In the near future, travel may require a digital documentation showing that you have been vaccinated or tested for the coronavirus. Among governments and those in the travel industry, a new term has entered the vocabulary, a vaccine passport. One of Joe Biden's executive orders aimed at curbing the pandemic asked,
Starting point is 00:04:13 government agencies to assess the feasibility of linking coronavirus vaccine certificates with other vaccination documents and producing a digital passport. Denmark's government said that in the next three or four months, it's going to roll out its digital passport that'll be able to show people that have been vaccinated. It isn't just governments that are suggesting vaccine passports in a few weeks. EOD Airlines and Emirates will start using digital travel passes. The International Transportation Association is backing this as well. So here's what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:04:55 They want to give you a digital passport, whether that'll be a stick or something you scan or whatever that just says, I've had all my vaccines. It seems like it's going to be one of these things in your like wallet on your iPhone. where you can like when you board a plane, it's your boarding pass, right? If you have an iPhone, think of, think of, this to me is white privilege. Think of how many people don't have an iPhone around the world. Think about how many people don't have access to the vaccine. Think about that. So they're not going to be.
Starting point is 00:05:28 It's a two-tiered society. It is a two-tiered society. And America is getting it first. I say on this one, we wait until everyone else on the planet has a digital passport. Wow. Then you give it to us. That's so nice. Well, I'm just trying to get, I'm trying to embrace my white privilege here.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Let's see. It's all about trying to digitize a process that happens now and make it into something that allows for more harmony and more ease. That sounds good. Harmony and ease. Here's a, doesn't it? Yeah. Here's a, here's a disturbing paragraph. IBM has been developing its own.
Starting point is 00:06:10 digital health pass. IBM as IBM? Yeah, IBM's got a long record of of helping sort people out. I think that's fantastic. You know, a completely unrelated story.
Starting point is 00:06:29 A New York Times bestseller, Edwin Black, wrote a book about IBM and the Holocaust. But that's completely different. This is a digital health pass from IBM, and it would enable individuals to present proof of vaccination or a negative test to gain access to public locations, such as a sports stadium, airplane, university, workplaces, the mall, stores. The pass built on IBM's blockchain technology can utilize multiple data types, including temperature checks, virus exposure notifications, test results, and vaccine status. Not only is IBM looking into this, the World Economic Forum and the Commons Project Foundation, a Swiss nonprofit group, have begun testing a digital health program. pass called common pass, which would allow travelers to travel all over the world with all of
Starting point is 00:07:35 their information. The pass would generate a QR code that could be shown to authorities. Oh, man. Now, I can't think of what could possibly go wrong here. Um, one person, uh, who, uh, you know, kind of, kind of, kind of works in, uh, in the, the, uh, digital world, uh, said, uh, it took us 50 years to develop a global passport system for people. Uh, because there's a lot of security that goes around along with that. Maybe we shouldn't rush to one that has access to people's information. You can see the risk there a little bit. I'm a little.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I am a little torn on this one. Don't you want to get back to normal? Yes. I mean, I know you're saying that sarcastically, but yes, I do. And I will say, I'm not going to be for a government system like this. I'm not going to say I want requirements of these things. I will say, however, it is incredibly frustrating that we live in a country that 30% of the people have had the virus. and an additional 10% of the people have been vaccinated. So we're talking about 40% of the population now estimated
Starting point is 00:09:06 that should be able to do pretty much whatever they want. But because of largely the left and this idea of a two-tiered society where we can't allow people to go out and go to restaurants and bars and sporting events because the people who haven't had the virus won't be able to do that. The people who haven't been vaccinated won't be able to do that. And therefore, you know, that's unfair. And it's like, well, I don't know. To the bar owner, do they think it's unfair?
Starting point is 00:09:38 Do they really, you know what? I want to make sure we don't have a two-tier society. Therefore, I'm going to let my business collapse completely. Like, it would be nice for our economy to allow people who don't have to think about these things at this point, overwhelmingly, to be able to do them. Well, of course, you would say that. I would because I'm on the right. side of it. Somebody was at the Super Bowl and has been tested several times and just doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Oh, the next virus that is coming out of
Starting point is 00:10:08 COVID-19, COVID-20. You didn't have to have COVID-19 to understand 20. Oh, really? No. You can just get 20 and it'll kill you. Dead. Dead. Dead. Like 95% of the population dead. Really? Because of the mutate. It's coming. It's coming, Stu, it's coming. Now, in, again, a completely unrelated article, let's put those digital passports to the side, okay? Because that's convenient for you. You said harmony and ease was your summary? Yeah, harmony and ease.
Starting point is 00:10:48 It's harmonious. And it's easy. Okay. It's like, I don't know why people don't give the. the TSA, their retina scan. Oh, that sounds harmonious. It's easy. You just go in and just scan your eyes.
Starting point is 00:11:07 The retina just gives absolutely every bit of information about you. But don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Get on the plane faster. In a new post from the International Monetary Fund, what's really new in FinTech, financial tech, What's really new? Well, the authors suggest that rapid technological change is coming in the financial industry.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And in lieu of this change, they're looking at it and saying, well, you know what? What should we be thinking about in the financial industry? So there's according to the IMF and the European C, central bank. I love the central banks. Like the Fed, they're fantastic. They've been doing some research and they say there's a couple of financial innovations that the world should get on board with. First, information. There are new tools out there to collect and analyze data on customers. That way they can really determine your creditworthiness. And another is communications, a way that we can we can communicate with the bank and the bank can communicate with us.
Starting point is 00:12:32 So they're looking at, I mean, the first thing they want to do is determine creditworthiness. And they say the most innovative information piece is the new type of data that comes from the digital footprint of customers, various online activities. This will help the banks. Decide if you're credit worthy for a loan. Credit scoring, they say in the old days, was on income, employment time, assets, and debts. But that really doesn't give us a snapshot on who people really are. So how do we get really good?
Starting point is 00:13:24 information. For instance, a lot of kids, they can't get loans for, you know, $400,000 house because they just got out of college. Not fair. And that's not fair. How do they establish credit? I mean, we've all said that, right? When we were young, if you won't give me credit, how could I establish credit? Right? Right. Well, that's what the I be, that's, that's what the IMF is all about to make sure that kids can get credit. So what they're going to to do is they're looking at different information on certain kinds of people, like entrepreneurs, innovators, informal workers. Maybe there's just not enough information available. So what do we do? Well, they've resolved the dilemma by tapping into various non-financial data, the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases. Now, why would my bank need to know what I've been searching online for?
Starting point is 00:14:37 Why? Recent research documents that once powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, these alternative data sources are often superior to direct. traditional credit assessment methods and can advance financial inclusion. So the type of browser used could potentially indicate a different ranking for browsers that heavily track users like Chrome. But if you use Brave, that emphasizes privacy. So I don't know if you are really credit worthy.
Starting point is 00:15:17 So the IMF seems to be suggesting that the banking network is going to begin using a history of online searches and purchases to determine your creditworthiness. So if I read CNN and I buy sports magazines, I'm good. if I listen to Fox or I read my news from the blaze or daily wire have you bought food preparation stuff? Have you even been looking at that kind of stuff because that makes me a little worry
Starting point is 00:15:59 that you might not be able to make a car loan so I'm not sure we can give you that loan. Wait a minute, hold on just a second. I just saw another piece of data. apparently he's been against digital passports too. I don't know if we can even have him as a bank customer. He's that kind of crazy. Uh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Okay. Let me tell you about timeshare termination team. Time share termination team. Boy, don't you wish you had some data on the people that were trying to sell you that, huh? The little smarmy guy that comes out as like, hey, listen, and have another drink, okay? I tell you, all the drinks are free,
Starting point is 00:16:48 and the contract and all that stuff. We'll talk about that later. I have a couple more drinks, well, yeah, my pen's not working right now, otherwise I'd give you that contract. I'll wait a couple of hours, maybe six or seven drinks into it. All free.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And now you're sitting there with a timeshare that you can't use, you can't afford, and you just want out. Well, no more maintenance fees, no more hassle, no more disappointment, no more pain in the butt. You're wise enough now to make sure you're not scanned again. Listen, I tell you what, I can get you out of this.
Starting point is 00:17:25 But here, have a couple of free drinks. There are no free drinks. There's no, you know, hotel meetings.

Isn't it necessary that all of us review our own attitude and say yes, it is possible for men and women of goodwill to differ? Ten seconds, station ID. Almost deep program these people who have signed up off their social media. First, Google an app.
Starting point is 00:20:36 There's a propel to investigate Republican colleagues. Democrats senators have filed ethics complaints against two of their Republican colleagues. The left is trying to push these businesses to shame them and threaten them into shunning and silencing Trump supporters and conservatives. They're pushing them to fire people even. Culture is a wildfire that you cannot contain. If you pour gasoline onto it, don't be surprised when it finally reaches you and you get burned. Every business needs to stand up for every American. For you too.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Yesterday, I told you about the Cowboys for Trump, the guy who started Cowboys for Trump. Let me just remind you that he's still in jail because he's too much of a danger. He's a flight risk because, well, he won't accept. This is the judge. He won't accept that Donald Trump lost Feren Square. And I think we can't post a bail for him. This is from the judge.
Starting point is 00:21:54 We can't. He can't post bail because he's a flight risk. He's crazy enough to believe that. He might believe I'm part of the conspiracy. Oh my gosh. Wait until you hear what the judge just ruled on the left-wing activist. Nancy lives in Texas. She's always liked riding horses.
Starting point is 00:22:19 She had to slow down if she started to feel real pain in her joints, head to toe. It was just overwhelming for her. She heard about relief factor from my program and decided she'd give it a try. Nancy lives in Texas. She rides horses. I'm sure she's a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen and that commercial where he wore a cowboy hat. That was so uniting. Anyway, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:22:42 She decided that she was. would give it a try. It didn't work overnight for Nancy, but she didn't give up hope. She kept up with it. She said that for a few weeks. She did begin to notice a difference in the pain levels. After a month, her pain was nearly gone. Nowadays, she's on her horse, and she feels young again, ready to go. She's got her life back, and so can you. Relief factor, not a drug. It was developed by doctors. 70% of the people who try it, go on to order more.

Starting point is 00:23:26 And head over to blazedtiv.com slash glen. The promo code is Glenn for 30 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV. Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It's Tuesday. Stu is back from the Super Bowl. How was it? It was great. You know, I mean, the Super Bowl's, I love it. It was very strange. Because you've gone for 10 years? Gone of into 16 Super Bowls. 16 Super Bowls.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Tom Brady has played in eight of them. That's amazing. Played in half of the games. And I have to tell you, we talked about it yesterday. I mean, this is just proof positive. He is the greatest quarterback of all time. You disagree? No, I unfortunately have to agree.
Starting point is 00:24:18 It's quite clear at this point. It's quite clear. When you go to Tampa, a team that was struggling and you turn that team around and you win the Super Bowl, your first year there. I mean, that's really saying something. They have a lot of talent. It's a good football team. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 00:24:34 He's actually won Super Bowls with worse teams than the Tampa. But still, it was an amazing, it's an amazing guy. He's like, he's an old man. Of course, he's younger than me, but he's an old man. He looks, he pisses me off. He pisses me off. Too many good things have happened to him. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:52 You know how you're like, oh, gosh, 2020, 2020. They suck so far. That's because Tom Brady is taking all the good things. He's selfishly acquired all positive things in life. It is too, I think. Yeah. It's a little sad. So was it weird?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Because it seemed, and I don't know if the roar of the crowd was artificially generated or what. No, yeah. It was just 25,000 people. But 25,000 people could be pretty loud. And it seemed really loud in the stadium. it was oddly, and I'm sure they covered this, but they had all the cardboard people everywhere. They didn't really talk about it. They just showed it. They showed it. And it felt even in the stadium like it was full.
Starting point is 00:25:35 With the exception, of course, you could see the backup cardboard people in front of you. But when you looked across the field, it just felt normal. I mean, it was loud. It was with the exception of like in between plays, it would get a little quieter than I think was normal. That was a little strange. I will say as well, a lot of health care heroes there. We love our health care heroes. They're all wearing the little health care. Heroes badge.
Starting point is 00:25:55 I will also say some of the health care heroes judging by the amount they were drinking may have needed their own health care heroes later in the evening. I will say, I don't know if it was the if anyone deserves a great party it's our health care heroes.
Starting point is 00:26:11 The guys who went in, the women and men who went in at the very beginning when we were like this could be like a combination of Ebola, leprosy and the Common cold. Right. You know, those guys have
Starting point is 00:26:25 face that, you know, you might want to have a drink or two. Yeah, and they took advantage of that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:29 I feel like they, whatever money they were going to spend on a Super Bowl ticket they spent on Budweiser. Did you see that the average, the worst state for drinking in the last year has been, is Michigan?
Starting point is 00:26:42 The average person took 17 hard liquor drinks a week. In Michigan. That's a lot. 17 and a, an average of 17. in a week. 17. An average.
Starting point is 00:26:55 That can't be true. I mean, otherwise, don't buy a car built in Michigan. I mean, that's a lot. That's a lot. That is a lot. And you realize, too, like, I saw some of the shaming that was going on afterward. It's like, people are outside, generally speaking. You know, they were gathering, they were celebrating a Super Bowl championship.
Starting point is 00:27:17 You're not going to stop that. I mean, unless you, you know, you go back to prohibition and you enforce it with the power of the child. Chinese government. You're not going to be able to stop. I know. We're in there. It seems like that's the road they want to go down. It is. It is the road we are going down. Not necessarily the alcohol part of it, right? I mean, no. I don't know the alcohol part of it. I'm just saying like you'd have to go back to Prohibition to stop these pictures. They're always like, oh gosh, look at these people. They're gathering. They're having a good time. They're near each other. Well, look, that is going to occur. And especially
Starting point is 00:27:50 when you start drinking. People felt like it was the first. thing that we did, the first normal thing America has gone through in a year was a Super Bowl because it at least appeared on television as everybody was together and it was normal. I mean, it was definitely weird to be there. But generally speaking, you know, and I keep telling this to people that I know across the country, you don't understand what it's like right now to live in Florida. or Texas. It's just pretty much normal.
Starting point is 00:28:26 It is. Again, I understand that, like, yes, the mask thing gets people very pissed off around here. Shut up. You know, you get that. On both sides. Shut up. I'm so sick of talking about masks. I am too.
Starting point is 00:28:37 I'm so sick of it. Mainly because my wife is, like, the number one anti-mask person in the universe. So it's all she thinks about and talks about all the time. But it's like, it's all, everybody thinks about all the time. The mask thing is like, it's still a factor here whenever, but you know, Florida does not have a state mask mandate. Every place you walk into, you still got to wear the mask. The same way you do in every other state because that's just the way it is right now until this, you know, we get past this thing.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I think we all are in a place where we understand that. But like, it's just like with the exception of there's not as many people at there's not as many sporting events. There's not as many concerts, things like that. But generally speaking, it's pretty normal. You talk to someone who lives in California. They think that it's like they believe lockdown is still here because many, ways it is in these places. New York and California, you know, if you're a liberal there, you think states like California, I mean, like Florida and Texas are insane. Yeah. Insane. And you can't
Starting point is 00:29:35 people come from those environments. They can't understand. They feel out of place. They don't know how to interact with people anymore. That's weird. And then you look at like the pictures from Florida where people are outdoors gathering, having a good time, maybe not taking the best precautions in this environment. They're drunk. They're drunk. And so what do you do when you're, you're losing your inhibitions, right? Like, so these things are... Like, screw the mass! That fouchy is a piece of garbage.
Starting point is 00:30:00 So that happens. Right. And then all the people in New York and California are like, I can't believe these bastards. They are the reason we're having all these problems. And they shame and shame and shame. You go back to their social media feeds from the day after the election and maybe the BLM riots. They don't have the same opinion about people being close to each other without mass on.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I mean, they don't understand. coronavirus, if you lick it off the breast of a prostitute, it's not a problem. Right. And that's the solution. But it's fascinating when all of this is known that Florida and Texas have better results than California and New York. Follow the science. And it's like, well, I could understand if it was the reverse. If California and New York had great results, Florida, Texas had terrible results, you might look at like the difference.
Starting point is 00:30:52 here and say, well, those bastards are just being, they're not being careful enough. I'd understand that. I would too. But it is the literal reverse and they still keep doing it. For those of us who live in these states, we wondered, oh boy, if this turns out the opposite, we're doomed. There was a chance. And it didn't.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And look at us now. What are you waiting for? In California, what are you waiting for? I mean, I know the answer to this question. Utopia. Fauci came out and said, we're probably not going to be able to get rid of masks even this year. I mean,
Starting point is 00:31:32 maybe in fault. Maybe in fault for that. Yeah, I think red states are. I hate it. I know. I know. I think you'll see that in New York and California where they'll keep this stuff on as long as possible. They don't seem to be interested in opening things up.
Starting point is 00:31:50 You know, sudden, you know, dumb Andrew Cuomo is out there and he's saying, well, we're going to open up indoor restaurants at like 1%. Because when they were open at 100%, as you know, Glenn, every one of them fails every three years.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Like 70% of restaurants fail every three years when it was 100% open. Let me tell you something here. Ray C, the governor of New York. I worked out to math. And it's a lot. lot less expensive if they're hiring everybody to run the restaurant. But they can only make 25% of what it takes to run the restaurant.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So I'm helping them out. What's the problem? Pharma the guts. You better hope that your fattest 25% of customers show up. You're going to have a lot of problems. Yeah. It's like opening a all you can eat buffet. and only three fat customers show up.
Starting point is 00:32:53 It's a problem. Okay? It's a problem. You're not, you're going to go out of business. You make your money on the skinnies. You know? You make your money on table turnovers.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Right. I mean, if you're not turning over a table three times a night, you're not going to make it. This is why I'm so passionate about not just open it up. I'm passionate about getting this, getting rid of this freaking virus. because we keep, like, as conservatives, we think, well, just open it up.
Starting point is 00:33:25 We'll go out, right? And we'll go. Just let us go, right? And that's totally what conservatives would do. However, restaurants also depend on annoying liberals. And when 30, 40% of the population says, I'm not going out there with this virus, it doesn't matter if they open it up. That's great.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yes, they'll do a little bit better, but they will still all collapse. Then all conservative restaurants should have some sort of a marking. I don't know, maybe a little yellow star that we can all go to and go, okay, let's support these guys. Liberals aren't going to do it. I mean, of course, I would argue for personal liberty and all of these circumstances anyway. So, I mean, to me it's. But I mean, you know, I'm sick and tired. I am, you know, we're going to bail out New York.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Oh, yeah. Illinois. That's going to be the answer. It's going to be the answer. We are going to bail out. And I have to tell you, that is. one of my lines. That's one of my lines. I don't know what I'm going to do. What color is the line? Only red lines are the ones that matter. This is more of a mauve. It looks nice on you.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's very nice. It's a mauve color. So it's not red, but it's got a hint of it in there. All right. So a mauve line. A mauve line. This is my mauve line that if I'm, wait a minute, you want me, to pay for college when I couldn't afford to go to college, so I didn't go. And I've been working to get my kids into college, which now my kids won't probably be into any colleges, any good colleges, because white privilege. So I've worked hard so my kids could go to college, even though I didn't. And yet the people who have taken out giant loans, this is, by the way, helping more of the wealthy. that you know, it's not the, it's not the poor people.
Starting point is 00:35:19 It's a lot of the wealthy people. They took out these giant loans, went to Harvard, and now we're going to give them the money. We're going to just forgive their loans? Uh, no. No, mm-mm-mm. I didn't live in California. See, Californians, you at least got the beach.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah. And the beautiful weather. I mean, you paid for it. Yeah, you paid for it in hassle. And taxes. Right. But I, wait a. minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's one reason why I didn't live there. I've always wanted to
Starting point is 00:35:51 live in California, but it's crazy. It's just crazy what you guys have been doing. So I haven't. Okay, you can celebrate all you want, but now I have to pay for the mess you guys made? Uh, I don't think so. Ha, uh, why would I get into that suicide pack with you? You'd drag us all down. No. And it's not just there, right? It's there. It's New York. It's Michigan. It's Illinois. It's all of these places. All these states. Completely tanked their economy because of the COVID thing. Completely tanked it. And before that, they were all union states that had great control of the unions and great control for the teachers unions and for the fire. unions and everybody else when the math didn't work. I really feel bad for firemen and police officers who have been screwed by the system. I mean, I got news for you.
Starting point is 00:36:59 You're going to get screwed. There's not enough money. But it's the union's fault because they told you that these magic trees worked when all of us were standing around going, guys, the math doesn't work. Right now, there's 20 of you paying for one retiree. but in, you know, 2015, there will be two of you
Starting point is 00:37:22 for every 40 retirees. Not going to work. Yeah, it didn't work then. And then after this year, no. I mean, none of this stuff is going to work. It's going to require constant money printing.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Like, people are like, oh, like Elon Musk. I mean, he's talked about Bitcoin, and now it's up to 46,000 per Bitcoin. Well, yeah, that's part of it. But, I mean, the, the under, well, the under arching sort of like overarching I guess the way of talking about this is like everyone recognizes they're going to be printing money at an impossible rate for eternity. Yep.
Starting point is 00:37:57 So I don't know. The thing that has a absolute maximum limit of amount, Bitcoin with 21 million, well, no wonder it's going to go up. Bitcoin is going to be at 100 grand. By the end of the year, Bitcoin will be at 100 grand. And it's because Elon Musk just made a big move. and I've I've read that Apple is considering putting $5 billion. Yeah. Elon must have $1.5 billion through Tesla.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Apple is considering putting $5 billion. Once Apple, if they make that move, look for the herd of financial buffalo that are going to roll into that thing. All righty.

I don't think they mean what you think they mean. You should see the curriculum. We'll go over it because it's coming your way in 60 seconds. One thing I've learned about men ever since being informed by my wife is that we're simple. I think that's what she said. She may have said simple-minded, but I think it was simple.
Starting point is 00:44:42 They were just simple. We're just, we're simple. Anyway, the point is we have simple desires. Meat, sex, sleep. I mean, I think that's pretty much it. I think that's pretty much it. And if we could do all three of them at the same time, I mean, that's utopia, really.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Now, Rectech is not going to help you with two of the three, but if you are looking for great, great food, If you're looking for great meat on the grill, my gosh.

Check it out now at Rectec.c.c.c.c.c.com. That's R-E-C-E-Q.com. So there is something going on in California that is, quite disturbing, quite disturbing. We have taken critical race theory and we're putting it into
Starting point is 00:46:26 K through 12. And it is going to divide us in little groups. I mean, look at how we already are so divided. And it's all coming under the equal rights. Hey, let's all, let's let's let's let's let's all end racism. No, that this is going to further it. This is really dangerous stuff that's happening in California. And Wen Yan Wu is the executive director of Californians for equal rights. Dr. Wu is also one of the people that brought the lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I think it was against Harvard or was it Yale that Biden just dismissed. about how they were just dismissing Asians because we have too many Asians here. Too many Asians. And it's okay to apparently do that to Asians. Yeah. Certain groups it's okay to discriminate against us, as Ibram Kendi has told us. So Dr. Wu, welcome to the program. How are you?
Starting point is 00:47:31 I am good. Good morning. And thank you for having me today. And please stay when you are. Thank you. Can you just, let's just get a quick comment on the dismissal of your case. in the Ivy League schools by the government this this this week. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:47 So in 2016, May 2016, my home group, Asian American Coalition for Education brought a federal civil rights complaint against Yale. It's alleged anti-Asian discrimination in admissions. And after a two-year investigation by the Trump administration's Department of Justice, they concluded that Yale, in fact, discriminated against Asian American applicants with quotas, highest standards, and stereotypes, all these, you know, good stuff. And last year, last August, DOJ launched a federal lawsuit against Yale as a result of
Starting point is 00:48:31 our civil rights complaint. So we were very happy to see that result and that lawsuit. but it's kind of expected that the Biden administration would rollback would dismiss this lawsuit. Wow, just eight days after the administration signed an executive order combating anti-Asian xenophobia and racism. So you see the glaring irony here, right? So are they really for equal rights? Are they or they are just about ideology, racial spoils and identity politics.
Starting point is 00:49:15 So let me switch now to California because the same kind of thing is happening in California on a mass scale with the ethnic studies, the curriculum that has been released. We have seen the first draft. I know they're up on the third draft now, but some of these things are really disturbing. First of all, it seems to be the motive to put everybody into a little category, a little box, and make sure you understand your divisions. There is a, in the curriculum, a historic U.S. social movements, Black Lives Matter, Me Too, criminal justice reform, but it also includes boycott divestment and sanctions movement for Palestine,
Starting point is 00:50:00 described as a global social movement that currently aims to establish freedom for Palestinians living under apartheid conditions. holy cow it also teaches that the 1948 Israel War of Independence they refer to that as Nakba which if you know anything about the Arab world that is what they
Starting point is 00:50:24 call the Day of Independence in Arabic it means catastrophe John Lewis Martin Luther King Justice Thurgo Marshall were not in the influential people section however Pol Pot
Starting point is 00:50:40 was in. That's right. Capitalism classified as a form of power and oppression, although classism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and transphobia were listed as forms of oppression. Anti-Semitism was not. What? What is this?
Starting point is 00:51:00 This is becoming reality. So before we delve into the, you know, the technical details of this very, very divisive and problematic third draft, third and final draft of ethnic studies model curriculum. I would like to just talk a little bit about my background and also how I got involved. So currently, as you introduced, I am with Californians for equal rights, non-partisan and nonprofit organization with a mission to promote the principles of equality and merit. and between fighting for equal education rights of Asian American students from my home group
Starting point is 00:51:44 and defending California's constitutional principle of equal rights and pushing back this ideological invasion of critical ethnic studies in California's K-12 education. When you in, I think that in the old days, people would have thought, well, then, you know, Glenn Beck and when you and Wu have, have, you know, they're on different sides. of the, no, I think we both define equal rights in an opposite way than what is now being pushed in California. You're saying, let's understand that everybody has the same access and the same rights. That's not what's being taught now. No, not at all, not at all. And this is very, very dangerous. So the movement in California regarding this ethnic studies model curriculum, in my opinion, must be understood in relation to these systematic assaults on equal treatment
Starting point is 00:52:48 and merit in the Golden State and beyond. In 2020, I had the honor to be part of the heroic non-16 campaign, which successfully defeated a racial preference ballot measure, Proposition 16, on the state ballot with an impressive margin of 57% versus 43% even though I can. So if people don't know, that was the vote to reverse the discrimination laws that you could discriminate for social justice, right? Right, right, exactly. So that ballot measure would have reversed a very important principle in the California Constitution, which clearly states that the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential
Starting point is 00:53:38 treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting. But the California state legislature is perennially obsessed with race and is even currently considering a list of bills that it would have reinstated. racial preferences in a number of public policy areas. And these race-obsessed lawmakers also have powerful allies, such as the University of California teachers unions and even the California Chamber of Commerce, which all endorsed racial preferences last year.
Starting point is 00:54:18 And in the meantime, it's crazy. And in the meantime, you know, our quality of K212 education in California continues to decline with low income and a minority students. being heard the most. So for example, over 60% of California students grades 3 to 11 cannot do math proficiently and only 50% can read proficient. Oh my gosh. And there is a persistent racial achievement gap of course. But instead of legislating or promoting policies that address root causes behind the gaps in the distimal state of public education, these politicians and civil
Starting point is 00:54:59 servants. I call them idea the problem. First with racial preferences, then with dumbing down the standards, and now with political indoctrination in this very divisive ethnic studies model curriculum, and I would like to, you know, go into talking about this critical ethnic studies. Okay, so it's... All right, so hang on. We're talking to Dr. Wu, Executive Director, California's for Equal Rights, about the new curriculum. This is important to you because it will be coming to your state in some form or another this is being introduced into your schools and you need to be on the gates of your education and make sure that this does not pass those gates we'll have more in just a second let me take a one minute break and tell you a little bit about

So we're with Dr. Wenyu in Wu, and we're talking about this new curriculum on ethnic studies that is coming to K through 12 in California, and will be coming. your way. We have about eight minutes here to go through the curriculum, and I really want to talk to you
Starting point is 00:57:51 about some of the people behind this curriculum that are really quite disturbing. So give us the highlights of what is going to be taught to our kids in California. Sure. So I would like to start briefly with an example of how the case of critical ethnic studies was brought to my attention. So late last year, the group of scholars, educators, and nonprofit organizations, including my organization, Californians for Equal Rights, put together a task force to connect people concerned about ethnic studies and the incursion of critical race theory in California and to raise public awareness on this important issue. And on December 9th, 2020, our group received an anonymous tip from a Cupertino parent with some disturbing instructional material. on social identities, power, privilege, and these materials were intended for a third grade
Starting point is 00:58:52 math class at Maya Holtz Elementary in an upscale community in Copertino. So that raised my attention, my alarm. I started to dig deeper into this critical ethnic study model curriculum, which will also be used, operated as a national. Studies should be taught in K-212 education. So this is not just an ethnic problem. It's not a Jewish problem, nearly, or Asian problem. It's a fundamental issue against our commonly held leaves. My investigation and my partnership with several other groups fighting against this in California,
Starting point is 00:59:42 we found out that the invasion of critical race theory, into ethnic studies. Multi-year campaign to produce a statewide ethnic studies model curriculum administratively and to mandate ethnic studies as a college and high school graduation requirement legislatively. In other words, the radicalization of ethnic studies and social studies in general in California
Starting point is 01:00:10 toward intersectionality, neo-Marxism, and post-modernism did not happen in a vacuum. A group of far-left activists, activists scholars, progressive lawmakers, and bureaucratic ideologues have conspired to make critical race theory of critical ethnic studies a mainstream pedagogy. And this started in 2016 when then California governor Jerry Brown signed AB 2016 into law. AB 2016 requires ethnic studies to be taught in public high schools, including charter schools. and mandates the state to adopt a model curriculum. The current deadline for adopting the ethnic studies model curriculum is March 31st this year.
Starting point is 01:00:58 So between 2016 and now, three versions have been introduced for public comments and each has met fierce opposition. The first draft got 21,000 public comments with the Jewish American community being the most vocal opponent. The second one received 35,000 comments and led Governor Newsom to veto AB331 last year, which would have mandated ethnic studies based on that divisive model curriculum as a high school graduation requirement. The third and final draft was released last December and contained some window dressing revisions to address criticisms on some glaring neo-Marxist and anti-Semitic. It's very controversial and rooting. It has to be. It's my understanding that when you started looking into the evolution of this thing,
Starting point is 01:01:53 you found a group Union del Barrio. And I just want to quote from their Facebook page, Union Del Barrio is a political group comprised of individuals that are committed to the organizational discipline in order to develop the science strategy and structures needed to overturn our oppression as Mexicans and Latin America. Americans within the current borders of the United States. We struggle for the self-defense and ultimate liberation of La Raza, translation, the race, while we're also seeking to integrate our movement with the continental liberation process that is taking place throughout America.
Starting point is 01:02:33 We are working tirelessly to unify the collective power of Raza workers, women and men, blah, blah, blah, indigenous communities, prisoners in order to unite as a strong and sustainable, social and political, movement for self-determination and socialism. I don't know. That doesn't sound like a good group to have right in this thing. Right, but they have been, the union devoural has been instrumental in sort of radicalizing the contents and the guiding principles of California's ethnic studies model curriculum. According to credible sources from inside whistleblowers and researchers, we have have unearthed evidence of this strange radical group of activists based in Southern California
Starting point is 01:03:20 as the leader for this sweeping ideological reform in education. So as a result, this movement led by Union de Boreal has hijacked it genuine cultural and ethnic studies and turned it into a political battleground of un-American worldviews. And this story started in 2013 with the people's campaign. this group Union del Barrow. Okay. As you described, an independent political organization,
Starting point is 01:03:51 working towards political revolution. Dr. Wenyan Wu, executive director, Californians for Equal Rights. I'd love to have you. I'd love to do a TV show on this. You can find her at Californians for equal rights.org.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Californians for equal rights.org. We're going to get into this from the teacher perspective. in just a few minutes. Stand by. I mean, when a California educator has the guts to come on this program and say there's a problem, maybe there's a problem, and we all need to listen. So an online clothing retailer called Bonobos, I guess, just had to inform its customers of a data breach that exposed the personal information of up to 7 million people. Seven million.

We were just talking to Dr. Wenya and Wu. and about what's happening with ethnic studies in California. And this is something that is coming to your state and your schools. We have to be aware of this. And we have to, quite honestly, stop it. If you believe in equal rights, as articulated by Martin Luther King, I'm in.
Starting point is 01:06:20 But if you think Martin Luther King meant that we have to crush white, people that that was Malcolm X malcolm X was teaching at least at the beginning he was teaching hatred and division that's not American we are all created equal and all given rights and we have to fight for those equal rights but this is a perversion of those now Lori Myers she is a co-founder and for educators for excellence in ethnic studies she's a California educator, I think a first grade teacher. And she wants to talk about the ethnic studies model curriculum that is a waiting passage now in California. Welcome, Lori.
Starting point is 01:07:10 How are you? I'm great. Thanks for having me on the show, Glenn. I really appreciate you're taking the time to talk about this super important issue that we're facing in California right now. And I totally agree with you. It is going nationwide. I am so concerned. This changes the future for generations.
Starting point is 01:07:31 If we don't, if we start teaching this poison, we're done. As a people, I don't even, not even as America, but as a people, we start to look at everything differently. I completely agree with you. And as teachers, we consider ourselves to be pretty much, the front lines of this, but the real people on the front lines of this are our students. And that's why our group was formed. We are a grassroots group of hundreds of educators from across the country who want to make sure that we have ethnic studies curricula that achieve really important goals, confronting racism,
Starting point is 01:08:16 developing civic responsibility, building the 21st century skills that our students need, like critical thinking, communication, creativity, but that don't devolve into critical race theory, which not only won't accomplish those goals, but will do quite the opposite. Exactly. I mean, Lori, I don't know how you feel about any of this, and so you don't have to comment on it, but I have to tell you, in looking at critical race theory, and I've tried to swear off this word, in looking at what it teaches and how it teaches, the only word I can come up, with to describe it is evil. It is intentionally destroying people their communication with each other.
Starting point is 01:08:59 It's dividing everybody. It makes you feel horrible about yourself. I mean, it's so defeating. So what I really appreciate about what you just said is that critical race theory in the classroom, and in particular, our group right now is focused on the ethnic studies model curriculum, but there are a couple of other different front lines on critical race theory in California, but that we're not just concerned about what critical race theory teaches. That's the framework. We're concerned about how it teaches, and that's the pedagogy. And both are concerning, but in some ways, the pedagogy piece of it, how educators bring them into their classrooms is even more concerning. Lori, let's just pretend we don't know what pedagogy means.
Starting point is 01:09:50 I've been told that many times. I'm sorry I'm down in the weeds. That's all right. Pedagogy is how teachers teach. For example, if I'm teaching math, I might be teaching content, which would be addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. But the methodology I'm using to teach it, the pedagogy would be Singapore math or University of Chicago. Okay.
Starting point is 01:10:21 So there is a, I'm trying to find it in one of the things where the pedagogy would be to, and it didn't say inflict trauma, but make students feel vulnerable, sad, helpless, and teachers need to be familiar with trauma-informed practices. That sounds like a bad pedagogy. Am I using that correctly? explain what this is? Right. So that's actually what one of the reasons that we are so deeply concerned about critical race
Starting point is 01:11:00 theory is a pedagogy. Get out in a classroom in a number of different ways, and I'm happy to share examples. But the end result is that we're concerned about how it will cause trauma. And as teachers, parents are trusting us every day when they can't send their children to school to keep their children safe and secure. In fact, I've looked up the code of ethical conduct for a number of school districts, which at student safety and welfare is teacher's highest priority. And every teacher knows that unless we have that foundation in the classroom, learning just isn't going to happen. Yet the ethnic studies model curriculum itself acknowledges that topics like
Starting point is 01:11:45 oppression, which by the way is mentioned in the model curriculum over 200 times, words like oppressed, oppression, oppressed can make students feel, and I quoting, vulnerable, sad, guilty, and helpless. And then the model curriculum itself states that teachers need to be attentive to quote, trauma-informed education practices. And I've said this before, and I'll say it again, a school curriculum should not need a trauma warning. Okay, so, but wait, but isn't that saying trauma-informed practices, doesn't that mean that you kind of want to inflict a little trauma because that helps inform and it helps shape them?
Starting point is 01:12:36 So that's a really interesting point. And as educators, we agree. that there are going to be difficult topics that are taught in school. Correct. As long as they are grade level appropriate. For example, students learning about the killing field, students learning about Rwanda, students learning about the Holocaust. Those are going to be difficult topics, but a well-trained good teacher,
Starting point is 01:13:04 teaching them with a well-developed curriculum, will be able to teach them and maybe cause students to feel some deep emotion. but not trauma. And the other important difference is that with a critical race theory pedagogy, these traumas are caused because students are made to internalize feelings around impression. It's not just the content that they're learning. It's the pedagogy that's having them internalize these feelings and feel personal responsibility either for inflicting oppression on somebody else
Starting point is 01:13:40 or feeling like students in your class are responsible for inflicting impression on you. And that's where the pedagogy piece is important. I'm sorry. No, no, no. And it goes the other way as well. They're in Berkeley in the Unified School District there. There was a lawsuit. Are you aware of this?
Starting point is 01:13:58 And can you tell the story? So I'm not aware of a lawsuit in Berkeley, but I am aware of. And I actually spoke with the former school board member whose student was in this class when this happened. So the school board member told me that in their ethnic studies class, which at that point was a high school graduation requirement, quote, various groups were denounced. Boys, Caucasians, privileged students, high achieving AP students of all races, of all races, were made to feel bad.
Starting point is 01:14:39 And another quote, white kids were made to feel bad. And the problems were so rampant in the district that the district was forced to drop ethnic studies as a graduation. What were the problems that this was causing? The problems were that students were starting to denounce each other and target each other. And that's one of our concerns with critical race theory in the classroom. So first, what critical race theory does is it has students, identify as part of a group based only on race, based only on skin color, and then assigns a judgment to them based on that racial identity.
Starting point is 01:15:17 The second piece is then it asserts that one group is the oppressor over the other. And that sets up an oppositional relationship between the groups. It literally pits students against each other. And that's where I come back to the goals of ethnic studies and how this approach, a critical race theory pedagogy is not going to help bridge the cultural divide. It's not going to build cultural understanding. It's not going to have students develop respect for inclusion. And these are all the goals of the original bill that mandated the development of the ethnic studies model curriculum.
Starting point is 01:15:58 And that's why I keep coming back to we all, I hope we all share these important goals. but critical race theory pedagogy is not the right way to get there. I don't know if we still agree on the same goals. There are people that are taking, I mean, I know that Martin Luther King has been put back in on the third draft, but if your instinct is to talk nice about pole pot and delete Martin Luther King, I don't think you get it. I mean, Martin Luther King articulated what American, he didn't tear down America, He said, America, live up to your own founding words.
Starting point is 01:16:37 He challenged us to be better. And he challenged us to all live in a world where race doesn't matter. I'm not sure that everybody agrees with that anymore. Well, I agree with what you just said. But what you just said is absolutely consistent with the bill that mandated the development of the ethnic studies model curriculum. It says that one of the goals is for students to promote self-and-collective empowerment, to promote critical thinking, to develop a more complex understanding of a human experience from the California Social Studies framework. It's the standards that we all need to track to. Ethnic studies should help students develop respect for cultural diversity and see the advantages of inclusion.
Starting point is 01:17:29 those are all consistent with Martin Luther King. My concern is that the model curriculum in its current incarnation, and in fact, its incarnation since its genesis back in 2016, has been based on a critical race theory foundation that is inconsistent with the original goals approved by the state. If we had a curriculum that tracked to those original goals, that tracked to California standards approved by the State Board of Education, then we wouldn't be having that problem. So I do think that you and I agree on the goals and the state of California agrees on the goals. The curriculum is what isn't agreeing with those goals, and that's why it has to change. Lori, I'd love to have you back.
Starting point is 01:18:14 I'd love to actually do a TV show with you because I don't think there's anything more important than what's happening in our schools. And, you know, teachers have got to stand up and parents have to stand up. and parents have to stand up. I really appreciate it. If you would like to reach out to Lori, you can follow her on Twitter at Teacher Myers. That's M-E-Y-E-R-S. Or her website, Educators for Excellence,
Starting point is 01:18:43 that's the number four. Educators for Excellence. dot Weebley.com. Lori, thank you so very much. Thank you so much, Glenn. Good bad. By the way, a few things you can do. Get the word.
Starting point is 01:19:00 out share this. These things are going to get very bad if you're not standing guard right now. If your kids are being taught on Zoom school, look at the assignments, meet with your school board members, talk about this curriculum for ethnic studies, follow your kids' school board minutes, ask for a public review. If anything is being introduced in ethnic studies, you've got to stand guard and speak up. Okay, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's AMAC. If you're considering joining a senior group, where are you going to get the best value? Well, the most bang for your buck,
Starting point is 01:19:41 if you will, I strongly urge you to look into AMAC because it stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens, and it has over two million members, and it's growing every day. Amac doesn't just provide you with the discounts and services that you need and want from a senior's group, but they're also extremely proactive in defending the things that we all hold dear. They represent courage, faith, and reason in trying times. They stand for solvency, which is going to be over soon. National security and sovereignty over our unchecked borders. They believe in the sanctity of life.
Starting point is 01:20:21 In Washington, D.C., AMAC has been pushing back for years against the radical socialist agenda. they were there in 2008 and 2009. That's really when they stepped to the plate and said, okay, we got to do something different because nobody is fighting for this. Amak, fight with them. Become a member today. The benefits are great.
Starting point is 01:20:42 The cause is even greater. Join now at amac.us slash Beck. AMAC. U.S. slash Beck. Tomorrow night on Glenn TV. And the question is, how are we going to really almost deep program these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Blacklist, purges, investigations, and arrests? Is this the new red scare? Unless we make sure that there's no infiltration, you will see a red world. Glenn exposes the dangers and next steps of this anti-conservative movement. Are you on the list? Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blaishtivy.com slash Glenn. So Tulsi Gabbard, who is going to be a guest on my podcast in coming weeks, is going to be, or was on Stephen Crowder last night,
Starting point is 01:21:34 talking about how do we fix what's happening with high tech? Listen to what she said. It seems like everyone in positions of power right now in the Democrat Party support stifling opinions they don't like on big tech platforms. Yeah. And this is what's dangerous as they're looking at so-called reform, they're not really looking at the right places. You know, when people go and actually look at some,
Starting point is 01:21:59 Section 230, the fix is actually quite simple, where you just change the line where it says essentially Big Tech has the authority to remove objectionable content. How much more vague can you get than that objectionable to who or for what reason? But then the thing that comes after that is the most troubling part. It says whether it is constitutional or not. You can see all of this interview with Tulsi Gabbard with Stephen Crowder. You find him at Blaze TV. This is the Glen. So this is going to come as a surprise.
Starting point is 01:22:40 Coordinated de-platforming of Parlor has come under question as arrest numbers highlight Facebook's role in the Capitol Hill riot. We begin there in 60 seconds. So you just want the best night's sleep you've ever had. You want it consistently, right? I mean, I just want to sleep. What are you waiting for?

Starting point is 01:23:18 The pillow is practically magical. I would not buy it if I were in a store. If I hadn't have laid my head down on it, I wouldn't have bought it. Because I would think this is a stupid pillow, and it's not going to hold up. It's not going to be. And it is amazing. It really is. The pillow is, you put, you know, your fists on, through each side of it one time before you go to bed.

Facebook was the social media network most used to organize the January 6th Capitol Riot. Now, this is, according to an analysis of the Department of Justice charging document. The program on extremism at George Washington University has collected the indictments of 223 people. Now, these were people charged in participating in the Capitol Riot. What's weird about this is Facebook was used by 73 of the people charged with crimes.
Starting point is 01:25:03 That's more than all of the other social media sites. Combined. So how come Parlor was banned? So it was such a strange target to me, right? Like, you know, Parlor has its good points, but it was never a dominant social network. You know, I mean, it was. Well, it was with those crazies. I guess that was the idea, right?
Starting point is 01:25:32 Yeah. The people we already banned off of Twitter keep going there. Yeah. So. No, they actually were at Facebook. more than any other, more than all of the other social networks combined. That should say something. So why was parlor banned and why was parlor banned from using Amazon's online infrastructure?
Starting point is 01:25:54 I mean, look at what happened to them. It was only used by eight of the people charged. Out of 220, only eight were on parlor. Google, Apple, remove parlor. This is collusion. This is, honestly, this is Detroit, the big three auto manufacturers, putting Auburn out of business, putting the Dusenberg company out of business. That's what it is. They know what's good for them, and they got to get rid of any of the competitors.
Starting point is 01:26:34 And so they will collude to destroy their competitors, anybody who's coming up. You know, and I Again, no knock on parlor. I like parlor and the, I know some of the people behind it are real free speech believers. Like this is why they started this. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:26:52 So, but it's like, I think it's bigger than just knocking out their competition. A competition. I don't think Twitter or Facebook's or Apple see parlor as competition. They were at upstart network. They were doing what they could do to get going. Where I think what they see is they want,
Starting point is 01:27:07 they want a threat. to conservative speech in a very public way. You know, throwing off X or Y person off of Twitter sends some level of message, right? Yes, yes. But just banning, you can't even go to a secondary platform and say conservative things. That says a lot more. I mean, it says to conservatives don't even try to get on these platforms. It ran a deep chill through everyone who does what we do.
Starting point is 01:27:35 It's message setting. Because it wasn't just, it wasn't just that they, banned parlor and deleted the apps. It wasn't just that. No. It was you can't use any of the infrastructure of the internet. It's amazing. These people who pushed for net neutrality because God forbid Comcast might slow your Netflix.
Starting point is 01:27:56 All these ears, they complained about that. And when, you know, places like Amazon Web Services are removing an entire app because they say too many conservative things. Again, that's my summary of that situation. situation, not theirs. But that is totally fine with the same people. Oh, gosh, you might not be able to watch your, you know, your Hulu at high enough quality. That's a real, real danger here. So Facebook had 73 of the people that were charged, said they, they were on Facebook and they were organizing through Facebook.
Starting point is 01:28:31 Eight used parlor. But listen to this. This is from Cheryl Sandberg. She said this on January 11th in the Washington Post. She's, by the way, a chief operating officer at Facebook. She said, I think these events were largely organized on platforms that don't have our abilities to stop hate and don't have our standards and don't have our transparency. Cheryl, looks like you were wrong. Looks like you were wrong.
Starting point is 01:29:01 All of your highfalutin hate speech filters didn't apparently catch it. huh what's up with that let me give you let me show you where we are headed you think you have the first amendment this story would be in the old days you know back in December uh you would have looked at a story like this and went well that's why i live in america and if you didn't understand that america was completely different than every other country in the world, you'd say, well, where is there freedom of speech? This story comes from Great Britain, Scotland. A man has been arrested and charged in Scotland, quote, in connection with an offensive
Starting point is 01:29:58 social media tweet about Captain Sir Tom Moore. Now, do you know who he was? Sir Tom Moore, he's that old guy. He was like 100 years old. He was a World War II veteran. He was one of the, I think he was the first to get the COVID vaccine. Well, he died in the hospital, treated with pneumonia, and then, you know, so you got COVID-19. So apparently the, apparently the whole COVID vaccination didn't really help him out very much.
Starting point is 01:30:31 But he was, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. I mean, he was a big, big, celebrity over there and seemed like a really sweet guy. So a 34-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with communication offenses and is due to appear at Lanark Sheriff Court Wednesday, 17th of February. According to the Daily Mail, the 35-year-old Joseph Kelly, is due to appear at the court and accused of these communication offenses triggering outrage from free speech campaigners. The communication offense in question relates to a tweet that Kelly wrote shortly after Captain Sir Tom Moore's death, which read, trigger alert.
Starting point is 01:31:26 I just, please, you've never heard things like this or seen anything like this on social media. So please, you are remove all children. and when I say children, I mean, of course, up to 26. So if they're up to 26 years, if you are 26 years, you know what, let's make it easy. If you're under 50, please just go back into the crib and pull the covers over your, because you're not going to be able to handle this. He tweeted, the only good Brit soldier is a deed one, D-E-E-D. I think that's because that's the way they say it's got deed. burn old fella burn
Starting point is 01:32:08 Now normally what I would do is go You're an idiot and I'd move on with my life But that's because we live in this wilderness Called America According to the police in Scotland The tweet was reported three days After it's set there on the internet Three days it's set there
Starting point is 01:32:33 Oh my gosh And it comes as the SNP continues efforts to introduce a new hate crime bill that will criminalize stirring up hatred. Now, that doesn't sound vague at all. But Section 127 of the United Kingdoms Communication Act signed into law under Tony Blair's government states a person is guilty of an offense if he sends by means of public electronic communication network a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or an indecent, obscene, or menacing character.
Starting point is 01:33:09 And he will be liable, according to Section 127, on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or a fine, not exceeding level five on the standard scale. Level five. If you don't think that's coming your way, they're already doing it. And you know how they're going to weigh around the free speech thing? Well, first, they're indoctrinating anybody. under 30 to think that free speech isn't really free you can't you don't have the right to say something crazy about the government you don't have a right to hurt people's feelings what kind
Starting point is 01:33:52 of speech needs to be protected I mean you can't just say that religious stuff anywhere what really so you want what do you want to you want the cat in a hat to be protected what what I mean nobody's really saying well I mean they will be soon how dare you put that cat in a hat. Cats don't wear hats. Why would you put a hat on a cat? You know, cats are people too. Mm-hmm. So I'm using this as an example. What time is it? I'm using this as an example for today only because this may seem like, listen to that fuddy-duddy next week when cat in the hat is suddenly really offensive. What kind of speech needs protecting other than the speech that really pisses you off.
Starting point is 01:34:44 How do you, how are you misunderstanding this? We should point out here so that our speech is not silenced immediately by all social networks and all across America that Sir Tom Moore did not get the coronavirus vaccine. He was, he was a different guy? He wanted to get it. Oh, he was the guy who raised the money.
Starting point is 01:35:04 He raised the money. He raised $45 million for health workers. He was very famous from Britain. He would have had the vaccine. however he was on pneumonia medicine already and made him ineligible for it. Okay, good, good, good. Just so we. Good.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Because I like the other guy, but I like this guy too. I mean, I think both of them were great, but I should be banned. You should be banned. I should be banned. I should be banned. We interrupt this never-ending dumpster fire for something less flammable. So let's go to America where we don't have any dumb as here. and I'd like to talk to you a little before I start this story about Darwin and his theory of the survival of the fittest.
Starting point is 01:35:50 Now, lefties who buy into Darwin say that this is the way a worm became a man. Because the dumb worms that didn't have any hands, those worms died out. even though we still have those worms. But they died out and suddenly, boom, he's doing the Glenn Beck program. Isn't that weird? Now, how did that happen? Well, the ones that couldn't defend themselves, the ones that were too stupid or just defective in some way.
Starting point is 01:36:30 What a great progressive word. Defective. They were eliminated. Thus, we had the idea of eugenics. let's speed the process up by getting rid of all of our defectives. So it was great, and I've never been for it. Now listen to this story. A Louisiana woman who went viral after struggling to remove gorilla glue from her hair
Starting point is 01:37:01 claims that the hospital, nor the company's advice, help remove the harden adhesive. She's now considering a lawsuit. Tessica Brown hired an attorney is weighing litigation against gorilla glue because while the products label warns against using gorilla glue in your eyes, your skin, or your clothing, it doesn't mention hair. That's a really good point. That's a really good.
Starting point is 01:37:38 I mean, if I was reading that, I was like, don't put it on your skin. skin. Don't put it in your eyes. And don't even get it on your clothing. I would think, they didn't mention hair. During Brown's weekend trip to the ER, health care workers put acetone on the back of her head. But instead of getting to the root of the problem, it burned her scalp and only made the glue goo the glue gooy before hardening back up because it's gorilla glue. Gorilla glue is today aware of the dilemma and tweeted a statement reading. And that shows compassion, doesn't it? I mean, that shows you're really taking this seriously.
Starting point is 01:38:23 When you tweet, we are very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Ms. Brown experienced using our spray adhesive on her hair. We're glad to see in her recent video that Ms. Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility, and we wish her the best. The company goes on to reiterate that its product is not indicated for use in or on hair as it is considered permanent. Ha. I don't know about you, but I think we could lose a monkey tail or two.
Starting point is 01:39:02 I think we could, I think we could lose, you know, I don't know, the beak that isn't shaped right. Because some people, I mean, sorry,
Starting point is 01:39:11 Some birds can't gather food. And so maybe the beak needs to be shaped differently and Darwin would come in. There are some people that, you know, don't use lawnmower on roof to remove snow. I say let them get chopped up as they're falling down. Let them as they're rolling off the roof and the lawnmower is still running. but it's now in front of them and flipped upside down, I think that's good. So the lawnmower lands,
Starting point is 01:39:48 you land in the bottom part of the lawnmower with the moving blades. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. If you're that stupid, your hair should stick together forever. And we should know who we're dealing with. When she comes in as like, hey, we should be able to go, oh yeah, you're the...
Starting point is 01:40:07 We now return to the American dumpster fire. Already in progress. Let me tell you about timeshare termination team. You want to get the process started to get out of that time share. You'll get 20% off when you terminate your time share. So make sure you tell them I sent you 20% off. And they're going to get you legally out of this thing forever. How much money has this thing actually cost you?
Starting point is 01:40:35 Well, it's just a, you know what? You're going to save money with the timeshare because the timeshare is so great. You're paying a little bit months to month. Yeah. Until you have signed the document and you realize that you have credit card interest rates for your new timeshare. You're out of the bank. You can talk to the bank. They'll give you a lower rate on that loan.
Starting point is 01:41:01 No, they won't. No, they won't. Anyway, if you're in that situation, get out. Get out. Timesharetermination team.com. Have peace of mind with timeshares termination. Team's 100% money back exit guarantee.

Starting point is 01:41:41 A photographer has alleged sit down America. Sit down. Don't put the glue in your hair and sit down for a second. A photographer has alleged that Marilyn Manson forced female
Starting point is 01:41:55 fans to strip. What? Yes. Manson, his real name, apparently not Marilyn, also plied fans with alcohol before ordering them to take off their tops.
Starting point is 01:42:11 Speaking to the mirror, Von Stein said that she was picked from a crowd of fans by Manson's minders and escorted to his tour bus. What an honor. Then, allegedly, uh, she,
Starting point is 01:42:26 hid at the back of the group as a musician pointed to the group of other women instructed instructed them to strip she said he wanted to see who had the biggest uh and the best everyone was a bit surprised because he made it feel normalized like it was fun now when i met a what he made that sound like it was fun yeah when when my daughter would go to a maryland manson uh you know concert which didn't happen. But if she would go, she would have been the first on the bus. She would have been like,
Starting point is 01:43:00 nothing could happen after with a rocker? It's good advice for young parents. They don't understand this. If you're at a concert and the band members want you to go in their bus, you just let them go. Let your kids go right away. Right away.
Starting point is 01:43:13 It's only good things can happen. Apparently, he was surrounded by older people and he was dominating. And nobody felt that they could say, know to him because the older people were there. Seems like such a good guy and then he would do something like this. He looks like one of those
Starting point is 01:43:30 crazy dogs with the blue eye and the brown eye. What could go wrong? On a tour bus? Can't kind of know anything anymore. Monkey tails. Okay. Let me tell you about Goldline. They are offering 6% promotional medals delivered directly to you

Starting point is 01:45:06 Bitcoin is up to what, 46, 46500. I think $46,597. That's it. That's insane. I mean, it was 3,800 in March. So you could have got... 3,800? Bridge.
Starting point is 01:45:23 You could have jumped in at 3,800 in March of last year. Now, a lot of things fell right in March. So if you bought right at the bottom, the coronavirus, but even, I mean, if you bought it before that, you could, less than 10,000 very easily. It's been incredible. I mean, it really has been incredible. The herd is coming. The herd is coming.
Starting point is 01:45:40 Because of Elon Musk yesterday, he invested $1.5 billion, Tesla did, into Bitcoin. You know, they're coming after him now. They're like, oh, you know, he's been hyping this up. What? What? Yeah, he says, I like Bitcoin. So do I. I mean, you don't have a right to say that. That's, that's somehow or another manipulating the market. Well, because they were saying he bought it in December. So, and he was tweeting about it after December as well. So that means. You're supposed to stop believing in it. And it was just as, you know, again, his company bought it. He was saying good things about it. Yeah. I don't know that you, I think pretty much if you look at any company, the things that. The things. they invest in, they're going to say good things about? That's kind of a normal thing that companies do. Well, I tell you one thing I don't like. We just bought $1.5 billion.
Starting point is 01:46:31 Uh, Bitcoin. That's over. What? Are you insane? I mean, what's incredible is if you remember, if you were listening to this show, if you were listening to this show and you listened early, you're very wealthy right now. But if you happen to... Not us, because we didn't take our own advice.
Starting point is 01:46:48 Yeah. Well, you know, I did a little bit. I mean, certainly... We didn't. I believed in it. And I think I was told, what was it? $30 or $0.30? Oh, yours was really ridiculous because you met with one of the leaders.
Starting point is 01:47:01 Mark Andreessen, who's like the guy who is coin. He basically wrote Coinbase, right? He's a bunch of different companies was a huge believer in Bitcoin super, super early. And if Glenn had listened to his advice and some on the left might be happy with this, you would not be hearing him talk right now because he'd be on an island somewhere. But 30, I think it was 30 cents when he told me. 30 cents. And I was like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:47:23 there's nothing to this. Computer money. What are you talking about? Computer money. How do you put the computer in your wallet? That's ridiculous. But even later, I mean, we were talking about it, you know, three, two, three, four, five, six hundred.
Starting point is 01:47:39 Yeah. And all the way up to, if you're in the beginning of 2017, it was at 1,000. And even that seemed like it was high at the time. Then it had that big run up, the quote unquote bubble, right? Yep. and it went up to 19,000, like 900 or whatever it was, almost at 20,000. And now when you look at the all-time graph of Bitcoin, it just looks like a little blip.
Starting point is 01:48:01 That 2017 looks like a little blip. It's not even halfway up to the price. And now this huge run-up. And it's funny because one of the arguments at that time, after it collapsed, there's lots of haters who came in and said, this was nothing. It never was anything. People don't. We're not going to print and spend money.
Starting point is 01:48:17 It's not to, what, is inflation going to be a big problem in the future? No, of course. Bitcoin makes no sense. And what people who were pro Bitcoin argued was that this is going to look more like the internet, where you had that first quote unquote internet bubble in 2000. Everyone's like, oh gosh, what a joke. Pets.com. And now it's just running our entire economy.
Starting point is 01:48:41 Right. And so you had that early one, that little bump came down. I mean, there's been several bubbles over the years with Bitcoin. But it's raged back to huge, huge improvements year, you know, year after. year I think because what's happened was all the little people got destroyed and then the big money sat there and they were like, okay, are we ready? Can we invest? Can we do this? And so all of the hedge funds, all of the big businesses, you know, Goldman Sachs, et cetera, et cetera, they put in systems that could invest in Bitcoin, watched it. And now the herd is coming. I mean, I've, I've, I've, I've,
Starting point is 01:49:22 I've heard that Apple is talking about investing $5 billion. It would be stupid. It would be huge, but it would be stupid to release that information before you buy it. Right. So I don't know if you trust that. You know, Elon Musk is still quirky enough that people will look at that and say, oh, well, it's Elon Musk and he does all sorts of wild things. Once a big company gets into it.
Starting point is 01:49:46 If Apple does it? Yeah. That is a total game. I think this is the difference between my generation, understands gold. The young generation, this is digital gold. That's the way they view it. Is digital gold.
Starting point is 01:50:00 And I view gold as gold. And I like both Bitcoin and gold. But I think they're both being driven by the same thing. The money thing is going to be over soon. It's going to be over. And if you don't, when you look at the price of Bitcoin, don't think you have to buy a Bitcoin. You don't.
Starting point is 01:50:17 You can put $100 into it and still make money. if you don't have, I've been saying this for five years. Can you imagine when I first started saying this? If you would have put money into it, if you don't have $100 in Bitcoin, I used to say when it was a dollar, if you don't have $100 in Bitcoin, you're a fool. Because this is life-changing money. If you don't have, you know, $500 in Bitcoin now, you're still a fool because it's not done doubling. It's not. Again, we're not, we don't know where the price of Bitcoin is going.
Starting point is 01:50:55 But I still think, long term, it's hard not to be optimistic about it. I still think that the central banks, you could come in at any time and crush it. It should always be money you're willing to lose. Right. But it is some, but I mean, it's some level of gambling. But I mean, even as late as October, Glenn, it was still at 10,000. Shut up. In October.
Starting point is 01:51:13 Shut up. It's up five times since then. I know. I don't know if it's going to hold on to this stuff. I mean, the Elon Musk stuff in some ways makes me nervous. because people get so hyped up about whatever he says. Well, he's going to say something else next week. And I assume all the people who are who jumped in for Elon Musk are going to go run to Doge
Starting point is 01:51:31 coin or whatever he's talking about next time. That's a, yeah, that Dogecoin is a, is a meme. It's a, it was built as a joke. Right. Initially. But it's been around for a long time now. And it's hit all time highs because he's been talking about it, which is like eight cents. It is like eight cents.
Starting point is 01:51:45 Yeah. But still, I mean, you know, you could. If you don't have eight cents in Doge coins right now. That's like, how long have you even? saying that. If you don't have eight cents in those coin, you're nuts. Think of that. You could have bought it a penny. You eight times your money right now.
Starting point is 01:52:00 You have eight cents! Right. I mean, if you have a mathematician and get you too deep into the calculus, you get eight cents. Think of what you... Think of that. Would you be, would you show up at work? Oh, no. I'd be gone. No offense, Glenn, but we'd never speak again. No, I'm with you. I'm with you. You know, I personally, if I had five cents, I'd never speak to you again.
Starting point is 01:52:27 But, you know, we all have our own standards. And if you don't have five cents a doge coin right now, you are an idiot. All right. American financing, ever since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the mortgage and real estate industries have been among the few economic bright spots. home equity is up the mortgage rates are are way down now I have been reading
Starting point is 01:52:57 lately that they are starting to come up what was the company one one financial house was saying that they're going to start raising interest rates I don't know what you're doing there Sarah but she's just playing the keyboard I got it in London however
Starting point is 01:53:15 they're saying in the next 60 days mortgage rates will go to below zero. So they will start paying you to take the money. Another reason I want to have Bitcoin or gold. Anyway, right now, if you have a mortgage that is more than 3 or 4%, you need to refinance it. Need to refinance. Navigating home loans can be tricky.
Starting point is 01:53:40 The banks, God only knows what they're. Listen to the first hour of this show today. If you want to know what the banks are up to, oh my gosh. this article from the IMF about how we're going to start determining who's qualified for a loan is terrifying. Get your loan right now. American financing 800 9062440, 8009062440 Americanfinancing.net. American financing NMLS 1-82334. Now play that magic key.
Starting point is 01:54:10 Now play that. Play it, Sarah. Play it. Hey, a couple of really good news items that I want to pass on. pass on to you the Biden administration is seeking to include the minimum wage hike
Starting point is 01:54:27 in its coronavirus relief package you'll start making if you're making minimum wage $15 an hour now when pressed on this the spokesperson for the president
Starting point is 01:54:42 said he's still pushing on he has he's still willing to to push this through even though the CBO estimated that it would cost 1.4 million jobs. But hey, he believes in things like the end of the pipeline. You know, why talk to workers? Why?
Starting point is 01:54:59 I mean, you know, why? You don't need to. It's the right thing to do. They can either learn to code or they can be a green job or something. Welcome to the 2000s. Learn to code. And these 1.4 million jobs. I mean, we're going to have a lot of people learning how to code.
Starting point is 01:55:18 You know, what I'm saying here? he's firmly committed to raising the minimum wage to $15. Oh, by the way, I also forgot to tell you that in addition to the jobs lost, the wage hike, according to the CBO, would cause a corresponding rise in the price of general goods and services. So because minimum wage is now $15, people will have more money to buy things, and so they can buy things at a higher price. and so the costs will go up as your wage goes up, which is weird because that never happens.
Starting point is 01:55:56 Inflation with more money out there? Never happens. Never. Never. No. Never. Also some really good news. Now, that is the problem, but here's the cure.
Starting point is 01:56:10 Washington State is now proposing a 1% levy on wealth of more than a billion dollars. Well, I mean, really. I mean, Roseanne Barr said it really should be $100 million and then execution after that. And she was serious. But Washington State is a little more reasonable. You can have a billion dollars, but then you get a wealth tax of 1%. So this is really going to help the economy. I mean, think about how much money.
Starting point is 01:56:41 Jeff Bezos, he's, you know, he's from Seattle. And he's got, what, two. 200 billion dollars, something like that, yeah. He's going to owe $2 billion every year. And he won't even miss it. Oh, I have bad news for you. He no longer lives there. Oh, he no longer lives there.
Starting point is 01:56:57 I mean, he does now. But the second you pass this bill, he will no longer live there. Oh. And so you will get zero dollars from Jeff Bezos. In fact, well, you still have Bill Gates. Okay, yeah, that's true. What's his situation? He's going to pay about a billion dollars.
Starting point is 01:57:12 Oh, I have terrible news. Really? He doesn't live there anymore. Really? Wow. that's just unfortunate. How could you project this stuff? You wouldn't know.
Starting point is 01:57:20 It's not like, how would you know these guys have resources to buy new homes and other places? Well, wait a minute. Just a second. I mean, according to, you know, the people are proposing this, 97% of the revenue from this tax
Starting point is 01:57:32 is going to fall on four people. Oh, I have terrible news. That's four people no longer live there. Really? Yeah. That's a weird coincidence. Give me another really rich person that lives in the state.
Starting point is 01:57:42 They no longer live there. How about, they never. they're gone, never will visit. Really? Yeah. Terrible. It's, I know. I know. It's so sad. That is weird. And it's just totally unforeseen.
Starting point is 01:57:56 How could you possibly know that these billionaires would move out of the state when you pass attacks like this? I know, I know, you know, because $2 billion, that's jump change. Yeah, who even needs it? Who even needs $2 billion? Not me. And if I had, if I had 200, you know. and the government has already made a bunch of money on me because I've been paying taxes to make that money.
Starting point is 01:58:23 And then they say, oh, you have too much now, so I'm going to take, you know, $2 billion from you. I would think to myself, what could $2 billion do? I mean, I used to be able to buy gum. Remember when you could go into a store and buy some bubble gum and you'd get the little cartoon inside the gum and everything, you get the little comic strip? Used to be less than $2 billion for that.
Starting point is 01:58:40 It used to be less than $2 billion. Now, what can I do with $2 billion? It's like, you know, it's like a dollar. You have $200, you lose a dollar, you lose $2, okay, big deal. That's the way Bezos thinks about $2 billion. Sure, he does. And he gets to do that every year. And what will happen is Bezos and Gates and all these other guys will move out of the state
Starting point is 01:59:04 because they'll say, you know what, we just needed warmer weather. We agree with the wealth tax. We think it's the right thing to do. We do. But we no longer, you know what, it's so rainy. Rainy there. Oh my gosh. But if you're there and it's raining,
Starting point is 01:59:20 take comfort in the fact that just living there for two years will cost you $4 billion. I mean, who doesn't say yes to that? I don't know. It's a deal. I don't know how you could turn it down. I don't know. And then, you know, what happens, of course, when you have the Elizabeth Warrens of the world, we want to do this.
Starting point is 01:59:37 Because they'll make this point, the same point that I'm making, which is as soon as you implement this tax, people will leave the state. That's why you need to do it federally. I need to do it federally. That's right. And when I say, hey, they're just going to move out of the country. That's why we need to punish them for leaving in the country and take their money before they leave. Well, they've already done that.
Starting point is 01:59:54 They've already passed that law. You ain't getting out with it. You're not leaving this country. Remember when I said that, what, 15 years ago, I found that little article in the Wall Street Journal. And it was about, I don't remember, Charlie Rangel or somebody that was passing. And I looked at you and I said, what do they know that we don't know? They're now penalizing you. for the very first time if you want to move away from America and take your money with you.
Starting point is 02:00:20 That's why, and I can't recommend this highly enough, if you happen to have $2 billion, put it all in Dogecoin now and then... If you don't have $8 billion in Dogecoin, you're an idiot. You're an idiot. Moron? Yeah. How do you not have $8 billion in Doge coin yet? You imagine if you would have invested $8 billion in Dogecoin when it was only a penny?
Starting point is 02:00:41 Now you have $64 billion in Dogecoin. think of that. Which I think if you started selling your 64 billion in Dogecoin, the Dogecoin price might drop a little. You'd have a hard time selling it. Yeah. Perhaps. Maybe. But that's why you have Dogecoin, Glenn, you just hang on to it forever until it turns into the world's only currency.
Starting point is 02:01:01 That's just what, six months away? In six months, everyone will only have Dogecoin. And then you'll come back to the show and you'll say, wow, I wish I've listened to Stu when he was saying Dogecoin at 8 cents. You know what I think? the U.S. dollar is going to be a lot like Doge coin. Each one's worth eight cents. Yeah, if you don't have a dollar in eight cents right now,
Starting point is 02:01:25 you're an idiot. You're an idiot. By the way, the co-founder and CEO of Tanium has said, the state of Washington might lose its competitiveness if it raises taxes on the wealthy. No. What a hater. What an idiot.
Starting point is 02:01:42 What a moron. Hello?
