=== Stop Title Fraud Now (04:31) ===

[00:00:00]  Right now, somebody might be out there looking at your house thinking it looks exactly like something they'd like to have for themselves.
[00:00:06]  And the bad news is, these days, there are ways to make that happen.
[00:00:09]  If you happen to be a little savvy on the internet, which is why you need home title lock.
[00:00:15]  A home title lock can stop this.
[00:00:16]  Title fraud happens when a criminal forges your signature on documents stating that you sold your home to them.
[00:00:23]  Then he takes out loans against your home and leaves you with the payments.
[00:00:27]  Sounds like holiday fun, I know, but you're going to spend a fortune in legal fees trying to prove you didn't commit fraud.
[00:00:34]  Home title lock puts a barrier around your home's title.
[00:00:37]  The instant they detect a cyber thief or a renter or a relative trying to forge their way onto your home's title, they can help shut it down.
[00:00:46]  If you value your home and your peace of mind, the best thing you can do is get to hometitalock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim, and use the code radio for 30 risk-free days of protection.
[00:00:58]  The code is radio at home titlelock.com.
[00:01:01]  Hometitallock.com.
[00:01:02]  Code is radio.
[00:01:04]  We have the latest on the Omicron variant.
[00:01:09]  Omicron.
[00:01:10]  Oh, it sounds scary.
[00:01:12]  It's much better than new.
[00:01:16]  I think.
[00:01:16]  Or Z. Or Z.
[00:01:18]  The G variant would be the original one.
[00:01:20]  Yes.
[00:01:21]  list.
[00:01:51]  This is the Glenbeck program.
[00:01:56]  Oh, oh my, it's, it's black.
[00:02:00]  Is it Black Friday?
[00:02:02]  No, it is.
[00:02:03]  It's Monday, Black.
[00:02:04]  Cyber Monday.
[00:02:05]  It's Cyber Monday.
[00:02:06]  I love that.
[00:02:07]  Oh, I've been waiting.
[00:02:08]  I have my tree decorated for it.
[00:02:11]  I am so excited for Cyber Monday.
[00:02:14]  I don't know about you, but I just love it.
[00:02:18]  You know, the only bad thing about Cyber Monday is you don't get to beat somebody to death if they're standing in front of you with the deal that you wanted.
[00:02:29]  And I think, call me old-fashioned, but I kind of like the idea that the guy with the biggest club gets the cheapest TV.
[00:02:43]  The Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:45]  And by the way, the other drawback on Cyber Monday, you can't go in and steal something for $999 and get away with it.
[00:02:58]  What is this world coming to?
[00:02:59]  Don't you see what technology is doing to us?
[00:03:04]  No doubt your email box is bursting at the seams with Cyber Monday deals.
[00:03:08]  Are any of them prioritizing your home's beauty and the functionality of your home at an affordable cost?
[00:03:16]  I don't think so.
[00:03:18]  Blinds.com is having their Cyber Monday sale and it does exactly that.
[00:03:22]  Now is the time to order totally customized window treatments during blinds.com's best sale of the year.
[00:03:30]  They make it easy and affordable to make your home improvement.
[00:03:33]  You're going to enjoy it.
[00:03:34]  You're going to actually, and I strangely say this because I would never believe I would enjoy it.
[00:03:41]  I actually enjoyed the measuring and the ordering process because I really actually learned something.
[00:03:49]  I'm trying to, you know, when you take a measuring tape and you have to fold it, you know, at the corner and you're like, okay, I got to fold it here so you get an accurate measurement.
[00:04:00]  Did you know you didn't have to do that?
[00:04:03]  You know what I'm talking about?
[00:04:04]  You can actually lay the tape measure down and then pull the tape measure out to the other side of like the window.
[00:04:12]  And then you look at the bottom of the tape measure.
[00:04:15]  Is I'm not the only one that didn't know this?
[00:04:17]  Oh, good.
[00:04:18]  Thank you, Stu.
[00:04:19]  You look at the bottom of the tape measure and it tells you how many inches the tape measure is.
[00:04:26]  So you add that to, it's fantastic.
[00:04:30]  Now, what is a tape measure?

=== Measuring Without Folding (10:06) ===

[00:04:32]  Oh, my God.
[00:04:33]  Can you?
[00:04:35]  I'll explain it later.
[00:04:36]  I just learned about it myself.
[00:04:38]  Anyway, I learned that from the, because I was, I'm like, I'm trying to bet.
[00:04:41]  And she's, and this woman, she says, why don't you just lay the tape measure in?
[00:04:46]  And I'm like, because I don't know.
[00:04:48]  And she's like, have you checked on the bottom of it?
[00:04:50]  I thought that was the greatest thing ever.
[00:04:52]  Anyway, so you'll actually enjoy the experience.
[00:04:54]  You might learn something too.

[00:05:14]  Oh my goodness.
[00:05:15]  Omicron.
[00:05:18]  I think that should be a transformer.
[00:05:22]  And in a way, it is.
[00:05:26]  This is the transformation now of COVID-19.
[00:05:30]  It is so deadly, so deadly that, let me see if I can get this.
[00:05:35]  The Belgian, I think it's the Belgian prime minister says this should be called COVID-21.
[00:05:46]  So we should say that it was discovered in the year that it was discovered.
[00:05:51]  He says it's three times more infectious than the original virus.
[00:05:56]  So it should be instead of COVID-19 quoting, instead of COVID-19, it should be COVID-21.
[00:06:04]  2021, that's two.
[00:06:07]  Shouldn't it be 22?
[00:06:12]  I have no idea.
[00:06:13]  So anyway, the panic began just this weekend.
[00:06:19]  The World Medical Association chair demanding now national lockdowns and making sure that everyone is mandated all around the world.
[00:06:33]  He says the new South African variant is a good example of the mutations and us trying to prevent every possible infection and how it can't be done.
[00:06:46]  We don't know anything about its dangerousness yet, but it seems to be spreading rapidly.
[00:06:52]  Now, there's no fear-mongering in this following sentence.
[00:06:57]  Again, we don't know anything about its dangerousness, but it seems to be spreading rapidly.
[00:07:04]  My great concern is it could lead to a variant that is as infectious as Delta, but as dangerous as Ebola.
[00:07:17]  As dangerous as Ebola.
[00:07:18]  Ebola.
[00:07:19]  Wow.
[00:07:20]  It might have mutated a little faster than, you know, it's weird to go from like, you're sick and if you're old, you could die like from pneumonia kind of like thing to blood shooting out of every orifice of your body.
[00:07:38]  That's the danger of Omicron.
[00:07:39]  Omicron.
[00:07:40]  Yeah.
[00:07:41]  Okay.
[00:07:42]  So I don't, yeah, I don't think it's going to become Ebola.
[00:07:47]  Really?
[00:07:47]  Yeah.
[00:07:48]  You're going to come up and say that.
[00:07:49]  Come out and say that.
[00:07:50]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:07:52]  Now, here's the next, this is from CNN, their headline.
[00:07:56]  Omicron variant puts world in a race against time.
[00:08:02]  A race against time.
[00:08:04]  Huh.
[00:08:05]  Now, the biostatistician professor, Sheila Bird, said the test results from Amsterdam were concerning, but more data is needed.
[00:08:19]  Adding that the vaccination status and age distribution of those infected will also need to be considered before any conclusions could be made about this variant.
[00:08:29]  The situation should be seen with alert rather than alarm until we know more.
[00:08:36]  Okay, so that doesn't, that doesn't sound like Ebola, does it?
[00:08:40]  No.
[00:08:41]  Because he wouldn't really need a lot of time.
[00:08:45]  You know, yeah, the patients came in and they were bleeding out of their eyes and boils all over their body.
[00:08:55]  Give it more time.
[00:08:56]  Let's see what happens.
[00:08:57]  Let's see what happens.
[00:08:58]  I mean, yes, it's a little different than the normal cough and fever, but let's give it a couple weeks.
[00:09:03]  Okay, so now here is the South African doctor who was the one who kind of found this strain.
[00:09:09]  She was the first one to go, there's something else here.
[00:09:12]  This is different.
[00:09:14]  We've seen a lot of Delta patients during the third wave, and this one didn't fit the clinical picture.
[00:09:23]  Most patients we are seeing have very, very mild symptoms, and none of them so far have been admitted to the hospital.
[00:09:34]  We've been able to treat these patients conservatively at home.
[00:09:41]  Hmm.
[00:09:43]  Also, so far, patients have not reported a loss of smell or taste, and there has been no major drop in oxygen levels with the new variant.
[00:09:53]  The most prominent clinical complaint is severe fatigue for one or two days and a headache and body aches and pain.
[00:10:04]  My general normal stance is severe fatigue.
[00:10:08]  Like I just, that's just my normal life.
[00:10:10]  I wouldn't even notice this.
[00:10:12]  I wouldn't notice it.
[00:10:13]  I just want to go back to bed.
[00:10:14]  That's the way I start my day.
[00:10:17]  Yeah.
[00:10:18]  So again, just based on the woman who discovered the variant, that doesn't sound like Ebola.
[00:10:28]  No.
[00:10:29]  And doesn't sound like something we should worry about, really.
[00:10:33]  Yeah.
[00:10:33]  You know, my understanding is that most of the patients they've seen with it have been younger, right?
[00:10:38]  So.
[00:10:38]  Yeah, 40.
[00:10:39]  Yeah.
[00:10:39]  They say it's hitting people under 40.
[00:10:42]  Under 40.
[00:10:42]  Yeah.
[00:10:43]  But again, with severe fatigue.
[00:10:46]  Definitely not for one or two days.
[00:10:48]  Okay.
[00:10:48]  I mean, I don't think there's any other than one crazy person.
[00:10:53]  Right.
[00:10:53]  But the media, the tone of the media coverage feels like a race against time.
[00:10:58]  That is what it feels like.
[00:10:59]  Yeah, okay.
[00:10:59]  All right.
[00:11:00]  So here's the truth on this.
[00:11:03]  It was detected in Botswana and South Africa while we were having our turkey.
[00:11:09]  Since then, Canada, Germany, the UK, Hong Kong, Belgium, Singapore, and Holland all have had cases of Omicron.
[00:11:17]  No confirmed cases here in the United States.
[00:11:20]  It has been found now in more than a dozen nations.
[00:11:23]  Most contact tracing showing travel from South Africa as the most common source.
[00:11:29]  South Africa had had more than 200 confirmed cases as of yesterday.
[00:11:35]  The chairwoman of the South African Medical Association assured the media that while they're closely monitoring the situation, the good news is that to date, there have been no deaths from the new variant.
[00:11:48]  And quoting, most people have mild, very, very mild symptoms, end quote.
[00:11:59]  So we have the mutation.
[00:12:04]  The media wants you to panic over this.
[00:12:08]  There is no reason to panic over this.
[00:12:13]  However, New York has declared a state of emergency.
[00:12:22]  New York has declared a state of emergency despite not a single case being identified in the state.
[00:12:30]  Or the country yet, by the way.
[00:12:31]  Yes.
[00:12:32]  I mean, that'll probably happen soon.
[00:12:34]  Sure.
[00:12:35]  We don't have any in the country at this time.
[00:12:37]  We probably don't know about it because the symptoms are very, very mild.
[00:12:44]  The governor of California, Michigan, and New York have issued health alert warnings to public agencies, including schools, about the new variant of concern, despite the fact there's no evidence the new variant is more virulent or deadly.
[00:13:00]  Now, Stu, you're into this kind of stuff.
[00:13:05]  You're into stats.
[00:13:06]  Sure.
[00:13:06]  You're into science.
[00:13:08]  This show is known for its scientific breakthroughs.
[00:13:13]  Yes, mostly our 44-part series.
[00:13:17]  Right.
[00:13:17]  On science in general.
[00:13:19]  On science in general.
[00:13:20]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:13:21]  And I'm a doctor.
[00:13:22]  So let me ask you this.
[00:13:25]  And feel free to talk down to me.
[00:13:27]  Okay.
[00:13:28]  Pretend I don't know.
[00:13:31]  But when you have a virus like COVID, what is the virus's goal?
[00:13:40]  To find a new host, to replicate it.
[00:13:43]  Find a new host, right?
[00:13:44]  What stops a virus from finding a new host?
[00:13:52]  Well, not being no pathway to transmit.
[00:13:57]  Okay.
[00:13:57]  All right.
[00:13:58]  Or the host dies.
[00:14:01]  Okay.
[00:14:02]  The host dies.
[00:14:05]  When the host dies, the virus dies.
[00:14:08]  Unless somebody's like, hey, let's play with grandpa's dead body.
[00:14:12]  Right.
[00:14:13]  Okay.
[00:14:13]  Which does happen in the movies often.
[00:14:15]  All the time.
[00:14:16]  All the time.
[00:14:17]  Especially in California and New York and Michigan.
[00:14:21]  So if the virus acts like, oh, I don't know, every other virus known to man, the virus looks for a way to spread faster, but be less deadly.

=== Why Viruses Must Spread (02:47) ===

[00:14:39]  Correct?
[00:14:39]  Usually this is what happens.
[00:14:41]  Yeah.
[00:14:41]  Yeah.
[00:14:41]  In almost all circumstances with a virus, almost, it generally speaking becomes less deadly, more virulent, because that's in the best interest of the virus.
[00:14:57]  Usually that's what happens.
[00:14:59]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:14:59]  Okay.
[00:15:00]  All right.
[00:15:00]  So let me ask you this.
[00:15:01]  And this is, by the way, why, despite the eye bleeding, Ebola has only killed 11,000 people since the beginning of time.
[00:15:11]  Yes.
[00:15:11]  And all generally in a little area.
[00:15:14]  Very little area.
[00:15:14]  It's very hard to continue the transmission lines because it tends to kill most of the people.
[00:15:21]  It kills everybody quickly.
[00:15:23]  And then people are like, hey, I haven't heard from Uncle Bob in a while.
[00:15:27]  I haven't heard from Aunt Helen either.
[00:15:30]  Maybe we should get on these space suits and go see what happened to the village.
[00:15:35]  Right.
[00:15:36]  Okay.
[00:15:36]  It doesn't spread because it kills people so quickly.
[00:15:40]  And there's tons of Aunt Helens in these villages.
[00:15:42]  That's one thing you need to know.
[00:15:44]  Tons, tons.
[00:15:44]  They're almost all named Helens.
[00:15:46]  So with that understanding, I have a very important question.
[00:15:50]  Yes.
[00:15:51]  Okay.
[00:15:52]  Let me give it to you in 60 seconds.
[00:15:55]  There are those who lead and those who follow.
[00:15:58]  And when it's time for you to buy or sell a house, especially in this housing market, the type of person you need as a real estate agent is the former, not the latter.
[00:16:08]  You need a leader.
[00:16:10]  A number of years ago, I got fed up with the follower types and I kind of felt like a follower because I didn't know, I don't know how to get a good real estate agent.
[00:16:20]  I mean, you know, you just find one in the phone book and you call them or you, you know, you look at the sign and you're like, oh, that person looks like they're qualified.
[00:16:30]  How do you find a good real estate agent?
[00:16:32]  How do you know?
[00:16:34]  Well, I was doing work with about 500 of the best real estate agents in the country, and that's according to the Wall Street Journal.
[00:16:42]  And I asked them that question.
[00:16:45]  There actually is a formula.
[00:16:47]  There is something that the right real estate agent, the good real estate agents, all do.
[00:16:53]  So we put that formula together and we started looking for real estate agents and pass them on to you now as a free service to you.

=== Mild Symptoms vs. Overreaction (05:37) ===

[00:17:26]  Okay.
[00:17:27]  All right.
[00:17:28]  Okay.
[00:17:30]  So they don't want us to question this science at all because questioning Fauci is questioning science.
[00:17:39]  He actually said that again this weekend.
[00:17:41]  I know.
[00:17:42]  This is his defense.
[00:17:43]  He's just science.
[00:17:46]  Voice of science.
[00:17:48]  Voice of science.
[00:17:52]  So anyway, they don't want you to question anything.
[00:17:56]  Well, I have a couple of questions.
[00:17:59]  Let's start with a pessimistic one.
[00:18:03]  Knowing how viruses generally mutate, They generally mutate like the Spanish flu did and become less deadly, more virulent.
[00:18:18]  In seeing how everybody in the government and science and the WHO and the UN held an emergency meeting over the weekend, an emergency meeting for something that the person who discovered this variant said it's causing very, very mild symptoms.
[00:18:43]  So let me ask you this.
[00:18:46]  Pessimistic side.
[00:18:48]  Do you know something that I don't know?
[00:18:53]  As the UN and the WHO and Fauci, do you know, like, for instance, where this virus originally came from?
[00:19:06]  And do you know maybe that it was messed around with man?
[00:19:10]  And so this would react differently than your average virus?
[00:19:15]  Do you know something about the makeup of this virus that you're not telling us that makes you go, good God, man, it came out of our lab.
[00:19:26]  We know what it's going to mutate into.
[00:19:28]  It's very pessimistic.
[00:19:30]  Very pessimistic, right?
[00:19:32]  Or, and this is the not so pessimistic.
[00:19:37]  Okay.
[00:19:38]  Or are you just causing all of this fear so you can stay in control of everything?
[00:19:50]  None of these seem optimistic.
[00:19:52]  That's as optimistic as I can get.
[00:19:55]  I mean, I think you could argue, right?
[00:19:58]  Okay, okay.
[00:19:59]  Because they have hyped how many of these things?
[00:20:01]  I mean, all of them?
[00:20:02]  All of them, right?
[00:20:02]  They've all been hyped.
[00:20:04]  The overwhelming majority of them you probably never read a story about, right?
[00:20:08]  Like the Epsilon variant was maybe a kicker story for two days, right?
[00:20:13]  The one that I freaked out.
[00:20:15]  I locked myself in for two days.
[00:20:17]  Again, but the media didn't even freak out.
[00:20:19]  There were some of that, right?
[00:20:21]  And we mocked it at the time.
[00:20:23]  They are reacting differently than they have to other variants.
[00:20:25]  Now, the best case scenario, I think, here is that when they had a serious variant last time, which was Delta, and it ravaged India and killed up to multiple millions of people, we didn't really do anything, right?
[00:20:41]  So maybe they're just overreacting and overly concerned.
[00:20:45]  This would be, I think, the optimistic take here.
[00:20:48]  Okay, I've got another optimistic take.
[00:20:51]  Or.
[00:20:52]  The people that are in charge are so freaking racist that when they see something come from Africa, they immediately go, Ebola.
[00:21:04]  They immediately go, it's bad.
[00:21:06]  It's narcotic.
[00:21:07]  It's coming from the jungles of Africa.
[00:21:10]  The others have brought it to us.
[00:21:11]  Others have brought it to us.
[00:21:13]  There is that possibility.
[00:21:14]  And I was just so racist that they immediately go, it's going to be a killer.
[00:21:20]  And that's kind of Africa's take, by the way.
[00:21:22]  They're like, you guys are just punishing us for finding this thing.
[00:21:25]  Like, why are you doing this?
[00:21:27]  We shouldn't have even told you about it.
[00:21:29]  You wouldn't even have known about it for a long time.
[00:21:33]  Why are you doing this?
[00:21:34]  Yeah.
[00:21:35]  Because they're saying very, very mild symptoms.
[00:21:38]  Very, very mild.
[00:21:40]  Why are you doing this?
[00:21:41]  So, and it's a fair question, though we do, of course, maintain the rights to our own borders.
[00:21:47]  Yeah, of course.
[00:21:48]  Now, at least that's what I thought.
[00:21:49]  However, the Biden administration.
[00:21:51]  May I put another log on the, maybe they're all racists.
[00:21:56]  Okay.
[00:21:56]  Okay.
[00:21:56]  Sure.
[00:21:56]  Let me throw another log on that fire.
[00:21:59]  Because I'm only using their words.
[00:22:02]  When Donald Trump, after all kinds of people died, all kinds of evidence.
[00:22:09]  This is really scary.
[00:22:11]  Yeah.
[00:22:12]  He said travel ban and Joe Biden said that's racist.
[00:22:16]  Right.
[00:22:17]  There's no evidence that this is anything other than very, very mild symptoms.
[00:22:26]  And yet we have a travel ban.
[00:22:29]  Yeah.
[00:22:29]  That you'd think that the person who said the first one was racist would think this is even more racist.
[00:22:34]  Yeah, especially that it came from Africa.
[00:22:36]  Right.
[00:22:37]  What is it you're afraid of, Joe Biden?
[00:22:39]  You know what?
[00:22:40]  You know what?
[00:22:41]  This lockdown is nothing than a racist dog whistle that these liberals in this administration are blowing at the top of their lungs.
[00:22:58]  This is the Glenbach program.
[00:23:00]  I hate to say that, too.
[00:23:02]  It gives me no pleasure at all.

=== Car Shield Saves Connecticut Winter (05:11) ===

[00:23:04]  Winter can really put a freeze on your finances when it comes to expensive car repairs.
[00:23:09]  You don't want to have to deal with a broken heater or get stuck somewhere this time of year because your car broke down.
[00:23:15]  The good news is taking care of a covered repair with Car Shield's administrators, really simple.
[00:23:20]  They handle the paperwork and expensive payments, so you don't have to.
[00:23:24]  Car Shield could help you save thousands.
[00:23:27]  I know because Car Shield has done that for me a couple of times.
[00:23:31]  The biggest one, I think, was $6,000 car repair.
[00:23:35]  And I looked at the guy when I walked in and I'm like, you should have called me before that.
[00:23:40]  And he said, well, we called Car Shield and they covered it.
[00:23:44]  I was like, oh, yeah, of course.
[00:23:49]  Get out of here before they figure it out.
[00:23:51]  Car Shield.
[00:23:53]  It is a great blessing when you need it.
[00:23:56]  The best defense against costly repairs that could put you into a deep freeze with your car and your finances.

[00:24:19]  the code glenn20 for 20 off welcome to the glenn beck program I can't tell you how glad I am to be back here in the studio in the great state of Texas being able to broadcast.
[00:24:40]  And I only say that because I spent a week up in Connecticut.
[00:24:44]  Holy mother, what are you thinking?
[00:24:47]  Move.
[00:24:49]  What are you thinking?
[00:24:50]  Now, I used to live in Connecticut, so I get it.
[00:24:55]  You know, I guess you just feel like it's not so bad.
[00:24:59]  It is.
[00:24:59]  It is.
[00:25:00]  Yeah.
[00:25:00]  A lot of this has to be, you have to understand the relative aspect of the rest of life.
[00:25:06]  Yeah.
[00:25:06]  I thought about this when I, because I also, I grew up in Connecticut.
[00:25:09]  Right.
[00:25:10]  And I don't think I ever was in love with Connecticut as a place, mainly because I don't like cold weather.
[00:25:15]  Right.
[00:25:15]  So, but you don't really realize until you leave.
[00:25:18]  It's a dumpy.
[00:25:20]  No, it is.
[00:25:21]  It's a dumpy.
[00:25:22]  It's funny because like that, the way it's presented on television is there's like these nice rolling hills and these beautiful homes.
[00:25:29]  And there's certainly areas of it that are nice.
[00:25:31]  But generally speaking, everything's old.
[00:25:34]  Nothing's wide enough for the American male of 2021.
[00:25:38]  No.
[00:25:39]  It's all too small.
[00:25:40]  It's all falling apart.
[00:25:42]  Yeah.
[00:25:43]  And it's, we're supposed to go, oh, but that's charming.
[00:25:46]  The charming scrap.
[00:25:48]  Yeah.
[00:25:49]  As it always does.
[00:25:50]  It does.
[00:25:51]  Oh, this is a charming house.
[00:25:53]  What's wrong with it?
[00:25:55]  That's what you have to say.
[00:25:56]  What's wrong with it?
[00:25:58]  No, it's charming.
[00:25:59]  Did you buy a charming house in Connecticut at one time?
[00:26:01]  I did.
[00:26:02]  I did.
[00:26:02]  I bought this charming little farmhouse from 1823.
[00:26:08]  Oh, my gosh.
[00:26:09]  Little old me from the west.
[00:26:11]  Oh, an old house.
[00:26:12]  Where I grew up, 1920 was old.
[00:26:16]  Okay.
[00:26:17]  And so I'm like, wow, 1820, this is charming.
[00:26:21]  You know, it's got a little work to do, but how bad could it be?
[00:26:25]  That bad.
[00:26:26]  It can be that bad.
[00:26:28]  Don't do it.
[00:26:29]  Now, the state of Connecticut should be described as charming, which should tell you, get out.
[00:26:40]  Get out.
[00:26:41]  And by the way.
[00:26:42]  Well, but you want to pay.
[00:26:43]  I don't want you to leave before you pay your high taxes.
[00:26:46]  You want to make sure you get those high taxes paid first.
[00:26:48]  Yeah.
[00:26:48]  Because that's one of the charming parts of Connecticut.
[00:26:50]  Well, that and all of the businesses that have been closed, you know, all the factories that are just like, nobody's in that factory for the last 10 years.
[00:26:59]  Wonder why.
[00:27:00]  That's not a COVID thing.
[00:27:02]  Yeah.
[00:27:02]  That's not a COVID closing.
[00:27:03]  That's just a band in the area.
[00:27:06]  Yeah, that's not a bug of Connecticut.
[00:27:08]  That's a feature of Connecticut.
[00:27:10]  You cannot run a business there.
[00:27:12]  Now, which leads me to another discovery.
[00:27:17]  And I don't say this just about Connecticut, but mainly about people from the East.
[00:27:27]  They're the rudest SOBs I've ever encountered.
[00:27:32]  There's very few places that are that rude.
[00:27:35]  Well, that is sort of a feature up in North Carolina.
[00:27:38]  Is that a bug?
[00:27:38]  Think of you walk into a New York deli.
[00:27:41]  New York delivers.
[00:27:42]  They are nice.
[00:27:43]  New York deliberates.
[00:27:44]  Delis are nice.
[00:27:45]  They are.
[00:27:46]  No, they're famous for, you know, what do you want?
[00:27:49]  You know, like, it's not, there's not like some.
[00:27:53]  Yeah, but the difference is they're just, they're like, what do you want?
[00:27:57]  Where if you go down south, they're like, wow, you are just, bless your heart.
[00:28:02]  They're saying the same thing.
[00:28:04]  They are saying the same thing.
[00:28:05]  Okay, so I'd rather have somebody just come out and say, okay.
[00:28:08]  Okay.
[00:28:10]  However, well, let me give you a story.

=== The Pie Shop Story (09:56) ===

[00:28:15]  So my aunt, who I don't, she's older than I am, and let's just leave it at that.
[00:28:23]  She's a sweet, sweet woman.
[00:28:26]  Okay.
[00:28:27]  And my uncle, Uncle Ed, is the same.
[00:28:31]  He's a business owner.
[00:28:32]  He's been in business forever.
[00:28:33]  He's quiet.
[00:28:34]  He's just a real, they're solid people.
[00:28:37]  Okay.
[00:28:37]  And they're very loyal, especially to local businesses.
[00:28:41]  So they go into this place, Droggy and Sons.
[00:28:45]  It's in Glastonbury, South Glastonbury.
[00:28:48]  And my aunt has bought pies there for years.
[00:28:51]  She brings the pies.
[00:28:54]  I see my aunt and uncle, you know, on holidays.
[00:28:57]  She brings these great pies.
[00:29:01]  So she goes into this place because she's coming down for Thanksgiving.
[00:29:05]  She goes into this place that she's gone for years.
[00:29:09]  And she said, can I get a, I think she said a maple apple walnut pie, please.
[00:29:19]  Lady behind the counter said, I don't know if we have any of those.
[00:29:22]  Let me go check.
[00:29:24]  So she goes back and checks.
[00:29:25]  And all of a sudden, this woman, who is, we find out later, the pie buyer, don't mess with her.
[00:29:33]  She comes barreling out of the refrigerator and she looks at my aunt.
[00:29:38]  She said, we don't carry those.
[00:29:40]  Those are carried by the farm place down the street.
[00:29:45]  And my aunt was like, Okay, well, I don't know because I've never been there.
[00:29:49]  Yes, you have.
[00:29:49]  That's where you buy those pies.
[00:29:52]  No, I buy my pies here every year.
[00:29:56]  Right.
[00:29:56]  Well, you do not.
[00:29:58]  You're mistaken because they sell the maple apple walnut down at that store and we've never carried them.
[00:30:10]  Okay, well, I've only bought my apple pies here.
[00:30:16]  So the lady says, you're wrong.
[00:30:21]  Okay.
[00:30:22]  She's like, she didn't know where to go with that.
[00:30:24]  She's like, no, I know I only buy my pies here.
[00:30:28]  This goes on for a while.
[00:30:30]  The lady just is like, she is angry at my aunt for some reason.
[00:30:37]  And either that or it's her natural charm, which later I find out it is.
[00:30:43]  She is standing there and she's accusing my aunt of lying, of betraying this pie place where she's always been, you don't even know where you buy your pies.
[00:30:55]  And so the lady behind the counter said, you know, we do have a, what was it, a caramel apple walnut.
[00:31:07]  And my aunt looks at the lady behind the counter.
[00:31:09]  She's like, oh yeah, that's what it was.
[00:31:13]  The pie buying lady looks at my aunt and said, I told you we didn't sell those.
[00:31:19]  You were buying them from down there.
[00:31:21]  She said, no, that's the pie.
[00:31:23]  I made a mistake.
[00:31:25]  I said maple instead of caramel.
[00:31:28]  And she was like, well, we don't make the maple apple walnut pie.
[00:31:33]  She's like, I got it.
[00:31:34]  I got it.
[00:31:36]  She was so, and she just was so demeaning to my aunt.
[00:31:40]  The lady behind the counter said, do you want the caramel apple?
[00:31:44]  And she said, she looked at the other lady and said, no, I think I'm going to go down the street and buy that pie.
[00:31:51]  Right.
[00:31:52]  And the lady said, I told you you bought your pies there.
[00:31:56]  My aunt just turned around.
[00:31:58]  I know, weird, right?
[00:32:00]  My aunt just turns around and the lady goes, bitch.
[00:32:04]  Oh, my God.
[00:32:05]  Now, this is my sweet aunt Linda, but she's also Italian.
[00:32:12]  You don't want to say, she turned around.
[00:32:15]  She said, what did you just call me?
[00:32:18]  She looked her in the eye and said, bitch.
[00:32:22]  Oh my God.
[00:32:23]  Tanya, because she's in a Beth Dutton state of mind lately, would have crawled over the counter.
[00:32:32]  My aunt Linda just left.
[00:32:33]  She calls her husband.
[00:32:36]  When she gets home, they talk about it and he's just this really, you know, I mean, she is too, but he's really calm and collected.
[00:32:44]  So he's, I'm just going to call the owner.
[00:32:46]  So he calls the owner and he said, look, I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but you should just know how a customer of yours was treated.
[00:32:56]  Yeah.
[00:32:56]  I mean, that's right, right.
[00:32:59]  It's absolutely unacceptable for anyone to be treated, even if they are being rude, which does not seem to be the case here.
[00:33:06]  No, it wasn't.
[00:33:06]  No.
[00:33:07]  So he's talking to the owner again of Droggy and Sons Farm Stand in South Glastonbury, where they do not carry all kinds of apple pies.
[00:33:22]  Don't get it wrong.
[00:33:24]  So he calls the guy up and he says, look, I know I'm a small businessman and I know you're in the middle of your season.
[00:33:31]  And I also know what it's like to get an employee right now, but you should know after the holidays, maybe, you know, some disciplinary action here.
[00:33:43]  And the guy goes, uh-huh.
[00:33:45]  Well, I'm sorry.
[00:33:48]  And my uncle Ed says, oh, okay.
[00:33:54]  Yeah.
[00:33:54]  Well, what?
[00:33:57]  I'm sorry.
[00:34:00]  Okay.
[00:34:01]  And hangs up the phone.
[00:34:03]  And he's telling me this.
[00:34:05]  He's telling me this at the table.
[00:34:06]  And I'm like, have we lost our minds?
[00:34:11]  Have we really gotten to a point where business people don't even know that the customer is always right?
[00:34:17]  Now, when I said that at the table, my son and daughter said, customer is not always right, Dad.
[00:34:22]  And I said, no, in business, you just put up with it.
[00:34:28]  You just put up with it.
[00:34:29]  Traditionally, that's the way you handle it.
[00:34:30]  Correct.
[00:34:31]  You just let it go.
[00:34:33]  Certainly a customer that's been going there for multiple decades to try to understand maybe what she was lying about where she gets her pies.
[00:34:42]  That's true.
[00:34:44]  And I thought, this is typical Northeast stuff.
[00:34:48]  This is typical Northeast, but I think it's starting to happen all over the country.
[00:34:53]  Yeah, it probably is.
[00:34:54]  I mean, certainly a lot of employees now, you see horror stories from business owners all the time that are trying to hire people and they'll just be like, yeah, if you're not going to give me a $5,000 bonus to start, you know, I'm not coming.
[00:35:05]  You know, there's this entitlement of the employee.
[00:35:09]  They think they can do it as much.
[00:35:10]  As much as they want.
[00:35:11]  And, you know, like, I think there should be a balance, right?
[00:35:14]  It shouldn't just be like the business owner rolling over their employees.
[00:35:18]  Nobody wants that.
[00:35:18]  But the opposite is also ridiculous.
[00:35:20]  But I will tell you, though, I mean, my son just got a job and he went in for his interview and he comes home and I said, how'd your interview go?
[00:35:28]  And he said, well, I got the job.
[00:35:30]  And I said, great.
[00:35:31]  How did the interview go?
[00:35:33]  Because I was going to go over it with him.
[00:35:35]  And he said, they called me in and said, your name's Rafe?
[00:35:42]  Yes.
[00:35:43]  Do you have a social security card?
[00:35:45]  Yeah, but I don't have it with me.
[00:35:46]  Good.
[00:35:47]  Bring it in tomorrow.
[00:35:48]  You're hired.
[00:35:48]  That was sad.
[00:35:50]  I mean, that is how desperate people are for workers.
[00:35:53]  Yeah, you weren't here last week.
[00:35:55]  Pat and I did the show, but Pat was telling a story.
[00:35:57]  He went to Taco Bell.
[00:35:59]  Not really a completely crazy story from Pat or myself to go to Taco Bell.
[00:36:05]  Correct.
[00:36:05]  And he went to Taco Bell and there was a sign on the door that said, now hiring, work today, get paid today, same day payment now.
[00:36:14]  Oh, my gosh.
[00:36:15]  So like they're now just come in.
[00:36:18]  Look, come in today.
[00:36:20]  You will start today and we will pay you today.
[00:36:23]  Please come in to give nacho fries out.
[00:36:25]  Okay, people.
[00:36:25]  So I, let's say I had been at a Taco Bell recently as well.
[00:36:31]  You?
[00:36:31]  I know.
[00:36:32]  I know.
[00:36:33]  I saw something I couldn't believe and it was written, you know, like somebody took a marker to the hiring now thing and it said $250 referral fee and they had cut it out.
[00:36:48]  They had X'd it out and put $1,000 referral fee.
[00:36:53]  And I'm like, how long does somebody have to work at Taco Bell for Taco Bell to go, that's worth $1,000?
[00:37:03]  That's incredible.
[00:37:04]  I mean, this is literally, if you are out there looking for a job, you are in the middle of the best job market we will ever see.
[00:37:10]  And you will be able to get in the ground floor.
[00:37:13]  You will be known as the essential worker.
[00:37:17]  You'll be running the dump.
[00:37:19]  You'll be the one coming out of the pie refrigerator going, listen, Broad.
[00:37:29]  All right.
[00:37:30]  Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
[00:37:32]  We need to stick together now more than ever.
[00:37:35]  And there's one mobile company that you should stand with because they're standing with you.
[00:37:41]  They stand in defense of free speech, liberty, for religious freedom.
[00:37:46]  This is a patriotic country or company that believes in our country and believes in the same things that you do.
[00:37:53]  And then they go a step further.
[00:37:55]  They actually apply it to their lives and what they contribute to.
[00:38:00]  They're on the leading edge as donations to many, many causes that you have near and dear to your heart, Second Amendment being one of them.

[00:38:43]  The Glenn Beck program.
[00:38:49]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:38:51]  Stu, I think we have one of your heroes on.
[00:38:56]  Matt Ridley is on this.
[00:38:57]  Yeah, I love Matt Ridley.
[00:38:58]  He's a very great author or a very important mind, I think.
[00:39:04]  He looks at things in a bit of a skeptical way and sometimes gets attacked for that.
[00:39:10]  But he's also very British.
[00:39:12]  So even if he's wrong, it sounds right.
[00:39:16]  Oh, yes, that's very true.
[00:39:19]  Even if he's saying the dumbest thing he could possibly say, he'll sound smart saying it.
[00:39:22]  I wonder if the English think no matter what we say, we sound dumb.
[00:39:29]  That's a good point.
[00:39:29]  I don't know.
[00:39:30]  Yeah.
[00:39:31]  That's a good question.
[00:39:32]  Maybe Matt can answer it.
[00:39:33]  Yeah, well, I mean, we'll ask him the COVID stuff first.
[00:39:35]  Yeah, sure.
[00:39:36]  He has a book out called Viral, which is about the origins of COVID.
[00:39:41]  Have you read it?
[00:39:42]  I haven't read it yet.
[00:39:43]  No, I'm going to read it here very soon.
[00:39:46]  Because I read basically all of his stuff when it comes out.
[00:39:49]  So I'm excited to read it.
[00:39:51]  Can I bring up one other thing, too, before we get to Matt?
[00:39:54]  This is sort of branching off your last point.
[00:39:56]  And this is going to sound bad, especially to our northern blue state audience, which is a very large blue state audience.
[00:40:04]  Most of them want to escape.
[00:40:06]  Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:40:07]  But they're the ones looking at prison time.
[00:40:11]  I was looking at the announcement from New York.
[00:40:14]  They've gone into a state of emergency.
[00:40:15]  Yeah.
[00:40:16]  And they over the Omicron variant.
[00:40:18]  Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:40:19]  And I thought to myself, this is the first time I think I've really had this thought.
[00:40:22]  I remember many times, and we've had these people on.
[00:40:25]  I own a small business.
[00:40:26]  They've shut me down.
[00:40:28]  And I work here and they're making me wear a mask and all this stuff.
[00:40:32]  And I've always felt really bad for the people in those situations.
[00:40:35]  For the first time, I was like, you know, it's been two years.
[00:40:38]  It's time to get out.
[00:40:40]  If you're staying in New York at this point, maybe part of you wants this.
[00:40:47]  Could I just frame what he just said in this way?
[00:40:50]  Yes.
[00:40:51]  Back in the old days in the 1930s, Jewish people were saying that to other Jewish people in Germany.
[00:41:02]  What's wrong with you?
[00:41:03]  You can't see the writing.
[00:41:05]  Get out.
[00:41:06]  Get out.
[00:41:07]  Was that too strong?
[00:41:09]  It's shocking that we ended there.
[00:41:10]  I mean, I'm really stunned.
[00:41:15]  This is the Glenbach Program.

[00:42:42]  A skeptic, but a guy who really lets science take the lead and the origins of COVID.
[00:42:50]  next with Matt Ridley.
[00:43:29]  Omicron.
[00:43:31]  Sounds like a transformer, but I think it was the Prime Minister of Belgium said he's really very worried that this could be, this could be a new Ebola.
[00:43:45]  What?
[00:43:47]  Shut up.
[00:43:49]  The people who discovered it in South Africa, the woman who said, I treated like 20 patients and they all came in with the same symptoms.
[00:43:58]  And I thought, maybe this is something different.
[00:44:01]  Maybe it's not.
[00:44:02]  We don't know yet.
[00:44:04]  But she said, everybody's coming in.
[00:44:05]  We've been able to treat not in the hospital.
[00:44:08]  The O2 level doesn't go down, and quote, very, very mild symptoms.
[00:44:17]  And yet, the United Nations had an emergency meeting for this?
[00:44:24]  We wanted to talk to Matt Ridley today.
[00:44:26]  He is the author of Viral.

[00:46:35]  How are you?
[00:46:35]  I'm good.
[00:46:36]  I'm good.
[00:46:37]  So, Matt, I want to talk about the book, but can we lead here with the Omicron variant?

=== September Lab Leak Theory (15:07) ===

[00:46:45]  We know very little about it, and I want to make sure I understand the way viruses generally work.
[00:46:55]  They don't want to kill the host because then they die.
[00:46:59]  So they generally become less virulent, more transmissible.
[00:47:05]  Correct?
[00:47:07]  Well, correct for respiratory viruses, yes.
[00:47:11]  There are 200 kinds of virus that cause the common cold, coronaviruses, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, and none of them kill the host, at least very, very, very rarely.
[00:47:22]  And that's not true of sexually transmitted viruses, insect-transmitted viruses, and some waterborne diseases, one or two others.
[00:47:31]  So the key is anything spread by sneezes, you know, and coughs does not want you even to feel sick because then you'll stay at home and you won't go and meet people and you won't spread it.
[00:47:42]  Now, when I say want to, I'm using a kind of shorthand there.
[00:47:45]  Yeah, I know.
[00:47:47]  The mild strains outcompete the tough strains.
[00:47:49]  And this is already happening.
[00:47:51]  With Delta, the latest version of Delta is definitely milder than the first version of Delta.
[00:47:56]  And probably Delta was milder than Alpha.
[00:48:00]  We haven't got good enough data to be absolutely sure.
[00:48:03]  So the fact that they're more transmissible, these new variants, is not the same as saying they're more virulent.
[00:48:08]  In fact, they're usually less virulent.
[00:48:11]  And, you know, this thing is going to evolve into a mild endemic cold, I suspect, over time.
[00:48:19]  It could well be that Omicron is a very good thing if that's the case.
[00:48:23]  If it's very transmissible, it's going to oust the Delta.
[00:48:26]  It's going to kill off Delta.
[00:48:28]  But it's going to do so in a way that replaces it with a much milder version, if these early reports from South Africa about it being very mild turn out to be true.
[00:48:37]  We can't be absolutely certain yet because it might just be in young people where COVID is pretty mild anyway.
[00:48:47]  Why is everybody freaking out around the world?
[00:48:49]  Why are we closing everything down?
[00:48:53]  The UN had a national security council meeting about this.
[00:49:01]  Why?
[00:49:02]  Well, the UN had a meeting in a panic because they realized that they'd got to mu in the Greek alphabet.
[00:49:11]  And the next one was Nu, which didn't quite make sense because everybody would think it was just the new variant.
[00:49:16]  The one after that was Xi, Xi, which is the same name as the president of China.
[00:49:22]  So they thought, let's leave out Nu and G, and let's just go straight to Omicron, which is the next letter, because we don't want to offend the Chinese.
[00:49:30]  And that's fair enough.
[00:49:31]  It was kind of provocative otherwise.
[00:49:33]  But the funny thing is they didn't admit it.
[00:49:36]  They gave no reason for this jumping to Omicron.
[00:49:40]  They eventually admitted it under questioning.
[00:49:43]  But why not just say so?
[00:49:45]  Why not say we didn't want to offend the Chinese?
[00:49:46]  We didn't want to call it the Xi Jinping virus.
[00:49:53]  Anyway, why is everyone freaking out?
[00:49:56]  Because of what happened with Delta.
[00:49:58]  Delta came out of India in the spring and it or sorry, the end of last year, and it surged throughout the world.
[00:50:06]  It sent countries back into lockdown.
[00:50:08]  It caused a lot more hospitalizations and it broke through the vaccines.
[00:50:13]  It turned out to be transmissible by people who'd been vaccinated, although not nearly as dangerous to them.
[00:50:20]  And I think countries were quite slow to close flights from India.
[00:50:24]  They got a lot of criticism for that.
[00:50:26]  It wouldn't have made any difference.
[00:50:27]  This thing was going to be around the world, whatever we did to flights, I suspect, because you can't seal countries off these days.
[00:50:37]  But I think politicians wanted to be seen to be doing something fast.
[00:50:41]  But it was tough on the South Africans because they were doing really good work identifying these variants.
[00:50:49]  They've got good molecular surveillance going on.
[00:50:52]  And they put their hand up in a very transparent way and said, look, we found a new one.
[00:50:56]  It's got a lot of mutations in it.
[00:50:58]  It probably is very transmissible.
[00:51:00]  It might even be less protected by the virus.
[00:51:07]  And it might be less virulent as well.
[00:51:09]  And by the vaccine, I meant.
[00:51:13]  And then they get punished by shutting down travel, cutting off tourism and so on.
[00:51:18]  And it turns out it's already in Britain and a number of other European countries already.
[00:51:22]  So, you know, I think that the chances are we ought to reopen flights to Southern Africa.
[00:51:29]  We're not going to stop it that way.
[00:51:31]  I doubt that if it's as infectious as they say, that more mandates on masks will make much difference.
[00:51:38]  Better surveillance, faster booster programs.
[00:51:40]  That's how we're going to defeat it.
[00:51:43]  And it may be, as I say, that it ends up being a good thing if it displaces Delta with a mild aversion.
[00:51:49]  Okay.
[00:51:50]  So in your book, Viral, set this up.
[00:51:54]  You and another scientist get together in a town.
[00:52:00]  Yeah, and you want to find out how did this whole thing start?
[00:52:07]  What is it?
[00:52:08]  Where did it come from?
[00:52:09]  And you want to just nail down some basic details.
[00:52:15]  What did you find?
[00:52:16]  Yeah.
[00:52:18]  Well, what we found was that the more we looked, the harder it got to explain how it got to the city of Wuhan in particular by natural means, and the easier it got to come up with an explanation of how it got there in the hands of scientists.
[00:52:34]  Because if it was like SARS, we'd have a pattern of infection in food handlers.
[00:52:40]  We'd have a pattern of infected animals being sold in markets.
[00:52:44]  None of that came to light.
[00:52:46]  It should have come to light in the first couple of months.
[00:52:50]  Here we are two years into the pandemic, and we haven't got any such pattern that would support it.
[00:52:55]  And recently you've had a paper published with a lot of rasmatos saying we found patient, the first index patient, patient zero.
[00:53:04]  It was infected in the middle of December.
[00:53:07]  She was a shrimp seller in the market who was infected about a month after the thing got started.
[00:53:13]  And there's no evidence she picked it up from her shrimps.
[00:53:16]  So this was a strange exaggeration of an interesting little bit of work they'd done on some of the early colours.
[00:53:26]  I found it odd that Fauci brings this up and says that, no, no, no, it was from the wet market.
[00:53:36]  I mean, everything that I have read shows it's definitely not from the wet market.
[00:53:42]  They tested everything.
[00:53:44]  Well, the Chinese authorities said it's not from the wet market.
[00:53:47]  Now, we know better than to trust the Chinese authorities, so we don't necessarily believe that.
[00:53:52]  But they did test animals in that market and they found no infected animals.
[00:53:59]  Now, they might have missed one, of course, it's true, but they tested the surfaces, the sewage, the doorknobs, the countertops, et cetera, in the market, and they did find the virus.
[00:54:09]  But the one they found was not the ancestral strain, because there were two strains in existence by then, and only one of the strains was in the market.
[00:54:18]  So, you know, that market evidence shows very clearly that what happened there was a super spreader event, as far as we can tell.
[00:54:27]  Of course, more data may come to light at any time.
[00:54:30]  And therefore, we've got to look seriously at the other possibility, which is that the bats that are infected with these viruses, and by the way, no bats or pangolins were on sale in that market.
[00:54:41]  We now know that for sure.
[00:54:44]  The bats that were infected with these viruses live a thousand miles away in southern China.
[00:54:49]  Who goes to caves where these particular horseshoe bats live?
[00:54:53]  They don't live in buildings, these bats, they live in caves.
[00:54:56]  Who goes to these remote caves and then goes north to Wuhan?
[00:55:02]  Nobody, as far as we know, except one group, and that is the scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology who've been doing this for 10 years on an intensive scale.
[00:55:12]  And the reason is because they're trying to track down all SARS-like viruses, catalog them, get to know them, do experiments on them, and so on.
[00:55:18]  And where do they take the samples they get from bats?
[00:55:21]  They take them back to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
[00:55:24]  And that's why when the pandemic began, the closest relative of SARS-CoV-2 was found in a freezer at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
[00:55:33]  It's called RATG13, since a slightly more close one has been found in Laos.
[00:55:38]  But we also know that the Wuhan Institute of Virology scientists were going to Laos and bringing viruses back from there.
[00:55:45]  So we need to know all the viruses they collected and brought to Wuhan, and they won't tell us.
[00:55:51]  They won't tell us any of the viruses they've collected since 2016.
[00:55:55]  And that doesn't seem to me good enough.
[00:55:57]  We've had at least 5 million people dead.
[00:56:00]  What do you take from their shutting down of the vault, the website where it is?
[00:56:10]  Yeah, their database.
[00:56:12]  What do you take?
[00:56:13]  That happened on September 12th.
[00:56:16]  Then they asked for more security on September 12th.
[00:56:18]  Then they completely revamp their air handling system three days later.
[00:56:26]  And then they get a, what is it, an O2 incinerator a couple of weeks after that.
[00:56:33]  And we also know that there were patients being admitted.
[00:56:38]  Three of them were researchers from the Wuhan lab.
[00:56:42]  And that happened, I think, in November, October or November.
[00:56:46]  What do you make of all that?
[00:56:49]  Well, it's very hard to tell.
[00:56:51]  We're dealing with sketchy information.
[00:56:54]  The U.S. intelligence community says that there were three researchers from the lab who were hospitalized in November.
[00:57:02]  I can't verify that, so I don't know whether that's the case or not.
[00:57:06]  And obviously the Chinese authorities have not admitted that.
[00:57:12]  If you look at the genomics of the virus and work out its ancestry, you come to a date somewhere around the middle of November, but it could be as early as September, it could be as late as early December.
[00:57:24]  Okay, so you get a range when it's likely to be the first infection of a human being.
[00:57:29]  So we've got the whole of that autumn.
[00:57:32]  We've got a strange thing that there's the World Military Games in Wuhan in October, and they do an exercise, a security exercise, as to what to do if a coronavirus breaks out, which seems a slightly unusual thing to be suddenly talking about.
[00:57:46]  But then you have to remember SARS was on their mind from 10 years earlier or whatever.
[00:57:51]  And as for those events in September that you mentioned, the taking down of the website, not the website, the database, with 22,000 samples from bats and rodents in it, very, very useful database that we'd love to see.
[00:58:08]  And it never comes back up again.
[00:58:10]  12th of September seems too early.
[00:58:13]  It seems unlikely that it was necessarily because an accident had happened or because they knew that there had been an outbreak or something like that.
[00:58:20]  It's more likely that it was something to do with the end of one grant and the beginning of another, a review of the samples that they were going to do, transferring the leadership of the program from one group to another, moving the lab from one location to another, which we know was happening around that time.
[00:58:37]  So there's quite a lot of stuff going on, and that could explain some of the new equipment, etc.
[00:58:41]  But of course, all that movement, all that reviewing of samples and things could lead to an accidental exposure.
[00:58:48]  And one of the things we know, because this happened with SARS three times, is that sometimes people get infected without knowing it.
[00:58:57]  You know, there is no accident in the lab.
[00:58:59]  There is no drop test tube, but one of the researchers in the lab ends up infected and a test positive for this virus.
[00:59:07]  Right, exactly.
[00:59:08]  So sometime after September, because of something that happened then, it's possible that there was enough activity in the lab that led to an incidental infection or something like that.
[00:59:22]  But we can't tell until we get more information.
[00:59:25]  And as I say, the Chinese authorities will not release the names and serial numbers of the viruses that they collected after 2016.
[00:59:36]  More with Matt Ridley.
[00:59:37]  The name of the book is Viral.
[00:59:39]  It is the story of the COVID virus.
[00:59:42]  Matt Ridley continues here in just a second.
[00:59:44]  First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.
[00:59:47]  Sophia wrote in about her dog.
[00:59:48]  She said, my dog suffered from severe skin issues.
[00:59:52]  I had him on antibiotics every two to three months for several years.
[00:59:57]  I knew that it was not healthy for him to be on antibiotics that much, but it was the only option I had to relieve him of the blisters on his skin and constant issues.
[01:00:08]  After several elimination diets and hundreds of dollars in vet bills, we decided, let's listen, and we'll try Rough Greens.
[01:00:18]  I am so thankful we did.
[01:00:20]  After he started, we've never had another bout of skin issues, and he's never been on antibiotics again.
[01:00:26]  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
[01:00:28]  Sophia, thank you for listening and thanks for giving it a shot.
[01:00:31]  I'm so glad it helps your dog.
[01:00:35]  It is not a food.
[01:00:37]  It's something you put on your dog's food.
[01:00:39]  It has all the nutrients and probiotics and everything else your dog needs.
[01:00:43]  Get a free bag of rough greens right now for your dog just to try out.
[01:00:46]  Make sure that he likes it.
[01:00:47]  All you pay for is shipping.
[01:00:49]  Just go to roughgreens, r-u-f-f-greens.com/slash back or call 833-Glenn33.
[01:00:55]  833-Glenn33.
[01:00:57]  Roughgreens.com/slash back.
[01:00:59]  10 seconds, station ID.
[01:01:13]  I want to play something for you.
[01:01:17]  We have Matt Ridley on, author of Viral.
[01:01:20]  Can we please play Dr. Fauci Cut 4, please?
[01:01:24]  Anybody who spends lies and threatens and all that theater that goes on with some of the investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that's noise, Margaret.
[01:01:39]  That's noise.
[01:01:40]  I know what my job is.
[01:01:41]  All I want to do is save people's lives.
[01:01:44]  I mean, anybody who's looking at this carefully realizes that there's a distinct anti-science flavor to this.

=== Anti-Science Attacks on Fauci (17:23) ===

[01:01:53]  So if they get up and criticize science, nobody's going to know what they're talking about.
[01:01:58]  But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well, people could recognize there's a person there, so it's easy to criticize, but they're really criticizing science because I represent science.
[01:02:11]  dangerous to me that's and stop math Does Anthony Fauci represent science?
[01:02:19]  I mean, I think honest questions are part of science.
[01:02:24]  Yes, that's the key point here, is that science should be questioning.
[01:02:28]  It should be skeptical.
[01:02:29]  It should be prepared to probe.
[01:02:32]  And, you know, I see it as perfectly legitimate for people to ask him about gain of function experiments, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:02:41]  I'm not here to take sides in the U.S. political debate because I'm not from the U.S.
[01:02:46]  And so it's not my job.
[01:02:49]  And I do think that our focus should be on what happened in China.
[01:02:53]  There's no question that this pandemic began in China.
[01:02:57]  U.S. funding for it was there for the research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but it wasn't the main form of funding.
[01:03:08]  So it's difficult to know exactly where to come down on this, but I don't like it.
[01:03:13]  When any senior scientist says, I am science, trust me, I think it's very important that they say the purpose of science is that the only authority in science is the evidence.
[01:03:28]  You know, if you want an argument from authority, then, you know, you join the church or something.
[01:03:36]  If you want an argument from evidence, then you go to science.
[01:03:39]  That should be the way we should think about it.
[01:03:41]  Matt Ridley, the name of the book is Viral.

[01:05:51]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[01:05:54]  We've been talking about Omnicron, the new variant, and the wild overreaction to this.
[01:06:05]  At least that's what we think, seeing that the person who actually discovered it said that no one's been hospitalized for it.
[01:06:13]  It hits people under 40, and the worst aspects of it is you feel fatigue and achy body for two days, and everyone's been treated at home.
[01:06:28]  So why are we closing everything?
[01:06:30]  What is happening?
[01:06:31]  What is it that they know that we don't know?
[01:06:33]  Or is this just another grab for power?
[01:06:36]  Or is this our sainted, wonderful people in Washington that are just like, we want to keep America safe?
[01:06:45]  Yeah.
[01:06:48]  I would like to ask you to watch and pass on the Blaze TV's crime or cover-up.
[01:06:59]  Oh, okay.
[01:06:59]  Special.
[01:07:00]  You know what?
[01:07:01]  It's on YouTube.
[01:07:02]  Yeah, go to YouTube.
[01:07:02]  I can just share it from YouTube.
[01:07:04]  So I just go to YouTube.
[01:07:05]  Go to YouTube.
[01:07:05]  And I search for Glenn Beck.
[01:07:07]  Glenn Beck.
[01:07:08]  Crimes.
[01:07:09]  Crimes.
[01:07:11]  Or cover-up.
[01:07:13]  Correct.
[01:07:13]  It's easy.
[01:07:14]  It's an easy thing to search for.
[01:07:16]  Okay.
[01:07:16]  And it pops up here.
[01:07:18]  All right.
[01:07:18]  There's a first one is a story from Forbes.
[01:07:22]  Forbes.
[01:07:23]  Yeah.
[01:07:24]  What's on?
[01:07:25]  Is it on?
[01:07:26]  It says the evidence is mounting.
[01:07:27]  There's been a cover-up, and I guess it's a clip of our interview with Rand Paul.
[01:07:32]  Okay.
[01:07:33]  But okay.
[01:07:34]  Then you've got Glenn Beck walks off interview after Blaze layoffs.
[01:07:39]  Yeah, isn't that weird?
[01:07:40]  From three years ago.
[01:07:41]  From three years ago, a Brian Stelter interview pops up.
[01:07:44]  That's interesting.
[01:07:45]  That's weird.
[01:07:46]  Okay.
[01:07:47]  Glenn Beck joins Operation Underground Railroad.
[01:07:50]  Uh-huh.
[01:07:50]  Okay.
[01:07:52]  Do you find anything about you find the special try the try not to laugh challenge with Glenn Beck?
[01:07:58]  Uh-huh.
[01:08:00]  Glenn Beck opens up to Tucker.
[01:08:02]  So here's the thing.
[01:08:04]  You can't search YouTube and find our special.
[01:08:08]  It's still up, but they've made it impossible to find.
[01:08:13]  I mean, literally, I typed in the exact name of the title.
[01:08:17]  Yeah.
[01:08:17]  Glenn Beck.
[01:08:18]  Crimes or cover-up.
[01:08:20]  Crimes or cover-up.
[01:08:21]  Why wouldn't that come up first?
[01:08:23]  Correct.
[01:08:24]  Why don't you try Glenn Beck Crimes or Cover-Up?
[01:08:27]  The Blaze.
[01:08:28]  See if it comes up there.
[01:08:29]  Okay.
[01:08:29]  The Blaze.
[01:08:32]  Now the first one is Glenn Beck walks up off of interview with Brian Stelter.
[01:08:38]  So we've given it the literal title, the guy who did it and the network that it is on.
[01:08:47]  That's really weird.
[01:08:48]  Yeah.
[01:08:49]  Yeah.
[01:08:50]  You don't think there's some stifling of that, do you?
[01:08:54]  I mean, it's pretty clear.
[01:08:57]  It'd be tough to make a case the other way.
[01:08:59]  I mean, like, you know, if you go to Blaze TV, if you just go to Blaze TV's page, you could find it there, right?
[01:09:07]  I mean, it's not like they took it down from the internet.
[01:09:09]  No, I couldn't find it.
[01:09:10]  I couldn't find it, what, Saturday night.
[01:09:13]  I couldn't find it.
[01:09:15]  Now, I know, let me see.
[01:09:17]  Let me try.
[01:09:17]  What was it called?
[01:09:18]  It's a crime.
[01:09:19]  Crimes or cover-up.
[01:09:20]  Or cover-up.
[01:09:23]  It's on the Blaze TV.
[01:09:24]  It's on Blaze TV's YouTube channel.
[01:09:26]  I'm searching just Google and it comes up.
[01:09:29]  And here's the special.
[01:09:30]  So it is up on YouTube.
[01:09:31]  Yeah.
[01:09:32]  It has 645,000 views.
[01:09:34]  Yeah.
[01:09:35]  Should be a lot more than that.
[01:09:36]  Still.
[01:09:38]  I can guarantee you it's never coming up on your recommended list, ever.
[01:09:43]  And you can't even search YouTube and find it.
[01:09:45]  You can go to Google, but if you go to search for it on YouTube, you can't find it.
[01:09:53]  Now, this is directly tied to another subject.
[01:09:59]  This is the COVID is the emergency that is being utilized to change the world.
[01:10:09]  And you don't have to take that from me.
[01:10:11]  You can hear that from our vice president, our president, John Kerry.
[01:10:17]  You can hear it from the prime minister of Japan, the prime minister of India.
[01:10:25]  You can hear it from the prime minister of the UK.
[01:10:29]  They all said this is the way we can change the free market and reshape the world.
[01:10:37]  Okay.
[01:10:38]  All right.
[01:10:39]  What are they reshaping it to?
[01:10:41]  Which brings me to the next really bizarre thing.
[01:10:45]  Go to Amazon.com, Stu.
[01:10:48]  Okay.
[01:10:48]  Amazon.com.
[01:10:50]  Go to books.
[01:10:52]  My new book, The Great Reset, Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st Century Fascism.
[01:10:58]  So just write the great, just search for The Great Reset, Glenn Beck.
[01:11:03]  Okay, Great Reset, Glenn.
[01:11:05]  Now, this has partially been fixed because over the holidays, I looked it up.
[01:11:13]  What do you get?
[01:11:15]  First thing is Sean Spicer's new book.
[01:11:18]  Okay, that's an ad, right?
[01:11:18]  Oh, yeah.
[01:11:19]  Yep, it's an ad.
[01:11:20]  Then Glenn Beck, The Great Reset.
[01:11:22]  So it's there.
[01:11:23]  Okay.
[01:11:23]  All right.
[01:11:24]  Look at it carefully, right?
[01:11:26]  It's mine.
[01:11:26]  Dears, your book, the cover that we have here.
[01:11:28]  Correct.
[01:11:29]  Yeah, well, I'll tell you about that in a second.
[01:11:32]  Go to the next book.
[01:11:35]  COVID-19, The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab.
[01:11:38]  Okay, that's great because that's the actual Klaus Schwab is the guy who's designed it.
[01:11:43]  Yep.
[01:11:43]  So that's fine.
[01:11:44]  That's the next one.
[01:11:46]  Summary of The Great Reset by Glenn Beck.
[01:11:50]  Joe Biden and the Rise of the 21st Century Fascism by Michael Dantez.
[01:11:54]  You can get it immediately.
[01:11:56]  Get it instantly.
[01:11:57]  Wow.
[01:11:58]  That's interesting because the book isn't out yet.
[01:12:00]  Yeah, no, but he's got the summary.
[01:12:02]  So Michael Dantez.
[01:12:03]  Okay.
[01:12:04]  Now, then is The Dying Citizen, How Progressive Elites, Right?
[01:12:07]  Yep.
[01:12:08]  Then what's next?
[01:12:10]  Summary of The Great Reset by Glenn Beck.
[01:12:13]  This time, Martina Black.
[01:12:14]  Meltina Lewis, one of my favorite authors.
[01:12:16]  Oh, yeah.
[01:12:16]  She's true.
[01:12:18]  So there's only two.
[01:12:18]  I'm sure they're not the same person, by the way.
[01:12:20]  You're right.
[01:12:21]  There's only two that I could find today.
[01:12:23]  There were seven, and three of them were using my cover.
[01:12:28]  Really?
[01:12:29]  Yes.
[01:12:30]  So the book is not your book.
[01:12:32]  It is the summary of your book written by another author.
[01:12:37]  And three of them were using my cover.
[01:12:40]  Wow.
[01:12:41]  Okay.
[01:12:41]  Wait, I want to read what this book is about.
[01:12:44]  Oh, here.
[01:12:45]  This is.
[01:12:47]  The author has told a story that is intriguing.
[01:12:50]  Dot, dot, dot.
[01:12:51]  Michael Dantez has restlessly worked diligently to give us a comprehensive summary.
[01:12:57]  Dot, dot, dot.
[01:12:58]  This well-known personality and bestseller has finally rendered a crucial and jaw-breaking narration in this new release.
[01:13:07]  They've copied and pasted this a hundred times.
[01:13:11]  And well-made insight and summary of the main book.
[01:13:14]  This is not the main book.
[01:13:16]  It is a summary written by Michael Dantez.
[01:13:19]  It was not made to serve as a replacement, but as a comprehensive guide and insight of the main book, which, by the way, isn't out until January.
[01:13:27]  Right.
[01:13:27]  So there can't possibly be any way that this is summarizing what's in the book.
[01:13:30]  Order it.
[01:13:31]  Order it.
[01:13:32]  See if anything comes up.
[01:13:33]  Ooh, I like that.
[01:13:34]  Hold on.
[01:13:35]  There's a little bit more we need to know about this because there's bullet points about what's in the book.
[01:13:38]  Oh, okay.
[01:13:39]  Really?
[01:13:39]  What's in the book?
[01:13:40]  Number one bullet point.
[01:13:42]  What is included here?
[01:13:43]  A detailed display of all the mind-blowing information which the author had told.
[01:13:49]  Wow.
[01:13:52]  Then, well-made narration of the main points in the book presented in an understandable and pocket-friendly format.
[01:13:59]  Wow.
[01:14:00]  But it's only available on Kindle.
[01:14:03]  Right.
[01:14:04]  So I guess your phone for me.
[01:14:06]  My book is also pocket-friendly.
[01:14:09]  Then the next one.
[01:14:10]  An explanation of all the indirect and indirect statements made by the author to ensure a guided comprehension of the book.
[01:14:20]  An adequate conclusion of the main book that actualizes a perfect hint.
[01:14:26]  I don't even know what that one means.
[01:14:28]  This is like computer-generated garbage.
[01:14:31]  Yeah.
[01:14:31]  Oh, and whoa!
[01:14:33]  Why didn't they leave with this?
[01:14:34]  At the end, it says, in this summary of the book, you will find all other details that you would find helpful.
[01:14:42]  That's great.
[01:14:43]  They're not overpromising.
[01:14:45]  Right?
[01:14:45]  All other details that you would find helpful.
[01:14:48]  I think this is computer generated.
[01:14:50]  I really do.
[01:14:51]  I think this is computer generated.
[01:14:53]  And printing length is 10 pages, by the way.
[01:14:56]  I've had, what, 21 bestsellers, something like that?
[01:15:01]  I've never had this.
[01:15:04]  Okay.
[01:15:05]  Maybe somebody would come out and do one thing.
[01:15:08]  There were seven last week.
[01:15:10]  And one of them with my cover, but a fake book was ahead of my real book.
[01:15:20]  Okay.
[01:15:20]  Wow.
[01:15:21]  I'm telling you, there is, we are on it.
[01:15:26]  We are on it.
[01:15:27]  YouTube does not want to take that offline because they don't want it to be banned to make a bigger deal out of it.
[01:15:38]  So they're just screwing with the algorithm so you can never find it.
[01:15:43]  You never find it.
[01:15:45]  Put it behind, put it into the digital ghetto.
[01:15:49]  Let them talk in the ghetto.
[01:15:52]  That's the definition of a digital ghetto.
[01:15:56]  With this one, why the confusion on this book?
[01:16:01]  Why?
[01:16:02]  How can three people post my book with my artwork and it be up there?
[01:16:11]  How's that possible?
[01:16:12]  How's that possible?
[01:16:15]  I'm telling you, be very, very careful.
[01:16:17]  Buy the book.
[01:16:19]  The Great Reset, Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st Century Fascism.
[01:16:23]  Make sure it is not a summary.
[01:16:26]  Make sure it is by Glenn Beck.
[01:16:30]  You know, just be very careful when you buy it, but please buy it now.
[01:16:34]  The reordering for the second printing is sketchy at best.
[01:16:40]  We ordered way too many books for a first printing because we were told the second printing might be as long as five months.
[01:16:49]  So get this book right now, The Great Reset, Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st Century Fascism.
[01:16:56]  You can find that at Amazon.
[01:16:58]  I will say I'd like to recommend your book.
[01:17:01]  I would, you know, as a friend, I would like your book to be successful.
[01:17:03]  Sure.
[01:17:04]  Right.
[01:17:04]  Right.
[01:17:05]  However, with this summary available, I don't know that I can honestly recommend to the people to pay the full price for the book.
[01:17:11]  Now, is that the one?
[01:17:12]  Because I've just purchased a summary of The Great Reset by Glenn Beck.
[01:17:16]  Really?
[01:17:16]  Yes.
[01:17:17]  And this is how it begins.
[01:17:19]  First of all, the first line is: the rights of this book continue to be reserved.
[01:17:26]  Wait, so are they in a process of negotiation with you over the rights?
[01:17:31]  Of course, I'm sure.
[01:17:32]  Okay.
[01:17:33]  This is for the man or woman observing at this book all of the satisfactory.
[01:17:41]  This is computer generated.
[01:17:43]  This is not easy.
[01:17:44]  Somebody has done this with computer generation.
[01:17:48]  Now, would you like to know what you say in the book?
[01:17:50]  Yeah, sure.
[01:17:51]  I'd love to.
[01:17:52]  Glenn Beck contends that the American way of life may not undergo the great reset and cautions us to prevent it earlier than it is beyond the factor in which it's miles viable to replace course.
[01:18:06]  What?
[01:18:07]  Wow.
[01:18:08]  Do I want to buy this book?
[01:18:10]  Fantastic.
[01:18:10]  I want to buy this book.
[01:18:12]  I wonder if Martina's version is even better.
[01:18:14]  Well, she, because I have Martina Lewis up here.
[01:18:18]  You have Martina Lewis's.
[01:18:19]  In this summary, Martina Lewis captures the climax of Beck's book while making sure that the central message is not derailed from Lewis writes in a voice that could be heard by every class of readers.
[01:18:34]  Well, that's not a Marxist dog whistle there.
[01:18:40]  She says the following key points adequately captured in all-encompassing summary, the agenda behind the COVID-19 lockdowns, the true agenda of the meeting held by the World Economic Forum, countries the Great Reset has started manifesting itself in, and what would happen if the agenda of the Great Reset becomes a reality in this world.
[01:19:06]  That actually sounds like somebody who is thinking.
[01:19:08]  That doesn't sound like a computer.
[01:19:10]  Yeah, this one is better, though.
[01:19:12]  I think my version's better.
[01:19:14]  Let me just give you a little, this is fantastic.

=== The Great Reset Summary (05:45) ===

[01:19:17]  An international intrigue.
[01:19:19]  This is your book.
[01:19:20]  An international intrigue among extremely good brokers, commercial enterprise pioneers, and authorities, authorities.
[01:19:30]  Whoa.
[01:19:30]  Twice in a row.
[01:19:31]  Close entryway gatherings within the Swiss Alps.
[01:19:36]  What?

[01:20:00]  Oh, my gosh.
[01:20:01]  Five steaks.
[01:20:02]  I put it back in.
[01:20:03]  It was $80.
[01:20:05]  Five steaks.
[01:20:08]  80.

[01:21:27]  I disagree.
[01:21:29]  This book you found?
[01:21:30]  Yeah.
[01:21:30]  Summarizing mine.
[01:21:32]  Yeah, in The Great Reset, Glenn Beck makes use of his logo call blend of humor, narrating, and specific research to discover curiously the first-rate reality, approximately the great reset, integrating nearly two decades of pivotal exploration, approximately tyrant traits, and their endeavors to, on a totally simple stage, extrade the United States.
[01:21:57]  The manual to halting the great reset.
[01:22:00]  I mean, are you?
[01:22:01]  I'm riveted.
[01:22:02]  Yes, I am.
[01:22:02]  The manual to halting the great reset begins off evolved with absolutely getting what the unfastened humans, businesses of the sector are facing.
[01:22:14]  And no asset offers extra facts, approximately this intense improvement than the Glenn Beck's Reset Jackson.
[01:22:23]  That's the summary.
[01:22:26]  Somebody is just dumping Great Reset by Glenn Beck's summary books out to confuse people.
[01:22:33]  Yes.
[01:22:34]  So they can make money or not sell my book.
[01:22:37]  I don't know what the motivation is, but that is not a very good summary of my book.
[01:22:43]  No?
[01:22:44]  No, it's not.
[01:22:46]  This is the Glenn Back Program.
[01:22:48]  Let me tell you about Echelon.

[01:22:53]  It's a way, I mean, you could go to the gym.
[01:22:56]  I mean, look at me.

[01:22:59]  Yeah, for sure.
[01:23:00]  But Echelon will bring the gym to you.
[01:23:03]  And that way you can do everything like Glenn likes to do it from his own home without ever going outside.
[01:23:09]  Yeah, I like that.
[01:23:10]  And this echelon, only because my wife uses it, not me, because I'm a slug.
[01:23:18]  Echelon does not become a very expensive closet or hangar.
[01:23:23]  You know, you're right.

[01:24:44]  This is the Glenn Beck Program.
[01:24:54]  Hello, America.
[01:24:56]  I've got some really good news this hour.
[01:24:58]  First, I want to give you a couple things of hope.

=== Oroville's Stand for America (09:05) ===

[01:25:02]  One from history and something else that just happened in California of all places.
[01:25:08]  We go there in 60 seconds.
[01:25:09]  Stand by.
[01:25:13]  The Glenn Beck Program.
[01:25:15]  Okay, you know, I promised you hope, but, you know, I do have to remind you, Bank of America made the cheery prediction that stocks are going to fall 20% in the next 12 months.
[01:25:27]  Oh, well, that's no big deal, right?
[01:25:29]  I mean, that's, do you have anything that is hedging this up?
[01:25:34]  Because you have money in the stock market, whether you realize it or not, usually through your 401k, you know, or if you have a union pension fund, that's all in the stock market.
[01:25:46]  So what else do you have?
[01:25:48]  A great hedge against insanity is gold or silver.
[01:25:53]  Goldline has extended their Thanksgiving special due to overwhelming popularity.
[01:25:57]  Call Goldline today.
[01:25:59]  Receive one free ounce silver Santa Claus rounds for the holidays.

[01:26:07]  Santa Claus rounds now at goldline.com, 866-GOLDLINE, 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
[01:26:25]  So Oroville is a small town in California that has just declared itself a town of a constitutional republic.
[01:26:34]  You might have seen the vice mayor, Scott Thompson, on Tucker Carlson last week, but I wanted to hear the results of what happened after Tucker, because that's always a fun experience for people who have all of a sudden been exposed to, oh, crap, there's a lot of haters out there.
[01:26:54]  Scott, welcome to the program.
[01:26:56]  Hey, thank you so much for having me on.
[01:26:58]  And by the way, I've been listening to you for years.
[01:26:59]  I'm a big fan.
[01:27:00]  Oh, thank you.
[01:27:01]  Honor to be here.
[01:27:02]  Thank you.
[01:27:03]  Now, I just, I have to ask, we got the vice mayor on.
[01:27:08]  Is that because we couldn't get the real mayor, Scott?
[01:27:14]  Sure.
[01:27:17]  So you're the mayor of this little town and you've just declared it a constitutional republic.
[01:27:24]  Why?
[01:27:27]  As you know, these mandates just continue to come.
[01:27:31]  And from the get-go, when they said two weeks to slow the curve, how long has that been now?
[01:27:38]  And the mandates just continue to get more and more intrusive.
[01:27:42]  And it's been like a carrot dangling in front of our faces.
[01:27:45]  Like, you know, just a little more, just a little more, just a little less freedom, a little less freedom.
[01:27:50]  And now it's the vaccine mandates that is facing our kids here in California.
[01:27:55]  I'm the father of two young boys, Isaac and Ben.
[01:27:58]  And that's, you know, absolutely the line in the sand where it's one thing to wear a mask.
[01:28:04]  It's another thing when you say we're going to inject this into your body.
[01:28:08]  And to be honest, we're not, I'm not pro or anti-vax, not pro or anti, you know, vaccine.
[01:28:17]  This is about freedom.
[01:28:19]  And it's absolutely a Marxist agenda that's coming towards us, just removing how much control are we going to let the government have?
[01:28:29]  And that's why we declared ourselves as California seems to be headed in a Marxist, more of a socialist, more of a dictatorship.
[01:28:38]  We're sticking our stake in the ground and saying, no, we're going to stay a constitutional republic.
[01:28:43]  So that means that our people have rights endowed by the Creator, which we plan on protecting, which, by the way, we took an oath.
[01:28:50]  Every sworn police officer and city council person makes an oath when they come into office that they will protect the Constitution of the United States and state of California.
[01:29:00]  And, you know, republic means separation of powers.
[01:29:03]  So that's basically what we've made this stand for.
[01:29:06]  So it's not anti-vax, it's anti-Marxism.
[01:29:11]  So this passed in the city council.
[01:29:14]  There was only one person that voted against it, but she didn't even seem like she had a problem with it.
[01:29:21]  She said we should go through the courts, not through a proclamation, right?
[01:29:26]  Yeah, yes.
[01:29:26]  Christy, she's an amazing young lady.
[01:29:30]  I am appreciative of all of our city council members.
[01:29:32]  And we're, by the way, Oroville is a purple city.
[01:29:34]  It is not a red city.
[01:29:36]  If you look at the registration of our voters, it's 40, 40, 20.
[01:29:40]  It's 40, you know, conservative, 40 liberal, and 40 independent.
[01:29:44]  And she's voting and she's registered with the Democratic side.
[01:29:47]  And I'm friends with her.
[01:29:49]  And she, you know, she, in fact, the next city council, she wasn't necessarily opposed to the idea, just the avenue.
[01:29:56]  In fact, the very next city council meeting, she made a motion that our attorney specifically look into lawsuits or pending lawsuits that we could jump in on to fight these mandates or whatnot.
[01:30:08]  So she absolutely wasn't, you know, by her own actions, wasn't necessarily opposed to it.
[01:30:14]  So you were on with Tucker, and I got to believe after you were on Tucker, you met a whole new group of people.
[01:30:24]  Boy, did I.
[01:30:27]  Yeah.
[01:30:28]  I was like, wow, people, you know, and that's that's what's sad, just the crop of humanity that came out and sent out voicemails and emails and whatnot.
[01:30:39]  You know, these the hate and the nastiness is not coming from within our community.
[01:30:43]  I'm really proud of Oroville because here in our town, I think America is still alive and well, where you can have a differing opinion and still come to the table, discuss it, and come away still somewhat respecting each other.
[01:30:58]  And there's others out there where if you disagree with them, then you're then they start throwing names at you and calling you everything in the book to no longer treat you as a human, but then now treat you as some ideology that they hate.
[01:31:13]  So you're a pastor and you were living in the Bay Area.
[01:31:20]  Right.
[01:31:21]  You must have been mighty popular.
[01:31:27]  And why did you move?
[01:31:29]  Why did you move to Oroville?
[01:31:32]  That is a very long story, but if I can put it in a nutshell, as a Christian, you know, I firmly believe that God speaks to us.
[01:31:45]  And there was 24 confirming, I call them breadcrumbs that were completely off the wall, crazy.
[01:31:54]  People coming out of nowhere and just saying things.
[01:31:57]  I'm just keeping things in private in prayer.
[01:32:00]  And God just completely led us here.
[01:32:02]  And so I, oh yeah, that was back in 2014 and came to a little town and to a church that was dying.
[01:32:11]  I had about 30 people in it, and they were all, you know, and retired, very elderly.
[01:32:17]  Now our church is thriving and it's good.
[01:32:20]  But I didn't just come from the church.
[01:32:22]  I really felt strongly that came here for Oroville.
[01:32:25]  And also, I believe Oroville is in a bubble for California.
[01:32:29]  We're a beachhead for what I believe that God wants to do for the whole state because California is not lost by any means, by any means.
[01:32:38]  California, there's absolute hope.
[01:32:40]  Absolute, absolute hope.
[01:32:43]  Why do you say, what makes you say that?
[01:32:46]  I mean, just a casual observer from the outside.
[01:32:51]  Are you not?
[01:32:53]  Yes, yes, absolutely.
[01:32:55]  You know, as a Bible-believing Christian, you know, if you read, I'm sure, I know as well you're a man of faith.
[01:33:02]  You know, in the scriptures, it says, is the Lord's arm too short to save?
[01:33:07]  Can he save by many or by few?
[01:33:09]  And there are a lot of people that are moving out of state because of what's going on here.
[01:33:13]  But in the same way that Gideon's army was reduced before God did his thing in the same way, I absolutely believe that there's hope.
[01:33:23]  I believe that what God is doing here in Oregon, I've been saying it for years, what God's going to do in Oroville is going to be a blessing, a spiritual blessing to the whole state of California.
[01:33:32]  That's great.
[01:33:33]  And thus, it would be a great blessing to us as well, all over the nation.
[01:33:39]  Scott, thank you so much for what you're doing.
[01:33:41]  And keep it up.
[01:33:43]  I'd love to hear about how the attorneys react because I happen to agree with Chrissy that it is through the courts that this thing can be wrangled back into the hands of the people.
[01:34:02]  So let us know what's going on, will you?
[01:34:04]  Thank you so much, sir.
[01:34:05]  Thanks, Scott.
[01:34:06]  I appreciate it.
[01:34:06]  God bless.

=== American Financing in an Inflation Era (15:05) ===

[01:34:07]  Let me tell you about American Financing.
[01:34:10]  American Financing, NMLS 1-82334.
[01:34:14]  www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
[01:34:17]  Now, normally that says everything, but I'm going to go a little further.
[01:34:22]  Inflation continues to dominate the country.
[01:34:24]  We're at a level we haven't seen in decades.
[01:34:28]  Cost of everything is going up.
[01:34:31]  So what are you doing to save money?
[01:34:34]  How are you affording the meat at the grocery store?
[01:34:38]  I got to tell you, I've never put meat back before.
[01:34:46]  You know what I mean?
[01:34:46]  I'll go for a cheaper steak or whatever, but I walked away.
[01:34:51]  I backed away from the meat counter.
[01:34:54]  When I picked up a package in Costco and it was $80, five steaks, 80.
[01:35:03]  I just put it down.
[01:35:04]  My wife was on the other side and I just put it down and I backed away and she said, did you get any steaks?
[01:35:10]  And I said, I don't think we're having steaks for a while.
[01:35:13]  That's crazy.
[01:35:15]  Crazy.
[01:35:16]  And it's hitting everywhere.
[01:35:18]  May I suggest you can save money right now by not giving the bums at the bank more than they deserve by refinancing your home, your mortgage, or refinancing and then folding in all of your high interest credit card loans.
[01:35:35]  For over two decades, American Financing have been helping people just like you to make the finances work for them.
[01:35:42]  So they work for you, not the bank.
[01:35:44]  Put them to work today.
[01:35:46]  Call them.
[01:35:46]  American Financing 800-906-2440.
[01:35:50]  American Financing 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
[01:35:56]  10 seconds station id glenn just to wrap up a couple things we've been talking about First of all, Fauci Lied Special is the place you can go to get directly to the YouTube page.
[01:36:10]  So if you go there.
[01:36:11]  Go to YouTube.
[01:36:12]  Yeah.
[01:36:13]  Instead of going to YouTube and trying to search for something you're never going to find, just go to FauciLiedSpecial.com.
[01:36:19]  That will bring you directly to the page.
[01:36:21]  Crazy.
[01:36:22]  It's crazy that you have to do that.
[01:36:23]  And it's crazy that they wouldn't pull it because it had to have violated, I know, like a billion different things, right?
[01:36:32]  Right, right.
[01:36:32]  And they would cancel it.
[01:36:34]  They've decided not to cancel it.
[01:36:37]  They've decided to bury it.
[01:36:39]  It's impossible to find on YouTube.
[01:36:42]  And it's one thing I think I would, I actually have some sympathy for the idea that they wouldn't necessarily need to promote a special they didn't agree with.
[01:36:49]  Like, you know, like, you know, they put some stuff on the front page, for example.
[01:36:52]  Yeah.
[01:36:53]  They don't have to pick your thing, right?
[01:36:55]  There's a lot of pages, you know, there's a lot of things going there.
[01:36:57]  They're very popular on YouTube.
[01:36:58]  They don't have to pick your popular thing.
[01:37:01]  They don't have to do that.
[01:37:02]  They don't have to promote it.
[01:37:04]  But if someone searches for the exact title of the special, it should probably pop up.
[01:37:09]  It should probably pop up.
[01:37:10]  I mean, I'm not asking you to.
[01:37:11]  And I have to tell you, if you're, if, I mean, if you are somebody who is a conservative and you're, you know, subscriber to the blaze, whatever, you know, on YouTube, it should come up in your recommend.
[01:37:23]  That algorithm is.
[01:37:24]  You should recommend the things you like.
[01:37:26]  Recommend the things you like.
[01:37:27]  Right.
[01:37:28]  Not the things that they like.
[01:37:30]  Right.
[01:37:31]  And that is part, some of the issues they're dealing with.
[01:37:35]  I mean, Jack from Twitter is stepping down as CEO today.
[01:37:39]  So they're all dealing with all sorts of, you know, pressures from every single direction.
[01:37:46]  So there's that.
[01:37:46]  FauciLightSpecial.com.
[01:37:48]  Make sure you go there to check that out.
[01:37:49]  And then also, I've been reading, I've been doing some research for my new book, which is called The Summary of the Summary of Glenn Beck's The New Reset.
[01:37:57]  Really?
[01:37:58]  The summary of the summary?
[01:37:59]  Because I don't care about your book anymore.
[01:38:00]  Now I only care.
[01:38:02]  If you just joined us last hour, if you go to not only having problems with YouTube, but my book at Amazon, somebody is either just greedy as hell, and it's a computer, or something else is going on.
[01:38:20]  There were seven, seven summaries of Glenn Beck's book, The Great Reset, which is not out.
[01:38:28]  Which is not out.
[01:38:29]  And it was three of them just last week had the cover of my book.
[01:38:34]  I mean, I would have bought it.
[01:38:36]  I just would have bought it because I'd see the cover and I'd go, yep, that one.
[01:38:39]  Yeah.
[01:38:39]  And of course, it's a lot cheaper than the actual book cost.
[01:38:42]  It's like $3.
[01:38:44]  $3, right.
[01:38:44]  Because, you know, it's not, it's not a good book.
[01:38:47]  So there's, some would say.
[01:38:49]  You mean the summary?
[01:38:50]  Right.
[01:38:51]  Your book is good.
[01:38:52]  Yeah.
[01:38:52]  My summary of your book is not as good.
[01:38:54]  Although, I will say, I'm even questioning your book.
[01:38:57]  Honestly, after reading the summary of your book, I don't even know what you're saying, what points you're making.
[01:39:02]  Right.
[01:39:02]  Well, like, for example.
[01:39:04]  Some would say that that has been computer generated.
[01:39:08]  Look, I'm a friend of yours.
[01:39:10]  Okay.
[01:39:11]  I am here to give you the benefit of the doubt.
[01:39:13]  Okay, yes.
[01:39:14]  But I don't understand some of the choices you've made in this book.
[01:39:16]  Okay.
[01:39:17]  For example, you decided to end the book, The Great Reset, with this, and I don't understand it.
[01:39:24]  Okay.
[01:39:25]  This is reading, of course, from the summary of the Great Reset by Glenn Beck.
[01:39:30]  He completes his e-book, and actually it's an EE-E-book.
[01:39:34]  Oh.
[01:39:35]  So is that an internal publishing term of sorts?
[01:39:39]  Yeah, EE-E-book.
[01:39:41]  So he completes his EE-E-book with a gander on the 1914 Christmas Day detente, closer to the start of the First World War.
[01:39:51]  More than 100,000 squaddies sent out their hands at the reducing area to play football.
[01:39:59]  Percentage stories, photographs, meals, and beverages.
[01:40:03]  Now, what does that have to do with the growth results?
[01:40:07]  Photographs, meaningful meals and messages.
[01:40:10]  Why percentage stories?
[01:40:12]  Why would 100,000 truths get together to tell percentage stories?
[01:40:17]  I thought it was important.
[01:40:18]  I thought it was important.
[01:40:20]  Yes, I did.
[01:40:21]  So they captured my book perfectly there.
[01:40:24]  Yeah, I mean, it's wonderful.
[01:40:25]  It's wonderful.
[01:40:26]  I can't get enough of this.
[01:40:27]  All right.
[01:40:28]  This is just, I mean, it really is interesting.
[01:40:32]  Would you like another?
[01:40:33]  Not really.
[01:40:34]  In the interim, lower back at each certainly considered among our houses as COVID-19 has proven maximum manifestly.
[01:40:46]  We're merrily confiding in absolute outsiders, assisting our acquaintances and networks, giving time and coins to noble purpose throughout and giving billions of large and little kindnesses to each other every and each hour of every and each day,
[01:41:12]  which manifestly is going unremarked.
[01:41:17]  Okay, I have an explanation for that.
[01:41:20]  Read the first part of that sentence again.
[01:41:23]  In the interim, lower back at each certainly considered.
[01:41:28]  Let me just say, I was in really bad lower back pain.
[01:41:31]  Okay.
[01:41:32]  And I may have taken some medication and then I wrote you wrote this.
[01:41:38]  So this is actually the correct summary.
[01:41:39]  That's the correct.
[01:41:40]  That's from the chapter that you probably should just skip because it was like lower back pain really bad.
[01:41:46]  Here's what I think this really says, though.
[01:41:48]  Yeah.
[01:41:49]  Obviously, Amazon has some massive problems with their site.
[01:41:53]  I guess to become the richest man in the world, maybe overlook a few bits of plagiarism and exploitation of your customers.
[01:42:02]  But it also shows, I think, that people are looking for information on this.
[01:42:08]  I mean, it is, people really want to know what the Great Reset is.
[01:42:11]  So scammers are looking at your book coming out and saying, let's just piggyback off that to make some extra cash.
[01:42:18]  But more importantly than that is that people know this information is out there.
[01:42:23]  They know this topic is important and they can't find it from the mainstream press.
[01:42:27]  I mean, it's not, this is why the book is important, I think, and that you're actually going through and separating not only the nonsense that the mainstream media provides, but also some of the stuff that's online that isn't true about the Great Reset.
[01:42:42]  And you're able to go through that and document it.
[01:42:43]  So that is important.
[01:42:44]  I would say the summary is less important.
[01:42:47]  Funny.
[01:42:49]  And I hope when they pull this off, which they undoubtedly will, I hope they don't rip it out of my Kindle library.
[01:42:56]  Because you just bought it.
[01:42:57]  Because I just bought it.
[01:42:58]  I'm an owner.
[01:42:59]  And now that I own the summary of the Great Reset, I just hope they don't take it off of my camera.
[01:43:06]  Yeah, no, they would never do that.
[01:43:08]  They would never do that.
[01:43:09]  By the way, the name of the book is The Great Reset, Joe Biden and the Rise of the 21st Century Fascism.
[01:43:17]  And it is coming out right after the holidays.
[01:43:20]  So you can grab your copy of it right now.
[01:43:23]  Just go to Amazon.com, but be very careful because there's all kinds of summaries of this book.
[01:43:31]  Just so depressed.
[01:43:32]  I mean, I'm reading in this book right now that this new economic scene and bobbing up way of life will now no longer join up completely all alone again.
[01:43:43]  That that might have been might have been just the pain without the medication.
[01:43:50]  And this was like bobbing up.
[01:43:53]  Fine, just put that in.
[01:43:54]  Yeah, is it really?
[01:43:56]  Basically, are they taking words?
[01:43:58]  You've said how could they?
[01:44:00]  How could they?
[01:44:00]  Well, you've done a lot of monologues, you've done specials on the great Reset.
[01:44:04]  Some of the stuff that's in this book is out there that you've done.
[01:44:06]  I would imagine that they just go the computer, because it's obviously computer generated.
[01:44:11]  Yeah, so it's just searching for great reset and then just compute like because, if you know, because if you notice parts of it are positive about the great reset and parts are negative, and parts are negative in the same sentence, at one point they bring, they bring up in a positive light Thomas Piketty, who's like a communist, like in the in the wonderful book Thomas Piketty Capital.
[01:44:33]  It's like, wait a minute no, this is.
[01:44:35]  This is the opposite of what Glenn says in the book.
[01:44:38]  Well, you have to get the book to find out.
[01:44:40]  There are some astonishing conclusions I found out.
[01:44:44]  Yeah, I mean, I mean one of them might be that I just have gone full-fledged communist.
[01:44:48]  I mean you want it, you want some good stats.
[01:44:49]  An extra of 45 of the United States exertions pressure, 60 million specialists, as of now, do that type of paintings and that they procure most effective 50 of what meeting line employees make and simply 33 of what experts specialize and fax employees are paid.
[01:45:11]  I would love, I would love all of us, to be in on a joke oh, where you just invite like, we just invite like five people, we just want to just and I give that speech in a crowd of a thousand people and you're all yeah, and those five people are like what the hell is he even talking about?
[01:45:31]  Oh, I love that little Andy Kaufman, little Andy Kauffman, but uh well, everything turned out well for Andy Kauffman, right?
[01:45:38]  How did that end?
[01:45:39]  I forgot, I forgot, All right.

[01:47:14]  How about blew a gasket over the holidays when I heard that Joe Biden was opening up the strategic oil reserve to bring down gas prices.
[01:47:28]  Yeah, Joe, that's not what the Strategic Oil Reserve is for.
[01:47:32]  And when are you going to replenish that?
[01:47:34]  Because I don't see the price of gas going down because of what your administration is doing.
[01:47:40]  This is, I mean, everything this administration has done or is doing is to the detriment of the United States of America.
[01:47:48]  It's important to note, too, that when prices went down by 14 cents for your July 4th picnic, they did say that was the result of Joe Biden's economic plan working.
[01:47:58]  That was their summary of the 14 cent savings you supposedly had on July 4th.
[01:48:03]  Yeah.
[01:48:03]  What about this year?
[01:48:04]  This year?
[01:48:05]  Apparently, $80 stakes.
[01:48:06]  Right.
[01:48:07]  When the prices are going up, it apparently is not a reflection that their plan isn't working, which is interesting because I don't think that they're even trying anymore.
[01:48:19]  Oh, no, no, no.
[01:48:19]  They're not trying.
[01:48:20]  They don't care.
[01:48:21]  They say the, you know, the gibberish you just spat out from the computer doing a summary of my book, which they couldn't do because the book's not out.
[01:48:31]  That gibberish sounds honestly like the stuff that comes out of Washington or, you know, our universities.
[01:48:38]  It could be a gender studies paper that would be approved by most journals.
[01:48:42]  Try this one on for size.
[01:48:43]  The Department of Education is now proposing to roll back attempts at collecting additional data on teacher-perpetrated sexual assaults.
[01:48:52]  Data collection under last week's proposal would continue to include the number of documented incidents at a given school, but would retire the Trump error reporting on rape or attempted rape or sexual assault allegations that were followed by a resignation or retirement prior to final discipline or termination.

=== Collecting Data on Committed Offenses (09:20) ===

[01:49:12]  So in other words, you have all these allegations coming out before the school can do something.
[01:49:20]  He's like, I'm retiring and they want that wiped clean then.
[01:49:29]  The things that they are doing now, they say they're only doing to collect data.
[01:49:33]  We're going to continue to collect data of documented incidents of offenses committed by school staff, including rape and attempted rape and sexual assault.
[01:49:43]  Notice they use the word committed.
[01:49:47]  These are the data that we've collected since 2015 and 2016.
[01:49:51]  We just propose retiring data on the number of allegations made against school staff to reduce the burden on data and duplication of data.
[01:50:01]  Oh, okay.
[01:50:03]  All right.
[01:50:05]  So they're going to do this.
[01:50:07]  They are going to retire these things.
[01:50:10]  Whether any of the school's students, faculty, or staff died as a result of a homicide committed at the school.
[01:50:17]  Government says we don't need that anymore.
[01:50:19]  Whether there has been at least one incident at the school that involved a shooting.
[01:50:23]  Don't need that anymore.
[01:50:25]  Number of allegations made against a school staff member of rape or attempted rape or sexual assault that occurred at the school, which were followed by determination that the school staff member was responsible or not responsible for the offense.
[01:50:42]  Just get rid of that.
[01:50:43]  I don't think that's important.
[01:50:44]  No, I don't either.
[01:50:45]  Number of allegations made against a school staff member of rape or attempted rape or sexual assault that occurred at the school, which had the determination that remained pending.
[01:50:56]  Number of allegations made against school staff member of rape or attempted rape or sexual assault that occurred at the school, which were followed by a duty reassignment.
[01:51:06]  Oh my gosh, prior to the final discipline.
[01:51:10]  That's what the Catholic Church was doing.
[01:51:14]  They got an allegation of a priest and they reassigned him.
[01:51:18]  Right.
[01:51:18]  That's what our Department of Education, they are predators.
[01:51:24]  The education system is becoming a predator of your children.
[01:51:30]  By the way, Black Lives Matter has launched a Christmas campaign against white supremacist capitalism, which I think we all engage in all the time.
[01:51:39]  I mean, that's the only way.
[01:51:41]  I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
[01:51:42]  Hello.
[01:51:44]  Salvation Army has now gone woke.
[01:51:48]  They need white people to, quote, lament, repent, and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held or actions committed.
[01:51:59]  I don't think that I've done any of that.
[01:52:02]  So guess who's not getting my dollar, Santa?
[01:52:05]  From the Salvation Army.
[01:52:07]  Salvation Army.
[01:52:10]  I'm leading somewhere.
[01:52:12]  Paintings of George Floyd on display now at Catholic University.
[01:52:17]  Okay.
[01:52:18]  No big deal, right?
[01:52:22]  Except these are paintings of George Floyd at Catholic University depicted as Jesus Christ.
[01:52:35]  Do you really have a problem with that?
[01:52:37]  I mean, really.
[01:52:41]  Catholic University, pictures hanging on the wall of George Floyd depicted as Jesus.
[01:52:49]  It's incredible.
[01:52:50]  One last thing.
[01:52:53]  Notre Dame is being built back better.
[01:52:59]  Now, if you remember, Notre Dame was destroyed by fire when Quasimoto left his torch burning as he went down to look for that hot, hot gypsy woman.
[01:53:15]  So it, I mean, that's probably what it was if Quasimoto was white.
[01:53:20]  That's probably what happened.
[01:53:22]  There was nothing else that could have happened.
[01:53:24]  But Notre Dame is now being built back better as a, quote, woke theme park dedicated to environmentalism and social justice.
[01:53:37]  So I think this is great.
[01:53:39]  They've taken all of the all of the chapels that were, quote, mysteriously burned down in 2019.
[01:53:50]  We still don't have, really?
[01:53:53]  We don't know what burned down the church.
[01:53:55]  That's weird.
[01:53:56]  It's almost like, did you see over the holiday that car that just took a life of its own and went driving all by itself into that parade?
[01:54:10]  It was Herbie the Love Bug, right?
[01:54:12]  I think so.
[01:54:13]  Or Christine.
[01:54:15]  Or, yeah, it could be Christine.
[01:54:16]  Christine.
[01:54:17]  It could be Kit.
[01:54:18]  The Knight Rider car.
[01:54:19]  Kit.
[01:54:19]  We don't know.
[01:54:20]  We don't know.
[01:54:21]  There are lots of those.
[01:54:23]  When we find that car, we better charge that with eight counts of homicide.
[01:54:30]  I didn't even get a chance to get into that.
[01:54:31]  That made my blood mainstream news organizations basically blaming the SUV for the attacks.
[01:54:39]  Blaming the SUV.
[01:54:41]  The Washington Post, I think it was, said that he was running from the scene because running, trying to get away from somebody who was threatening him with a knife.
[01:54:52]  Yeah.
[01:54:53]  Hello?
[01:54:53]  What?
[01:54:54]  It's like immediately that was at odds with the people who were there who saw him swerving at a bunch of people.
[01:55:01]  I knew it when I watched it happen.
[01:55:04]  With the first video I saw, I thought, who's the guy in the van?
[01:55:11]  Who's the guy in or the car?
[01:55:14]  Who's the guy?
[01:55:16]  Who is it?
[01:55:17]  Who is it?
[01:55:18]  That's really the only question I had.
[01:55:21]  Not what kind of car is it?
[01:55:23]  How did that car go out of control by itself?
[01:55:27]  Who was driving the car?
[01:55:30]  If you wanted some actual details on this, I'm going to give you this here real quick.
[01:55:33]  This is the 50 pages of charges that preceded this incident.
[01:55:39]  50 pages of charges.
[01:55:42]  But I mean, he wasn't a child abuser.
[01:55:45]  He wasn't, I mean, he wasn't a guy who tried to run over his girlfriend with the same car.
[01:55:51]  He did.
[01:55:52]  In fact, in the report, it says left a tire track on her left cant leg.
[01:55:59]  With the same vehicle three weeks earlier.
[01:56:02]  Okay, by the way, so you know, that is, it's going to be an upcoming special because you know whose fingerprints are all over this?
[01:56:10]  George Soros.
[01:56:12]  George Soros.
[01:56:14]  Anyway, back to this lovely church.
[01:56:16]  I'm going to do a summary of that point.
[01:56:18]  Yeah.
[01:56:18]  And I'm going to put it for sale on Amazon very soon.
[01:56:22]  A better church.
[01:56:23]  They're building it back better.
[01:56:24]  And there are going to be several different chapels that will be a chapel for social justice and then a chapel for environmental justice.
[01:56:35]  So it's a really great thing, which leads me to this point.
[01:56:42]  The one world government is being formed right now.
[01:56:47]  One world government.
[01:56:49]  It is being formed.
[01:56:51]  It's called the Great Reset.
[01:56:54]  When we think of one world religion, most people are like, oh, one world religion.
[01:57:01]  So the Muslims and the Christians are going to have to be melded into one.
[01:57:08]  How is that going to?
[01:57:09]  I don't think that's what it means by one world religion.
[01:57:12]  I think we're seeing the first church now being dedicated to the new global religion.
[01:57:21]  And it is social justice, environmental justice.
[01:57:25]  It's all this gobbledygook that we all know is not just wrong.
[01:57:32]  It is dangerous.
[01:57:35]  That's the first church.
[01:57:38]  The Cathedral of Notre Dame in France is the first church, the global church.
[01:57:48]  Mark my words.
[01:57:50]  Christians, Jews, you know, Muslims who don't think that you should translate that exactly as written, we're all going to be fine with each other.
[01:58:02]  We're all going to be fine.
[01:58:04]  And we're all going to be able to live next to each other without trying to kill one another.
[01:58:09]  This global church will bring darkness unlike you've ever seen.
[01:58:17]  Back in a minute.
[01:58:22]  What time did you get up for your cyber deals this morning, Stu?
[01:58:26]  2.12 a.m.
[01:58:27]  See, you were late.
[01:58:28]  You were late.
[01:58:29]  I was there at 12.01.

=== Enemy to the Republic (05:28) ===

[01:58:32]  Just, I brought a club because I wanted to beat people for the TV that I wanted.
[01:58:38]  Yeah.
[01:58:38]  And then I realized I can't do that online.
[01:58:41]  Sucks.
[01:58:42]  Cyber Monday sucks.
[01:58:45]  Well, there are people that are, you know, looking at Cyber Monday and going, hey, this is cool.
[01:58:50]  And those are cyber criminals.
[01:58:52]  They are looking for weak passwords, especially while shopping using public Wi-Fi.
[01:58:58]  Criminals love that.
[01:59:00]  They keep a close eye on your accounts for fraud.
[01:59:03]  Make sure that you are staying off of public Wi-Fi when you're shopping, especially if you have a weak password.
[01:59:11]  I mean, hard to guess your cat's name.
[01:59:13]  You know what I mean?
[01:59:14]  You're a cat person.
[01:59:16]  Anyway, every day, these people are out trying to get your information and trying to take your money and destroy your reputation.

[01:59:53]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[01:59:59]  So I just, you know, I had a really interesting time with my son listening to the reports.
[02:00:06]  We were in the car and we were listening to the reports that were just coming out.
[02:00:12]  They were just horrible, horrible stories of the Christmas parade.
[02:00:19]  And we knew, I mean, I knew immediately, but we're in the car and we're listening to the news report.
[02:00:27]  And he's reading it to me, I think from CNN.
[02:00:32]  And he got to the end of it.
[02:00:34]  And I said, okay, so what was missing in that story?
[02:00:38]  And he said, what do you mean?
[02:00:39]  I said, read it again.
[02:00:40]  And it was about the car.
[02:00:43]  And he said, hmm, who was driving the car?
[02:00:48]  I said, yes, isn't that weird?
[02:00:51]  Go search for another story.
[02:00:53]  And he found another story.
[02:00:54]  Same thing.
[02:00:56]  I said, so now why is that not in the story?
[02:01:02]  He said, I don't know.
[02:01:04]  And I said, because it most likely doesn't fit the narrative.
[02:01:08]  We're on the narrative that Rittenhouse is an evil guy.
[02:01:12]  We knew everything about him.
[02:01:15]  The minute that video was taken, we knew everything about him.
[02:01:20]  But this guy, we don't.
[02:01:23]  So we're in the car driving back someplace and we listen to, or he reads a new updated article and he said, they have a suspect.
[02:01:30]  And I said, do they?
[02:01:32]  Do we have any information, his height, his weight, male, female, anything?
[02:01:39]  No, uh-uh.
[02:01:42]  20 minutes goes by.
[02:01:44]  I said, you know, what does that mean?
[02:01:46]  What does that mean?
[02:01:47]  And again, narrative.
[02:01:50]  I said to him, check again, see if they have anything.
[02:01:53]  He not only did, I can't remember the first one.
[02:01:57]  It may have been Fox that released it first, where we were searching.
[02:02:03]  And then he goes back and he sees what time Fox had the information and how they got the information.
[02:02:12]  And then went to ABC and went, dad, they published, ABC published the same story without any of the details at the same time.
[02:02:23]  It was a study in how the media is manipulating everyone.
[02:02:30]  It is this media is an enemy of the people.
[02:02:38]  Really is.
[02:02:39]  It is an enemy to the republic.
[02:02:42]  It feels weird that there's not someone at like the Washington Post that just says, wait a minute, we can't say the SUV killed the people.
[02:02:49]  I know.
[02:02:50]  Is there somebody that just steps up and says, wait a minute, and I think that this is a real battle going on in newsrooms where the media's always been liberal, right?
[02:03:01]  But it was at least staffed by people who wanted to guard the idea of journalistic integrity.
[02:03:07]  They wanted to at least say they had integrity.
[02:03:10]  They wanted people to believe they were covering these stories fairly.
[02:03:13]  Even if they weren't, they wanted people to believe that.
[02:03:16]  Now, they don't care.
[02:03:19]  No, they have they have because I really believe they've convinced themselves that they're the only ones that know the truth.
[02:03:27]  And it's too important.
[02:03:29]  It's too important to play these little games of integrity and fairness and waiting for the facts to come in.
[02:03:37]  It's too this is too important.
[02:03:39]  They've convinced themselves of that, and I don't know that that's going away anytime.
[02:03:43]  So, the week of Rittenhouse, they're not even a week past Rittenhouse and all of their sins.
[02:03:51]  They're still burying Rittenhouse, and then this happens, and they do the exact opposite, but for the same reason.
