is not one we all die in. But we're remembered well, huh, Stu? Wouldn't that be great? End of this podcast, Glenn and Stu died. But what a way to go out. Today we're going to talk to you a little bit about the alamo of freedom, the alamo of truth.

And we've got a lot of people like John Solomon on to talk about the truth. He's just been cleared by the hill. All of those stories he wrote about Hunter Biden, Russia, Ukraine, Donald Trump, all the truth that he wrote about that was discredited by people like, you know, what's his name, Adam Schiff and the media. The Hill has finally finished their work now three years later and said, oh, by the way, yeah, that was all true. There were no errors in that. Amazing.

Yeah, we also have Daniel Horowitz on with us, James Lindsay is on to talk about what he says is grooming, and I didn't necessarily agree with him on that word, but I completely do now what's happening in our schools. wait until you hear his explanation. And we reveal this during the show, but for you podcast listeners, we give me to you right up here at the top.

But before that, a brand new stew does America. Don't miss it. You're listening to the best of the Glenback program. All right. Let me, let me, let me, let me start with something that has come out just a few days ago. and it revolves around John Solomon. John Solomon is an award-winning journalist.

He has been in the business forever, and he has been horribly smeared by tech and by the mainstream media for telling the truth. He just published a statement because he has been under investigation at the Hill, where he was hired to be the main guy to run their digital work. And he started printing stories about Ukraine and about Hunter Biden and what was going on and also the laptop. So the Hill said, we've got to get rid of him.

We're going to have to review everything that he does and says. Well, the Hill has published an update to review. all of the work that he did in Ukraine, his reporting and other articles. They did not find a conflict of interest. Also, the Hill's Newsroom Review did not identify a single factual error in any of his columns. Indeed, after months of digging into claims from liberal media and impeachment witnesses that my reporting was false, the Hill found nothing. false in my reporting. They didn't interview him,

but why would you do that when you're trying to get to the truth? Why would you interview the principal person involved? Seems like too much work. Yeah, it does, but it doesn't matter. They have cleared all of his reporting. Now, how much damage has this done? To John, I don't think very much because he started just the news.com, and I will tell you, it is a go-to source every day for me.

You want real journalism, real reporting, just the news.com, does it? John Solomon joins us now. Hi, John. Great to be with you guys. Yeah, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. And listen, you know, you're only as good as your next door.

You know that, Glenn, so we're always working for the next story. I know. The truth of the matter is the avalanche of facts that were held behind the dam of censorship, which, by the way, at your Reagan dinner speech at CPAC, you really hit it on the head about the danger of the censorship. you know what, the dam is breaking and the facts are overflowing and overrunning the dam now. And soon the American people are going to know the truth in spite of the news media. And that's a good thing for all of us. So just so the audience knows, because I think these are all, I mean, these are earth-shattering,

now all confirmed. Top Ukrainian justice officials says the U.S. ambassador gave him a do-not-prosecute list. That's huge. Been denied over and over again. the ambassador is clearly a liar on this. Senior Ukrainian official says he opened a probe into U.S. election interference. As Russian collusion fades, a Ukrainian plot to help Clinton emerges. U.S. embassy pressed Ukraine to drop of George Soros during the 2016 election.

Joe Biden's 2020, Ukrainian nightmare. A closed probe is reversed. revived Ukrainians to U.S. prosecutors. Why don't you want our evidence on the Democrats? How Obama White House engaged Ukraine to give Russia collusion narrative an early boost. Ukrainian embassy confirms DNC contractor solicited Trump dirt in 2016. God. FBI warned early and often that Manafort file might be fake, but they used it anyway. How Mueller deputy Andrew Weissman's offer to an oligarch could be. boomerang on the DOJ.

I mean, this just goes on and on. Those stories, somebody has to pay a price because those people are still in this administration, many of them, and doing possibly this or worse because nobody's paid a price. Yeah, you couldn't have said a better good. That's really it. And here's the thing, all of that smoke, all of those stories and the counterattacks against me and Peter Shryson. think about this. There were people in the news media calling Peter Schweitzer a conspiracy theorist.

This guy is the best researcher in American history. It doesn't do any better. But you know what? All of that incoming fire was to keep us from the truth of what we really wanted to get, which was that Hunter Biden was running an influence peddling scheme, enriching his family, cashing in on his father's name. And the other day, I put together a story that I think is my favorite one of the last four or five years. It looks at how, as the war is beginning in Ukraine, the first war when Russia invaded in 2014 on Obama Biden's watch. As they're taking over Crimea, Hunter Biden is sitting with his business partners saying, all right, let's get one oligarch on each side of this conflict and let's go make some money. So he goes to Yelena Batarina, a billionaire Russian

oligarch, and then goes to Nikola Zolchewski, the Burisma owner. And they're working to get both of them to pay them lots of money. And they actually write in the middle of this scheme, because that's really what it is, this is going to be life-changing for us, meaning the amount of money they're going to get, as long as Ukraine doesn't fall to Russia before we get our money. They literally knew they were hedging a bet on the war to enrich the Biden machinery, and you go through all of the emails. Hunter Biden is on a first-name basis with the Russian oligarch. He's working for a company that his father's own administration considers corrupt. It's all okay. because it was a great way for them to make money.

The idea that Hunter Biden, the vice president's son, is profiteering off a Russian war on Ukraine. The first one is really the ultimate thing that all of those people who are attacking us were trying to hide. They didn't want that story out there. Now it's out there. So, John, by the way, congratulations. That is a tremendous story.

The oligarch, the Russian oligarch, is that the Moscow mayor's wife? Sure was. You're right. Yeah. The one that remember a few months ago, many a year ago it is, all the Democrats and their Democratic media allies were saying there's no evidence that Hunter Biden was in contact or it had nothing to do with it. Now, the only evidence up to that was it, Ron Johnson and Greg Chuck Crowsy showed a $3.5 million payment from that. Well, we just put a new document up. It is the board minutes of one of Hunter Biden's company. It's called Burnham. According to Burnham, Hunter Biden was a vice president. Devin Archer, his convicted sidekick is the head of it. In this board minutes, in the summer of 2014, they boast that Yelena Batarina didn't give them $3.5 million. She gave them $200 million. That is a document that the FBI seized, a document the FBI is put into court files.

Good luck trying to find any mainstream media that was willing to appear that. But Hunter Biden was calling Batarina by her first name. meeting with her at a hotel, scheming up ideas to tap her money for real estate deals and other things, a COCO initiative in Latin America. And when he's talking about the COCO initiative, he and Devin Archer joke, maybe we can get some money for Petro Poroshenko,

the Ukrainian president, by the way, Ukrainian president who fired the prosecutor at Joe Biden's request. Hunter Biden was on a first-name basis. And a year ago, the Democrats were telling us there was nothing that connected them. They were lying. So, John, may I take you into possibly you have information on this, but probable speculation. What, so what is happening really in Ukraine now? I mean, this is, I believe that, you know, Putin, I don't know, misjudged or whatever, and went into Ukraine.

And there's nothing bogus there. but with all of the with all of the facts and all of the really nasty stuff really tied directly to Biden and Clinton there is is there anything else do you think possibly going on is is evidence being destroyed is there anything probably not listen it's hard to erase evidence today right because there's so many digital copies about digital copies and someone's hacked it somewhere along the way. Listen, I think the war, the second invasion of Ukraine on Joe Biden's watch, because the first one also occurred on his watch when he was VP in charge of the region, is a reflection of three things. One, that Vladimir Putin has always thought Joe Biden to be weak.

So if you're going to do something, you always wanted to do, do it on the weak guys watch. The second part is, and Devin Nunes said this on my television show last night, and it's really resonated in my mind all night. into the morning today. He said that, listen, the greatest crime of the Russia collusion scandal, the effort by Hillary Clinton to hang a fake story on Donald Trump, is that it handicapped two or three years of the presidency of Donald Trump. And Donald Trump had an opportunity to realign the relations between Russia and Ukraine. He was willing to give lethal aid to Ukraine, which Obama was too chicken to do. He was willing to sanction Putin. And he probably would have been willing to get a sort of grand

bargained between the two sides that would lower the tensions. But because Russia collusion took Russia off the table for the president, he and his team couldn't execute a peace to strength policy. And as a result, Joe Biden gets in, and now we're doing peace to appeasement. And we see what happens when we go peace to appeasement, the European model. The bullies, like Putin, get aggressive. And we sit back and we're counterpunching at best. I think what Devin Nunes was trying to say is all these scandals that were faked by the media kept President Trump from maybe creating a lasting peace solution like he did in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords. Very interesting way to look at the last five years of history. All right. Back with John Solomon. If you can hang with me,

give me one minute. We'll be back with John Solomon, author of Fallout and CEO, editor-in-chief of Justthe-News.com, something that you should check for news every single day. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. I am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of relief factor. I'm one of them. I was in pained and got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore. Anybody else feel like, you know, I just can't get up another day? We have our life back because of relief factor.

It's not a television commercial. It's a group of real people with real results that had real pain. Try it yourself. Relief Factor. This guy when he started, completely bald. Look at him now. Doesn't do anything for your hair. But it will help you. Get out of pain.

Give it a shot. Try the three-week quick start. It doesn't work. Move on. But we're here to tell you it works. Relieffactor.com. Hello, American. and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you about the Alamo. The Alamo really wasn't Davy Crockett's fight. It wasn't the guys who went there. They were from Kentucky. And they came in because they knew what it was supposed to be like to be free. And they saw the fight at the Alamo, and they related and, and stood for the Mexicans that were in the Alamo,

and they all decided, you know what? This is where the line in the sand is. That's literally where that came from. Drawing a line in the sand. Those on that side, no hard feelings. You can leave. Those on this side, we're staying, and we all know what that means.

The Alamo is the blaze. it is we we plan on standing even if we're the last man standing we're standing and we're going to stand for the things that we know to be true now social media is hammering the blaze right now and the hosts that are on the blaze and i mean hammering unlike we have been hammered uh and that's fine it's not going to change us but we do ask i built this platform so that we could survive, but we won't survive without your support. The way to get our message out to people through social media is dying. We can still reach our fans one way or another with other social media. But you're only getting, if you're depending on Facebook or anything else, you're getting

probably maybe one out of every 10 messages and stories we send out, maybe, maybe. And we have now been throttled and demonetized because one of our hosts disagreed with global warming and what they were proposing. Wow, I always thought that was a right to free speech, but I guess not. You can't deny that anymore. and one of our other hosts who I absolutely love is asking questions about Hunter Biden. And this is Daniel Horowitz. Now, Daniel has done a lot of work on COVID and agree or disagree with Daniel. He is sincere.

I don't think he knows anybody knows this, but he's up in the middle of the night during COVID calling people who are fans or, you know, watchers of him or readers, helping them find doctors and helping them and really listening. He cares deeply about what he says and what he does and the people who read his work or watch his work. Well, he has just come out with an opinion that they just don't like or not even opinion, questions they just don't like. And that is Hunter Biden's role in the Ukrainian bio labs. wait a minute

Were we doing gain of function stuff over there too? Now, we're being penalized because he's speaking out. This is the frickin Alamo. For anybody who just wants to run, fine. But we're drawing a line in the sand. And so let me double down. Daniel Horowitz is here to ask those questions on this program as well. Hello, Daniel.

Hey, Glenn, great to be here in the trenches and the Alamo with you. Thank you. There weren't any trenches at the Alamo, but I'm going to let that slide. So, Daniel, tell me what you have found and the questions that it has led you to. Well, I think to begin with, we need to ask the basic question two years into this pandemic. Why is it that we still don't know anything about where it came from? and nor is there any effort to find out where it came from. Obviously, you and I have dug into this and other independent people have, but our government doesn't seem to be too concerned to find out about the thing that destroyed the entire world.

If you remember after 9-11, we circled in on airport security, because that's at least at a surface level, where the terrorist attacks emanated from, and we redress that issue, whether you agree or disagree with what we did. Here, there is no desire to even account for where in the world are we engaging in game of function research, what sort of research, and why are we still doing it? Well, it turns out the next current thing, after COVID, which is Ukraine, seems to tie back into that. We all know that EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Dasik, seemed to be articulating five to seven years ago the creation of a virus that sounds awfully similar to what we now know with SARS-CoV-2,

they had a partner called Metabioda, another biotech company based in San Francisco that was created last decade, and they run these biolabs in Ukraine and engage in research of zoonotic viruses to see if they jumped to humans and had to make them more pathogenic. Well, it happens to be Metabiodo was not just... funded by Rosemont, which is Hunter Biden's investment firm, it turns out he was so close with them that he almost sublet his offices to them. He traded emails back and forth. This is what the UK Daily Mail learned from an April 4th, 2014 email. 2014 is a very important year. Your last guest just talked about that. That was the year of the color revolution backed by our government

in Ukraine, that they were going to work with Metabioda to a certain. Ukraine's cultural and economic independence from Russia. And another email showed that he would work with barisma and medibiota on a science project. And it's really in, it really is. He refers to it. And so do the other members refer to it as a Ukrainian science project. What the hell is that? Well, exactly, what is a corrupt oil and gas company related to former Ukrainian

government officials have to do with Metabioda, an American biotech company, selling pandemic risk insurance, but then somehow also running labs and somehow knowing when pandemics are going to come out. Last year, in 2020, Metabioda put out a statement that is about a 50% chance within the next few years of a pandemic much more deadly than COVID coming out. That same year in 2014, So you have to remember, Metabiodo was running labs in Therlione during the outbreak of Ebola in Africa, and they were cited in a CBS investigative report

by CDC and WHO officials for running dangerous operations. People didn't want to get anywhere near there. So Metabiota CEO Nathan Wolfe, who co-authored a lot of papers with Bat Lady and Peter Dasick on that very similar, research, he wrote a couple months later, 2014, a very important year, while Ebola won't be the next global strain, there are viruses out there that could be coronavirus and influenza viruses, for example, show that some viruses truly can spread around the

world in ways that will blindside and impact our entire planet. So they sure seem to know what they were doing. We know that the DTRA under the Defense Department, funded that $80 million worth of biological research. They've given about $18 million to medibiota to stand up these biolabs. Again, put aside your feelings for Zelensky and Putin and the geopolitical conflict surrounding Ukraine. But from an American standpoint, we just went through a pandemic that we're still going through. Aren't we a bit concerned about what exactly is being done there? with these zoonotic viruses, and how do we know that this is not the next Wuhan?

So they would say that the $18.4 million from the U.S. Defense threat reduction agency is money to get rid of anything that was bad that the Russians had in those labs early on, you know, to get rid of any of the, you know, nuclear or any gas supplies or, or, biological supplies that were there left over from the Cold War. That's what they'll tell you. Sure. And indeed, in 1991, that was the non-Lugar program

to go and destroy the WMDs left over by the Russians. But the problem is, in the ensuing decade in the 2000s, Black and Beach Special Projects is a DTRA contractor that worked with Metabioda. They actually built a number of facilities, new facilities for the study of pathogens that can be used in bioterrorism attacks. And also, we find out from some of these emails here that in 2016, October 2016,

there was a meeting involving U.S. military officials, Ukrainian counterparts, Black and Beach, and Metabiotos staff that worked on projects researching surveillance and diagnostics of a number of dangerous zoonotic diseases, including hemorrhury, phobragic fevers and avian influenza. Good. God. Why are they doing that? What does that have to do with the old Soviet era WMD project? It sounds more like they're constructing rather than deconstructing. Yeah. This is so dangerous. And you are absolutely right to ask these questions.

These are the questions that we should be asking ourselves right now. But really, life and death questions. Should we be involved in gain of research, a great gain of function research. My answer is absolutely not. But the connection between Hunter Biden, Burisma, and these bio labs is equally disturbing and needs to be answered. And it also raises questions, is that the reason why our government doesn't seem to be too concerned? about researching this. I mean, you listen to them all along the last two years, and COVID was the worst thing that ever hit humanity, and it required the response that they pursued with lockdowns

and mandates and all this stuff. But then when it comes to finding out where did it come from, I mean, usually when you have a calamity, the first thing is to, you know, have some sort of Pearl Harbor, Harbor, 9-11 commission to figure out where it came from and how to prevent it. Somehow they don't seem to be too concerned about that. And that's what it makes. you wonder, are they protecting a high-valued individuals? Because if this was just some sort of Chinese venture with no involvement from the U.S. government, the Defense Department, and U.S. NGOs, why wouldn't they want to find out, you know, all the bad things the Chinese were doing? And that's the question. But it seems like we have these labs in Ukraine.

We have them in Georgia, which is another former Soviet Union satellite. We have them in Africa. what are we doing in them? You would have told me this a decade ago. I would have said, yeah, that's a great idea, get ahead of this. I would have thought there was nothing wrong with GINA Function, but I think now we understand exactly what it causes.

Daniel Horowitz, a podcast host, conservative review, senior editor at Theblaze.com. Thank you for raising these questions, Daniel, and so you know, I stand with you 100%. God bless you. Great times to be fighting with you. Take care. Thank you.

You're listening to the best of the Glendbeck program. So I've been working on during the break. I've been working on some rides for Disney. You know. Because I, you know, hey. I thought you were like, you know, you no longer wanted to go. You were an unhappie. Yeah, well, I don't, but maybe it can help them just make it even a more magical place.

Okay. You know. So I was thinking like Black Lives Matterhorn bobsleds. It works at kind of. That one they may actually use. That's a safe space mountain. That could be there are no turns, no twists. You're in a lit room.

Oh, yeah. And you don't move. Yeah. And it's uphill. How about Peter Pansexual's flight? Walt Disney's Enchanted Equity Room. The Twilight Zone Tower of terrorist parents. You go in and parents.

are just screaming at you. Dumbo, the right-wing sycophant is, I don't know. Walt Disney's Carousel of oppression. Nobody sees that. How about Pirates of the Queerabean? Kind of like that one. I don't. Great moments with Mr. Jingping.

Okay. Okay. I mean, I, all right, I was just trying to help. Weren't they just, like, legitimately saying they were going to change the name of Splash Mountain? or change splash mountain? Oh, no, they're changing and getting rid of all of the Breyer patch

and... Because it was racist in some way? I don't remember this. Song of the South. It's based on Song of the South. Okay. Which is not a racist movie. I beg to differ.

Everyone says it is. Yeah, okay. Well, everybody in America does. Disney still sells the damn movie in Europe and England. So it's okay there. It's okay there. It's just bad here, you know.

They don't care. No, that, well, that's the thing I, I'm struggling to understand about Disney. because there are companies who do care. Yeah. There are left-wing companies that care. That care. And all they want to do is,

like Ben and Jerry's is a good example of that. Right? Like they just don't like the Jews. That's just the way. Their ice cream, they just not fans of the Jews. You know, the mint chocolate chip they have does not like Jews.

And that's just the way they run their operation. Wow. And that is what they stand for, right? They've been really clear about it. as clear as you could possibly be, please don't buy our ice cream Jews. That is their stance and their new slogan, by the way. If you happen to be in a convenience store today,

you'll see it on the containers. Please don't buy our ice cream Jews. I think it's not confirmed, but I'm pretty sure. That's strange. But that is an ideological company that makes ice cream. Disney is Disney an ideological company that makes children's entertainment or is Disney a company that wants to make a lot of money

and thinks the best way to do that or to appease its own employees here in the United States? It's an ideological company and it always has been. But how can an ideological company that, like, for example, believes in wokeness among gays be expanding in Oman? Why would they be going to... They're trying to expand their operation in countries that will execute you if you're gay.

An ideological company wouldn't do that. they would they're that's putting profits over to your ideology is it not yeah i don't know i don't know i'm willing to surrender on that way do you ever get that way where you're just like i don't know i don't care at this point no it's really not on the top of my list you really do care about disney though i do more than literally anybody that i know yeah i do and you followed it it's been inspiration in your life in your career wall disney wall disney taught me wall disney and uh Orson Wells were the guiding guys of my life, both good and bad. So that is a major, major part.

And to understand them now, because he went through this phase where it was Walt Disney with this incredible vision of a company. And an incredible vision of, I mean, it's always been an ideological company. Yeah. He was, back in the day. He was an American who thought America was a special place that had special ideas and laws that made people free to dream and do. And so he built his company.

That's why all of those old shows that, you know, used to run around the Mickey Mouse Club time. It was always good versus evil. It was, you know, Johnny Tremaine. It was stories, Davy Crockett, Stories of America. And that's what he really wanted to do. And, you know, he really wanted to do.

And, you know, he really wanted to shore this all up and shore the family up. I really think he saw today's America coming. He knew that the family and children, if given the proper tools and truth, would be able to navigate anything. And America would be the shining city on the hill. They've destroyed that. They don't believe that. they don't believe that anymore. They believe they'll be the shining city on a hill for another kind of flame, but it ain't truth.

So after at some point, the ideological beginnings of Disney under Walt, they fade away. And the criticism of them, when I was a kid, I feel like was just churning out merch and crap to maximize the amount of money. They were just a profit machine. Correct. And internally, they started, as they grew bigger and bigger, they started embracing all of the leftist ideas. And that infiltrated to every level eventually. And now they're ideologues, but they also are business people. So they bring in the cash.

But because why are we still talking about this? I said I surrender. I mean, I really. I'm just trying to understand because because like I think like you look at their mainstream releases, right? Their big budget you know,

explosive $100 million type of releases. They don't go down these roads all that much. I still think a lot of them are pretty acceptable. Now when you start looking at the stuff that they're throwing on like the Disney Channel and some of the stuff they're targeting tweens with

and that sort of ilk of their programming, they go farther and farther and farther down these roads. Yeah, because... But like, parents are taking their kids to the movies and watching it because they're in the dark and they're watching it with their kids. Television, mom and dad generally aren't watching, you know, Disney Channel online or, you know, Disney TV.

They're in, maybe mom's in the kitchen doing some stuff, and she'll only hear once in a while. She'll be like, wait, wait, what, hang on just a second. What's happening? Is part of this too, though, that these mainstream $100 million releases are being shown in Oman where the tween high school dramas they make for Americans are not. No. They're not getting imported to Saudi Arabia.

So these big things are, and so they keep those pretty safe. And that's what makes me, you know, again, I know you've surrendered on this already, But this is what makes me think they are more judging the playing surface than a hardcore ideological company. I think they are filled with a lot of hardcore ideological people, particularly in the creative side of things, as we saw in these videos this week. Always have been. But they're not acting this way all around the world. They're acting this way because they seem to... They didn't act this way when they were still hardcore ideologues.

for the left. They didn't act this way until they felt tight has changed. Yeah. We're now in control. Right. You'll notice all these companies are coming out and just taking their masks off. They don't, they don't care anymore. They just don't care. You will do what the big corporations say, because you can't live without us. I can't wait to get to my farm so I can prove them wrong. I am just, I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. They are taking our children down this, this path. I mean, I am not sending my kids to college.

I will not do it. Really? I will not do it. What if you could find a college and there are some that seem to have good, you know, good programs? I'd send them to Hillsdale. Yeah, right. Like Hillsdale is an example. That's it.

There might be others. We've talked to other, other, we talked to. No, I'm not going to. You just don't want to take. No, I'm not taking any chance. They're going to go on their own if they go. They pay for it on their own. I mean, I don't, you know, you're 18.

You can do what you want. I'm not paying somebody to destroy you. And to destroy everything that I have worked hard to instill in you. I have to say, I think more and more people are getting to that. I hope so. I'm pretty, I'm there. I mean, I've always felt like the credentialism of college is completely overvalued anyway. Yeah.

What do you, what do you learn? Stu, have we ever, ever, ever went? Oh, well, he went to, he went to college for broadcasting. Oh, so we should listen to him. No, but we're in a dumb business. I got to. No, we are in a dumb business. But are they any smarter than us?

No. No, because they don't learn anything that is real. Nothing. This is stealing, I think, Brian Kaplan's example here, but if a person goes through college and they have all A pluses, and on the very last day before graduation, they resign, don't show up for graduation, don't get a degree. And the next person comes through,

and they get all D minuses all throughout college, but they squeak through and graduate. The vast majority of this country would hire the guy with the D minuses. Of course. Because they would say, say they have a degree in college. That is the dumbest. Any individual person with a sense at all could look at that situation and say, obviously,

the person who got all A pluses throughout college is the one you should hire. And yet, this system is set up so that the person with the D minuses will get hired in almost all situations. That's insanity. That's insanity. It's got to change. And how many people do you know that are wildly successful that maybe went to a little college or no no college and then if they went to college they dropped down there like this is a

waste of time yeah i mean how many women's studies you know ethnic studies uh you know sexual studies do i really need do i really need to be able to do business here to be able to wait a minute i'm working for a bank i need women's studies for what reason right no well and this is i think a problem too in that you see the way, look at the way our situation is set up right now. You have these big tech companies and they go to these fact checkers and the fact checkers ask experts to get what the right opinion is and then they come back and they present. Where do they get those experts? Right, exactly. And this is the problem. There are no conservative gender study experts. Now, there is obviously an argument on the conservative side for these issues. I mean,

there's a couple. But there's no experts. Deborah So we've talked to before and she's not a conservative, but she at least has some irrational thinking on this. But they've kicked her out. But they've kicked her out. So when they get people who go against the grain, they kick them out. And generally speaking, a person who's conservative is not going to college to go want to study gender issues. It's just not within our interest. But if we don't have experts at all that are ever provided, when these journalists go to the fact checkers, there's no one to ask.

Is the problem. We have made people who have gone to college and have a degree. they are the experts, no matter what they believe, over somebody else who can maybe not go to college, but has really tracked, take economics, economics. We are going to the experts to solve inflation, the same experts that caused inflation. And while us non-experts said, you can't do that, it'll inflate the money. the expert said, no, it won't.

This time it's different. We said, no, it's not. Now, I don't have a degree in economics. I do have something called a brain cell. You must have none. And what happens? We go to the experts. And as it collapses,

because of their recommendations and their systems, they are the only ones we'll go to for the end. answer. That's a real problem. That's insane. That is the definition of insanity. And we've reached, I think, what I would think is the peak of this just over the past couple of weeks. One of the most highly educated people in our society about to be named to the Supreme Court and thinks she needs to go to a biologist to find what a woman is. This is completely bonkers. Check the pants. Check the junk. I mean I would have even given you

I can't hang on just a second and then checked you know into her pants and went okay I know how to define a woman I would have been taking that you know a moment of hesitation but not that answer na na
