Great podcast for you
today.
We took a lot of phone calls,
had some really interesting
questions about COVID,
some different looks.
Stu and I kind of
debated for a while.
Why is it
we feel on the right
that we're losing when in fact
the data is starting to show
we're winning
we're winning we just have to stay the course
and some exciting news
about Kamala Harris
don't know if you've heard she hasn't
been able to get down to the border
because she's been redecorating
her office and it
sounds lovely
while you try to you know
scrape together some money
so you can buy some milk on your way home tonight
let me in the podcast
tell you all about the lovely paintings on her walls.
Hmm.
And don't make...
By the way, he wants a lovely painting for your wall.
Let me recommend glenbeckart.com.
Oh my gosh.
I don't know if Kamala's got one of those.
No.
But if you go to glenbeckart.com,
you can get a print of one of Glenn's paintings.
And you're not going to have to spend the cash for the real ones,
which are...
I almost Hunter Biden levels, honestly, at that point.
You know, like none of the money comes from China.
No, and you can actually paint.
And you don't meet my dad, which would be spooky at this point.
You can check that out, glenbeckart.com.
And I will say, my gift to the art world, you know, Elon Musk was named Person of the Year by Time magazine yesterday.
You can get the Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's person of the year, Taliban Joe Biden, the T-shirt, the mug.
I think you're going to love it.
That's great.
You can get that a Taliban Joe.
Merch.com promo code Glenn 20 will save a 20%.
You're listening to
the best of the best. All right.
Let's get back to the phones.
We had Matthew on from Delaware just a few minutes ago.
And your question again, can you restate it, Matthew?
Yes, pretty much just how do we go forward in trying to talk to people and have
conversations about all these things that we're dealing with when they are
genuinely misinformed about what the situation is, specifically regarding COVID and how the
actual truth about all of this stuff is so hard to get a hold of, and it's constantly being
changed, and kind of all the odds are stacked against us, you know?
So, Matthew, let me go through a couple of things.
First of all, you have to, when you have a discussion with somebody, not an argument, a discussion
with somebody.
Correct.
You need to start with, is, are you set in your ways to where if I provide information
that is factual, that you will reconsider or possibly change your mind?
Because if you do that with me and you have things that I don't know, I'll check into
them.
But if they turn into, if they are facts, then I would be, I would be a horrible,
citizen and really kind of a bad person if I didn't change my mind.
So you need to preface it, right?
You need to preface it with that.
Then you also need to say, because some of these things, most of our problems, you know,
for instance, with coronavirus, my problem is not just, you know, does the vaccine work or
is it a therapeutic, et cetera, et cetera.
Mine is based on the Bill of Rights.
Our biggest problem should be that you're being forced to take it.
If you're not forced to take it, then you take it if you want to.
And that's Bill of Rights.
So I have started all of my discussions with people that I don't know.
Do you believe in the Bill of Rights as written?
If they say no, then you can move on.
now here's the problem you are exactly right when it comes to uh the facts being deleted the facts
changing um but we are living now in a world that is uh if you are uninformed it is self-imposed
and here's what i mean by that back in the 1930s we didn't know if the germans were really
rounding people up even the germans
didn't know for sure, but they were on the edge of self-imposed ignorance.
It only took somebody asking a few questions, you know, it could get you killed,
but asking a few questions.
Here in the West, generally speaking, we didn't know the difference between conspiracy fact
and conspiracy theory.
We didn't know if they were really rounding them up.
We had heard rumors of that.
as they turned out they were true.
But until we had evidence of that, it was a conspiracy theory.
We are now living in a world where we know and have access to the truth.
If you really, what is the difference between us?
Remember, it is our president, President Trump, that was the one behind this vaccine.
He took credit for it.
He deserves credit for it.
in some ways.
And it was, it was his.
They were the ones that were skeptical.
Why did that suddenly flip?
I can tell you when I became against the vaccine, and I've not really against it,
but when I became very skeptical of it, and that is when they started acting so bizarrely
against all reason and when they started forcing people to take it.
When did the other side flip?
When did the other side say, I'm not going to take this vaccine if it comes from Donald Trump?
And then all of a sudden, because it was administered by Joe Biden, they're not willing to question any of it.
So it's all politics.
Now, here's where it really gets, I think, we really get into trouble.
I don't know if you saw the story that came out last week, but that,
lawsuit filed by John Stossel you've been following this too yeah the lawsuit filed by John
Stossel says he was defamed by fact check now fact check is part of something from
Facebook and they they labeled a video that he made as misleading Facebook or met as
attorneys say that Facebook's fact check you ready is an opinion
Not an actual check of the facts and declaration of the facts.
And under the libel law, opinions are protected from liability for libel.
Okay, so here's what they actually filed.
This is the quote from Facebook's complaint.
The label themselves are neither false nor defamatory.
To the contrary, they constitute protected opinion.
Beyond the threshold of Section 230 problem, the complaint and also,
fails to state claim for defamation.
For one, Stoffel fails to plead the facts for establishing that meta acted with actual malice,
which is a public figure he must.
For another, Stossel claims focus on the fact check articles written by climate feedback,
not the labels affixed through the Flafe Facebook platform.
The labels themselves are neither false nor defamatory.
To the contrary, they constitute, and I'm quoting, protected opinion.
This is something that you need to share with your friends.
You need to have this almost printed up in a little card that you keep with with you.
This is Facebook's defense on against the defamation claim of John Stossel.
John Stossel says this is not misleading.
These are the facts.
So fact check.
out and said, no, that's misleading.
John knows the facts.
No, it's not misleading.
These are the facts.
And he went to court to challenge them on the facts.
And what did Facebook do so they wouldn't lose a lot of money?
They said, those are protected opinions, not actual facts that Facebook was providing.
So it's amazing what laws.
suits reveal. Yeah, it really is. It really is. So how can protected opinion trump and be the
final word on facts? I know what I can and can't say, you know, in the Facebook rules. I know.
However, fact check that are merely opinions hurt my credibility, my name, my distribution.
I'm made into a conspiracy theorist or somebody who is sloppy on the facts.
I know when it comes to the coronavirus, we will admit anything that we get wrong, but we work
really hard to get it right.
We don't go off half-cocked.
When we know we're posting something, when I know I'm saying something outside of an opinion,
I want to make sure that we have facts.
And I use facts to back up my opinion.
But my opinion is just that.
An opinion.
Not a fact.
The fact that I said the opinion.
Now that's a fact.
But I mean, it's an opinion.
And when opinions trump facts,
civilizations cannot stand.
When the Germans denied the gas chambers and said they were all conspiracy theories,
well, it could have been a conspiracy theory because it was only backed up by whispers,
questions, and theories.
But when we had photographs, documents, and eyewitnesses,
only fools or knaves would deny those things.
and we call those people Holocaust deniers because they are denying the fact of the Holocaust
now the problem here is with the left this is all by design cast sunstein who was working
for the president president Obama advocated and still advocates calling everyone who disagrees with let's say
critical race theory.
They claim that that's a conspiracy theory.
Critical race theory?
It's not being taught in schools.
How many times have you heard that?
It's not being taught in schools.
That's a conspiracy theory.
That's Cass Sunstein.
That is the recommendation by Cass Sunstein to the administration and to the left
to label people conspiracy theories, quote,
even if the claim or the charge ends up being true.
We know you can't call milk or meat organic without standards.
Why?
Because if it's just an opinion, no, this is my opinion.
It's organic.
That label means nothing.
Nothing.
We cannot call a vaccine a therapeutic.
And you can't call a therapeutic a vaccine.
until recently without a very good reason.
That one really makes no sense.
Who cares what you call it?
Honestly, like the whole complaint they have are people that are against vaccines.
Probably calling it a therapeutic would benefit everybody.
Sure would.
If they really want people to take it.
So how can Facebook claim they're checking facts when their facts are, when their facts are merely opinion?
The damage can't be undone.
And this is why your friends won't believe.
you. It's a well-orchestrated plan. All documented. Read cast stunts. Just look them up. Read Cass
Sunstein. This was well- orchestrated. Read rules for radicals. It says the same thing. And your friends,
if they won't go in and look at the other side, and I say the same thing about you, if you are presented with
facts that you can go and check and you're not willing to change your mind if they prove to be true,
well, then you've joined a religion.
And that is the problem.
Wokism is a religion.
The Democrats have given over the party to religious zealots.
They are revolutionaries and they ask for faith.
not facts.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Let me go to Susan in Ohio.
Hello, Susan.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Hello.
Well, I'm concerned about the inflation and the impact that the impact it has on me this year.
I'm really concerned about the effects of inflation and the middle class families
as it begins to take away all their assets, all the generational growth.
I think we don't talk enough about that.
I know we want things immediate,
but I would like just please talk a little bit more
about the loss of family farms and businesses
and what happens from one generation to the next.
Right.
I think that those are not solely tied to inflation.
Inflation will,
your nest egg will go away
because if your salary doesn't go up with,
inflation, then you're going to have to start dipping into your savings, so your savings goes away.
If we start working in a world where, as the president keeps saying, well, you've got to pay your
people more.
If you do that in an high inflation period, which we are in now, if you do that, you start the
inflation spiral.
Wages go up and thus, prices continue to go up.
And so you're constantly battling.
That's why when you ordered food in a restaurant of, in Germany, you paid for it when you ordered.
I would like a cup of coffee, please.
It's a quarter.
Great.
Here's the quarter.
Because 15 minutes later, 30 minutes later, when it got so bad, it might be 35 cents for that cup of coffee.
So you paid when you ordered.
That's the inflation spiral.
And that's going to happen.
But when it comes to losing your family farm, that's more than just inflation.
You're going to lose farms because people can't afford it.
But there are things that are going on in the United States right now and the government
that are going to take those family farms.
They are going to start limiting those farms.
They're going to start regulating those farms.
They're going to tax them to death.
remember the goal of the Great Reset is by 2030 you will own nothing well how do you get a society
that is built on ownership private ownership how do you get that society to not own anything
you bankrupt it that's what you do you bankrupt it thanks for your phone call susan um so what do you
where do you see the economy going here for example one of the things that i don't think a lot
people are talking about is since COVID started, the Trump administration basically turned off
the requirement to pay your student loans, you know, and they said, okay, you know, we're in the
middle of a pandemic. You don't have to pay your student loans right now. Turn the interest rates
down to zero. Let's ride this out. And so that's been extended multiple times by first the Trump
administration and then into the Biden administration. Biden is now saying that come next year,
it's over, right? I think it's January. You're now going to have to start making those payments a lot.
Again, and you think about all the money that people owe, and they've had this ramp of not paying it,
now these payments turn back on in the middle of a very disconcerting economic time. So that turns on,
inflation is there, all of this backlog with the supply chain, all working together at the same time.
What does that look like?
A mess.
It's why you're not hearing anybody saying, oh, well, this year's been bad, but next year will be better.
There's no way.
I can't wait for 2020.
Yeah.
You're not hearing that.
And I think that's because people know.
You've got something else that you have to pile on here.
People are going to be watching what the Fed decides to do this week because the Fed has to raise interest rates and they also have to taper.
And what they've been doing, and we've been telling you this since 2008, what they've been doing is they've been buying our federal debt, okay?
Instead of selling it to countries, no country will buy it.
So the Fed has been buying that debt, which just adds to their balance sheet.
Then they've been printing money as well, and they've been shipping that money to the banks.
and the banks have been using it to buy stocks and everything else so they can they can put their
balance sheet in order you have had these bailouts going out going on really since 2008 and it
just kept getting worse and worse and worse they're tapering all of that now which means they're
turning that tap of cash off that's really flowing into the market so they have to turn that off
when they turn that off, that's going to cause problems with the bank.
It's going to cause problems in the stock market.
It's going to cause all kinds of problems because the money flow from the Fed, not the
federal government, from the Fed is tapering off.
Then they're going to also raise interest rates, which they have to do.
The way you fight inflation is to raise interest rates.
But no one on earth has ever tried.
to suck this much money back into the system, get it back to the federal reserve and the treasury
so it can be destroyed.
No one in the history of the world has ever tried that.
In 1980, Paul Volker got our interest rates up to, I think, 15 or I believe the highest was 19.
It might have been 15, but I believe it was 19%.
19%. We are now at about 3%. You want a mortgage?
3%. You need a loan for your small business.
3%, 5%. 8% if you're in real bad way.
19%. That was in 1980.
What is it going to take to get this inflation down after dumping a little?
$11 trillion out into the world.
We have to suck that all back.
The problem is when you suck all of that stuff back, it makes money scarce.
That will make inflation go down.
Okay.
And you worry about a deflationary period where people can't afford anything so the prices
cave.
This is an incredible balance that I'm not sure they can do.
and we're doing it at the worst possible time.
Because we've made things so bad that if you don't have people who are willing to work,
you're going to have inflation.
If you then add extra salary to people to get them to work, that adds inflation.
Then if you take the money from the corporations through loans to build new.
jobs and to expand, jobs start to become more and more scarce.
And you're just in this cycle that just spins into the drain.
I think we're in for real, real trouble over the next year to, I think it could be until
a Republican gets back into into power.
And we have a sane Senate and House.
And I'm not saying that's a Republican.
one. It's just more sane than the Democrats. But until we start doing the right thing consistently
and are willing to accept the pain that is coming from all of these horrible decisions,
it's just going to keep getting worse. This kind of goes back to what the earlier caller was saying.
You know, you mentioned the Reagan situation. And there's no better way to emphasize,
I suppose, that conservative policies are better than by implementing liberal ones.
Right. When they get into office and they do the things that they want to do, people tend to wake up and say, wow, we really don't want that. We brought this up with defund the police earlier, right? Minneapolis is like, ah, we'll defund the police. Holy crap. Let's, let's rethink that a little bit. And it happens pretty quickly. But we were, but we at the time, we're arguing theories. Right. And now we have evidence. Now we have evidence. And that's what's waking people up. But this is something that has been bothering me for a while, though. In all these.
conversations, including this previous caller, who basically said, if you missed it, he said,
you know, we need some chaos. And he explained a little nuanced explanation of that. But basically,
we, we need to let these things happen. We need to try these sort of things. We need to fight.
We need to do all these things that maybe aren't consistent with our principles per se,
but we need to win right now because we're always losing. And that is like an undercurrent of
of almost every conservative, it seems,
that we're always losing,
these things are always rolling over us
and we never do anything
and therefore we have to change everything
that we're doing and try these new tactics
and get a little wild.
Like, let's try some stuff.
And I don't know that's so pervasive
on the right right now.
But when you look at what's actually happening,
these, for example, the vaccine mandates
are not happening because we're out in the streets
causing chaos.
They're being overturned because the courts are overturning them because they're unconstitutional.
Right.
And that's largely because of a long-term conservative legal project that has resulted in a lot of good judges that actually know what the Constitution says.
We can thank a lot of this.
We can put the thanks on Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump.
Yeah.
And it goes back further than that as well.
Yeah.
But it's, but it's been a, that's a success story, right?
The possibility of Roe versus Wade being overturned.
And again, I'm not counting those.
This is a weird way to talk about eggs and hatching because of the topic matter.
I'm not counting that as a win.
But the fact that it's even possible is because of a long-term project.
So why is, why, why do conservatives feel this pervasive sense of losing when it does seem like we're winning?
Because I think conservatives, well, I think everybody generally is.
Let me give you this example.
Remember I said yesterday, we don't buy when it's cheap.
We buy at the top.
Buy high, sell, low.
Yeah, when housing market goes crazy, you're like, I got to get a house.
I got to get a house.
I mean, this is crazy.
Yeah, and you're buying it way too late.
you're always behind the curve, okay?
You buy low, you sell high.
We do the opposite.
The same thing is true.
You know, things are lagging indicators.
We are a lagging indicator.
There are other indications that show we're winning,
but we don't feel it yet.
I think we are,
we have been looking at the mainstream media as a barometer
for a very long time, that hasn't changed.
That's a really bad barometer, okay?
And they're not changing at all.
So we look at that and we see, you know,
all of the shows on TV and everything else.
We're like, we're surrounded by this.
And we're not looking at what are the ratings?
What's the health of these companies?
How many people are watching them?
how many people believe them anymore.
Their credibility is in the toilet.
I think if it's not single digits,
it's almost single digits with their credibility now.
So they don't have any credibility left.
When you look at all of these policies that we've been arguing about in theory,
you can't reimagine the police.
We now have the evidence and those policies are now being reversed.
You can't just spend money like crazy.
Well, that's now being shown true because of the economy.
You can't teach this to our kids.
Well, we're not teaching it.
We don't believe you.
And the media cannot convince us that you're telling us the truth because we know the truth.
We're seeing it.
We are winning on multiple fronts right now.
And this is a new feeling that I had.
was really, really worried about losing and thought there are no way out, no way out.
There is.
There is.
And it's already happening.
It's the American people standing up who are awake and others waking up because they're starting to feel real pain.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Stu, we were talking last hour about this feeling that we are.
are losing somehow.
Yeah, you get this a lot from conservatives right now who just obviously we're in a tough time
and a lot of things have gone wrong over the past couple of years.
And there's a sort of pervasive sense of constant losing.
You know, the example I hear all the time is this example of like, you know,
we can't just sit here and like let people have trends, you know, trans, what was it,
the story time, you know, drag queen story time.
Yeah, drag queen.
story time. And like, yeah, of course, I would agree. It's not a not a good thing for our society.
Although, you know, I will say it's not a recognizable part of my life. You know, I know, I live in Texas
where there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of pushback. Maybe if you're living in, you know,
downtown Portland, the libraries are quite different. But it does seem that there's this sense of
we're constantly in this state of losing where like, you know, we're only, I mean, in 2021,
Donald Trump was president.
That was still going on in this year, right?
Obviously, we're seeing the results of some of the judges, and I think the legal system
is held up pretty well when it comes to all the crazy challenges that the left has
brought to it in the later parts of this year.
That's been, I think, a positive.
And what's happening, I think, now, everywhere from Afghanistan to inflation is people
are seeing the results.
of what happens when you go the other way.
And that is likely to lead to positive things pretty soon down the road.
Now, we've also talked about how far ahead many times progressives are with things like ESG
and it makes you really doubt what the future can hold.
But we also should recognize that a lot of these things that we've tried to do over the years
have worked pretty well.
And we've pushed back and won a lot of these battles too.
It's not a constant state of losing.
The left isn't, you know, it's, this is not, it's not Samson, in a way it is Samson, but you know what I mean?
It's not this unbelievable, impossible victory for conservatives.
We, we succeed more than I think we give ourselves credit for.
Well, we have, especially recently.
I mean, you know, there is, Donald Trump succeeded.
He succeeded probably better than any other president.
president in my lifetime in getting real, some real changes made. For instance, the Middle East is the
biggest, the biggest thing. And he demonstrated a couple of things. One, you can support Israel and not
have the world come against you. You can move the embassy there. But you can also get the people
in the Middle East to start siding with Israel and against Hamas, Hezbollah.
and terror.
And he had a historic peace deal.
Now it's falling apart.
You don't have to negotiate with terrorists.
You don't have to give them money to get them to comply with you far as Iran.
You can end wars.
You don't need to have these endless ongoing wars.
What you need to do is go in and have.
hammer the bats knought out of him and then move on and that's how he killed the caliphate you have um you have
people now in uh in the conservative movement that are looking at possible war with china possible war
with um with russia and you have people who have always been very very america first and let's go get
them that are saying i don't want war i don't want war let's let's let's let's
mind our own business here.
Let's take care of America.
And thus, if we set a good example, we will change the world.
That's new.
We're not so hawkish as we were.
Some of these things are game changing for the Republicans.
Here's something else.
We don't trust the Republicans before we had, you know, these,
these rhinos that were running Michael Steele that were running the Republican Party.
Now I think you have voters, Republican voters, that if they had another option,
somebody that they believed would actually go buck their own party, if need be,
to stop playing the same game, they'd vote for them and they'd want them in.
They want to get rid of these clowns.
in office and it's more mature than it was with the tea party we know how the game is played now
and we don't trust that you're just going to be elected and then you're going to go and do it
we watch you now the other thing is is we have been playing uh the game and i i see this one firsthand
i've been telling you that there are marxists in our government and and and in the
Democratic Party for the last 20 years.
And it has been laughed, mocked, and ridiculed.
I've been called a conspiracy theorist.
I've been called a racist for saying that the president was a Marxist.
I've been called all kinds of names.
You notice nobody's denying now that Marxists are involved in our government,
that Marxists are trying to overthrow the United States,
that this revolution is truly a revolution?
Notice not a lot of people now in the middle are denying that it seems as though the Democratic Party
has been taken over by radicals and revolutionaries.
That was unheard of.
That's a huge, huge change.
Again, have you noticed that the press isn't listened to?
Have you noticed that Jimmy Kimmel or who was it this week?
Fallon gets the president on and he's talking about the economy and nobody is buying into this economy lie.
And nobody's watching Fallon.
Nobody's watching Kimmel.
Certainly nobody's watching a bunch of dancing syringes.
Oh, that was terrible.
You don't have the power of SNL anymore.
more because it's not funny.
It's just not funny.
And it's gone through periods of not being funny,
but it has now just given into we are a propaganda arm.
That's all we're supposed to do is hold up the right people and make fun of the wrong
people as the woke crowd decides.
America isn't having any of that.
That's a huge change.
You're seeing movies, like we talked about earlier.
Movies are now starting to become what Christian movies used to be.
Christian movies used to be like, okay, I got it, I got it.
Stop being so preachy, right?
Yeah.
And so they always sucked.
This now, that's what's happening to the left.
The left is starting to make that Santa Claus thing on HBO.
What is that?
That claymation by Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen.
Rogan. It's awful. It's awful because they've forgotten that it's entertainment that is much more
important than the message. You can't get anybody to listen to the message. And yet we are now
starting to understand entertainment and our message is gaining strength because, A, we are starting
to learn how to tell stories on the right. And B, the things that we've always talked about that were
conspiracy theories or only theories are now being proven to be true.
I say something now, and it used to take, you know, 10 years before you would see it.
I can tell you now about the Great Reset and tell you that I think we're really, really behind
the eight ball.
But three months later, they've called it a conspiracy theory and they're discredited
because they are actually implementing it.
And the banks are now doing these things.
And you can point to them.
And people are paying attention to it.
We are winning because people are waking up and the sides are flipping.
They, they had the conservatives down because they said it's all about Jesus and God.
And they're forcing you to live like Jesus wants you to live.
Okay.
That's how they, that's how they destroyed us.
well, they are forcing people into their religion and people are understanding their religion is not based on facts.
It is a faith-based religion.
Just believe Fauci.
That's different than science.
Believe Fauci.
Believe what we say.
Deny what your eyes are showing you.
Deny what your ears are hearing.
deny what your wallet is saying
every time you go to the grocery store
deny those things and believe us
it's not going to last
you can't spin your way out of
milk being triple the cost
you can't you can't the media doesn't have that sort of power
but let me ask you this
this sort of sprung from a conversation
I had with my wife on this idea
that there's just this feeling of despair
among the American people at times
you know part of this obviously is COVID
from both sides you know people
losing loved ones and people having to deal with crazy restrictions and losing their livelihoods and
all the things associated with it. And that's part of this era that I don't think you can separate.
But, you know, it was after the, the Wisconsin parade incident where the guy, where that SUV ran over
all those people, Glenn, or the out of control SUV. We said SUVs we were going to kill all the
planet and there it is. But after that happened, my wife, you know, we were going back and forth,
I think, on text on it. And she said something like, you know, what is this world coming to?
I can't believe what is this.
And that's a totally rational, like, reaction to a madman running over a bunch of people at a Christmas parade, obviously.
But then I, as I started thinking about it myself a little bit, we, that very same weekend, had gone to a Christmas parade slash festival type of thing.
Unafraid.
And it was unafraid.
And it was awesome.
We had a great time.
Our community was gathered.
there were people from, I'm sure, all over the political spectrum there,
but everyone was great, and we had a great time, and we loved it.
And at the same weekend, probably tens of thousands of communities
had similar events that were fantastic, and everybody loved them,
and they all left happy, and they, you know, they had their hot cocoa,
and their kids were, you know, wide-eyed looking at Santa Claus,
and all the things that happened all over the country.
for so many people.
And almost all of them were not at this one parade that we all know about that was
legitimately tragic and horrible.
And we need to,
you know,
we need to worry about and stop,
of course.
But it doesn't affect,
you know,
it probably did not affect your life.
It was a really terrible thing that happened.
And it gave the sense to even my wife who,
and myself,
who were at really wonderful events,
that same weekend,
that the whole society was falling apart.
And, I mean, in reality, that's not true, right?
It is not true.
How do we stop that?
We stop listening.
And it's happening.
We stop listening to the coasts.
We stop listening to the coasts.
We can't not talk about that event.
We can't not cover it.
It's not the media saying, okay, well, don't worry about that.
They seem to not want to talk about the Wisconsin parade, right?
Because it didn't feed their narratives.
Which is.
waking even more people up.
The ones who responded, the ones who helped,
the ones who are talking about it,
were talking about it,
those generally speaking are the conservatives,
the conservative movement.
The ones who are ignoring this clear tragedy
and a flaw in their own thinking,
their own system,
they brought this upon this community.
They're not talking about it.
And by not talking about it, the people are noticing, especially the people in the town.
Wait a minute.
How come nobody's talking about us?
How come nobody's paying attention?
Yeah.
How come the news rooms in America just abandoned that story?
People are waking up and noticing.
That's the most important thing.
That's what I've been saying for years.
wake up America, wake up, wake up, wake up.
Once you awake this sleeping giant, it's a giant and it wins.
So is it important to have those things together?
Being awake, noticing what's going on, understanding the world, but also keeping it in perspective.
I mean, I think that's a difficult thing for people to do when they're barraged by it constantly on social media and everything else.
Well, that's why I think it's important for people like us to ring the bell of alarm, but also talk about our successes.
You know, I did not feel this way three months ago.
I didn't feel this way, three, four months ago.
I just didn't think we had it in us.
I was giving up on the American people.
I'm not there now.
I really truly believe
we are well positioned
for a win
