Also, if you're worried about gun control, there's lots of things you can. do we talk to senator tom corbin he's a state senator tom corbin from south carolina what they're

doing in south carolina is amazing uh we go to him in 60 seconds stand by wait until bill o're riley gets here talking about the press conference relief factor wayne lives in kansas he labels himself as proof positive that relief factor works he had been suffering from a ton of pain in his back in his right foot over two decades. Now, during that time, he tried a lot of different things to try to make the pain go away, and some of them work for a while, and then they fade away, and here would come the pain again. Of course, there were other medications that he tried, the ones that made him, you know, feel like he had not really himself.

He didn't really care for those. A few years ago, Wayne heard me talking about Relief Factor. He decided to give it a try. In three days, he says, his pain was gone. Holy cow. Two days after that, his foot pain was gone. Most importantly, it has stayed gone. Wayne got his life back.

Before, I mean, before we get to Tom Corbyn, I mean, I just, I have to play one of the highlights, I think, of the press conference yesterday. 50 votes so that the Vice President of the United States can break the tie. Or I get 51 votes without her. Uh-huh. And so I'm going to say something outrageous. Okay. I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate. So the best way to get something done, if you hold near and dear to you that you like to be able to, anyway, we're ready to get a lot done. And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown in chaos is a consequence of the filibuster.

Now, have you heard any of the, have you heard any of the main? networks even talk about that? No, I was reading he was crisp, but he was on his game. They seemed to think he did a good job. Wow, I've never heard anything that awkward. It's terrifying. And I lived through the Reagan administration at the end. When they were calling him senile and saying it, I never saw that from Ronald Reagan.

Never. I've never heard that from anybody but my grandfather right before he went into the home. Not until Reagan was out of office, right? I mean, you know, when obviously he was having real problems. but that was long after. This was, I don't know how you explain it. I don't know how you can just blow it off and say there's nothing there. We're just, you know, conservative conspiracy theorists who are seeing something and imagining it.

This is a problem, man. I mean, he's the president in the United States. Even though, you know, I don't think he's going to be a great president, I would like to have someone who is at least alert and competent and can keep his thoughts together. Yeah, because it's not just this place. And we'll get into it here in a little while. And I can't wait to hear the opinion of Bill O'Reilly. coming up in just about an hour from now.

I want to talk to a little bit because in the press conference yesterday, there was a lot of talk about gun control. And if Joe Biden gets rid of the filibuster and he goes after guns, it is going to tear the country apart. I mean, you cannot take away the AR in today's world. That is the modern sporting rifle. it is what people use when they go hunting. It is what you use for sports.

You don't use grandpa. It's like, honestly, it's like going from, trying to think of something that to people who don't shoot would understand, but I don't think those people understand any. I mean, they still call, you know, magazine a clip. I heard somebody actually, you have, I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority here. I grew up in the Northeast.

Yeah. We were not around. My dad was in the military, but we were not around guns at all. I would, without doing this stupid show every day, I would not know the difference between a magazine and a clip either. I don't think there's a lot of, if you know, being a gun person is different than like, yeah. How do you talk to people who don't have any interest in even learning there's a difference between a magazine and a clip? Yeah, it's difficult. I mean, like, you know, famously, you know, Bloomberg, who's spent more money to try to take your guns than anybody else in the country.

And yet carries one. And, of course, it has security and carries one. But he was talking about an automatic weapon and didn't know the difference between automatic and semi-automatic. I mean, that's an even more fundamental, obvious thing you need to know. And he didn't even know that. So the difference between going from an AR, an auto, you know, a modern sporting rifle and the one with the wood that, you know, like they used in World War II, that's like going from, you know, one of those black scary pistols. that you always see like with James Bond that everybody has now to a to a cowboy gun. I mean, it's just it's it's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. Now, there are things going on that you can get involved with. And I urge you to get involved locally and at your state level to protect the second amendment. I wanted to talk to state Senator Tom Corbyn of South Carolina because what they're doing in South Carolina, is fantastic. They have, you have an unorganized militia already, and it's been there since the beginning of the country, right? Yes, Glenn. Yes.

Hi, Tom. Hi, good morning. Thank you so much for having me on the show. You bet. Yes, our state constitution has in it in Article 13, Section 1, it has lined out a citizenry militia that's been in our state constitution since its inception. Okay. And I've been to South Carolina. I'm trying to remind Stu, I think he was with me.

One time when I was in South Carolina, I went into this place, and it's almost like a museum, but it's also they still meet there. It's a militia headquarters. And they have the registration book that is still in practice today, signed by George Washington. I mean, you guys have had. I did not know that. Oh, yeah. It's an amazing place.

But anyway, you guys have had a militia from the beginning. So what are you doing to fight against the gun grab here? Well, that's a great question. And there have been other bills sponsored in the General Assembly in South Carolina. For example, there's one dealing with the Second Amendment Sanctuary State, okay? And I co-sponsored that bill. But basically what that bill does is that if the Attorney General, the Chiefsend, determines that a law coming out of Washington or an executive order is unconstitutional,

then no state funds can be expended to enforce it, you know, which is great. I mean, that's somewhat of a pushback against Washington. But I always wanted to pass a law creatively that would ensure and give comfort to the people that I serve that Washington could not come down here and confiscate any of the weapons that we legally possess now. That was the goal of this bill. So when I was thinking about how to do that, and I'll be honest with you, I collaborated with Dr. Edwin-Biera Jr., who's a constitutional scholar, and I was trying to make this a great bill, had a lot of help from staff in Columbia. But the idea was when you look at previous Supreme Court rulings and you look at the United States Constitution, which says in the Second Amendment, a well-regulated militia, comma, being necessary to the security of the United States Constitution, which says in the Second Amendment, a well-regulated militia, comma, being necessary to the security of, a free state comma, and these commas are important, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. You and I understand that the part about our Second Amendment not

being infringed, and infringed means to limit or undermine something. That's the definition of infringed. Okay. So you and I understand that that means the sometimes Washington can be scary in the way they think. So what I wanted to do was craft legislation that would actually It would mesh and it would layer. It would give layers of protection. So because we have what is deemed an unorganized militia, in South Carolina, you're either, if you reside here, you are a member of the National Guard, the State Guard, and if you're not a member of one of those, then you are in the South Carolina unorganized militia.

You're automatically as a citizen of South Carolina. As a citizen. Okay. That's correct. Yes, exactly. So when the Supreme Court has looked at the Second Amendment, they always look at it in terms of, well, does the Second Amendment apply to every citizen or just to the militias? Okay. Well, they've always determined it applies to the citizenry, which is great, which is what it does, and they should do that.

Well, suppose that a law was passed on an executive order that went back up to the Supreme Court, any sort of confiscation, and they did decide that it was only the militia. Okay, this bill would then still protect every citizen of South Carolina because we are in a militia. All I had to do was go in and defy our weaponry of that militia was, and that's all the bill does. People have a misconception. They think we're forming a militia and was trying to start a militia, things like that. That's not it at all. All this bill does, the imagery of the militia. And that's in Section 2.

It says an unorganized militia member at his own expense shall have the right to possess and keep all arms that could be legally acquired or possessed by a South Carolina citizen as of December 31st, 2020. And that date was just picked at random, Glenn. I could use today's date, okay? This includes, but if not limited to, shouldered rifles and shotguns, handguns, clips, magazines, all components and all ammunition fitted for such weapons. It's really a very brief bill, to the point bill, but it's designed to prevent the federal government from ever confiscating anything that we can legally have now because of the way it's crafted. They are the armament of our militia, and the government cannot disarm a state's militia

or a standing army in a state. Well, you might be the only one, because I don't know how many states have a state militia like that. Do you know? I don't know. I would think that some states, particularly those that were, you know, involved with the Revolutionary War at the time or these areas, you know, along the coast, would have some sort of provision like that. I haven't really researched other states. Some may do, some may not. But that was the uniqueness of South Carolina that I discovered. And I felt like through all the collaboration with all the, wonderful people who helped me with this bill, that that would be the best way to approach any sort of gun, gun complications. I love the idea of sanctuary states, second amendment sanctuary states. That's a speed bump. What you do is what the sanctuary state movement means, and it's really important, is that it says no state resources. So the local law enforcement, nobody can

help the federal government take guns away, but it doesn't stop the federal government from coming in and doing it themselves. Yours does because you say, wait a minute, no, this is, you have actually state resources that can be used to stop the federal government from doing that, correct? Exactly. These weapons that we possess are part of the weaponry of our, of our organized and standing and well-regulated militia here in South Carolina. One last question for you. I didn't hear bullets or ammunition in that list. I glazed over it, and I'm so sorry. Okay.

It says all components and all ammunition. Okay, good. Good. Good. Good. Yeah, that's all right. Senator Tom Corbyn from South Carolina. Thank you so much for what you're doing. And gosh, we may be counting on the people of South Carolina. Thank you. Well, I hope other states have them. Thank you, Glenn. You're a true patriot. Thank you so much for what you do.

You bet. I hope that you and your state are thinking this way. By the way, I would love to see the numbers of new weapon purchases this week. You can't even get close in Texas. And here everybody has guns. You can't even get close to a gun store now. I mean, the line for guns, the ammunition, forget about it, forget about it. Nothing increases the amount of firearms in this country than a, better than a Democratic president.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I think the gun, the gun companies are like, oh, come on, Biden. I can't wait for Kamala. All right. Let me tell you about hustler turf. If you are, if you are mowing the lawn every weekend, especially if you have a large lawn, Back in the 1960s, something happened to help you. A company named Hustler invented something called the zero-turn mower.

Back then, mostly used for industrial products, things like, you know, mowing the sides of roads and everything else. But people started seeing that and they're like, whoa, that is fantastic. And the demand for that version to be used on regular lawns got bigger and bigger and bigger. And here we are. Now you can go in and all these other companies are like, look, it's a zero. turn lawnmower. Uh-huh, uh-huh. The company that invented that in the 60s and then worked out all of the technology to make

sure that it is rough and tumble and it works is hustler. So if you're in the market for a lawnmower, this will cut your grass in about half the time. You can look at all the other lawnmowers. In fact, I encourage you to go out and look and then A, B. Compare. I'm telling you there is nothing that compares to a hustler. find a dealer near you and go test drive one hustlerturf.com. That's hustlerturf.com. 10 seconds, station ID.

By the way, there is something that is happening in over 20 states now. Four have already done this. 20 states are looking to pass legislation on the Second Amendment to beef it up and to be sanctuary states. And you also have over 400 counties. If you look at the map of the United States, county by county, and you see the number of counties that have already passed a gun sanctuary, it should tell the left and the media, America is not going to give up their guns. They're just not. It is everywhere. Look at that.

Look at the map. Wow. It's everywhere. Strangely, nothing in Montana. I mean, it's almost as clean as California. But California even has, in northern California, has some counties that have passed this. But if you see. There's a lot of red state growth available there, too.

I mean, there's very, very little in Nebraska. Nothing in South Dakota. Yeah, very little. Almost nothing in North Dakota. It looks like, is that Alabama that there's nothing? Mississippi? I mean, that is, that's pretty remarkable.

But there are some states that are almost completely filled in that haven't passed it as a state, but all of the cities and the counties have passed it. And you need to get involved in that movement. Texas, the governor just endorsed the movement here in Texas, and it has been proposed. Everyone should be on the floor. phone with their state legislator and their state senator and their governor's office and say,

I want the Second Amendment protected. I want something like a sanctuary state for the Second Amendment. In fact, all the Bill of Rights. And they're coming here for this. I mean, you could tell it was interesting in listening to the press conference yesterday. Biden was asked directly, are guns your top priority? And he didn't answer directly, but he did immediately pick him. to infrastructure. He's like, it's all about timing. What's the order that you do it in? And, you know, infrastructure is really important.

Told you that yesterday, didn't I? Yeah, I think you did mention that yesterday. Yeah, I mentioned that it is, it's not, the storyline is not finished. They have to have the right storyline. They need the right example. They need not a guy named, you know, Ahmad to be the shooter. They need someone named, you know, Ted. So when he pivoted immediately to.

It needs to be a Trump supporter. They need to be wearing a red hat. They need to be, you know, that's what they need. And once they get that, they'll go for it. But I wonder if there's anything in the infrastructure bill. I mean, remember, that's what, $3 billion, $4,000? Yeah, it was pushed out there as $3 trillion. And they started looking at it more closely.

It's actually more like $4 trillion. So I wonder what's in that bill. Is there something in that bill that will help them on guns? It's not fully baked yet. I mean, they may very well. They mail them no way. what it is. They may have it written, but the details of it have not been released yet. Just the outline of the $4 trillion. Just the outline. Just the outline. How long would it take you to

spend $4 trillion? I mean, you would think that that would be easy, but I don't think so. At any other place than Taco Bell, it would be very difficult. Very difficult. Very difficult. I talked to Brian Riddle yesterday from the Manhattan Institute about this. He was just blowing my mind how much. I mean, I, is this, Biden is coming in and tripling our debt, tripling it. And no one's even noticing. No one's even noticing. He was going through all the comparisons about these, these old timey days. I mean, pre-coronavirus. Yeah. Where, you know, we've lumped on more debt in the last, you know, year. And what Biden wants to spend in the next, you know, 10 years that just wipe out everything. I mean, we might as well not even know how to

country the last 200 years. I will bet you that we have lumped on more debt from January to today than we did from George Washington to Ronald Reagan. Jeez. I mean, I'll bet you. This is a problem. This is a problem, guys. Yeah, it's not going to end up. It's not going to end well. It's not going to end well. Ah, yeah, it will. Okay, good. We'll come up with something. AOC is on the scene. It happens fast, and you don't always know why. Maybe you had a password that was easy to guess, or you entered personal information into an email that was a scam. Whatever the case, you'll find yourself having lost your identity online to some cyber

criminal. And now you have a giant mess to clean up. How do you even do that? Well, the first thing, you have to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. Every single day, we put our information at risk on the internet. And every day, there are more and more cyber criminals that are looking for that information. You never know from one day to the next what your,

Things, not everything sucks. Not everything. I mean, yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb. Not everything. Not everything sucks. There are some good things that are happening. We just told you about what was happening in South Carolina and all over the country for people who are trying to stand for the Second Amendment. And there is a big push now, and everybody is going back and forth on transgender issues with people competing against women in women's sports who used to be a man, yada, yada.

And it's been very, very divisive. And of course, if you are on one side, you're a homopop. bigot. If you're on the other side, you can do no wrong. How do we get past all of this? We get past all of this by people just having some common sense and looking at some issues with common sense. The fact that you can have, that the state will allow your child to have life altering drugs when there what was the last one I saw

that the parents lost the right at like eight years old and the child decided they wanted to be a different gender and the state said yep sorry and the parents wait wait wait wait what eight 12

15 if you want to do something to your body that's fine but once your brain has fully developed is probably a good standard. There is a Democrat that is pushing a trans surgery ban for minors. Now, he's a black Democrat, and I want to start right away. First of all, welcome to the program, Caesar McKnight. How are you, sir?

And how are you? I'm good. I first want to start by giving you the opportunity, and I so despise that this has to be done. But you're not homophobic, you're not transphobic, you're none of the, of phobics, correct? You're absolutely right. And in fact, to further display the fact that I'm not phobic in any way,

I was one of the chief persons on our judiciary committee fighting to put in protections in our hate crime bill for transgender, for LGBTQ people. I mean, they stripped it out in the beginning in the subcommittee, and in the full committee we were able to put it back in. So I have to tell people, are you going to, why don't you judge me by what I've done? And that is, I've worked hard to make sure that transgender people are protected from acts of violence. So when I hear someone tell me I'm transphobic, I laugh at that. Right.

And it's crazy how, no matter what you did in the past, does not matter unless you're 100% on board right now. So tell me what you're trying to do in South Carolina. This becoming a South Carolina doesn't suck our. What is you're trying to do? Essentially what this bill does is House Bill 4047 says that no child in South Carolina will be able to undergo transgender surgery or transgender hormonal therapy. Any one older than 18, they can. And why do you think, why are you giving 18? I mean, why are you coming up with that?

Science says that people don't fully develop with regard to their brain until they're 25. Right. But I wanted, I wanted to reach a compromise. I knew 25 would be a bit extreme. We allow kids to smoke cigarettes at 18. We allowed them to get tattoos at 18. Right. So, okay, I see this as a compromise.

Yeah, I saw you say that, you know, it's a little unreasonable that you can't get a tattoo until you're 18. But, heck, you could go have, you know, homero blocking drugs, you know, when you're 12. That's, that's, that's, go ahead. It's ridiculous. It's simply ridiculous. And I want you to understand that I've gotten some significant blowback, but I've also gotten some significant support, particularly from people who are transgender and LGBT. There are just some people that have a political agenda. And if you aren't 1,000 percent with them, you're their arch enemy. I've been in the state legislature now for going on eight years. I don't deal like that. That's not how you get things done. I compromise with people, the things that. that I can work with you on. I work with you on and the things that I can't, I won't work with you on, but I won't demonize you at the same time either.

You know, it's interesting to me that, because I think, I know a lot of gay people, I don't think, no, I don't have any transgender friends, but wouldn't be opposed to it.

But it is, it's amazing to me that usually the ones in the gay community that I know are, you know, they've pushed for gay rights and gay marriage, et cetera, et cetera. But then after that past, they're kind of like, what is the rest of this? What is happening to us?

And it is those few that have this extreme agenda that are pushing it. And I quite honestly, I see that from a lot of white people on the African-American community. Yeah. And what I've tried to tell my white progressive friends is that African-Americans, Americans tend to be much more socially conservative than their white progressive. Counterparts, I'll give you an example. In my legislative district, I've got nothing but overwhelming support from this bill. I've had people who are the head of my ministerial alliance reach out to me.

They are all supportive of this. And my legislative district is almost 65% African American. And even the white evangelicals that live in my community have told me, we never voted for you before, but we will vote for you now. So to me, this issue is a win-win issue at home, and my job number one in the legislature is to take care of home. So they're happy. I'm happy. Let me ask you this.

Because we just had Tom Corbin on from South Carolina, I'd be interested in what you thought of his unorganized militia bill. I haven't really had an opportunity to study that bill in particular. but what I will tell you is where I stand on the Second Amendment. I'm very much so pro-second amendment. I'll just give you a brief history. My parents ran a nightclub, liquor store, a bail bonding company, and a taxi cab company. The most dangerous business you could have. It's like, and we did it well in war.

I mean, that's a, wow. And I said all that to say this. I'm not going to put any American citizen in a position to where they can't protect themselves. I wouldn't do it to my parents, and I'm not going to do it to anyone else. So that's where I'm an avid hunter. I own firearms. I ski-t shoot regularly, and I think that we have, you can have responsible gun ownership in this country, and that's where I stand. And I'm not going to support anything that's going to take away the rights of citizens to bear arms. I'm not. As a Democrat, how do we speak to other, you know, Democrats that have not gone

all woke and crazy about the modern sporting rifle. It's an AR is what people use to hunt now. How do we explain an AR look spooky, but it's not any different? It's kind of hard for me to explain it to anyway. I was in the Army, so I know how to use an AR-15. I mean, that's what you learn in basic training. And I think that all the people that are giving the most, the most forceful blowback are talking about the AR-15, have never used one.

They've never been to a rifle range. And they're trying to put this one-size, fits all, gun control thing on all of America. What works in New York City does not work in King Street, South Carolina. So I think it's a local issue, and you need to let your local legislature speak to those issues. So in your district, how is Biden doing? How are the national Democrats doing? Is there, how are they viewed? Well, Vice President, I'm pardon me, President Biden is very well liked in my legislative district.

They really like President Biden. They know him. They trust him. Speaker Pelosi, leader Schumer, they're not, they're not as highly regarded. Again, you're talking about San Francisco in New York City. so there's not a lot of commonality there. I mean, this is the land of barbecue, macaroni and cheese,

and various other southern dishes. There ain't no tofu in country, South Carolina. Right. So they're not as well regarded as Joe Biden. Representative Caesar McKnight from South Carolina, a Democrat, and a Democrat, I'm glad you're in office. Thank you so much. God bless you.

Thank you. Thank you. I have to tell you. I mean, doesn't Caesar McKnight make a good radio name? Seriously. It's a solid name. Tonight, Caesar McKnight. I mean, I think that's really good.

I think I was... Oh boy, this is so embarrassing. For like one weekend, maybe no more than two shows. I think I was like John St. John. In the time when everybody had to change their name. Everyone in radio was John St. John for at least a week, I think. Yeah. I might have been Michael St.

I'm not something saint something something and I kept blowing it and so one day on the air I mean literally it was either the first show or the second show I just said okay I just going to be cleaning with it it's Glenn Beck and that was that is it that is it Radio Hall of Fame yes thank you very much 13 years old okay all right okay okay I'm not I'm not John St. John and Glenn Beck and that's just the way it is okay okay Earth, Wind and Fire is coming up next. All right. American financing will help you save money, lots of money.

If you are a homeowner and you have a mortgage that's over 4%, you can save a ton of money right now. If you have credit cards, how much are you paying for your credit card interest right now? Do even know they are raking in the cash by loaning you that money? and they're raking it in every time you pay the bill because you're paying mainly interest. And depending on how high that is, you may not be able to get out from underneath it. That's why I would recommend that you would roll it in to one consolidated loan with American financing at 800906 2440. 8009062440 American financing.net. American financing NMLS-182334.

www. nmLS consumer access.org. Oh, man. You know, Joe Biden, he had some funny moments yesterday in the press conference, didn't he? I mean, he had some pretty funny lines. I don't know who's writing for him. He's hilarious. Could we please play the GOP voter suppression? This is from the press conference yesterday.

You're going to love it. When I'm worried about us how un-American, This whole initiative is. It's sick. Yeah. It's sick. Okay. Deciding in some states that you cannot bring water to people standing in line, waiting to vote.

Where is the? Deciding that you're going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work. Deciding that there will be no absentee ballots under the most rigid circumstances. Republican voters I know. find this despicable Republican voters folks out outside this White House.

I'm not talking about the elected officials. I'm talking about voters. Who are you talking to up there? And so I'm convinced that we'll be able to stop this because it is the most ridiculous thing. But wait, there's more.

Jim Crow looked like Jim Eagle. This is gigantic what they're trying to. Wait a minute. what they're trying to do. Wait a minute. And it cannot be sustained. He says,

this makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. Jim Eagle, Jim Eagle, Jim Eagle. After that happened, by the way, I can tell you, I'll be honest with you. This is exactly what I did. Google, Jim Eagle, to see if it was a person I was unfamiliar for. I was like, wait, was there some other bigger racist named Jim Eagle? I literally had no idea what he was talking about. And then I, looking online,

I guess he was trying to say that an eagle is a larger bird than a crow. So this is more racist than Jim Crow. Yes. Which, first of all, is completely insane. Right. It's not true at all. Secondly, it's a very weird way of talking about things. Thirdly, the eagle is the symbol of our country.

So it's weird to make that the ultra-racist example. But see, it would make sense if you're like, it makes Frankenstein look like Stubrigear. You'd at least go, okay, well, he's worse. somehow or another than Frankenstein. And you'd say, no, just uglier. And then you'd move on. That would make sense.

This is the worst joke, but it also works on zero levels. Except, yeah, eagles are bigger than crows. This is like one of his weird malarkey moments that like is somewhere in like 1907, someone said something like this and he remembers it. I did think that this is possibly a grandpa joke.

You know how? Yeah. Dad jokes are bad. This may be a great, great-grandfather joke. I'm not sure, because I think you're right. Maybe at some point, people in the old-time movies, you know, they would... Whoops, it would have been... This one.

Ha-ha. And he said, Eagle. Jim Eagle is better than Jim Crow. Ha-ha-ha. And the audience laughed. Maybe. Maybe in those old film newsreels. That would have been good.

But I don't think so. So, and again, what was the thing he was trying to say that they're trying to ban water? Yeah. Now, I, I've looked at the fact check on this. So there's a bill in the Georgia house. Again, this is not a white spread thing. It's one bill. It was, uh, it says that you can't give money or gifts, including, but not limited to food or drink to an elector.

Such giveaways ban, within 150 feet of a building. So it's not like somebody is trying to pass out with. you know, because they need water. I can't, I just have to stay in this line. I need water. No water. I need water. It's like you can't have a barbecue and hand out, you know, hot dogs and hamburgers and

sodas or water within 150 feet. You can do that 150 feet away, but you can't do it and bring things to people in line. You can't do it. And like, right. And they, they, they, they, you can set up a, a, a, like a self-serve thing. You just can't have people walking out and giving you. water, though there could be volunteers doing it that's not related to the election

board. You could have other ways of doing it, but they just don't want people giving out money and prices. Right. Look, they're on the ground begging for water and Jim Eagle comes to kick them repeatedly in the stomach all because of those nasty Republicans. This is not an effort to stop people from voting. It's just interesting.

insane. Back in just a minute. Bill O'Reilly next. All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens. Rough Greens is something I'm feeding Uno, and he loves it, just loves it. It's not a dog food. It's something you put onto the dog food, and it changes him. My dog was easy from the very beginning because he hated eating so much, and I realized,

huh, wow, that's, there's a problem there. Why isn't he eating? Now he's, I mean, he's looking at the rough green bag every day like, okay, when, win, win, win, win, when, when, when, when. Easy for my dog, your dog may not eat it, this supplement. So they don't want you to have to spend any money on trying it out for your dog just to see if you'll eat it.

Yes, I have been waiting since about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon for this moment. It's Friday. The press conference, the president's first press conference of his presidency, was yesterday. And Bill O'Reilly is here to talk about it in 60 seconds. You know, honestly, every time I go to sleep at night, I think about you.

And I think about people who say to me all the time, do you actually, yes, I actually use the products that I talk about. Otherwise, I wouldn't talk about them. My pillow is one of those products. I sleep with my pillow every single night. And it is strangely my favorite pillow. And I say strangely because it would not be something I would pick up and buy at the store because it just feels different.

It's got this, I don't have. even know how it's, again, it's witchcraft. I don't know how they make it, but you put your fist through both ends and it fluffs up and then you don't have to do it again all night. It's weird. And I wouldn't think I love it, but I do. I love it. It is the pillow under my head every single night. My pillow. You'll get the best sleep with a best pillow and they have sheets and everything else.

We're going to have to cut our time short today because we're just so jam-packed with things to do. But I want to get through all the things that you think are important. Let's start with the president's press conference. Okay. First of all, I think you should take a listener poll on whether you should cut me short.

I've already taken it. Why do you think we're cutting you short? I got nothing about that. Okay. Okay, presidential press conference. I am going to quote Dion. Okay. All right.

Remember Dion? Deon, Deon the Belmont? Barely. Barely. I know. All right. All right. Okay.

I'm quoting Dion. Ready? Yes. They call me the wanderer. The wander. I roam around and around and around. Unquote, Dion. That is, it is amazing how bad it was yesterday.

Well, I'm nicknaming President Biden, the wanderer. because he gets up there and he just goes wherever he wants to go. He ruminates word of the day, ruminates for stew. But the problem is that many times, when he's ruminating and wandering, he forgets what his train of thought is. He can't bring it back. So I'm talking to Glenn back now, everyone, and we're having a discussion about the presidential press conference.

And I'm making some wise guy comments. But, you know, if I forget my train of thought, then the whole thing crashes. He's not able to bring it back, all right? And that is a little troubling. And the other thing that was troubling yesterday is that he misstated facts. I mean big, big facts. Now, I got a whole bunch of mail here in my lap from Bill O'Reilly.com viewers, because we do TV every night, as you know.

And they always lying. He's lying. He's lying. I don't think he knows what he's saying. Oh, may I give you an example of this? Can we play the part on infrastructure? This is from the same press conference, literally 60 seconds apart from each other. Here's cut one.

I still think the majority of the American people don't like the fact that we are now ranked, what, 80th in the world and infrastructure. I mean. Okay, stop. 85th in the world. 60 seconds later. Here he is. We have somewhere in terms of infrastructure.

We have, we rank 13 globally in infrastructure. Wait a minute. We live in such a high-tech age. It just whipped right in 30 seconds up from 85 to 13. Right. So you are agreeing with me, Beck, that he doesn't know what's saying. Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't know.

He has no idea. But here's the important part of this. Okay. He said, I'm quoting President Biden, there is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. It happens every year. Okay? So he's denying that there's a border surge. That's unusual. The truth is that between February 20th, that's Trump in 2020 and February 2021, border patrol apprehensions are up 174%. Yeah, but only 174. I mean, that's only 13%. So you get the president of the United States looking into the camera going, Hey, you know, it's not any problem. This always happens. It's not any worse now.

Total lie. A hundred percent lie or 174%. Right. Okay. Which is only 3%. You would think that the press corps would know that this was fallacious, another word of the day. Right. And because they come armed with the facts.

The press corps does. You know, everybody knows how good and brilliant they are. Not one challenge to that, and not one stat quoted by the nine reporters who were called upon. See, you interview a president in a fact-based way. You don't give them room to run like Yamachi El Sindo. What is the name? The PBS person? I mean, she should be the PBS correspondent and Biden's book.

person. Just run from seat to the podium and run back. Okay? I mean, and she was second. William Nucci. What do you find your mind? I have the greatest. Okay. Thank you. But it's disturbing for me as an American, not just as a journalist, all right? To see the president of the United States and Biden believes it. That's, and people don't believe me when I tell you this. he believes there's no problem down there. He, oh, no, no, no. You've said this, you've said this for the last couple of weeks that you think he is so out of touch that he has really, truly no idea what's going on. Along with Elvis, he's left the building, okay?

Well, but he's had a good, I mean, he's had a good long run. Could you please, could you please put Biden and played Biden enter the Senate? This is him yesterday. Do you have it? Biden enters the Senate. With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago. If it was near and dear-st. That was a joke.

That was a jest. No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. No, it was. That was a jest. Okay?

You think so? Yes. Yes. He was trying to be funny, but he didn't pause and smile because he doesn't know what he's saying. I'm telling you. Look, he came in with 150 pages of notes, giant crayon written notes, giant notes, all right?

Yeah. He doesn't know. Wait, wait, wait. Have you ever seen in a press conference, Wallace said last night, who's not a, you know, he's not exactly anti-Biden? He came out and said,

this is the same Chris Wallace that said that Biden, gave the greatest enormous speech of all time. Yes, yes. So he came out and he said last night, I covered Reagan and I've never seen a president come out with talking point notes like Joe Biden did. Do you agree with that? Yeah, and they were written in crayon. They were not. They were typed out. No, he comes out and he should say it. He should just say it. Hey, I got a whole bunch of notes here because I don't want to screw up. If he said that, most Americans go, okay.

Yeah. Okay. You know, I understand. You don't want to screw up, so you're going to be precise and read off the page. Because he knew the China question was coming. And so the China question comes. He looks down. He reads the whole answer, and that's that.

But this, I just want to make one more point because this is clearly, clearly should be worrisome for the American people. and this was the absolute nadir, third word of the day, of the press conference. He looks into the camera, the president of the United States, says, you know what? Here's how we're solving the border thing. Now remember, we have hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals pouring into the United States, hundreds of thousands, all right? Here's how I'm solving it.

I'm going to send Vice President Harris down to Central America, with $700 million and get to the root causes of why the people are coming here. I'm going, does anyone on earth think that this is going to solve the problem? Does anyone on earth not know why millions of people in third world countries want to live in the United States? Does anyone not know that? We have to spend $700 million on root causes. Here it is, Joe Biden. if you live in Honduras, you don't have anything.

You will never have anything. If you come here, you could work hard and build a good life. That's it. We don't need Kamala Harris to go down there and tell us that. You are not going to solve a problem that's been underway since the Aztecs. Do you get it? Oh, my God. I'm sitting there.

It's great again. I'm flashing back to St. Bridget's school. It's third grade. This guy is at that level. Bill O'Reilly, we're going to try to convince him to open up and actually say what's on his money. Are you sure you want to cut me off at the bottom of the hour back? In 60 seconds, stand by more Bill O'Reilly. If you could get out of pain, if you can get out of pain and so many people have debilitating pain,

How much would that be worth to you? One day, just one day without pain. Well, let me tell you about the one day out of pain. I've had it. So many of our listeners have had it once we started taking Relief Factor. And it is a blessing like you can't believe. Now, you might have that day. You might not have that day.

I'm being honest with you with Relief Factor. They'll tell you the truth. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more because it works for them. But that's why they put a three-week trial pack together. Because within the first three weeks, you pretty much know, is this going to work for me or not? So I want you to call 800, 500, 583, 84, your day that is pain free. Just start piling them up day after day after day after day with relief factor. Try relief factor now.

The three-week trial pack starts at 1995. That's all it costs you, 1995, to find out if you can get out of pain. Relieffactor.com, 800, 583,84. It's Relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. Tell me how you think we're moving on gun control. What do you foresee happening here? Not going to be resolved because of the Second Amendment is fairly clear in the Supreme

court as comprised is not going to ban, allow any bans or confiscation or anything like that. So all the people who want their guns and love the guns and that kind of thing, you just, you don't have to worry, right? But what could happen is you could have public safety compromises. For example, if you buy an AR, then you would register the AR so that people would know if it's stolen if you are a lunatic all of a sudden, that you have a heavy weapon in your house. I don't think that's unreasonable, but you're never going to get it unless the progressive left, the Democratic Party, compromises on gun crimes themselves.

See, the stats are that mass murder, like in Colorado and Atlanta, comprise zero, 0.02% of all gun homicides. And that comes from a University of California Davis study, not exactly a conservative bastion. So this is not the essential problem of gun violence in America. The problem is criminals selling narcotics or holding up stores using guns. That's where 76% of the homicides occur. but the progressive left doesn't want to do anything about that.

In fact, they are letting gun criminals out of jail in Chicago and New York City. Do you know that? Which is why, Bill, quite honestly, I don't buy into your first theory because I believe you on the second. I know those stats are right. Your first theory is that you don't have anything to worry about. They're not doing this for common sense anything. But they can't overcome the Supreme Court. court. So when you say they, yeah, might it pass the House? Yeah. Could it, they jam it through the

Senate? I doubt it. But it's possible. But as soon as they do, and Biden signs it, there'll be a federal court challenge, and it'll be stayed in the Supreme Court. It wasn't the last time they had an AR ban. Well, that was way back in what? 2008? 2003? 2004 is when it slipped through. The Supreme Court is, Beck, as you know, the court is much different now than it was back then. And the country is so polarized now, way more than it was back then.

I'm Bush. He wanted that. The Republican president wanted that. Remember? Now, Republicans don't want any part of the progressive central government telling them what they can and can't do. Am I correct? Yes, you are.

There's not one traditional conservative that wants the federal government to have more power. Not one. So we're living a totally different country now. Let me go to the filibuster. Last night, here's what Joe Biden said

about the filibuster. 50 votes so that the vice president of the United States can break the tie. Or I get 51 votes without her. and so I'm going to say something outrageous. I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate. So the best way to get something done, if you hold near and dear to you that you like to be able to... Anyway, we're ready to get a lot done.

And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos as a consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about. What does he mean by that? Well, he means that he's going to do what he's told to do. He was in Rice and McLean, Ron Claim, the chief of staff, they tell him, you know, Mr. President, we've got to really knock the filibuster out, so you've got to get behind that.

And he won't. I mean, he's going to do what he's told to do. He doesn't have any prince. That's gone. This is a guy who is in the White House. who is absolutely incapable of making an independent decision. Would you agree with me? Sadly, I would.

Sadly, I would. That's where we are as a country. And I'll tell you what, next year, 2022, if Americans don't wise up, and it's not the Republican Party is so great. They're not. They're not. But these people are dangerous. These progressive left people are dangerous to your freedom, to your family.

And if you don't get it now by watching what's happening in this country, if you don't get it, then you're going to lose your country. And I'm not saying that with any exaggeration. You're going to lose your personal freedom. You're going to lose your money. They're coming after your assets. You want that? Continue to vote Democrats into office.

Yes or no question here, Bill. I just did what the Washington Post did. The Washington Post reports podcast, which was covering this. They then never mentioned the huge gaff where he completely lost control of his faculties in the middle. Is that worth covering or not? No, not for the Washington Post. That's not a newspaper anymore. Okay, all right.

Bill, we've got about 60 or 80 seconds. All right. Okay, back. Here we go. Ready? Yes. Get a pen, get a paper. I got it. Pre-order, Killing the Mob on Bill O'Reilly.com, you get 50% off killing Crazy Horse, which just passed 500,000, a half million in sales last week.

However, there is something that is happening in the podcast that has been downloaded yesterday for Blaze TV subscribers. It will be available for everyone tomorrow wherever you get your podcast. But I urge you to listen to it. Now, this is not something that is going to be mainstream.

And the reason why is because this is kind of like when I talk about Woodrow Wilson. now everybody and it might have been you at one point if you're a long time listener of mine you'd go why is this guy continually talking about Woodrow Wilson and then all of a sudden you got it and you were like oh my gosh that's so important that I know that now I understand the progressive movement right they are now saying that they are looking for right wing extremists and the media and everybody else is saying that they're Christians, that they're white supremacists, et cetera, et cetera. And you and I both know that's not true.

However, what I know that you most likely don't know is that there is a global movement that is now here in America. And I've been warning about it for how long, do least a decade years and years and years for sure years and years and years and years and years and years and it is fallen on deaf ears and I'm begging you please listen to this podcast this is going to play a role and it will be a very dangerous road it is capital T traditionalism and if you've ever heard me talk about Alexander Dugan this is what he is pushing and it is happening in Europe and it is now here in America. There are three leaders, global leaders of this

movement. Two of them now live in America. One, I don't think, really affects us because all of his influence is in South America. Some reason or another, he's decided to move here to America, but he still is influential in South America and Brazil in particular. The other one is very involved here and you will know the name. First, let's go to what is traditionalism? Listen from the podcast. If the average person was asked to define

what a traditionalist is, I might define myself as a traditionalist. I believe in the Constitution. I believe in the founding fathers. I believe in America. I go to church on Sundays. You know, I believe in, you know, God and mom and apple pie

and Chevrolet, but that's not what we're talking about. Everything that you just described, I think, could be labeled traditionalist with a lowercase tea. And that's the only little bit of help that we get here in identifying what this is. When we talk about an uppercase tea traditionalism, we're talking about a very, very small, spiritual and eventually political movement that really comes into existence in the early 1900s. And yes, they might share with you a belief that things used to be better or that maybe the principles that we should live our lives through today and which we should hold to in the

future were established in the past. Right. And therefore that we should be critical of the notion of progress, right? But they wrap all of that in something far more arcane and esoteric and they wrap it all in in a sort of worship of the past and also a belief that where we are headed right now is going to lead us to destruction and that that destruction is good and necessary and dougan describes this as and we'll get into who alexander dougan is in a little while but but yeah i don't know if this is the way the american traditionalist and we'll explain what that means here in a minute dougain describes this as the

apocalypse or the end of the world as described biblically and but they're working to bring it on because it's good yes okay yes and that's the way it is with traditionalists all around the world it is

really the biblical apocalypse not quite okay so maybe right here is where we start to see a distinction between between let's say a conservative Christian and one of these capital T traditionalists. Okay.

So the way, let's say in the apocalypse that you would hear about in the Bible, in that biblical tradition, it tends to be followed by some sort of heavenly utopia. Right. Right. A rapture. Right. The traditionalists instead see an earthly apocalypse as being the prelude to an earthly utopia. And it's in this that might seem like a small difference there.

So there's no Jesus returning on this one? Not in the sense that they are talking about. Okay. No, they're talking about human society, secular, political, worldly, material society returning to a utopia. Right. And again, that might seem like a small difference, but it means that destruction can become the tool of a politician. This is, it's, it's heady stuff. but it is critically important.

I have studied this for a long time. The podcast is with Benjamin Titlebaum. And he is a guy, I swear to he's a, he's a professor, but he's not a crazy professor. And he also, I don't think he agrees with me on, you know, all of the policies, but we agree on principles. And he is not crazy, nor is he wrong.

And when I found him months ago, I was like, you're my brother. Man, I feel like I found a brother because there's only the two of us that are ringing this bell. And he has spent 10 years studying this. And it is critical that you understand because, as he says in this, this is not a biblical apocalypse. This is a mystical apocalypse. They believe that there was this great spirituality. We're talking about paganism. We're talking about, you know, the

the druids and things like this. That there was this great understanding of spiritualism in the time of the Vikings, et cetera, et cetera. And the only place that still has this, see if this sounds familiar to used to. The only place that really still kind of has this is India. And India is the home, they think, of still this original people. The original people, they left India and they kind of went north into Europe. They became the Vikings and all of the, all of the Tessarek and all of that stuff. Is this any of this sound familiar? That doesn't sound familiar, yeah. Okay.

Where is it? Who else did this? Who else talked about this? Who else centered their entire movement on this? I mean, this was the Nazi movement. Exactly right. Everyone thinks that the Nazis were Christians. No, they used Christianity. They were act. They believed in this kind of stuff. And what this movement is doing is infiltrating in our churches. And it is traditionalism. Look, who's your, for instance, in Russia, who's the biggest defender of the Orthodox Church in Russia, the Russian Orthodox Church? Putin. Who's the one standing up against, you know, lesbian marriage?

Putin. Who's the one standing up against transgenderism? Putin. How's he doing it? because the church teaches it's wrong. He images himself as the defender of the church. This is in Brazil and South America, and it is here in America, in our politics.

And it is a stealth foreign body that conservatives, you don't pay attention, you will get swept up and you will stand with people that you think are on your side because we're against big state. We think the whole thing should just be shut down and rebooted, restarted. They don't believe in individual rights. They believe in a global movement. You have to go beyond the surface. And if you don't know this, chances are you could go down the road and you will be on the wrong side. This is dark, dark stuff. This is really evil stuff. I got to listen to this one. This is this weekend. Is it come out tomorrow? It's out now for Blaze TV subscribers. Oh, I canceled my subscription.

Oh, did you really? Yeah, it'll come out tomorrow. It was very, I didn't like that you guys out of that show. But, uh, you know who the leader is here in America. and I intentionally don't say who the leader is until about a half hour or so into it because I need you to understand it first. And when you, by the way, it's not Donald Trump, when you hear who the leader of this is and who is, who sat with this guy on record and talked about it in detail and, and, and, had no problem hiding any of it. It will show you how deep this already is in America. And you are going to be blamed for all kinds of things if you don't cut this out. If you have, and I'm telling you, American churches have already taken financing from these people because they don't.

They don't know the difference. They don't know the difference. Now, this is not what the left is talking about. It's not what the media is talking about. This is a real threat to the right. And I can only ring the bell. What you do with it is up to you. But you need to watch this.

You need to understand this and take it for more than just the podcast, do your own homework after, and do everything you can to make sure that those around you who believe in small government and the Constitution, the people involved with this,

do not believe in the Enlightenment. They think that was a mistake. Does that sound familiar? That's also on the left. That's why this is traditionally not a right movement in America, but they are piggybacking onto it like a leech. And you need to understand it.

I want to show you something If you happen to be watching us If you're listening to us Let me just do this This thing Is did you check how many 144 ounces is? How the 9 pounds?

It doesn't it feel more? Yeah, because it's so dense. It's like... So small, I guess maybe That's why it feels like 20. Nine pounds of gold though is... Nine pounds of gold.

This is 9 pounds of gold Solid gold from 1857. In 1857, it was worth $2,641. And it was going to buy some land in the Americas. And it was on a ship. And it sunk just off the coast of North Carolina. It's the U.S. or the SS Central America.

And for a century, it was on the bottom of the ocean, 7,200 feet below the surface. Well, they discovered it. And Gold Line has acquired the rights to sell these gold ingots, if you will. to the public. So it is an amazing piece of history, and that is really important because it's a historic item. No, I don't have this as a, no, this is not to trade with money. No, no, no, no, no, no, this is not monetary.

This is a piece of history. Mm-hmm. Gold line. Ask them, why I buy golden, how I buy golden, why I buy it that way. when you get them on the phone, you can call them at 866 Gold Line. 866 Gold Line. You don't have to buy the nine-pound bar.

You can buy just a few coins if you want, but get started, please. 866 Goldline or goldline.com. We have Dr. Scott Atlas on the phone with us now from the Hoover Institute. And he has just written the last word, the Stanford Review, And we wanted to get the last word from him on coronavirus.

He is, if you don't know, he kind of became the anti-Faushi in a way and said, yeah, maybe we don't have this one right. Welcome to the program, Dr. Atlas. How are you? Great. Thanks for having me. You bet. All right. So let's look back now at what we've done, what we learned, and where we are.

Okay. That's a big topic. Well, what we've learned, first of all, to the set of things we learned about the virus that we have known for months, by the way, and that is that it's really not risky for the overwhelming majority of people, but for elderly high-risk people, it's extremely dangerous and significantly worse than the flu. the other things that we've learned is that we know how to protect these people. We should have protected them from the beginning, but that wasn't the recommendation. Instead, the recommendation was to lock everybody down and somehow indirectly protect them. And what we learned with that was a gross failure. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died, many of whom were in the high risk.

Hundreds of thousands, in fact, were in the high risk category, almost all of them, but a lot of them, 40% or something, were in nursing homes, which was the obvious target. Instead of protecting those people, the people that were in charge of implementing policy did these lockdowns. Almost the entire country, almost every governor, did lockdowns. And those were the policies that were recommended by the people, not me, but by the other people on the task force. So the people that are saying somehow there was a bad risk.

result that advocated for the lockdowns are criticizing what was implemented that they recommended. Right. They criticized people like me who decided and knew that the lockdowns were going to be a disastrous, a harmful way to pursue policy. And they criticize those of us who criticize that as if their policies were not implemented. Their policies were implemented. That means the policies advocated by the people like Dr. Fauci, Dr. Berks, and all the governors implemented the lockdowns, and they were proven to be

not just ineffective at stopping the virus, but they were extraordinarily harmful. And, you know, we can see that by looking all over the world as well as our internal comparisons, if you want me to talk more about it. Well, I want to actually go back towards the beginning of something you said, when you said that we found out that it's not as deadly except for older people. You know, we've had these things before in the past. We've, we've had, well, polio was a, was a big one. And we didn't do this kind of a lockdown.

Can you find anything in history that you would compare COVID with that we've seen in the past and didn't destroy our economy and lock everybody up? Well, there were previous pandemics that were very deadly, including pandemics that were more deadly to younger, healthier people. There's never been a lockdown like this before, and never. And it's obvious why. In fact, the classic pandemic preparation paper, I think, was written in something like 2009. I may be wrong about that. but that that paper that is referred to as the classic a way to think about these management of something like a pandemic

said very explicitly that we do not lockdown because of the harms of the lockdown because of the inability of human beings to function in a healthy way with a lockdown and it was extremely unadvisable to do such a thing so it's never been done and it will never hopefully be done again, although I'm wary of that. Yeah. Because if I, if I didn't say something that I didn't really finish with, which is you asked me what we learned.

And I wrote this in that paper, the last word, because what we really learned were too shocking things. I'm afraid of these. What we learned was the massive power of the government, and we never, I don't think, consciously realized that the government could shut down.

society, close your jobs, close your businesses, close your schools, quarantine you inside your home, stop you from seeing your own family. We never understood that kind of power existed. And the second part that we learned that shocked me even more as an American was that people were going to just say okay to that. Yeah, that's that passive response, that acquiescence to such an extraordinary draconian restriction on your own personal liberty was a shock to me that people went along with that, as they have and continued to do. Is it because it came so slowly? Because everybody was willing to do it for 15 days. And then we even understood, well, we're going to wait until Easter. But then after Easter, it was kind of like, wait a minute, wait a minute. What, what, no, we can't continue to do this. And it allowed those first two kind of allowed people to position anyone who was against it as somebody who wanted grandma to be dead. Yeah, I mean, it's sort of looking back on it, trying to figure out how this has evolved into what we have today, which is, by the way, in my opinion, a completely and wholly damaged American psyche that will potentially never come back.

I hate to be cynical like that, but I have my doubts. But why did this happen? Well, first of all, of course, fear. And that's understandable. The fear that was invoked by the completely inappropriate pronounceance of the World Health Organization at the time that started this whole thing about this fatality rate that, of course, I was afraid, too, this extraordinary fatality rate that was probably 50 times what it really is. and the idea that everyone, the calculations of the models that were originally in the UK,

that assumed that everyone was at equal risk, which again, is a massive hypothetical error. And that kind of fear was, of course, it shows you what the impact of fear is on human beings, and that's sort of understandable. But then what happened was the media, And there's some fascinating data about this, particularly the American media recklessly, irresponsibly created fear. And I don't know if it was because or only because of the election year. I think a lot of it probably was politically motivated in the beginning.

But I think at this point, people, over several months, and by the time I got to Washington and I didn't get there until end of July, beginning of August, by then, there was a damaged psyche. This was an obsession and addiction. The fear was not going to be overcome when, no matter who won the election. And I actually, people said, oh, when the president Biden wins, this will be over. I didn't think so. And, of course, it has not been over.

It is. And so the fear and the fear mongering by the media, which is really extraordinarily harmful, what was the sort of ingredient. It is extraordinary how different parts of the country reacted to this. People in New York, they're still terrified of it. Here in Texas, we're not so afraid of it. We have a healthy fear of it, and we just take precautions. But we know who's most at risk.

You go into California, you go into New York, or better yet, they come here. they just almost don't even know how to be in society anymore. Yeah, well, I live in California. So you know. And, you know, what's extraordinary is the fear. What's extraordinary is a complete lack of critical thinking. There's been a gross, gross distortion of the data by the people who are the faces of the of the so-called public health world,

but worse than that, there has been a direct spreading of pseudoscience and direct harm to the public, and we've seen it time and time again, literally pseudoscience, yet they lash out at those of us who do analyze it correctly and claim we are using pseudoscience, including my friends at Stanford,

who don't understand that, for instance, The six-foot rule that we have been living by religiously was pseudoscience. It was never scientifically generated. The World Health Organization used three feet from the beginning, as did many countries, Austria, Finland, Sweden, China, Singapore, I can go on and on. There's no problem with using three feet, even, and not saying three feet the correct number, but it's an arbitrary designation. It's a say six feet, and now that we know it's wrong, where is the uproar.

Where is the instant admission of error and the, more importantly, instant change of everything to three feet? Why is that not being done? I think this is a serious example of people having bought into something, even when it's proven wrong, they are still wedded to it. And it's relevant because that is a big difference between a functioning business or functioning restaurant, a functioning school, and not three feet. is a very different number from 60. Well, I will tell you this. Also, you can't expect outrage when people will go to a restaurant and have to wear a mask while walking to the table, but then you can take the mask off while sitting at the table.

That is the most, I mean, that is almost magic in its thinking. Well, and... Go ahead. Sorry to interrupt, but it's completely irrational, okay? And I'll tell you why it's irrational. Exposure does not happen when you're walking past somebody. The CDC even defines exposure as sitting in some being in someone's personal space for 15 minutes or more. The only time you're going to be exposed in a restaurant is when you're sitting at the table with the people you're with.

You're not going to be exposed by walking to your table. Yet this is the sort of topsy-turvy Alice in Wonderland logic that we use. here in this country. It's completely off the rails. I can't even emphasize enough how irrational the behavior is. I mean, the biggest example is how we double down on stringent requirements in the low-risk environment. What do I mean by that? The schools. There's no safer environment than a school, yet that's where we're testing, that's where we're setting up these barriers, that's where we're not even opening the schools in many parts of the country, or even colleges. It's a low-risk environment compared to the community.

It's healthy, younger people, for the most part. Of course, the high-risk people, they can be protected. They can be vaccinated, whatever. But the low-risk environments don't need masks testing every single day, closure, et cetera. Airplanes are a low-risk environment. There has never been significant outbreaks of cases on airplanes. there had been cases, but the data on airplanes is not showing that it's a high-risk environment, yet the airplanes were told, I was, you know, I just flew somewhere.

You know, it must be on a two-hour flight, you're told more than a dozen times to put your mask on, in between bites, in between sips. Meantime, the air filtration system on an airplane is much more effective than anywhere else. But so schools, low-risk environments, we have the most stringent requirements. This is the complete lack of rational thought going on. And again, it's an indication of a severely damaged psyche. You walk around outside in California, outside. And you'll see young people, young healthy people who are extremely low risk to begin with,

wearing a mask alone riding their bicycle, in their car alone wearing a mask. This is totally irrational. It is pseudoscience. It's like carrying a magic question. quarter inside your pocket. All right. We're talking to Dr. Scott Atlas. Let me take a one-minute break. And then I want to come back and talk to you about what the former director of the CDC

has just said about this. And he's going to be called, you know, a witch for saying it. We'll get your reaction in just a minute. Nobody's a big fan of paying more to fix your car than what your car is even worth. call me old fashion, but that's the way I am. If you got a car, it's probably one of the more expensive things that you own. And it is certainly one of the most vital things for your ability to live your everyday life. So it's incredibly important that you can take care of it.

If something breaks down, do you have all the money to repair a chip that has gone down? Could cost you thousands of dollars. Well, have Car Shield take care of all of it. Car shield. With Car shield taking care of covered repairs is really simple. They have customizable, affordable plans that will keep you on the road. They'll keep you covered.

They write the check to the repair shop or to the dealership. You don't have to worry about any of it. Get coverage today. Carsheel.com. That's carshield.com.

Use a promo code back and save 10%. 10 seconds. Station ID. So we're with Dr. Scott Atlas. Scott, let me ask you about what the former director of the CDC has just come out and said. And that is he believes that this did come. from the laboratory in China that it escaped. It wasn't

intentionally set, but it did come from that laboratory in Wuhan. Any comment on that? Yes, I actually just read Dr. Redfield's statement or at least the interpretation of the statement. Yeah, I've always felt that way. I don't have any proof on that. And I think he said we'll see also. I agree with him that the most likely scenario is that it came out of the

lab. It does not mean necessarily that it was created in a lab or that it was intentionally let out from a lab. But we can't even say that. We can't even say that. We can't even say that anymore without being called conspiracy theorists. Look, all I want is the truth. I don't care. I don't care. I don't think that the Chinese went and made this virus and then intentionally released it. But we have to know the truth. I mean, what happened to science in the last year? Yeah, I think this is a, you know, there's a couple things embedded in your question. Science has become, I think science and expertise have been destroyed.

we'll see if it's permanent. There's certainly a massive amount of politicization of science, the best journals in the world. New England Journal, Lancet, Science, Nature, journal of the AMA have become completely politicized, editorialized, and in fact have published, you know, defamatory garbage. It's embarrassing. The second part of that is that the undermining of the,

term expert has been really destructive, I think, because with this sort of censorship, this outrage, this failure for people to say they were grossly wrong and instead lash out and defame people like me who were correct. And I was correct over and over again about every single thing, as were others, those people who have continued to sort of twist and distort my words and others have undermined the entire process of seeking the truth that we need to solve crises like this. And so that kind of heavy-handed rebuking censorship, bullying, and all these official and unofficial statements emanating out of universities, including my own, really have been harmful because what happens is you get the second part of that.

Sorry, we're out of time. Dr. Scott Atlas, the last. word find it at Stanford review.org. Sorry, I hate network breaks where I don't have any choice. Let me tell you a little bit about REC tech. It is going to be beautiful here in

Texas this weekend and I will be cooking on my RECTEC. Now, this is the time of the year that I will actually stay outside but I don't have to do any of the work. I literally, I burn everything on a grill.

There is no, I don't know how to do it. I'm 50-some years old. I still don't know how to grill right. That is the biggest thing that the rec tech has brought into my life is I don't burn really good food anymore because it does everything that I need it to do. It's, okay, it's smarter than I am. Okay. You know, it's like, you got to be smarter than the door. Yeah, that's an insult.

But you got to be smarter than rec tech. I gotta It is It is it's smarter than me And it has smart grill technology And it will tell you when everything is ready to go All you have to do is put it on Turn it on and do what it says

Thank you so much for listening. Do you remember, do you remember when we, when we, when we went back to,

I want to talk about the Suez Canal. By the way, you're talking in my ear. We're talking about the Suez Canal, but I want to go back to a time when we were talking about the USS Fitzgerald. The USS Fitzgerald was a giant cargo ship. And it was head. south away from Japan about 64 miles off the coast. And then another ship was heading southeast, but at 121 a.m. It made a 90-degree turn and was heading, it would have missed the Fitzgerald. But five minutes later, it turned again this time back east directly towards the U.S. ship. Do you remember when this happened?

You don't even listen to me anymore, do you? No, not usually, no. So the two collided at 1 o'clock in the morning. This is off the coast of, I think, Japan. This is a few years ago, a couple of years ago. Okay. And they collided. And if you look at what happened, the crystal, the ACX crystal, which is the boat that rammed the U.S. Navy ship, they said, we couldn't control the boat.

We lost all control of the boat. we lost power. Right. And it was clear that it was steering, but they weren't steering it. Okay. And it was something the Navy was investigating is somebody hacking in to these ships to be able to just take over any ship and then use them as a ramming device.

The only reason why I bring this up is because what happened in the Suez Canal, the Suez Canal in case you don't know is super important for everybody's economy and it has been for a long time. In World War II it was so important, the Suez Canal was so important, they put these giant lights on the Suez Canal because the... No, no. Not this again. Not the Suez Canal World War II story again. Really? Again, I don't think I've ever told it on the era.

I don't know if you've ever told it on the air, but you've told it to everyone in this building 54 times. There was a big light on Suez Canal in World War II. Then tell the story. Tell the story. You know it so well. I don't remember it or was listening to it at any point when you told it. You are the worst. You are the worst, actually.

You are the worst. This is a great story. It involves a magician. I mean, it's a great story. The reason I know the Suez Canal light is because you have it in your office. Yes. And that's why I tell the story. People go and they come in and they're like, what is that? What is that? Hold on. I got to call into the board. I want to show, I want to show people this.

You are the worst. No, I want to. Okay. What is your way? What is your, what is your point? No, I want to show. I want to show people. People. Okay. Here, I want to show people exactly. Good. Show them the light. Show them the light. Hold on. I'm walking down. I'm walking down the hallway now.

Let's see. To your office. Uh-huh. And first of all, you're not a pack rat at all. I just want to make sure, just in the hallway. This is, you've got dresses for movies here. No, that's Dorothy and the Flying Monkey outfit. Sure it is. Uh-huh.

Then over here we've got all the Star Wars stuff all over. Just randomly. That's cool. That's cool. Have you seen, by the way, have you seen the C-3PL that just came in? We have to have it repaired. I guess we have some people from. Here's it.

Oh, look. It's Abraham Lincoln's head in a box. All right. I'm trying to tell the story about the Suez Canal. All right. Go now. Oh, there's Jeffrey. You keep him around too and no one understands it.

Oh, here's a giant robot. Yeah. Okay, we got it. We got it. We got it. I can't believe you're making fun of me on this. This is a great story. Oh, is it?

Yeah, it is. Look at this. This is in his office. Okay. There's just a giant spotlight next to his polar bear, of course, obviously. Just a giant spotlight from the Suez Canal. From the 19, from the 1940s during the Second World War. And why is it in? Wait. What's this?

You just have a bow. It's just a bow on his desk. You know what it is. Shut up. Just a bow sitting on his desk. That's just, it's just, it's. It's what? Nothing.

Nothing. Nothing. It's an important bow. It's all it is. It's, you know, it's nothing. It was just something I'm, you know, that I just, uh. You don't want to tell people what it is. No, because you're going to make fun of me.

That's why. Why else am I here? Of course I'm making fun of you. Yeah. This is the, the bow from Hunger Games. Cat, catnus, right? Or whatever. Catnus is bow.

Why did you listen to that story and you didn't listen? to the tell me about the magician you have been in my room a million a okay turn him off turn him off uh here's here is the thing it was so important

because so much material goes through oil everything if you lose the Suez Canal you have to go all the way around Africa and it adds at least 14 days and is he still out

in the hallway just making fun of me? What are you doing? I was just walking back to the studio. I didn't know it was back on. So anyway, so everything goes through the Suez Canal. I believe there is a chance that this ship

might have been digitally hijacked. Because how come that is never Stu, would you please come back in the studio? This is like you looking in a mirror here, Glenn. Look at that. Shut up, you jerk. He's now in the lobby and showing the head of the stay puff marshmallow man.

You incredible jerk. Okay. So anyway, hurry up. Come on back in real quick. Okay. You're just in time. You're just in time to hear the Suez Canal. Spotlight story.

So that spotlight, they tried to confuse the Germans. I think it was the Germans that were trying to bomb the Suez Canal to stop the flow of oil into into unoccupied Europe and Great Britain. So they put these giant spotlights down on the canal and then they hired a magician to put some sort of spinner inside of. those lights and those lights would come up onto the planes and it wasn't just to spot the plane so you could shoot them down in that case it was to disorient the pilots so they couldn't bomb the suez canal now a pack rat would have found the spinners I don't have the spinners so you don't have the spinners. You just have the light from the Suez Canal. It's not to say that I haven't looked and spent years looking for the spinners. But anyway, if you happen to have those Suez Canal

spinners out there and you want to buy her. Is that not a great story? Seriously. I mean, now it's not because I didn't tell it well because he was involved. But that's a great piece of history. And that we went to a magician to save the Suez Canal. Come on. Can we go back to a magician? Can we go back to a to save the Suez Canal now. Gosh, that would be nice. Needs a magician to save this stupid break in this show up from you. American financing.

American financing is stop looking at me. I'm just keep... I'm curious if American financing can provide a loan to buy a spinner for the Suez Canal. Did they offer that type of lending program? Is that something...

I mean, if you went to them with a great credit score, they'd be like, You know what? Here's hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a light. It would not be hundreds of thousands of dollars. It would not. It would be cheap because nobody would know what it is. It's like the rat that I have from Ian Fleming.

A rat. Yeah, you know the rat story. And you know this is a, yeah, you know that's a great piece of history and a great story. Oh, it's a great story. I don't know that I want to own the rat with the explosives. You just have a story that everybody goes, huh. But you don't have the rat and you could say, look, this is true. history of this rat and they're like, I can't believe you have a rat in your office.

And then when you tell them the story, they're like, that is cool. That is, it's a cool. If you're going to have an explosive rat, that's the one to have. Oh my gosh, you are such a jerk, such a jerk. American financing can help you with your mortgage like they help stew. And I'm going to call them to make sure that they don't ever help him again.

It's worth the price of admission and worth the price of your subscription. It certainly is. I mean, look, it was fun to make fun of you on the radio, but I was ready to start fresh. I was ready to start fresh. Yeah. Well, I just think I think people should consider the fact that there was just a moment where on, if you're watching on Blaze TV, you got to see your face side by side with a stay puff marshmallow man as we discussed how it looked like you were just looking into a mirror.

And I never really saw the resemblance. Were you, are you made of marshmallow or did you give birth to the marshmallow man? Because you are definitely related, I would say. And the decapitated Abraham Lincolnhead was a nice touch. Typical conservative racist would want to decapitator. Abraham Lincoln and that's what Glenn is done. He's got Abraham Lincoln in a box. You know what that head is.

You know what that head is. I know what it is. It's a symbol of your hate. Abraham Lincoln is decapitated head is living in a box in our studios. It's not. On display, by the way. It's not. I mean, it's just dark.

You know what it is. No, it is. Do you not know what it is? It's actually a really cool story. Okay. Right. This one I think I did listen to. Go ahead.

So, Lard, all, this is the outline. Okay. Disney was working on. something, Walt Disney, was working on something with Abraham Lincoln, a robot of some sort. Oh my gosh, you are. An Abraham Lincoln robot. And then this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is like a father and his son as the father is listening. All right. Tell me what you've learned. What have you taken? And he tells it this way.

This is how, it makes me want to hang myself. You should understand this is how everyone hears your stories. I just want to be straight up with you. Okay. Okay. So an Amber, there's an Abraham Lincoln robot. he was building, but it wasn't ready. But they needed, it was almost ready to be shown on TV or live. And Walt Disney needed to light the robot, like input lighting on it, but it wasn't ready. So he took a styrofoam Abraham Lincoln head and put it on a broomstick so he could light it before the robot was ready. You have the styrofoam head. How close am I to that?

That's not bad. I think it's 75% of the facts. You must remain 50 feet away from. any artifact. I want a restraining order on you. I got to say, that was better than I thought I'd do at the beginning of the story. Yes, that is the outlines of the story told very poorly. Yes, I didn't say I was going to tell it well.

But thank you for that. But it is kind of cool. You have a lot of these items around here. Are these that eventually go into the museum next door? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the museum is apparently like legit. I always think of you as like a just a pack rat that just buys weird weird things. No, it's all tell the American story.

They all are a part of little people. I mean, for instance, the Suez Canal light, that that is not the story of the Suez Canal. That's the story of somebody thinking, how are we going to confuse the Germans? How are we going to get this canal to remain open and them not bomb? any of the Suez Canal. I don't know. Somebody thinking out of the box and going, have we called a magician?

I mean, who thinks of that? That is a strange thought. Who thinks of that? And then the magician getting the call and going, yes, I think I can develop something that will confuse the pilots. That's a great story. It's always about the individual coming up. It's not government.

It's the individual coming up with something that has never been done before. That happens over and over and matter of this book, how innovation works. We talked to Matt Ridley a few months ago. That whole book is filled with the most important things in your life that are developed not by like some crazy expert, but by people just playing with things, tinkering with things on their own and, you know, coming up with incredible things that have changed the world. Correct. I mean, and that is, that's the American story. That's what you lose. You know, when they talk about infrastructure investment, we don't invest.

and they're not talking about roads and bridges. What they're really talking about is investing your tax dollars into companies to have a public-private partnership so we can beat China on things. We're way ahead of China on many things, on many things, most things. Chips, computer chips, they are 10 years away from being able to make their own computer chips. And the only reason why they're that close is because they had to see. steal our technology. We don't need these

public-private partnerships. We need government to get out of the way. The American people will and always have led the way and found the way to do the impossible. It's not a giant corporation. It is not

a giant government. It's the individual that matters. Not the collective. Have a safe weekend.
