Starting point is 00:01:15 The show begins in a minute. Hello, America, live from Syria. Or maybe it's just California. Well, we're in Texas, but it feels like Syria. Can't use water today, at least in my hometown, because it could be poop water. Congratulations on that. You've got to boil all of your water now. Electricity grids in Texas are down like crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:21 We're having a gas shortage, a natural gas shortage. In Texas, we are down at about one degree in Texas. This is a 40-year storm, and it is like living. on another planet. It's really like, I mean, we're making California look good today. We're going to talk a little bit about that because it doesn't affect the entire country, but boy, oh boy, is it a wake-up call yet again? How many more do we need? Puerto Rico is about to become a state. Yay! Biden has pulled 65 Trump administrative laws out. which is going to dramatically affect employment.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Gun control is being pushed. And Bitcoin is up to $50 a coin. Gee, I wonder why. All of this and more. We begin in 60 seconds. So Megan lives in California, and in her mid-30s, she was in a horrible car accident, left her with shooting pains down her neck and her back.
Starting point is 00:03:33 It got so bad that she was going to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist six times a week. That's when she heard about relief factor decided to give it a try. Well, within two days, her pain began to subside, and within a couple of weeks, she was back to normal. No more trips to the chiropractor, no more trips to the acupuncturist. Megan considers her discovery of relief factor, nothing short of a miracle. Living with pain like that is no way to go through your life.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Life begins to lose its meaning. I know I've been there. Relief factor, it's not a drug. It was developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works. So try the three-week quick start and see if it works for you. The trial pack is only 1995. It's Relieffactor.com. That's Relieffactor.com.
Starting point is 00:04:22 800, 583, 84. Holy cow. We welcome Pat Gray into the studio, one of the brave that attempted to weather the roads, which are not so bad. The highways aren't so bad. The problem with Texas is we don't have any snow plows. We don't have any... We have four.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Well, it's a good thing. The size of, I don't know, Delaware. Yeah, from Texarkana, Texas down to Brownsville, Texas is the same distance from Texarkana, Texas to Chicago. So it's an enormous state, and we've got four snowplows, which not really a help. When you have snow all over the state, of course, we know global warming. Or is it global cool? It's global climate change.
Starting point is 00:05:18 It's global something. Now, disregard the fact that this happened 40 years ago, you know, when it was global cooling. But it hasn't been this bad. And Texas is just not prepared for it. We're expecting other four to six inches of snow tomorrow. And we don't have this weather ever. The last time we had weather like this was 10 years ago, and we just got sleet, and everything was iced over. I mean, nothing moved in portions of Texas.
Starting point is 00:05:53 This is almost the entire state of Texas. The electricity, we have all these windmills. They are all frozen, frozen solid, so we're not producing any wind energy. Nuclear power plants offline. We have our gas and coal plants that make energy. They're also offline because of they're frozen. They're frozen solid. We don't insulate things like they do up north because we don't ever have this weather.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I think maybe Texas should reevaluate that just a little bit. Like I said, in my town, same as yours, right? Yeah. The sewage treatment plant. went down and I guess some pipes burst, etc., etc. So now our drinking water may be mixed with poop water, which I love.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Who doesn't? Yeah, I like my water chunky. It is nothing better. Fortunately, I gave up on tap water a long time ago. Although you cook with it, you know, so you brush your teeth with it. Yeah. Take a shower with it.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Yeah. I mean, you know. It's nasty. It is nasty. So let's talk about the new. outside of Texas, which quite honestly makes me want to talk about the news inside of Texas a little bit more. Puerto Rican statehood looks like it is on its way to happening. Puerto Rico has held six non-binding referendums on its status, including becoming a U.S. state since 1967.
Starting point is 00:07:31 However, the residents there have most recently voted in favor of statehood. that was last September, sorry, last November. This has, I guess, a lot to do with Hurricane Maria, which caused over 3,000 deaths and the worst natural disaster to hit the island to date that we know of. Also, they have $72 billion in debt. They can't file for bankruptcy, so why not just push it into the federal government? I don't mind paying for Puerto Rico, do you? No. Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Yeah. I mean, I actually have less of a problem paying for Puerto Rico than I do for California. I mean, I have a real problem paying for California. If California and New York and Illinois start pushing all of their state debt into the Fed, I am really pissed off. I'm really pissed off. I didn't live there. When I did live in New York, I voted against it because I knew it was insanity.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Anyway, it looks like the. current governor who is part of the new progressive party that's not even the democratic party this is the new progressive party uh is very very excited about this uh and it it looks like the republic i mean the democrats are going to push it through so we've got that going for us but don't worry congress could stop it And don't forget, Washington, D.C. could also become a state. Well, yeah. Isn't that great? So you got that going for you.
Starting point is 00:09:13 You got two super democratic states about to be added. Here's a state that they're going to make sure doesn't become a state. And that is Jefferson, is Jefferson, the state of Jefferson or Jefferson? I never heard of it. And I grew up in the West Coast. But there is a movement now in Northern California. that is saying they want to break free. They don't feel that they are being represented at all
Starting point is 00:09:41 by the California legislature, and they are conservatives, and they want to become their own state. Do you remember, Pat, were we still together in the 90s? When I read some things from, I think it was Dugan, Alexander Dugan, that said the United States was going to break up
Starting point is 00:10:03 into five districts. Mm-hmm. and when he was asked, how do you know that? He said, by 20, what was it? 2020 or 2015,
Starting point is 00:10:15 something like that, the United States would be in a civil war and we would eventually break up into five different districts. And when asked why he knew that, he said, because we have people on the ground, meaning they have people pushing for that. And I could see that happening. quickly.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Yeah. Unfortunately. We also have something really, really great happening in the military now. The latest on the Pentagon, the Pentagon is not focusing on the Islamic State or the threat from China or the threat from any place else. They are now doing everything they can to look at the threat from within. President Joe Biden is continuing to not focus on China. In fact, strengthen China while promoting social justice inside the Pentagon.
Starting point is 00:11:21 His first military-related executive order was to overturn Trump's transgender policy, which I think we were all fighting for. Were we not? We were like, this fairness has got to be upheld here. And somebody needs to free all the transgenders from the oppression in the military. Lloyd Austin, his defense secretary, the first African American to serve in that position. Austin vowed during his confirmation hearing to rid the military of racists and extremists. Now, I wasn't aware that there were racist and extremists in the military.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I mean, I knew that they were jihadists. Sure, knew that. but we weren't supposed to talk about it. So he wants to get rid of racists and extremists. Here's the problem. Pat, when you go looking for something and you know that it's there, do you generally find it? Generally, yes.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yes. You generally, you know, it's like, have you ever worked at a place where a consultant comes in? And the management hires a consultant and says, look, here's what the problem is. The problem is we've got X, Y, and Z. And all the employees are like, that's not the problem. The problem is the management. What are the consultants usually find? A, B, and C, or X, Y, and Z?
Starting point is 00:12:45 They always find X, Y, and Z. That's what's happening in the Pentagon now. And I want any white extremists out. I want anybody. But what's happening now is, uh, uh, the Department of Fence. was notified by the FDA 143 times of investigations of former and current military members in 2020. 68 of the times pertain to domestic extremist cases.
Starting point is 00:13:21 With the vast majority former military, many unfavorable discharge records, and only one fourth or 17 had anything to do with white nationalism. So out of 68 times there were extremists. 17 of them had to do with white nationalism. What's really interesting in this story is it doesn't tell me what the others were. The military still has not given even the House Armed Services Committee, the Oversight Committee in Congress, a definition of extremists. We don't know what they're even looking for. They won't define the word.
Starting point is 00:14:14 The problem here is that they are going to find what they want and we're now going to politicize our military. On another front, the now President Joe Biden has pulled 65 pending Trump administration executive. orders. Several of the withdraws strike down orders that would protect American jobs by tightening immigration restrictions, eliminating proposed oversight regulations on how China-backed Confucius Institute operate on campus. This is obscene what is going on. Right now, under current law, outgoing aliens release from custody can seek legal employment.
Starting point is 00:15:05 This has now been withdrawn. We were saying, no, you can't do that. The Trump orders were protecting American workers. Between what he's doing with China and what he's doing with immigration, we have some serious problems coming our way. But the good news is the Biden administration over the weekend said, quote, this administration will not wait for the next mass shooting. He is calling for universal background checks. We have that.
Starting point is 00:15:43 We have that. An assault weapons ban. We did that. It did nothing. We did it in the 90s. It did nothing. and legal liability for gunmakers. Now, what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:16:01 That means if you use the weapon and you kill someone, someone can sue the gun manufacturer. That's like using a car and suing General Motors because you went on a walkway and drove over a lot of people. now if the car has automatic pilot and you couldn't turn it off and it caused you to then you could sue GM but if you chose to drive on a sidewalk and kill a lot of people you can't sue GM under Biden you'll be able to sue the gunmakers they are going to make it they are going to make it impossible for Americans to be able to defend themselves.
Starting point is 00:17:01 By the way, Swalwell has said in the wake of the Capitol Riot, we need a 9-11 commission, a white nationalism task force. Holy mother of everything that is good and sacred. We need a white nationalism task force. so now they're pushing for a 9-11 commission. And the guy who is doing it is Swalwell. There's no moving on. January 6 is the day that we'll all sadly remember. I think we have to take an approach that we took after September 11th
Starting point is 00:17:37 to root out white nationalism. What about the ballpark? Why didn't we have a 9-11 commission after they tried to shoot all of the Republican, congressman why why didn't we do that by the way swallwell uh is he said that he is sure that god herself god herself was proud of all of this so he knows that god is a female which i think we can't say that he's a hypocrite on that because uh he was with christine fang and while he was doing the fang bang we heard him scream
Starting point is 00:18:23 Oh God, oh God, oh God, many times. So maybe God's not only a female, but also Chinese and a spy. American financing NMLS-182334. www.nmlS consumer access.org. All right. The housing market. 17 million homeowners are still missing out on a lower mortgage rate right now. Are you one of the 17 million?
Starting point is 00:18:49 That's hundreds of savings. hundreds of dollars every single month. You're throwing that money, not down the drain. You're throwing it into the pockets of the bankers. Make sure you refinance your loan without resetting your mortgage. You don't have to reset the term of your mortgage. And if you roll in high interest credit cards, you could be saving $1,000 or month or more.
Starting point is 00:19:16 So if you're paying three or four percent for your mortgage right now, please call American financing. at 800906 2440. 800906 2440 American financing.net. 10 seconds, station ID. By the way, if you use Instagram, that's a Facebook product, they have announced policing of private direct messages. So now if you're direct messaging somebody in private,
Starting point is 00:19:59 the hate speech crackdown police will be reviewed. all of your private messages. And this is going to come. If you have Google Mail, this is all going to come to you. They're already reading your mail, the algorithms already reading your mail, and you're already being sorted right now. But I think that's good that Instagram can look at everything that we're doing. I think that's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:20:31 How about you, Pat? Oh, I love it. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. Because if anybody knows, you know, what's hateful, I think that's Instagram. Don't you? Don't you?
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yeah, I do. I do. I think the Pinterest people are probably a little head ahead of Instagram. Really? Yeah. Because they're just, they're remarks. Snapchat, maybe too. Yeah, they're great.
Starting point is 00:20:54 They know better than all of us, really. By the way, Netanyahu has claimed that we have great ties. Israel has great ties with Democrats. But Biden still hasn't called No. Prime Minister Netanyahu. You'd think that as a pretty important ally, you know, but maybe the phones are out, you know, in Israel.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Or Jen Saki couldn't even really respond to whether or not Israel was an important ally. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:26 She had a hard time figuring that one out when she was asked. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Then we have Bitcoin at a near record high of $50,000 a coin. Wait, that's near record? That's not the record? That is.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Yeah. Nearly $50,000. $50,000 a coin. That's nuts. How I wish I would have bought a bunch of them at 36 cents. $300. $500,000. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:58 10,000, 20,000. Well, I remember, we discussed it really seriously at $1,000. And you didn't do it. And I didn't do it. And I was going to do it. And I was going to buy like 10 of them. Yeah. And I didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But you didn't do it. You didn't do it. Yeah. I didn't do it. I did. I did. I know you did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I did. I know you did. Yeah. So that took me a lot. I almost sold them all when they collapsed. I almost sold them all. Yeah. Glad I didn't.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I didn't. I didn't. Wow. So glad. When will you sell? Or will you? Uh, I don't know if I will. Keep it going?
Starting point is 00:22:31 Yeah. I think it goes. to at least a hundred. Do you really? Yeah. I think it could, you know, Citibank is saying that it could go up to 150 in the next 12 months. 150.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Yeah. It's still, I mean, if you don't have money in Bitcoin, even, you know, $500. Yeah. You might want, you don't have to buy a full coin. You might want to consider it. This is the Glennback program. All right. Let me tell you about Rough Greens.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Ever since he tried Rough Greens for the first time, my dog, Uno is a completely different dog. All the time, I'm getting emails from people who are saying they had exactly the same experience. They heard me talking about rough greens. I fed it to my dog. Pat's fed it to his dog.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And it is, they wolf it down. She won't, she won't eat her, her food without it. Really? Yeah. She just turns up her nose if it's not, if it's not sprinkled on top. Have you seen difference, a difference in your dog besides that?
Starting point is 00:23:31 She acts like a puppy again. Where she was getting a little lethargic. Yeah. But now she's very puppy-like. Goes and gets her toys and brings him to you to throw. O-No is crazy. He is just a totally different dog. And he's like a, he's bringing his big con ball all the time with him and wants to play all the time.

Starting point is 00:24:40 A French court has declared that France is guilty of failing of meeting its own climate change goals. So France is not, you know, living up to the Paris Agreement. But, you know, they probably can't read it in a different language, you know, it's in French. So they were the ones who brokered the international treaty, committed to reducing green. house gases by 40% by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2050. Unfortunately, it looks like they're not going to be able to make that. So they've got some real problems. They have to pay now one euro, $1.20, one euro, this according to the court,
Starting point is 00:25:32 for moral damage to each of the association. associations behind the lawsuit. And that could, I mean, I'm, I'm suing them because I'm so upset about it. So it could, that could, you know, just, that could be hundreds of euros. We, we just don't know it this time. Meanwhile, China, who is, has declared that they will be carbon neutral by 2060. They are making great progress, great progress.
Starting point is 00:26:05 They built three times as many coal plants in 2020 as the rest of the world combined. But just three times. It's not like 30 times. Exactly right. It could have been. They were thinking about 30. Yeah. And they were like, let's cut it down to just three times the rest of the world.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Combined. And the Voice of America news has observed. Now, remember, when you hear Voice of America, You know freedom is on the other side of that microphone. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? And they said that this would seem to undermine China's short-term climate goals. What?
Starting point is 00:26:48 But, yeah, it would see, according to Voice of America, it would seem to undermine their short-term climate goals. But President Xi Jinping has promised to make his country carbon neutral by country. 2060. So Voice of America would like us to know that they're going to make up for that in the long run. Just bang, just 40 years from now. Yeah. They'll just go take care of that. It's just going to happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yeah. That's fantastic. They have a total under construction of 88.1 gigawatts of power. 88.1 gigawatts. Isn't it 1201 gigawatts? No, it's 1.21 gigawatts. in back to the future. 1.21.1 gigawatts.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Wow. So they're, under construction, China now has 88.1 gigawatts. I mean, they could go back to the future at any point, 88 times. And is it a coincidence? 88. How fast do the car have to go? 88 miles an hour. It's not a coincidence. That's why they can promise that they are going to be able to do it in the future because
Starting point is 00:28:02 they've already been there. They know. They know. So we have that going for us. Meanwhile, Texas is a little frigid. Yeah. Yeah, our infrastructure just doesn't seem to be what we thought it was. Did you see Germany is deciding that maybe we need to do more oil and gas energy?
Starting point is 00:28:29 Because what we're using, you know, the solar and wind. Well, all our solar panels are frozen and covered with snow. Huh. And all, like Texas, all our wind turbines are frozen solid. And so we don't have any power from that. That is weird. Yeah. Is that weird?
Starting point is 00:28:47 Do you remember the old windmills in Holland? Because I, I mean, maybe. But I don't remember ever. Did they free solid? I don't have to look into that. Yeah. Because I don't remember it happening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I mean, I wasn't around in the, you know, in the 1500s. But Jeffrey was. So we got that going on. And Joe Biden was. So we know. Right. We know he knows. So that's good.
Starting point is 00:29:15 That's good. Yeah, this is interesting because one of their scientists, Professor Schwartz, explained the problem that's going on in Germany. And he said, with this supply of wind and photovoltaic energy, which is solar energy, we have between zero and two or three percent. energy from wind and solar. That is de facto zero. You can see it in many diagrams that we have days and weeks in the year, where we have
Starting point is 00:29:47 neither wind nor PV photovoltaic, especially this time, for example, there is no wind and no PV, and there are oftentimes when the wind is very minuscule. These are things, I must say, that have been physically established and known for centuries. Now, wait a minute. Hang on just a second. You're saying Germany. Yeah. A place known for its beaches and sunny skies.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Right. Right. You're saying that people have known that there would be days and days and maybe even months without any sun or wind. Huh. Yeah. And you remember. That comes as a shock to me. In all the World War II movies, it looks so toasty and warm and tropical, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:30:34 It does. It always looked. They were in battle. We would be there and you'd be like, why is everybody in the German? Remember the little short shorts that the German officers used to wear? Yeah. The tank tops and the short shorts. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:48 When they were battling in the front. Freaking hot. Yeah. It was so hot. And that's what I thought too. Sometimes because it was the Uber race, you thought they're hot. Right. And you just thought people meant that as they were good looking.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And no. No. They were actually very warm. Very warm. In the front. And that happened in Russia, too, I understand. I understand it did. Russia, known for its beaches.
Starting point is 00:31:15 It's sunny, sunny days. Yeah. Yeah. I have solar panels. And you know when they don't work? Clouds? The winter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:25 And winter. And night. Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. That's when they don't work. As long as you have a direct. line of sight to the giant flaming ball of gas up in the sky.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Then it's okay? Then it's fine. Now, I'm not a scientist. I don't even know what that flaming. I mean, I got up just the other day and I looked out and I was like, the sky is on fire. And they said, no, that's a flaming ball of gas of some sort. And as long as you, and I said, I'm against gas. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Oh, yeah. That's a petroleum. That's dinosaurs. So all the dinosaurs in space that died. collected in that flaming ball. In that flaming ball. And they're burning fossil fuels. And that is not something I'm for.
Starting point is 00:32:11 You shouldn't be doing that. So should not be doing that. You got that going for you. So good news. We are getting deeper and deeper into the green thing, which I think we're all for. I will tell you that Jaguar has announced that by, what is it, 20, 25? 2024, all of their cars will be electric. No, in four years?
Starting point is 00:32:42 Let me look. Let me look. I'm got to find it here. Wow. Yeah, it's shockingly close. Shockingly close. Because even GM is saying, what, 20-20-25. GM is saying 2035, I think.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I believe Jaguar is a GM product or is it Ford now? Jaguar Jaguar Land Rover's luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 Wow and will launch E models of its entire lineup by 2030
Starting point is 00:33:16 That seems impossible Yeah The high performance E type model In the 60s and 70s Jaguar faces the same challenge as other carmakers Making its transition to electric vehicles While retaining its feeling And power of luxury combustion
Starting point is 00:33:31 engine model. I mean, I'm telling you you're not going to be able to own a fossil fuel car. Soon. 2030, 35. Really soon. Yeah. And what is the deal with the, can Jaguar go further than 300 miles on a charge? I mean, have they fixed the battery problem?
Starting point is 00:33:52 No. That's the deal. Nobody, including Tesla, has fixed that problem. You've got to stop and recharge for. 45 minutes or an hour. Where are you going to go? Where are you going to go? I mean, you don't have to really leave your house. No, I really do. Sometimes I'll take off and go 700 or 800 miles. Why? To see other people that you don't want to see other people. Family, friends. Did you see, I am not making this up. Experts are now saying that in the United States, we will not fully be vaccinated,
Starting point is 00:34:27 fully ready to come out of this until 20. 27. That's the latest. I had it. Quick. 2027. Hey, we just have to flatten the curve. That's all we have to do.
Starting point is 00:34:48 15 days. That's 15 days to flatten the curve. They may have said 15 years. It's been so confusing. I don't even. May I just suggest you look for, Vampire Space Bunnies. Because they are coming.
Starting point is 00:35:02 They are coming. And they won't be a surprise when they come. At least to those of us who have been watching the news. A lot of people haven't been paying attention to the news. They'll be surprised. Us will look up vampire space bunnies. Huh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Seems reasonable. Patriot Mobile right now, little ways every day. We can be working to make our country a better place. Things we can do to make a difference. One of those ways is switching. to Patriot Mobile. Now, how is that making the country better? Because it's taking money out of what you would otherwise be spending with big mobile, companies like Verizon, which give money to terrible things, like Planned Parenthood.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Instead of putting it in the, in companies that donate there, would you like to back a company that is putting it into the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, fighting these battles every day? their pro-life, that's where they take some of their profits and they pour it there. This is a company that was started by former military guys that were all patriots and they figured, you know, we've got to have, there's got to be a better way to do all of these things and protect our Constitution. That's how it was started. Today, it's Roland Strong. Get free premier activation where they set the phone up for you and you get a special gift
Starting point is 00:36:25 with the offer code back. same service, lower price, and the values you believe in. They're on our side, the side of the Constitution. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. That's patriotmobile.com slash back or call 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot or Patriotmobile.com slash back. So I finally understand why we need to route out these extremists. And I understand now who these extremists are. there is a new study out by the Washington Post.
Starting point is 00:37:08 And they have found that people are isolated alone. They need to express their true selves. And that's why there's more extremists out there right now. Because a lot of these people are just craving human interaction. But the Washington Post would like to point out, Since ancient times, pandemics have spurred sharp turns in political beliefs, spawning extremist movements, wave of mistrust and wholesale rejection of authorities. Nearly a year into the coronavirus crisis, Americans are falling prey to the same phenomena.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Historians, theologians, and others experts say that this is a situation where nearly one in five said they believe in Satan worshiping, child- enslaving elites seeking to control the world. Shutdowns have paralyzed the economy in the first months of the pandemic, and when that happened, there was a sharp increase on searches online for extremist and white supremacist materials online. Sure. Now, I don't know about you, but when I was shut in, the first thing I thought was, how can I join the clan? And I think a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I mean, you know, let's drop the dog whistle here and, you know, stop just hiding behind. No, that's ridiculous. Yeah. And let's just start to admit it. A British study found... Well, they got us. They do. They got us.
Starting point is 00:38:40 A British study found that the pandemic boosted radicalization globally as people found more time to delve into extremist arguments. You know, when we were working, we didn't have a. a time. Didn't have time to do it. No, we didn't. We didn't. Some of these insecurities predated the pandemic. Many of those arrested in the Capitol Riot owned businesses or worked white-collar jobs. Did you know that? No. Yeah. Yeah. So, and a Washington Post analysis of public records found that nearly 60% of the people facing charges had prior money troubles. Which means that they're white. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:21 They had bankruptcies and unpaid. Well, of course it does. Okay. They were at home, COVID. They squandered all their money. Yeah. And they had unpaid taxes. Probably on clan material, right?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Exactly right. And many are involved in these things because they have been clobbered, quoting the Washington Post, clobbered for the virus-related shutdowns. Oh, wow. And then they talked to a... Then they talked to a couple of religious experts. Richard Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, said in a healthy society, the government the church would say this is nonsense and people would believe them.
Starting point is 00:40:05 But, you know, that check on extremist impulses by the church is not there. Over the past year, the pandemic was a constant undercurtent as Americans took to the streets to protest racial injustice, police brutality. and President Biden's victory. As we took to the streets to protest racial injustice, I remember that. Yeah, I do too. Police brutality. I remember all of those.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And President Biden's victory. I remember one day. One day. One day. Yeah, yeah. And there's still 6,000 troops in D.C. through the fall now, they're saying. So, well, that was not only an attack. as an insurrection plot and is an impromptu meetup.
Starting point is 00:40:54 But it was also a social gathering for people who were defending their idea of nationhood. Let me talk to you about American financing. American financing is your opportunity to save hundreds, if not $1,000 or more a month. if you are paying three, four, five percent interest on your mortgage. And if you are paying even three percent on your mortgage and you've got a lot of credit card debt, how much are you paying there? You can roll that debt into your mortgage without resetting the term of your loan, get a lower payment, and save hundreds, if not thousand dollars plus every single month. I want you to call American Financing. They're waiting for your call now.
Starting point is 00:41:47 It said 800-9062440, 800-9062440 or American Financing.net. Do it now. All right. The Texas Energy Grid and the Green New Deal, the Green Movement. What's happened to Texas and how can we possibly make fun of California? All of that and more coming up. Texas is going through something historic right now. We haven't had temperatures in Texas like this since, what, 1970s?
Starting point is 00:43:01 It has been a very, very bad few days in Texas, and it's about to get worse. We have sewage treatment plants that are now the pipes are bursting. We, a lot of the state is without any power. Three and a half million people in Texas have been without power for a while, it's not getting any better. But I thought Texas was on its own grid. I thought Texas was fine. How can we possibly make fun of what's going on in California if we get hit by extreme weather?
Starting point is 00:43:35 Is there a difference? And is it getting worse in Texas because of the push to green energy? What does your future look like, America? All that and more in 60 seconds. Time shares. Ah. Those just those words make you just all they fill them. They make the inside of you very, very hot.
Starting point is 00:44:03 I would say warm, but it's more of a hot that you're feeling when I say, your time share. Isn't that great? Listen, you are sending so much money out to that stupid timeshare that you were talked into. It is not saving you money. You couldn't get the bank to refinance. Do you know, do you know that you can't?
Starting point is 00:44:26 get a loan if you're paying on a loan for your time share did you know that banks won't accept it because you don't owe anything do you know what the average interest rate is on a time share no 14 percent 14 percent what do you say what do you say I know I know nobody's gonna nobody's gonna buy it from me I have too much self-respect to con somebody else into buying it that's great good news time share termination team is here and they will get you out of it and they're not going to have to rope somebody else into it.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Time share termination team. Get the process started. Go there now. Timeshareterminationteam.com. Don't put it off. Don't get stuck with another year of timeshare you won't use. You'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare. Make sure you tell them I sent you.

They will give you 100% of your money back if you aren't out of that time share. Okay? So this is not another sucker bet. These are people who do it and they'll give you every dime of your money back if it doesn't happen.
Starting point is 00:45:47 It's timeshareterminationteam.com. Timeshareterminationteam.com. The president and founder for the Center for Industrial Progress, the author of the moral case for fossil fuels, Alex Epstein, is with us now. Hello, Alex, how are you? Hey, Glenn. Great to be back on your show. It's great to have you.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I wanted to talk to you a little bit about what's happening in Texas. There is no way we should be having these problems in Texas with our own power grid, with as much gas and oil as we have. What the heck is happening? So, I mean, this is something I've been warning about for a while in September 2020. So I live in California. When the California blackouts were happening, I warned on Twitter that there are similar things happening in Texas. And so a blackout is an extreme event, but this blackout is not unprecedented.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Texas has been having what I call industrial blackouts a lot. They call it demand management. But it basically means when there's not enough power, they have their industrial, or they'll call it curtailment. They'll have their industrial projects stop. You know, they'll cut off power to industrial people. They won't cut it off to the home. So what's happened here is the lack of ability to meet demand has just been so extreme. And there are some unexpected events that everyone is seeing it. But it's important that this is not an unprecedented thing. It's just a more extreme thing. And this is something that's happened to California. It's happening
Starting point is 00:47:31 around the country. And the fundamental reason, whatever else is going on, is the insistence on using unreliable wind and solar energy instead of reliable energy from coal, nuclear, natural gas. Well, why is that coal, we have, just one thing, yeah, go ahead. We know that those sources, because there's issues of failures in Texas, and we'll talk about that, but we know for a fact that coal, gas, and nuclear can work under any weather conditions around the world. So whatever is going on in Texas, it's not that coal plants don't work, gas plants don't work.
Starting point is 00:48:04 nuclear plants is a combination of specific mismanagement and non-preparation in Texas, but the main thing is too much attempt to rely on unreliable energy, and that takes away focus and funding from the reliable energy and for making it resilient. Okay, so I'm kind of caught in between. Some people are really, really pissed. Some people are like, well, that's what happens. I'm somewhere in between. There are times that I feel like I'm living in Syria.
Starting point is 00:48:30 However, I don't expect the state to spend oodles of money protecting for something that happens once every, even, you know, when it comes to salt trucks and everything else, why spend the money? It happens every 10 years. This is something that happened, you know, about every 40 or 50 years in Texas. So I cut some slack, but I don't understand why our coal plants are down. They are down. Our natural gas plants are down. Why? Well, so there's, I mean, I don't think the ERCOT is the so-called Reliability Council of Texas.
Starting point is 00:49:09 They haven't been totally open, so it's not easy to tell exactly what's going on. There are a number of things that can happen. So one thing that they'll tend not to talk about is it's possible there's been some just mismanagement of supply and demand. So when demand was exceeding supply, they didn't curtail demand early enough, and that can cause things to trip up. It can be that specific plants aren't resilient enough. It can be that the fuel infrastructure. There's something off with that in terms of delivery of fuel. And this is something that I think that will emerge.
Starting point is 00:49:38 But again, these are all things that are handled everywhere around the world. They're not inherent in coal, gas, and nuclear. Whereas what you see with wind and solar is they went completely out to lunch when they were needed most. So no matter how, even if there had been no freezing of the wind turbines, wind would have still been useless during very large portions of the situation. So the basic lesson... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, why would wind turbine...
Starting point is 00:50:05 When there was wins, why were wind turbines not useful? Well, there were frozen, some of them, but... Well, I know that. There wasn't win the whole time. So even when there has it... So a talking point for the other side has been, oh, well, not that many of them froze. But if you look at the recent data over the last several days, there have been times when
Starting point is 00:50:24 it's been one gigawatt out of... 32. So part of the thing is they call the maximum possible wind, the capacity, which is ridiculous. It's just a lucky situation. So they say, oh, we have 32 gigawatts of wind and everyone brags about that. But when the going gets tough, you had one, two, or three gigawatts of wind. So again, they're always, people always like to talk about the peak, but the real thing is, where are they when you need them? And the point is they're not reliable. They're basically reliable for zero. And that's why they add so much cost, because you always have to have the unreliable infrastructure and the reliable infrastructure. So some greens are blaming not enough gas
Starting point is 00:51:05 being online, and that's because the green scheme requires it to be offline so we can get more electricity from wind, right? Right. Everything is engineered around trying to maximize the amount of unreliable wind that you're using. So the whole way the grid is working normally, that's very wasteful, is you're cycling the gas up and down to accommodate the wind. If you had a reliable energy infrastructure, which we used to have around the country, you would just have a whole slate of reliable plants. And then when you had a lot more demand, you could just ramp a lot of the reliable plants up.
Starting point is 00:51:41 But here, what Texas is trying to do is they're trying to minimize the number of reliable plants to cut costs. And this is why one of the public utility people said in, I think it was 2019, like, hey, we've got a serious issue. our reserve margin is very scary. Texas is notorious in electricity circles for trying to get away with the lowest reserve margin possible, which means the smallest margin for error possible. It's gone down dramatically because they've been trying to cut prices and use wind. That's what happened in California.
Starting point is 00:52:12 We didn't maintain our power lines enough because we didn't want to raise prices even more after we had inflated them with green energy. If you don't focus on reliability, you're going to lose reliability. So in northern climates, when it gets cold like this every single year, how do they avoid this problem? Are they doing less green energy than Texas is? Well, there are two things. I mean, so one is just they have better specific policies for their plants and that can take all sorts of measures. But they just figure out, I mean, these are, you know, these places, Texas, even in bad weather is not as bad as places around the world.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I mean, obviously, places in Russia, they're using these kinds of places, places in cold parts of Canada. Now, what's happening, though, it's important with what I call the unreliable, so the solar and wind. It is possible to have a certain amount of them along with the reliable. So people in the Midwest are saying, hey, look, our wind turbines are working. And it's true that you can spend money and they don't necessarily ice. But the point is they're adding cost and they don't scale. Because, again, you have to pay for the unreliable energy infrastructure and the reliable energy infrastructure. Plus, it's really an efficient to run.
Starting point is 00:53:24 grid that way because it's like stop and go traffic for the Reliables plus you wear them down a lot more quickly when you move them up and down. But the real thing to notice is you cannot rely on the unreliables. They're parasites. And what we have as a country is a policy that's trying to get us 100% dependent on these parasites. The real lesson of Texas is not that wind turbines froze. It's that wind and solar cannot keep us warm and powered in the winter. And so these Green New Deal type plans are a complete fiasco.
Starting point is 00:53:53 And everybody should be asking Biden, what the hell would Texas do under your situation? How the hell would they get power if you're going to have nearly 100% wind and solar, which were totally out to lunch when they were needed most? Jeez. Wow. I mean, we're now buying the power, I believe, from Mexico, which is what? So are these, when people say the Texas grid, we're fine because we have our own grid in Texas. have the progressive policies just pretty much dismantled any positives we had with that? Yes. So this is, I mean, I was really scared of what was going to happen with this storm,
Starting point is 00:54:35 and my fears unfortunately came true. But one thing I thought would be good in terms of a lesson is Texas does have this isolated grid, and that can be an asset or liability. But what it really illustrates is the problem of relying on unreliable energy, because in California, even, you know, we import 25% of our electricity, which at a given time can be 40% of our electricity. 25 is just an average. So we're bailed out by Nevada, Utah, Arizona. But what happens is they start trying to have more and more unreliables. Then we can't rely on them. And that's what happened in the summer. It got hot. Wind went down. The sun goes down every day. People are shocked. And we didn't have enough electricity. And we couldn't get it. So everyone is trying to play this game of get it of chicken with how much
Starting point is 00:55:21 unreliable can I use and get away with it. And Texas is a good illustration because it's this self-contained world. And so we need to learn that the whole U.S. cannot be like Texas. And again, Texas is something like 20 percent wind. It's a tiny fraction of the Biden plan. The Biden plan says 100 percent carbon neutral grid. By 2035, that's 14 years. And he's not possible. He does nothing to support nuclear. And the biggest giveaway is none of these people support nuclear. Texas has not been increasing nuclear. If you look at Texas's plant, so I just wrote about this on Twitter.com slash Alex Epstein.
Starting point is 00:56:02 And so I wrote the statistics. Listen to us, Glenn, what would you think Texas has plant? Okay, so zero nuclear plants. Nuclear are the most weather resilient plants. They store their food. So zero plants, no new coal plants. They're probably going to shut down plants. 9.4 gigawatts of wind.
Starting point is 00:56:20 So the existing 32 gigawatts, it went down to one gigawatt when it was needed most. So it's basically useless. And then 12 new gigawatts of solar, and solar was almost completely useless. And then five new gigawatts of gas, which is basically to handle all the ups and downs of the wind and solar. So this is Texas plan, and that is a mild day at the beach compared to what Biden has planned. So we need to totally change direction. All right. So I want you just to tell us what America looks like with the Biden.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Biden plan and what states and people locally should be, should be doing. Because the first thing that came to my mind was, I am not sufficient. I am not self-reliant at all. I'm still reliant on here in Texas. I'm reliant on way too much stuff, way too much stuff. And when you can't, when you can't weather a storm for three days, four days without, These aren't rolling brownouts or rolling blackouts. They're not scheduled anymore.
Starting point is 00:57:21 They started scheduled. Now we're just, now we're just having full blackouts. And that, I mean, that just is not in a, in a, you know, 21st century world. That makes no sense whatsoever, in my opinion. All right. Back in just a second, more on the green energy movement and what that means to you coming up in just a second. there's a scam out there now where you get a text message claiming that you can access a free year of Netflix. Wow, really a free year?

Starting point is 00:58:48 We are back with Alex Epstein. He is the president and founder for the Center for Industrial Progress, the author of the moral case for fossil fuels. Alex, so what does America look like with the way the Biden administration is heading even right now? It's important that because of the dynamics I mentioned,
Starting point is 00:59:27 this whole 100% carbon-free grid, particularly with that nuclear, like that's not going to happen. It's completely impossible. The whole net zero by 2050 thing is impossible, but that doesn't mean we don't need to worry about it because as we're seeing with Texas, even small steps in that direction are disastrous. So what you see is just more and more of these blackouts,
Starting point is 00:59:46 of these brownouts. And one thing I want to highlight is what happens to industry? What lesson does industry take when they keep getting blacked out and they get blacked out a lot more than much more than we do as consumers? They're going to go overseas. They're going to go overseas. other places. I really want to highlight the strategic thing that's happening right now with China, because nobody's paying attention to it. China uses five times more industrial electricity
Starting point is 01:00:08 than the U.S. five times. And the vast majority of it comes from coal. A lot of that electricity is used to build unreliable solar panels and wind turbines for us. Of course, we don't mostly build them here because they have to be built with cheap energy, which means they have to be built with fossil fuels. They're not built with solar panels and wind turbines. Obviously, so you have China making this very strong strategic move to get us to unilaterally disempower and for them to empower. And then they say, oh, we're going to go net zero by 2060. They get praised by Biden. They get praised by this guy, Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock, who almost runs the financial world right now.
Starting point is 01:00:46 And so you just see this amazing strategic play where they are using fossil fuels to get ahead. They have record oil import. They had a five-year high in coal production. They're building 100 plus new coal plants. again, five times more electricity. So they're disempowering us, empowering themselves, and then selling us these almost useless solar panels and wind turbines, and Biden is playing into it.
Starting point is 01:01:10 So unfortunately, he is, the expression is useful idiot for China. And I think that security thing should scare us just as much as everything else. So where do we, where do we go? Because honestly, you have Bank of America saying that they're not going to, you know, they're going to start looking at loans. If you're not green, you may not be able to be fitting into their portfolio of businesses they can loan money to. You have Black Rock pushing this. You have the Great Reset pushing all of this.
Starting point is 01:01:44 And Jaguar just came out and said they'll be fully electric cars by 2025. And nobody's talking about the increase in electricity that is needed if we all. go to electric cars? Yes, I think that these, it's crucial to have these moments as teaching moments. So this is maybe the crucial teaching moment of 2021 to change the narrative on this. And I mentioned that on Twitter, I posted a very comprehensive explanation. More broadly recently, I created a website called energy talking points.com that takes all of these issues and gives you very quick, well-referenced statements on everything.
Starting point is 01:02:25 And that's part of my overall goal of just changing the narrative, where we move from this focus on unreliable energy and climate catastrophe to one where we recognize that if we use the best sources of energy, namely fossil fuels and nuclear, we can keep making the world a better and better place to live. I do believe we impact climate, but we're talking about one degree in 170 years, climate-related deaths are at all-time lows. Fossil fuels are making the world a better and better place to live. the facts are on the side of that and mandatory government-controlled green energy is making the world the worst place to live. So those are the two narratives. I just keep hitting over and over and over,
Starting point is 01:03:02 and eventually people are going to see that narrative corresponds to reality. And the other narrative is just unreal and destructive. Thank you so much. Give me the name of that website you just created again. It's called EnergyTalkingpoints.com. Energytalkingpoints.com. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Appreciate it. Alex Epstein, the president co-founder for Center for Industrial Progress. More in just a second. You know, I have to tell you, well, I have a second. My family and I have been so concerned about others that don't have heat, others that don't have all of the stuff that we might have. The suffering that is going on in Texas for green energy should wake people up alone. All right, let me tell you about real estate agents. trust.com. So I thought, you know, about writing the entire list of things I'd rather do than get involved with buying and selling of a house. But I realized pretty quickly, that would take me probably for the next 40 years to do that.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Give you a hint. Among them was bungee jumping into a ball pit filled with venomous snakes, taking a bullet to the shoulder just to see what it feels like, working at the New York Times. Those were just some of the things that I'd rather do. than buy or sell a house. It's a hassle, but it doesn't have to be. If you have the right real estate agent in place, you're not going to have all of those hassles.
Starting point is 01:04:36 You need somebody who knows the market, knows how to attract the buyers, knows what your house and your new house really should go for. And then they know how to negotiate. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. Go there now. Real estate agents.

We talk to their new interim CEO coming up in just a second. There's a story in the Washington Post today. Pandemics have spawned extremist movements since ancient times. I started talking about it last hour.
Starting point is 01:05:41 I want to go a little further in depth on this and read it to you because it shows the thinking of the elites and where they're headed. Adam Kruegler, quoting the Washington Post, used to feed his YouTube following a politics free diet of chatter about aliens, movies, skateboardings, and video games. Then came the pandemic. Now he devotes much of his talk show to his assertation that mask mandates are an assault to personal freedom. And that Democrats somehow stole 2020 election from Donald Trump. The result, a much bigger audience. Okay. Well, I mean, you know, skateboarding should have brought a huge audience. I mean, everybody's skateboarding nowadays. A much bigger audience.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Yes, because everyone's life is affected by the mask mandates. And yes, the mask mandates are an assault on personal freedom when you mandate them. Going to the United States, the people of the United States and say, look, we all need to wear masks. Can we all just do this? We all have to work together. The American people would not have had a problem with it. We wouldn't have. We did it.
Starting point is 01:06:57 We were wearing masks when they told us not to wear masks. It's the mandate that is an affront to personal freedom. And the Democrats somehow stole the 2020 election. Washington Post, are you really? Yes, you are. So I'm not even going to ask. The Washington Post is so deep up their own ass, excuse the expression, that they can't see any light anymore.
Starting point is 01:07:24 They, they, all they see is intestines. and their own crap that they've been eating. The pandemic has made more people want to blame someone else because they've lost their jobs or they're lonely, Kriggler said. True. Ian Bain, for years a campaign professional, has sworn off politics and launched a career in real estate. Then COVID hit.
Starting point is 01:07:55 And he helped launch No Mask Nevada, organizing a dozen rallies against masking because he said the government was, inflating the danger of the coronavirus. Well, I think that's true. Now that we know that it is point, what is it, point six percent, point eight percent deadly, and most of it is on the upper end, yeah, it's been overstated. People are isolated alone.
Starting point is 01:08:25 They need to express their true selves, Bain said. I don't know why we're surprised that there's more. extremism now. People came out to rallies because they craved human interaction. Okay. That's not why people are not craving human interaction. So they're like, let's go protest the government. That's not what's happening. Yes, our kids are killing themselves because they crave human interaction. More extremism? There isn't more extremism. I contend there is more extremism. There is more extremism. on the part of the federal and some state governments. It is extremist to say 15 days to flatten the curve, and now we are approaching a one-year anniversary, and we have put all of these people out of work. That's extremists.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Not the people who say, hey, maybe I should be able to feed my family. The action of the government is extremists. Don't let them use this extremists. extremist talk against anyone, except them. It's amazing. Here's the Washington Post again. Since ancient times, pandemics have spurred sharp turns in political beliefs.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Hmm. Okay. Pat, have you changed your political belief? Have you had a sharp turn in your political beliefs? No. Yeah. You still believe in the Constitution? Still do.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Still believe in the Bill of Rights. Yes. Still the cornerstone of everything you believe? Mm-hmm. Yeah, me too. Mm-hmm. I haven't changed my political belief. Not at all.
Starting point is 01:10:11 It's that the extremists in Washington, in these so-called public-private partnerships, in these so-called civil rights groups, they are now jamming down everyone's throat, the extremist thought that men can have babies. that our girls should be able to play sports with guys on the team who are claiming their girls, and that's not a problem. Or how about the extremist idea that the banks should get bailed out, but not the American people.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Here's an extremist idea. The federal government has a right to tell you to close your business for a year. I think these are all extremist ideas. So I haven't changed from the Bill of Rights. I still believe in that. That doesn't make me an extremist. That makes you, the one who are pushing new policies that have never been done before in America, never even been tried in the world. You're the extremist.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Not me. Not me. Anyway, history has shown that extremist movements, waves of mistrust. Brostin, wholesale rejection of authorities. Now, why would we have a wholesale rejection of authorities? Or any kind of mistrust for the government. Right. Or the media.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Couldn't be that they've lied to us every step of the way, couldn't? Every step of the way. And the media has done their bidding. The media has covered up every step of the way. The reason why you have QAnon is because people don't believe the government because they have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. You know, why don't people trust you? If you are somebody and you have a bank and you're like, gee, nobody's coming into the bank.
Starting point is 01:12:16 There's nobody wants to do business with us. They say we're untrustworthy. Well, have you been? Wells Fargo? Have you been? because I can explain your lack of trust from the American people if you've been screwing them. And that's what Americans feel. Our hired representatives don't represent us, and we know this because we've seen it over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Every time we elect someone, the state does everything they can to dismantle them. If we elect somebody like a Tea Party person, they co-opped them. They changed them. They threatened them or they throw them out. So you needed to get somebody with a bigger hammer. Donald Trump. What did the big state do? Destroyed him.
Starting point is 01:13:13 Did everything they could to destroy. Lie after lie after lie. I'm not the extremist. I'm not the extremist. Americans are falling prey, says the Washington Post, to the same phenomenon, On historians, theologians, and others experts say, exemplified by a recent NPR Ipsos poll in nearly one in five said they believe Satan worshiping child enslaving elites took control of the world. Do you believe that, that Satan worshipping child enslaving elites now have control of the world?
Starting point is 01:13:49 No. Yeah. Neither do I. As shutdowns paralyzed the economy in the first months of the pandemic, of the pandemic, Americans sharply increased searches for extremist and white supremacist materials online. I don't know anybody. I don't know anybody who did that. I don't know anybody was like, I lost my job. I've got to become a white supremacist.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Do you? Do you know anybody? New insecurities and fears loosed by the pandemic fed into the existence. erosion of trust in leaders and institutions, according to those who have studied how people react rampant to uncontrolled disease. We're not reacting to the disease. We are reacting to the leaders of our country of medicine and the media. We're reacting to them. When you tell us not to wear a mask and then you tell us to wear a mask, you lose credibility. when you tell us, no, this is going to be over in 15 days, we accept that, okay, maybe this summer, we got to do it for a couple of extra months because we don't have a hand.
Starting point is 01:14:58 A year into it, you have no credibility. You have none. And then you come to us at the same time when you told us no masks were good, and now you're proposing a two mask minimum to be legal. No, no. in a healthy society, the government and the church would say this is nonsense, and people would believe them, this according to Richard Land President of the Southern Evangelical Seminary. But during the pandemic, that check on extremist impulses has failed for some who crave connection
Starting point is 01:15:33 with others. God created us as social creatures, and when we isolate from other human beings, we tend to malfunction. That part is true. Over the past year, the pandemic was a constant undercurrent. as Americans took to the streets to protest racial injustice. No, the pandemic had nothing to do with that. Police brutality.
Starting point is 01:15:54 All of those protests, all of the racial injustice, all the looting, everything went on. That's because of the pandemic. And the President Biden's victory in the 2020 election. I only remember one. One. And it was January 6th. It was a bad one. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:14 But one. much as they were motivated by the causes themselves, many who participated in the street actions were probably also eager for human contact. You know what? I love breaking the windows of a Macy store just because we can do it as a human family. In that view,
Starting point is 01:16:32 according to psychologists who have studied the effects of social isolation, the January 6th attack on the Capitol was both an insurrection plot in impromptu meet up. Uh-huh. Yeah. an assault on the infrastructure of American democracy and a social gathering for people who believe they were defending their idea of nationhood.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Just sort of a getting to know you. Yeah. With your fellow extremists. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Many have argued that President Donald Trump's efforts amounted to an attempted coup. But was it?
Starting point is 01:17:05 And why does that matter? Well, in the wake of COVID-19, it appears that far-right extremists have discovered the extent of people's fear of social. control and the loss of liberty and have realized how easily they can manipulate citizens who may not normally subscribe to extreme ideology. It is not extreme to believe in the Bill of Rights. It is not extreme to believe in the Constitution. It is not extreme to believe in a court of law where justice is blind. It is extreme to believe anything other than that.
Starting point is 01:17:44 in America. Now maybe if you live in the Soviet Union or now Russia, what's the difference? It might be extreme to believe in those things. But in America, it is not extreme to believe in liberty. It's not extreme to believe that if your politicians lie, cheat, steal, that they should go to jail or at least be prosecuted or at least be voted out. It is not extreme to believe that the President of the United States should not enrich his own family with the biggest enemy of America and quite frankly the freedom of all mankind, China. It's not extreme. It's not extreme to believe that 30, 40, 50 executive orders in the first 100 days is extreme. It's not extreme to believe that we shouldn't do the Great Reset.
Starting point is 01:18:51 It's not extreme to believe that we don't really have a protected freedom of speech as long as a bunch of global companies, many of them, in bed with the communist Chinese, they get to decide who speaks and who doesn't. It's not extreme to believe that Marxists should not be in charge of our schools. It's not extreme to believe that libraries in those schools should not purge books in America. I'm not even done with the Washington Post, but I just want to make sure that the Washington Post, no, forget them. I want you to firmly understand.
Starting point is 01:19:38 You are not an extremist. If you believe in the Bill of Rights that does not make you an extremist, those who wish to thwart it are the extremists. Although that monologue sure makes me one, I'm sure, in their eyes. Relief factor. What is it that's keeping you from doing the things that you love to do? I mean, besides being forced to wear some sort of a yarmaca on your face over your mouth every day, do you suffer from pain, frequent pain, mild, all the way up to debilitating? It can limit what you're able to do. It can wash all the color out of your world, leaving a bleak landscape where it's hard to find motivation, let alone the ability to do anything at all.
Starting point is 01:20:30 Please, just try. Relief factor. Will you? call them now 800 5383-84 it has worked for so many in this listening audience it's worked for me 70% of the people who try it go on to order more why would you do that unless it works for you just try it for three weeks see if it changes your life relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com
Starting point is 01:20:56 800, 50088384 tomorrow night on glen tv the kids are not all right in the name of progress we're destroyed destroying their minds with Marxist lies. And in the name of safety, we're killing them by keeping them locked down. We have the highest suicide rate we've seen amongst children. Glenn reveals the horrors of a dangerous curriculum that's about to go national and takes on the teachers unions, the Biden admin, and left us failing our children.
Starting point is 01:21:22 What's killing our kids? The case of national suicide. Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at blaisTV.com. Not done with that article from the Washington Post. It's an amazing article. I'll post it online at glenbeck.com. Also, I'll tweet it out. You know what? Better yet?
Starting point is 01:21:41 I'll share it. Yes, on Parlor, it's back. Mark Meckler, you might know the name. He's the interim CEO of Parlor. He joins us next. What has happened to Parlor? How have they recovered? What is their strength now when we come back?
Starting point is 01:22:06 All right. Let me tell you about Bill Burt Bar. Built Bar is our sponsor. This is my favorite. Actually, it was my favorite. This is the mint brownie until the coconut brownie chunk came in. Have you tried this yet? Try this, Pat.
Starting point is 01:22:21 You will love... Do you like coconut? No, you don't like coconut. Give it to me. I'm not wasting. Do you like mint brownie? Yes, I do. So, Billed Bar is amazing.

Right now go to Biltbar.com. Use the promo code Beck and you get 20% off at Biltbar. promo code back, builtbar.com.
Starting point is 01:23:09 All right. Last hour of the program coming up. George Orwell wrote 1984 while he was dying of tuberculosis. He said, it would have been better had I not been under the influence of tuberculosis at the time, but he's not entirely dissatisfied with 1984. He saw the future. He said, this is the direction the world is. going at the present time. Before his death, he said, quote,
Starting point is 01:24:15 in our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the orgasm. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party. But always, there will be the intoxication of power. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, wrote Orwell, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one.
Starting point is 01:24:56 Don't let it happen. It depends on you. And in a time of deceit, telling the truth, is the ultimate revolutionary act. Can you tell the truth? Well, in a revolutionary act, parlor is back online. We talked to the interim CEO Mark Meckler in 60 seconds. Well, mowing season is about to arrive in Texas.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Next week, it's going to be 68. It is one in Texas today. Next week, 68. We have the snowstorm, and next we'll be planting RIS. It will be beautiful as soon as the snow melts. If you have a lot of grass to cut, there is one lawnmower that is unbelievable, unbelievable. It's a hustler zero-turf, zero-turn radius mower. Named after the Air Force's B-58, the hustler bomber.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Hustler mowers are made in the U.S. with some global parts. They offer a hero's discount for veterans, active military, and they're a supporter. of the folds of honor, an organization that helps provide the families of fallen and disabled service members educational scholarships. Hustler has been making and perfecting the zero-turn lawnmower for more than 55 years. I think they're the people who invented it. I mean, and this thing is a tank. When you sit on a hustler, you're not sitting on something to mow the grass. You're living the dream. There is a difference. Go ahead. Check everybody else out. Then find your closest Hustler mower dealer, and you will see the difference.
Starting point is 01:26:49 Before you buy some other mower, find a hustler dealer. Just go test drive one. All you have to do is just check out hustlerturf.com. Go to hustlerturf.com. 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? Mark Meckler is with us. He is the interim CEO of Parlor. which we know now is a website of real danger, real extremism.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Mark, how are you? You know, I don't feel like I'm very dangerous or extreme, but certainly how it's been portrayed. Well, do you believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Absolutely, fundamentally, and unequivocally. Yeah, there you go. I just did a monologue last hour about how extremists are the ones. ones who are trying to get rid of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, but the media and
Starting point is 01:27:55 politics in Washington are trying to make those people seem like the Americans, and we're the extremists. Yeah, they are fundamentally anti-American. They stand against everything that this country is founded on and for, and frankly, those people right now, they occupy the White House, and they're in control of both houses of Congress. We're in real danger. Okay, so you are the interim CEO. If you recognize the name Mark Meckler, it's because he's the Convention Estates guys. And he's been talking about that with us for a long time. What was it? About four weeks ago, we were talking about the Convention Estates. And I mentioned Parlor going under or going out, being taken out. And we talked about cloud services. We talked about there has to be somebody
Starting point is 01:28:41 that is building the infrastructure for the right to fall into. And you talk. at the time about being a part of a movement to do that. Now you're the interim CEO of Parlor. Did that play a role, what you're doing behind the scenes? Yeah, it did, actually. So I'd been thinking about this problem, as we talked about for a long time, and I've been working on finding alternative service providers and folks who are actual real patriots who would stand in the fight in the event that they were attacked. And so I had a little bit of a head start in thinking about this. I knew the primary owners of Parlor, their long-time friends of mine. And so when I saw it go down, I just reached out to see if there was anything I
Starting point is 01:29:19 could do to help, literally didn't expect to end up being the interim CEO. That's just the way things have worked out over time. But yeah, I think a lot of it was my thinking in advance. I got to say, though, when all the credit for getting the backup goes to the staff, these guys have been absolutely incredible. It is taken, however, a month. I'm not blaming this on the staff by any stretch. It's taken a month to get over a month, to get back in the public square. Is there any lawsuit that, I know you're an attorney, is there any lawsuit that can be had for the destruction of business by Amazon and the collusion with all of these companies that we now know happened? Yeah, there absolutely is. There is a lawsuit that's already been filed. We're working on an amended complaint on that. That lawsuit is against AWS Amazon Web Services. And I do think there's liability. I think there's all kinds of antitrust stuff. I think there's business damage stuff. but we'll be putting out more on that probably in a week or so would we amend that complaint.
Starting point is 01:30:19 Good. Did you see the, just so you have it in your coffers, I'm sure you do. The story that came out that showed that there were many more people organizing on Facebook for January 6th than there were on Parlor. You had, I think, six and they had maybe 70? Yeah, absolutely. In fact, there's been a couple of great stories on that. One was an independent review by Forbes. They found the vast majority of violent and insightful stuff. That took place on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram were a close second and third. We barely made the list.
Starting point is 01:30:51 And so, look, there's always going to be bad content on every platform of that size. But the bottom line is this was just a hit job. It was a political hit job. But I would also add that it was a business hit job. They see Parlor as a real threat to their monopoly on the business market and on free speech, and they're going to come after us. There is no place, according to them, for somebody, who disagrees with the
Starting point is 01:31:14 current cabal there's no place for them, is there? I mean, it's not enough being kicked off of the other platforms. When you start and you go on another platform, they'll shut down the platform. Yeah, that's exactly right. And look, I think there's two measures to this, though.
Starting point is 01:31:32 One is no speech outside what they agree. Remember that Mussolini said that the definition of fascism is everything inside the state, nothing outside of the state, and nothing against the state. So that's now being enforced by our government, but also by the tech oligarchy in working with the government. And then I think the second thing is a business model. At Parlor, we believe in free speech. So if you can say it in the public square, you can say it on Parlor. We believe in privacy and data sovereignty, meaning we're not monetizing the data of our users. We're here for our users as a service to our users, not to use them and
Starting point is 01:32:09 use their data. And we have an advertising model that doesn't use their data. And so I think that's very threatening to Facebook and Twitter and all the others. So how are you going to make money when the advertising cabal comes after you guys? I mean, at the blaze, we have worked on building our own advertisers and they're, you know, as close to bulletproof as possible because they believe in us and they believe in the work that we do. Have you guys, Are you at that place with your advertisers? Yeah, absolutely. The same types of people that advertise in the blaze are have advertised and will be advertising again on parlor.
Starting point is 01:32:49 These are people who believe in the same things that you and I believe, and they're not going to fold to the kind of pressure that the woke media and the woke mob put on them. So tell me about the infrastructure and how stable it is now. Can this happen to you guys again? Yeah, look, I'm very concerned. comfortable with the infrastructure. And again, this is where my head was at, as you know, before I went to be with Parlor. What we did is we went out and we found providers who shared our values, but were also big enough to handle the kind of load that we put on them.
Starting point is 01:33:23 And what we did to be sure, and this is really important, Glenn, for anybody who's operating in the space, we made sure that there were multiple redundancies. So we don't have what I would describe as any single points of failure. I'm very certain I've talked to the CEOs of all the companies that we're working with. I'm very certain. they're going to stand with us and not cave to the woke mob. But even if they do, we've built in multiple redundancies, and we're going to continue to have layers of redundancies so that we know we're bulletproof in the future. So let's talk about, let's play devil's advocate here. The problem that they will say is that we are living at a time where conspiracy theorists and
Starting point is 01:34:03 crazy things and white supremacists and all kinds of terrorists can be online. And you don't want to add fuel to that. You should make sure that you have an algorithm that stops all of that kind of hate speech. Tell me why that's wrong if you do think it's wrong. I do think that's wrong because that runs, first of all, it runs contrary to just our philosophy at the founding and our philosophy through most of American history really until recently. We believe that if you don't like somebody's speech, bad speech should be countered with good speech, should be countered. countered with more speech, not with less speech. When you start camping down on free speech, you start creating, well, you've read about this.
Starting point is 01:34:47 You talked about this, George Orwell's view, the 1984 view of the future, which is this idea that the government will control all, that we will have overlords and overseers. Now, I do agree, by the way, that there are far too many people out there pushing conspiracy theories, and many of them are in the Democratic Party in Congress. they're on CNN, they're on MSNBC, ABC, CBS, all the others. Yet, at the same time, I think we should just debunk their conspiracies as we've largely done, as opposed to seeing them shut down, which I'm not interested in doing. Yeah, I've not asked for people to be shut down.
Starting point is 01:35:21 I've supported people who have been attacked by the woke mob, even and especially when I vehemently disagree with them. Freedom of speech means freedom of speech. talk to me about the person who says, yeah, but now if I go over to parlor, there's going to be all these people, because usually when it is, when there's one place to go, you know, all these places that are pushing the boundaries are going to be there. And I don't want to be a part of that. You know, that's the beauty of parlor. And one of the things that makes it so different from all the other social networks, this big scary word at the social networks is algorithm. And I think, people should be scared of that big scary word because what it means is if you go over there and you like certain things, they're going to start pushing other things at you that sort of they think fit. And this creates what I call the echo chamber effect.
Starting point is 01:36:15 And it does put a bunch of stuff into your feed. You might not want to see. At Parlor, you 100% design your own feed. There's nothing that you're going to see that you haven't requested to see. You can easily remove anything from your own feed. Again, we believe in data sovereignty and we believe that our users are prime. That's who is in charge of their experience at parlor. We want them to see only the people that they want to see and hear from only the groups and people that they want to hear from.
Starting point is 01:36:42 So tell me now about the people that did belong. How long is it going to take before you're fully running with at least the people that you had before? So the platform is fully up and running right now. We have the capacity to handle everybody who wants to come back and log on. And there are some limitations right now. One of the limitations is we're having folks having trouble with the Apple iOS. I believe that's a technical limitation we're going to get around here today. Part of the problem with that is that we can't update the Apple, the app that's on the App Store right now,
Starting point is 01:37:18 because we got removed from the App Store. We're working on that. So folks can't update it. And if there are problems in there, we can't fix those problems. So that's one of the things we're working on right now trying to fix that. I bet Apple is spending over backwards to help you with that, too. Well, I'm not going to comment on that right now, Glenn, because we'd really like to be back in the app store because so many users want to be able to download the app. I know.
Starting point is 01:37:41 So the second piece of that is that we'll have, we are seeing every day more and more functionality come back. Folks need to remember that this thing, when it went down, it's not just a website. I think if you're not involved in technology and it works, it's seamless, it's, we don't think about what's involved in it. There's so many different layers. I'm so proud of the staff at parlor for literally 16 to 20 hours a day they've been putting in for weeks to get it back up. But we expect to see glitches over the next few days. It's better today than it was yesterday. It's going to continue to get better throughout the week.
Starting point is 01:38:13 And I expect that we'll be back to full functionality sometime next week. This week, by the way, we're not even taking new subscribers. We're focusing only on the existing Parlor family. Make sure everything's up and stable and running well and I expect to be accepting new users next week. Is everything that, you know, you may have posted before, or do you have to start from scratch if you're an old subscriber? If you go there right now, likely you won't see any of your old stuff. All that data has been preserved, and we will start loading that.
Starting point is 01:38:43 We didn't want to load the system with old data when we first went up, but all of that stuff has been preserved, and it's all going to come back. Okay. Mark, best of luck to you. And congratulations to everybody who didn't give up. and fought the battle behind the scenes. I know what it is like when you're running a digital company, and you come under attack like that,
Starting point is 01:39:04 especially when you're not one of the, you know, you're not Facebook or Google. It is all hands on deck, and I got to tell you, it's remarkable that you are back in the first place, and you've got to be proud of all of the people that are working behind the scenes,
Starting point is 01:39:24 because I know what it takes. and you guys just pulled off a miracle. Congratulations. Yeah, I appreciate that, Glenn. Thank you very much. And you're right. It's the staff. I don't get any of the credit.
Starting point is 01:39:34 I come in, I get to go on the radio and talk to guys like you, but they're incredible, hardworking team all over the country. These guys have worked day and night, and they get all the credit for pulling this off. Thank you so much, Mark. Appreciate it. Thanks, Glenn. All right. You bet.
Starting point is 01:39:49 You should have him on next week. Remind people that they can join if you're a new user next week at Parlor. All right, let me give you a couple of things. Bank of America has just said the emerging market currencies have inflation risks, bad, bad inflation risks. They say the long-term outlook is more balanced, but you should have some protection against higher inflation in the emerging markets. This is really, really bad because all of those, all those. those countries that have used the U.S. dollar to back anything, as we inflate our money, they're the first hit. So if they start to have inflation, they are going to start having
Starting point is 01:40:38 trouble getting food and basic services. It's going to drive up the cost of shipping for them, et cetera, et cetera. This is going to be bad for America long term. Because you know how you feel when you're having to bail out California? They feel like they're, They're bailing us out because they have a dollar. And we're inflating their lifestyle first. This is really not good. This is one of the reasons why gold is going through the roof. It is another reason why Bitcoin is it $50,000 a coin today.
Starting point is 01:41:14 You've got to have something, got to have something outside of U.S. dollars. And right now, the time to get to gold line and back your. your investments up with some silver or gold. And I don't mean paper. I mean actual physical gold or silver. Do it now, especially with silver before it goes through the roof. When silver really starts to move up, I can guarantee you gold line will not be giving it away with gold orders as free promotion.
Starting point is 01:41:47 They won't be able to afford to, but they're doing it right now. This is the last week to receive free walking Liberty half dollars with the purchase of a tube of gold line's $5 gold Liberty coins. You can now receive 25 of the half dollars at no cost as a promotion, but it is this week only. When they sell out, they're gone. Don't wait. They're standing by to take your call. Now call
Starting point is 01:42:12 866 Goldline, Real, Physical, Gold, and Silver. 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or Goldline.com. 10 seconds, station ID. So the majority of people believe that if you believe that the election was stolen, you shouldn't be silenced or punished at all. Huh. Yeah. But only 54% said you shouldn't punish. 54%, 35% said yes, they should be punished.
Starting point is 01:43:00 And 11% are wrong. I don't know. Jeez. So great. Meanwhile, acknowledging their institutional responsibility for addressing racism within the libraries, the University of Delaware and Binghamton University are launching a year-long anti-racist talent management audit. So they're going into the libraries to identify actionable reforms, building on and extending the impact of prior projects that represent diversity, organizational culture. community engagement undertaken with the library, the museums, and archive partners.

If this isn't fascism, if this isn't what happened in Germany, in Russia, in every place where it is gone bad?
Starting point is 01:44:38 I don't know what this is. We don't purge books and history. Sometimes I wonder what else we could have done.

Starting point is 01:46:20 Let me play Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs, who's calling for a truth commission. So it said in an interview with the 19th news website this week that the country needs a truth commission. What exactly would a truth commission be? So I think part of what we're seeing now is because we haven't really done the reckoning with the racial injustice and white supremacy of our past that we need to do. And so, you know, a truth commission, a lot of people will think of South Africa. We've used them in countries around the world. And basically what it is is it's communities all the way up to the national level having conversations about both the glory and the glory of our history and what happened, both throughout the history of our country and leading. up to and on January 6 so that we can come to a common narrative.
Starting point is 01:47:11 You know what's a great thing is about this Truth Commission is we're going to, A, finally talk about race. When will we ever do it? When they did it in South Africa, when they did it in Rwanda, it was because the people who slaughtered those people, you know, in a different tribe, if you will, they were still living next door to the other people. So they needed that truth and reconciliation committee. But I am, I'm all for, I'm not going to pay for them, but I'll pay for them.
Starting point is 01:47:42 Damn it. I'll say, raise my taxes to buy shovels. And we're going to dig up all those bastards that own slaves and then dig up all the slaves so they can testify them in the court of law. I'm for it. It's a great idea. It's a great idea. So we got that now. So we have a truth commission going on.
Starting point is 01:48:04 Swalwell says that we need a white nationalism task force. Finally somebody has said it. And can we play Truth Commission for Buzz, please? It's the same clip. I thought it was cut differently. Okay. You know what this is? Do you have the Nick production?
Starting point is 01:48:28 You know what this really is? This, a Truth Commission, is the Committee of Un-American Activities. That's all it is. It is exactly the same. It's a witch hunt for a different kind of red scare. Trump's disrespect for facts. In order. These people who have signed up off their social media.
Starting point is 01:50:20 Servers. There's a proponent to investigate plans 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. Fire that you can reach us you and you get burned. Every business needs to stand up for every American. Otherwise, eventually they'll come for you too. Well, let this court of our Truth Commission, before we adjourn today, let us come together and hear one more case.
Starting point is 01:51:32 if I could call, as a witness, Governor Cuomo, on his nursing home scandal and who's really to blame? The New York State DOH has always fully and publicly reported all COVID deaths in nursing homes and hospitals. Stop for a second. Is he saying that they have always? fully reported? I think that's what I heard. That is what he said.
Starting point is 01:52:08 Yeah. Now, is that true? We're going to have to have to have the Truth Commission look into that, I think. Right. No, it is not. Okay, and it's not. It's not. And we know that because... His own people have admitted it.
Starting point is 01:52:21 Right. They said that they were hiding the truth. This was the excuse last week. They didn't come out and fully tell the truth because they were afraid of that evil Orange Man Bad. Yeah. And so that's why they didn't do it. Yes. But wait, there's more other than just a bald-faced lie. I have always been fully reported. Not true. Nursing homes had the most vulnerable population. Yes. We know that. COVID did not get into the nursing homes by people coming from hospitals.
Starting point is 01:52:56 COVID got into the nursing homes by staff walking into the nursing homes. Oh, stop. Stop. Hang on. See, I thought when he signed the executive order to take people that were confirmed with COVID and ship them to the nursing homes. Right. And the nursing home said, no, we can't take them.
Starting point is 01:53:17 Please don't do this. And he said, you have to. And they said, you'll kill the patients in the nursing homes. And he said, you have to. And they said, no, we really shouldn't. And he said, you have to. And they said, no, really, this is wrong. And he said, you have to.
Starting point is 01:53:31 and they said, no, this is, you're going to be responsible for many people who are dying. And he said, you have to. A lot of people think that was the problem. But the problem is, is while they were having that discussion, people who were working there at the nursing home, you know, the good care workers, those heroes. The people that were working at the nursing homes, they're not heroes. No, they infected all those poor people in the nursing home. Yeah. It's their fault.
Starting point is 01:54:01 Wow. So, bastards. Yeah. Don't you hate those nursing home workers now? Can we play any more of what he had to say? When we didn't even know we had COVID. Staff walking into a nursing home, even though they were asymptomatic.
Starting point is 01:54:20 A symptom. Because the national experts all told us, you could only spread COVID if you had symptoms. Ah. And they were wrong. And they were wrong. And then they were right again. Yeah, they were wrong.
Starting point is 01:54:37 Hey, it's me, Governor Cuomo. The dumbest mobster in all of government. Da-ha. You know it was really bad. All those people have been calling heroes the whole time. Yeah, they were the real. They were the ones that were killing everybody. We don't have a mob problem in New York.
Starting point is 01:54:58 We've got nursing homeworkers. Who died? needs the mob when you got nursing homeworkers. You know what I mean? Famine a da. Famine a guts. I don't even know what that means. All right.
Starting point is 01:55:13 Here's our sponsor this half hour. It is Bill Pard. Which is delicious. Absolutely delicious. Bill Pilt Bar, we were just actually talking about this in the last break because we were actually eating it. Yeah. And Pat and I are. I mean, look at us.
Starting point is 01:55:33 We like our food. Yeah. We like our food. And we're just talking about how bad diet bars used to be, protein bars still are. Remember when they just used to taste like feet? Like your Dow chemical, yeah, or feet. They don't, they don't taste like that anymore. They are really, really good.
Starting point is 01:55:54 Built bars are the best protein bar out on the market. Tanya tried to get me to try these things about a year ago. And I was like, no, they're healthy, they're protein bars. I know what protein bars taste like. No, no, no. These tastes, you just said it. They're delicious. It tastes like a candy bar.
Starting point is 01:56:14 Like a candy bar. They really do. No chemical after taste at all. I don't know how they do it. I don't either because they are low calorie, low sugar, high protein, high fiber. They're better than most protein bars. when you're eating them, then you can be on a diet and eat them. I mean, this is the flying car that we were all promised.
Starting point is 01:56:37 It's finally arrived. They're called BuiltBars. I want you to get a mixed box and try them out for yourself.

I can't believe the people of New York and how Cuomo's, you know, popularity has faded.
Starting point is 01:57:11 But a guy who went out and campaigned about how great he was wrote a book on management and now has is lying. I don't know why everyone on his staff isn't on talk radio, isn't on whoever would accept them as a guest. If I worked for somebody who then started to blame the nursing home staff, I think I, I mean, I just, I don't care how much I love you. I would be like, this is, I can't, I can't do it another day. I can't, I can't sit here and listen to that. And the people of New York just sitting back and taking it too from him. It's just, it's amazing. You have to, you have to take into consideration that a lot of these guys, I mean, if you're, what are you going to do? I mean, you're in New York.
Starting point is 01:58:08 You're getting fed bull crap from the media. Now, not all the media. They are starting to peel away from him to some degree, but they're still kind of leaving it in question. There's no question. He buried his own executive order. He removed it from the website. His own executive order.
Starting point is 01:58:29 We know why he did it. He was taking advice from all of the big donors that are the big New York hospitals who didn't want all those COVID patients. So they had to do something with them. So who doesn't have a big donor? What group is out there that doesn't have huge money behind it? Oh, I know. Nursing homes. So we put him in the nursing homes.
Starting point is 01:58:55 And now he's blaming it on the nursing home staff. Where's where is the nursing home union? I mean, if that isn't, that's abuse. Where's the nursing home union not standing up to this bully? It's a good word for him too. He is. It's a good word. He is a bully.
Starting point is 01:59:18 They all are. They really, they all are. Anybody who is now, I mean, I'm amazed at the story that I read this morning coming in about the libraries. How our libraries are now going through social justice reforms, and they're going to spend the next year looking for all the books that should be purged from our library. That is a book burning. What are you doing? That's book burning.
Starting point is 01:59:51 You could say goodbye to just about any book written before 1940, because they all contain concepts or language. That is now deemed objectionable. And you can't, you can't say it, you can't think it, you can't, you can't read it. So, I mean, if you can't even have, like is going on with the, with the bachelor or bachelorette, I don't watch it. But have you seen. No, I have not seen. One of the contestants went to an antebellum party, which is you dress up like you're in the South.
Starting point is 02:00:27 Yeah. And so Chris Harrison, who hosts. the show said, that sounds like the woke police that's coming after you. He's off the show now. He had to step aside for the rest of the year, at least, and maybe forever. I wouldn't be surprised if ABC doesn't just fire him outright. ABC has become, I mean, it's a mouse with a badge, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:51 That's all it is. It's a mouse with a badge. You know, they, I ranted last week, you want to talk about hypocrites. The mouse decides who works. Who doesn't? And yet in the, in Moulon, they film it over in China and they thank the people in the province that are rounding Uyghurs up. Oh my God. That's acceptable.
Starting point is 02:01:17 But what that guy said is not. Oh, my. I mean, no thank you. No thank you. It is these corporations. And I've always been pro corporation. I asked you earlier. Have your political values changed?
Starting point is 02:01:35 No. No. Have your views on corporations changed? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the left was right about what was coming with corporations. They were correct about it. But now they're all for it. Now all of a sudden, as these corporations are taking our country and taking control of the country and the world, they're fine with it.
Starting point is 02:01:58 I don't understand. As long as your corporation is run by a leftist, they love you. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google. They're fine with them all. Even though they're essentially four different governments that are kind of run in the show right now. I don't even think they're four different governments. They're about four, the same government. They're the same government.
Starting point is 02:02:21 And they're in collusion with the United States government. Oh, absolutely. They're absolutely in collusion. You know, when Facebook says, hey, we got to take parlor off. And they take parlor off, even though the evidence shows there was more hate and more organizing for January 6 on Facebook. When they can get all of the corporations to destroy parlor, that's one corporation. That's four corporations all walking as one and all doing the bidding for their other partner, the government. Where's the left?
Starting point is 02:02:58 Where are those people that used to say, I'm for rights, and I don't like rights that are being trampled on by corporations? This is the Glenn Back program.
