00:02:56.000
Normally, we would even be able to have sort of a nice, happy, calm, relaxing holiday.
00:03:05.160
Even though it's like drinking from a fire hose, I often say.
00:03:12.360
And then also lots of things that are still making you scratch your head, especially on the COVID front.
00:03:20.660
That's a serious question I asked the other day.
00:03:22.620
And the reason I asked that is, unfortunately, if you heard yesterday's show,
00:03:30.020
you know that there is far too often politics at play and everything, but especially this.
00:03:42.660
And needlessly, it's costing people their lives.
00:03:48.800
And if you didn't get a chance to hear it, go back, GlennBeck.com.
00:04:05.460
What the doctors had to do and what I guess they didn't do or did that ended up to the unfortunate situation that that family has lost their mother.
00:04:25.060
Coming up, a doctor who's blowing the whistle on some things that are happening inside.
00:04:29.260
Now, you know, we've been told when it comes to all things hospitals and COVID, et cetera, we're supposed to follow the science, the data.
00:04:38.480
Supposed to trust the doctors, especially the ones in the white coats.
00:04:41.420
This man is a doctor, so you'll be able to hear the story.
00:04:44.320
And I've got some questions, plus I think you may have some for him, too.
00:04:50.940
But the politics of all this may be the reason why COVID is actually crumbling.
00:04:55.600
The CDC has had to come out in the last week and, of course, issue their new guidelines.
00:05:03.140
For a rundown of what happened over the last week alone.
00:05:09.760
CNN's come out and said, cloth masks don't work.
00:05:14.620
Now, you may or may not have heard this clip, but it's real.
00:05:27.040
Now, some might argue about her credentials, especially prior to this, and whether she should have been giving advice at all.
00:05:33.780
But after she has, and been on CNN over and over and over again, dishing it out,
00:05:42.840
I think it's only fair to listen to her latest, where she said, look, those cloth masks,
00:05:49.220
the same one that you're being made to wear, and maybe the kids being made to wear in certain places,
00:06:06.800
Now, she'll argue you probably need to wear, like, an N95 or some sort of space suit all together.
00:06:16.440
That's probably what she would argue that you need to do if you want to be fully protected, 100%.
00:06:23.840
And really, the question is, can you ever be 100% protected at all times from anything?
00:06:33.200
You know, I think that's part of the issue that we face a lot of times these days.
00:06:37.160
No one wants to admit that it's just not possible.
00:06:41.400
And I'll tell you darn sure this, the government can't protect you 100% from everything.
00:06:48.460
But there are many that hang on to that notion.
00:07:04.500
And, of course, the politicization of all of it.
00:07:09.060
So now, all of a sudden, she's come out and saying cloth masks don't work.
00:07:12.400
Cloth masks are not appropriate for this pandemic.
00:07:17.860
It was not appropriate for Delta, Alpha, or any of the previous variants either, because we're dealing with something that's airborne.
00:07:36.080
And even here in Michigan, where we have, the governor's done something really interesting.
00:07:43.180
But she was shutting down stars and telling you what you could buy when you couldn't buy.
00:07:48.760
And when the kids finally did get to come back to school, they had to wear these masks.
00:07:52.120
And we didn't care whether a cloth mask or whether it was, you know, the three-ply thing that they've got out there.
00:08:00.940
Or whether you just put, you know, some Halloween mask up to their face.
00:08:09.360
And the kids actually still have to do that in some of these places.
00:08:13.000
The governor stayed out of it this school year.
00:08:15.140
She said, no, I'm not going to get into it last year.
00:08:21.820
This year, because she's got to run for re-election in 22, she stayed out of everything.
00:08:25.820
But I thought it was about the science and the data, governor.
00:08:38.500
And so instead, what they did is they worked behind the scenes to deal with schools and, of course, county health departments to ask them to mandate masks.
00:08:50.360
Until the legislation, which is Republican-led at this point, who knows what happens next year, stepped in and passed some sort of bill that had basically the funding tied to the fact that you couldn't have any of these crazy mask orders or emergency-type things in place when it comes to these health departments.
00:09:11.000
Virtually all of the health departments in the state, except for four, dropped them.
00:09:17.840
Well, it was because the governor stepped up and said, I will still make sure that your health departments get funded if you follow my policies.
00:09:31.160
And so she's still pulling the strings and calling the shots from the back.
00:09:40.720
And now, as those orders are about to expire, in fact, many of them do at midnight tonight.
00:09:47.840
Some of these schools now are stepping up and saying, we're going to keep the masks on the kids.
00:09:55.720
And when I say don't work, they're not 100% effective.
00:09:58.900
Some might argue maybe they add a little bit of protection.
00:10:02.420
But I guess really the question is the risk of what it means psychologically, physically, emotionally, mentally, all of it, to mask these kids.
00:10:13.820
And the parents, are they allowed to make those decisions?
00:10:24.960
Freaking out constantly about whether or not the kids are going to catch something?
00:10:29.480
Are they the ones that should be making those decisions for other kids?
00:10:32.400
Or should you just say, look, we're going to let each parent make each decision on their own.
00:10:39.640
But as you know, and I do, 2020 and 21, I mean, hopefully things change in this next year.
00:10:49.240
I think we're on track for very much the same, a lot of it anyway.
00:10:52.780
Although people are waking up in a lot of ways.
00:10:54.680
But why not let every parent make their own decision for each child?
00:11:08.920
So now schools, superintendents, they've been co-opted by all this mess.
00:11:12.920
And of course, we're seeing surge in case numbers, et cetera.
00:11:15.280
And we'll try and dig between some of the lines on these things, especially when it comes to the hospital numbers.
00:11:19.500
I'm getting just incredible information in from people.
00:11:24.680
I guess they figure that this stuff is not going to leak out.
00:11:29.860
And even if it does, it won't be picked up by the local news or the nightly Lester Holt and those folks.
00:11:36.220
But it is making the truth is making its way out right now.
00:11:41.480
So kids are back in masks, even though apparently they don't work.
00:11:45.160
Cloth masks are not appropriate for this pandemic.
00:11:50.720
It was not appropriate for Delta Alpha or any of the previous variants either.
00:11:54.680
Because we're dealing with something that's airborne.
00:12:00.800
We've got the CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, coming out and saying PCR tests are unreliable, basically.
00:12:06.840
In fact, at the end of your quarantine, you don't have to test again because they admit you could test positive for 12 weeks.
00:12:21.700
You could have even had it and didn't know about it because you were asymptomatic.
00:12:28.760
Remember how afraid we had to be of people who were asymptomatic during the beginning of this, much of the first year?
00:12:49.460
In fact, Fauci is now speaking out and saying things that will make you scratch your head.
00:12:58.060
He's saying some things that could be problematic.
00:13:07.060
I'm going to give you some of those things coming up in a second.
00:13:09.500
I got video and audio that I want to make sure that I play for you so you stay informed.
00:13:14.560
But coming up, bottom of the hour, we're going to talk to a doctor who is blowing the whistle on what is happening in hospitals.
00:13:22.760
Remember, we're supposed to follow the science.
00:13:31.160
Barkley in for back today on the Glenn Beck program.
00:13:39.620
You've heard me talking about MyPillow for years and how it's changed the way I sleep.
00:13:44.040
Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow, fitted me personally for my own MyPillow because I told him, I said, I don't think I really like him.
00:13:51.220
And he said, wait, I think you have the wrong one.
00:13:58.020
You can wash and dry it constantly and it stays the same amazing shape.
00:14:01.460
You fluff it once before you go to sleep and it's that way.
00:14:06.620
So you don't have to worry about, are they going to be MyPillows on the shelves?
00:14:10.620
Along with the lowest price offer, Mike is also extending his money back guarantee trial until March 1st of next year.
00:14:19.340
You can get the standard MyPillow for $19.98, originally $69.98.
00:14:23.820
A $50 savings and the king size pillow is $10 more.
00:14:27.520
Go and see all their rotating discounts over 150 MyPillow products.
00:14:39.320
All right, Barkley in for BECK today on the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:56.320
Yes, it does seem that piece by piece, in some ways, COVID is crumbling.
00:15:07.320
How could you possibly say that when, well, the U.S. just hit a record high in hospitalizations, deaths, remaining comparatively low?
00:15:29.120
Hospitalizations and deaths remain comparatively low.
00:15:34.340
It's very important that you get the entire headline.
00:15:37.320
And, in fact, you get the context of the full picture so that you can understand the story.
00:15:44.080
And a lot of times in today's clickbait world, you just click, click, click, click, click, and that's what these news organizations are looking for.
00:15:53.100
But at the same time, we have a responsibility to make sure that we give people all the information.
00:16:06.160
Although I will tell you, it's getting easier by the day to tell who those people are.
00:16:12.400
And, yes, hospitalizations and deaths remain comparatively low.
00:16:22.960
And they have been monkeying around with all these numbers and figures.
00:16:40.480
Talking about why, in fact, they moved the CDC guidelines the other day back to five days instead of ten for their quarantine.
00:16:49.980
In fact, this is a question in some places like Michigan where our Department of Health and Human Services has said,
00:17:03.280
Maybe we'll follow theirs a little later on down the road.
00:17:07.100
So they're not even going along with it yet here.
00:17:09.100
That's one of the problems, I think, the politics of all of this.
00:17:14.240
You're going to constantly see people who are, wait a minute.
00:17:22.920
But here's Fauci explaining it as only the good doctor can.
00:17:28.260
The purpose of it was is that given the wave, the extraordinary unprecedented wave of infections that we are experiencing now
00:17:37.040
and will certainly experience more of in the next few weeks,
00:17:42.080
that there is the danger that there will be so many people who are being isolated,
00:17:50.980
that you could have a major negative impact on our ability to keep society running.
00:18:02.040
This Omicron, or as I like to call it, the Comicron variant,
00:18:14.220
But the data we got coming out, I think it's very encouraging.
00:18:19.480
The data coming out of places like South Africa suggests that, you know,
00:18:25.060
hey, it might be more transmittable, but at the same time, it's not as deadly.
00:18:36.680
In fact, they have compared it to a cold in a lot of ways.
00:18:41.480
So the decision was made, although it's not completely risk-free,
00:18:45.980
of saying, let's get that cut in half so that we could have 50%,
00:18:51.980
namely half of the ten days, and 50% of that time,
00:18:56.500
people can actually be out with a mask in society.
00:19:04.140
Now, I know the comic, like I said, the Comicron,
00:19:16.220
Yeah, the new variant and the way it does affect,
00:19:25.700
They're starting to see, you see, flights still today.
00:19:30.680
We saw a bowl game canceled yesterday, just hours before they had to play.
00:19:35.540
It's not the actual COVID that's canceling these things.
00:19:40.620
It's the policies that they currently have in place.
00:19:47.660
he's just admitted that we can't keep the country running
00:19:59.040
for, you know, the election hopes of the Dems in 2022,
00:20:13.340
So, you know, if I change my mind, you know, the science changes.
00:20:25.760
He's also admitted some interesting things about these numbers.
00:20:29.460
Not just the numbers that we talked about here, but hospitalizations.
00:20:44.600
we're going to talk to the doctor who's blowing the whistle
00:21:08.860
maybe you've got someone you love in a hospital
00:21:46.960
The battle for our generation is taking place right now
00:21:55.320
Today, millions of kids are having their ideology
00:21:57.780
shaped by these soulless machines of both Hollywood
00:22:06.480
our kids are caught in a thick swamp of bad ideas.
00:22:15.800
And you don't get a better example of that for kids
00:22:19.940
The Tuttle Twins books are an exploration of all things
00:22:24.380
They teach an accurate history of the United States
00:22:30.100
And they will arm your children and grandchildren
00:22:40.280
They'll even throw in all their activity workbooks for free.
01:52:50.240
like lab coats have to say I believe they have an
