:45:40.400 I have many sources on the ground there.

01:45:42.540 Essentially, what's going on is that people are just fed up.

01:45:45.760 People are fed up with six decades of oppressive tyranny.

01:45:50.520 You know, there's been a lot of attention on COVID and whether this protest is for vaccines

01:45:56.700 or whatever.

01:45:57.160 That's all nonsense.

01:45:58.740 Maybe COVID is the straw that broke the camel's back because it showed that the Cuban regime's 1.00

01:46:05.720 propaganda that it's some kind of health care paradise was entirely false.

01:46:10.720 And Cubans are now very aware of that because they're seeing that while the rest of the world

01:46:15.260 is moving past COVID, cases on the island are skyrocketing.

01:46:19.640 People are dying in hospitals because there is no oxygen.

01:46:24.220 There is no treatment for COVID on the island.

01:46:27.580 The Cuban regime refused Pfizer vaccines on a humanitarian basis.

01:46:33.500 So we did offer.

01:46:34.540 Oh, yeah.

01:46:36.580 So everyone talks about the embargo.

01:46:38.720 The embargo has very wide loopholes for food and for medicine.

01:46:43.700 This is entirely the Casca regime's doing because they have choked off innovation on the island. 1.00

01:46:51.540 It's a communist dictatorship.

01:46:52.940 The government is by far the largest employer in the state, in the in the nation.

01:47:00.460 Their entire economy is under the control of the Cuban military.

01:47:05.120 When people go to hotels in Cuba, what they're actually doing is giving the money directly to the Cuban military apparatus,

01:47:13.520 because imagine that if you stayed here like at a Holiday Inn, you were giving money to the U.S. Army because the Army owned Holiday Inn.

01:47:20.400 That's exactly what what's what the situation is like in Cuba.

01:47:24.180 When you go to a Cuban hotel or any kind of state run establishment for tourists that feeds money directly into the coffers of the Cuban military,

01:47:32.680 which is why I've always encouraged if Americans are going is to support the private sector.

01:47:37.440 Do not stay in anything that's like funded by the government.

01:47:40.640 So people are just fed up. There had been what like massive crackdowns on prominent artists on the island in in recent months who began protesting the regime.

01:47:53.920 And then like with greater Internet access, people have become more aware and just less afraid.

01:47:58.720 There is no respect for Cuba's current dictator, the man who inherited the crown, per se, from Raul Castro.

01:48:06.920 Nobody respects them. He's a charlatan. He's a fraud. 0.93

01:48:11.440 And so the Cuban people are fed up and they're demanding their God given rights.

01:48:16.040 So tell me about because 100 people have been disappeared, a Chinese word where they were protesting and now they're just gone.

01:48:27.580 Tell me how dangerous it's becoming for people on the streets.

01:48:32.600 It's very dangerous. We're seeing footage and I'm receiving a lot of people.

01:48:36.920 People on the island who are able to sneak out images because they're somehow able to use proxies and VPNs to go around the government censors of the Internet.

01:48:47.660 Yeah, because I thought that they I thought they had shut the Internet down there.

01:48:52.120 That's what you maintain the Internet, what they've blocked off or any kind of social media sites.

01:48:56.780 But Cubans are extremely resourceful and intelligent and they're able to kind of like they're able to kind of get around them with your proxies and VPNs if they're able to access them.

01:49:08.580 So the government is now deployed its BlackBerry forces going neighborhood by neighborhood, cleaning out homes, arresting dissidents, mandatory enlistment of young men between the ages of 18 and 19 and 20 into the military.

01:49:28.580 They have like there are there are images of the regime dragging people in that age group, young men in that age group out of their homes and forcing them to attack their fellow Cubans.

01:49:39.640 The situation is getting really nasty, and I'm also hearing reports.

01:49:44.840 I've been unable to independently verify this, but I've now received a couple of reports from people on the ground in Cuba saying that their neighborhoods are being patrolled by people with foreign accents.

01:49:55.440 So these would be Venezuelan troops on the island in Cuba.

01:50:01.100 Uh, I was shocked to see Biden say, you know, anything about the fight for freedom in Cuba.

01:50:11.660 Um, we have an opportunity now to help the people of I mean, this regime could fall because of this and we're not doing anything.

01:50:22.460 What should we be doing?

01:50:23.980 Well, that's a very good question.

01:50:27.200 I think one of the first things that we could do is to work to facilitate Internet access as much as possible to the Cubans, whether it's through satellite or whether it's through our military base in Guantanamo.

01:50:41.400 There are ways to do it.

01:50:43.280 We should be very aggressively pursuing that if the technology allows for it.

01:50:47.400 The second thing is that the U.S. State Department, the Department of Defense could work with American VPN providers and proxy servers to make their services more easily available to the Cuban people so they can circumvent the censors.

01:51:03.980 And then the last thing that we should be looking at is that, look, the Cuban people do not have weapons.

01:51:09.320 One of the first things that Fidel Castro did when he came into power is that he confiscated all guns.

01:51:14.360 Cubans are not allowed to own guns of any kind, not even for hunting.

01:51:17.360 So if there's one thing that we should be doing is if we should be considering a humanitarian corridor where we would and send the Castro regime a very clear message.

01:51:28.700 If you fire upon your people, you will all options are on the table. 0.99

01:51:35.040 We will enforce we will work with our allies to bring peace to the Cuban people.

01:51:39.840 But we cannot tolerate a massacre of the Cuban people.

01:51:44.000 You're talking about the if there's one thing that Cuba does very well, it's intelligence and its internal military operations and policing.

01:51:53.620 So we should be defending the Cuban people or help at least helping them defend themselves.

01:52:00.020 How can we help?

01:52:00.980 How can the average person help?

01:52:03.380 The best thing that people could do right now is continue sharing images coming out of Cuba, retweet them, keep the issue on the news.

01:52:12.400 The regime always bets that our attention is going to go away elsewhere and that people will not care for dissidents, that Americans will not pay any attention to them arresting and beating people.

01:52:27.560 So I've been tweeting out a lot of images and I know that you've been very supportive, Glenn, and so have and so have other people like Ben Shapiro who are really drawing a lot of attention to this issue.

01:52:38.680 Keep retweeting that, keep Cuba on the news and use the hashtag SOS Cuba.

01:52:44.300 Okay.

01:52:45.460 Giancarlo Sopo, we pray for Cuba and we pray for sanity.

01:52:52.440 It's remarkable to me that these countries are seeing uprisings, China, Cuba, Venezuela.

01:53:00.380 They're seeing these uprisings and we are a society going in the exact opposite direction.

01:53:07.600 We're running towards it.

01:53:10.480 It's mind boggling.

01:53:12.020 Yeah.

01:53:12.800 Whereas the I always encourage everyone go to Miami, speak to Cuban Americans are like our community can can talk to anyone about the reality of living under socialism, totalitarian rule.

01:53:27.600 And I think, you know, Americans are always amazed when they go to Miami and they speak to Cuban expats just about how patriotic we feel about this country and how grateful we are.

01:53:39.240 So thank you so much for your support, Glenn.

01:53:41.400 And I really appreciate the listeners tuning in as well.

01:53:44.400 Thanks a lot.

01:53:44.940 Appreciate it.

01:53:46.980 All right.

01:53:47.740 We're going to come back for the last few minutes of the program.

01:53:51.040 First, let me tell you about American financing.

01:53:53.460 How's your financial life looking?

01:53:55.380 Do you have a pretty clean slate right now or are you working to pay off some debts?

01:53:59.440 It can be tough, especially when you're trying to clear some of those debts.

01:54:03.020 The ones with high interest payments, credit cards, your mortgage, any loans that you might have.

01:54:08.920 And don't get me started on the credit cards with the enormous interest rates because they are going to go through the through the roof soon.

01:54:16.900 It's time for you to make the call.

01:54:18.780 And, you know, the call that I'm talking about the call to American financing.

01:54:30.840 Maybe it's time to refinance that mortgage at a lower rate.

01:54:35.220 Lower rates are still to be had.

01:54:37.300 Maybe it's time to roll the debts into consolidation loan.

01:54:40.060 It will square you off with everything else so you can finally breathe a little.

01:54:44.040 Whatever the option is that's best for you, they'll help you find it.

01:55:07.140 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program tonight.

01:55:09.360 It's Wednesday night, and you know what that means.

01:55:11.720 Party at Glenn's house.

01:55:13.840 It's our blaze team.

01:55:16.520 Really?

01:55:17.060 That's what it means?

01:55:18.600 I thought you wanted people to come and check out the show.

01:55:20.440 You should see my parties.

01:55:21.240 That's what my parties are like.

01:55:22.600 I've been to your parties.

01:55:23.820 My parties aren't horrible.

01:55:28.220 They're usually good after you leave.

01:55:30.660 Right?

01:55:31.380 Yeah, because they're usually in fun places, and fun things are available, and you come

01:55:35.300 in, and you kind of do your thing, and then you leave, and then they get really fun.

01:55:38.540 Right.

01:55:38.780 That's exactly what they are.

01:55:40.740 It's the best way to do a party.

01:55:43.200 Don't show up for it.

01:55:44.760 You know what I mean?

01:55:45.480 Yeah.

01:55:45.700 Invite a bunch of people that you really like, and that all get along, and do something really

01:55:51.680 fun, and then come in and just go, hey, it's going to be great.

01:55:56.760 Everybody having a good time?

01:55:58.120 Listen, I just want to say, hey, whatever, and then leave.

01:56:03.400 Mm-hmm.

01:56:04.560 And you do the kind of the slip-out thing, where you just kind of-

01:56:08.700 What do you mean a slip-out thing?

01:56:09.540 Well, you do a little speech or whatever, and then you get halfway through, like, you

01:56:13.060 know, whatever's going on, and then all of a sudden, no, where's Glenn?

01:56:15.820 Is he still here?

01:56:17.920 Well, the party's fun, so no, he's not.

01:56:20.240 And everyone realizes that you've just slithered out the back door somehow.

01:56:24.680 Yeah.

01:56:24.900 I don't slither.

01:56:26.060 It's more of a slink than a slither. 0.94

01:56:29.300 Men of our size do not slither.

01:56:30.640 I would agree.

01:56:31.360 Yeah, right, and I can't slink either at this size.

01:56:35.320 It's more of a roll.

01:56:36.400 Yeah.

01:56:37.580 It's like, who's bowling out in the hallway?

01:56:39.580 I didn't mean to.

01:56:40.940 I didn't mean to leave the party.

01:56:42.620 It was just the door was, you know, right behind a big slant in the room, and I just

01:56:48.500 rolled out.

01:56:49.960 It's really sad.

01:56:51.620 It's very sad.

01:56:53.180 Very sad.

01:56:53.760 But you have the big show tonight, which you're going to be talking about the origins

01:56:58.000 of COVID, right after, I should mention, a brand new.

01:57:00.880 Stu Does America on Blaze TV, blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:57:05.240 The promo code is Glenn.

01:57:07.180 Save your $10.

01:57:07.860 Then after you listen to that bullcrap, then what you do is you listen to the Glenn Beck

01:57:12.960 Wednesday night special, which is all about COVID.

01:57:16.360 A couple of chalkboards are being pulled out.

01:57:18.200 This is a great, great episode.

01:57:19.960 I wish someone said that already.

01:57:22.280 That would have been helpful if someone had mentioned that your special on COVID and the

01:57:28.420 origins was tonight.

01:57:29.820 I thought you were blabbing about your thing, whatever it is.

01:57:32.820 I was also blabbing about my thing.

01:57:35.320 I tuned out after that.

01:57:37.020 All right.

01:57:37.640 Anyway, you know the woman who started the 1619 project?

01:57:42.380 Hannah Nicole Jones or whatever.

01:57:47.340 She did an interview where she was talking about Cuba.

01:57:56.040 And I think you're going to really relate to her.

01:57:58.320 Now, remember, 1619 project. 0.83

01:58:00.640 She's been the one who is really pushing all of this garbage into our schools. 0.89

01:58:05.280 Here's what she said about Cuba. 0.99

01:58:07.100 Listen.

01:58:07.560 Candidates right now or even just places that you think have a viable and sufficiently ambitious

01:58:15.500 integration agenda.

01:58:17.060 And if so, what is it?

01:58:20.380 That laughs at a lot right there.

01:58:22.020 I mean, one, let me just I'm definitely not an expert on race relations internationally.

01:58:30.160 Um, and it's also hard to look at countries that didn't have, you know, a large institutions

01:58:39.040 of slavery and compare them to United States.

01:58:41.980 The answer is probably going to be surprising that I'm going to give, which is if you want

01:58:48.040 to see the most equal, uh, multiracial, uh, it's not a democracy, most equal multiracial

01:58:55.220 country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba.

01:58:57.760 Cuba has the least inequality between black and white people, uh, uh, any place really

01:59:05.000 in the hemisphere that, uh, I mean, the Caribbean, most of the Caribbean, it's, it's hard to count

01:59:10.960 because the white population in a lot of those countries is very, very small.

01:59:14.720 They're countries run by black folks, but in places that are truly, um, at least bi-racial 0.57

01:59:20.460 countries, Cuba actually has the least inequality. 0.90

01:59:23.400 Wow, that's great.

01:59:24.460 That's largely due to socialism, which I'm sure no one wants to hear.

01:59:27.900 Yeah.

01:59:28.520 Yeah.

01:59:29.080 So, I mean, what is that?

01:59:30.020 What is that actually?

01:59:30.900 So, she, she goes on to say that it is the revolution really happened because of what they

01:59:37.680 did with education.

01:59:39.120 You know, they came in and they, they started teaching the kids about revolution and the,

01:59:44.560 the communist principles.

01:59:45.780 Uh, and, uh, gosh, it's, uh, good to see that, uh, she understands exactly what she's doing

01:59:53.440 here in America, sowing the seeds of revolution.

01:59:56.900 She said, without getting to the children, you cannot have a revolution.

02:00:01.680 Um, so congratulations, uh, Cuba, you have somebody speaking out for you.

02:00:08.260 Well, not for you, but for the leadership.

02:00:09.860 And by the way, um, I've been to a lot of Caribbean countries and some of them are nice,

02:00:15.620 but I sure wouldn't want to live there.

02:00:17.500 Uh, you know, they're good for about a week or so.

02:00:19.600 And then you're like, ah, I gotta, you know, get back to a place that has working roads and

02:00:25.200 systems and, and, and, and, and, and not like massive poverty, right?

02:00:30.880 Like three blocks away from where you are.

02:00:33.300 I saw the Michael Moore documentary about Cuba and did you know, there's a doctor on every

02:00:39.920 corner, every corner.

02:00:41.580 Think about how inefficient of a healthcare system that is to provide a, just a doctor

02:00:45.960 on every corner of every street, but that's what they do.

02:00:48.540 They have so many doctors and so much medication.

02:00:52.380 They'll give it a right to anybody.

02:00:53.940 And did you know, doctors and nurses, they just walk up to places and do house calls like

02:00:58.740 all day long.

02:00:59.860 Wow.

02:01:00.380 At least that according to the footage that they got in Cuba.

02:01:03.000 Yeah.

02:01:03.540 Uh, something doesn't seem right about that, uh, that lie about, uh, the socialist countries

02:01:09.480 like Cuba.

02:01:11.260 Um, and, and, you know, there's a reason why everybody's, you know, equal, um, you know, 0.97

02:01:19.000 for the most part, as she said, for the most part, yeah, everybody's life sucks.

02:01:24.320 Everybody is poor except for the very, very, very few at the top. 0.84

02:01:29.800 And you can't really even count those guys.

02:01:32.300 Cause it's not a big number.

02:01:33.680 It's only just a few people at the very, very top, uh, you know, but everybody else is

02:01:40.080 equal.

02:01:40.600 Yeah.

02:01:40.940 I don't want that kind of equality.

02:01:42.440 Thank you.

02:01:42.960 I don't want that kind of equality.

02:01:45.380 People who live here at the poorest portions live better than many in Cuba. 0.98

02:01:50.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.

02:01:53.120 This is the Glenn Beck program.
