The audience should never stop suspecting anything.

How can you not be funny crawling around on a coffin?

Yeah, that's true.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if the corners survive.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Back program.

You know, America, when did we become a third world country?

When did we start to just accept?

Oh, yeah, that can't be done.

We can't do that.

Oh, yeah, we're out of that.

Yeah,

just can't get it done.

When did we start expecting and living with?

Yeah, I mean, I am your doctor, I am licensed, but I really believe in this treatment, but I can't give it to you because the government is threatening me.

Excuse me?

This is my third day with COVID, And yes, I didn't get the vaccine.

And yes, just like everyone else who has had the vaccine, I did get it a second time.

You might have had the vaccine and then got COVID.

Well, before there was a vaccine, I got COVID.

So I had the antibodies.

that could fight against COVID.

And maybe that's why this time it's just like a bad cold.

But I want to ask America a question.

Who the hell is running this place?

Why is it I can't get any of the standard treatments that many doctors believe in?

I can't get them either because, oh, we're completely out in Texas.

Or I can't prescribe that because the government will come after me.

This is insanity.

This government, this administration is talking now about sending out more tests so you'll know you're sick,

but then you won't have anything to do about it.

Good luck with that.

I guess you should have gotten the vaccine.

Oh, by the way, they came out and said it looks like now the fourth booster shot is the one that will do it.

We begin in 60 seconds.

Knowing my wussy vocal cords, Stu,

you better help me today because I am revved up and I probably will be having no voice in 30 minutes.

So just be a calming figure for me.

Yes, sir.

Calm.

Remain calm, Glenn.

Everything's going to be okay.

Shut up.

I'm lying, but remain calm.

Let me tell you about my pillow.

My pillow, yes, I am a sheet snob.

I am.

It is something that once you've slept on really good sheets, it's really hard to go back.

And I go to much closer to Mr.

Every Day than I am at this point, Stu Bregier, who was not a sheet snob until he started traveling the country.

That's true.

And you used to mock me.

I did.

And I still mock you.

I mean, that has not stopped.

But usually.

That's what I mean mean for sheets.

For sheets, yeah.

It's important to have this.

I mean, look, I think it's one of those things that you spend so much time in bed, a third of your life, that you should think about making it wonderful a little bit more often.

And great sheets will do that.

A great pillow will do that.

Make that those eight hours, if you can get eight hours,

make it count because it's a big chunk of your life that we never spent any time thinking about.

Yeah, and they are great.

These sheets, I mean, you know, to get really good sheets, it used to be you'd pay hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars for, oh, it's got a thread count of 58,000.

Okay.

And it would cost a lot of money.

It doesn't now with mypillow.com.

In fact, they're having with their Giza dream sheets.

Giza is the softest cotton in the world.

These are fantastic sheets.

Every time you sleep on them, every time you wash them, they get even softer.

They are durable.

They're great.

Two for one Giza Dream Sheets.

Back in a second now, let's start.

okay

i can't get any monocolonal antibodies i guess texas is out of them now

okay do you need those those are i thought for more serious cases they're typically used for people in the hospital or like that are whose life life is threatened now i know you have uh you know 47 different uh ailments that could put you in a category where you could be in trouble with COVID.

But

I'm a guy in my 50s.

I am muscularly obese.

I have immune deficiency.

I mean, I've got a lot of things going on for me.

My

immune system has been compromised.

I mean, I think I could make a good case for that.

I'm just not used to a country that a year

into the monocolonial antibody thing, we still can't get them.

I mean, I've never seen, I've never, I've never been in this country.

I've lived 57 years.

Never in my time,

as an American citizen, have I ever seen a time when you just couldn't get it, unless it was like a Teddy Ruxpin or

Cabbage Patch Kid.

okay

we can always get it we can always get it and now we are running shortages to even people who who desperately need it can they get it in america

one also one quick thing on the on the monoclonal monoclonal antibodies which is a little bit complicating right now is there's three different types of them the two there's been two that people in the regeneron is one i can't remember is it eli lily that has another one yeah so those have been the two most prominent ones.

And there's a third one, kind of like if you think about it as the Johnson Johnson vaccine, right?

Like, there's kind of like a third one that wasn't used as much and wasn't as common.

That third one seems to be the only one working against Omicron.

So,

if you have Omicron, which of course you don't know because we don't have a test that's quick and easy to tell you if you have Omicron, but if you have Omicron, which you probably do at this point, the two main monoclonal antibodies may not even work very well against it.

It seems seems like

what was that first word?

What was that first word?

Is that first word?

May.

May.

I think it was may.

May not.

May not work.

Right.

That's fine.

I understand that.

I've already got, believe me,

I know all the details.

Okay, sorry.

Oh, I wasn't sure.

No, no, no.

I know.

Yeah.

So,

yeah, that's great.

And

I just like the lack of it not to decide for me.

Right.

You know what I mean?

And the other part of it is

can't get any other treatment.

There is no other treatment.

My doctor said, I'd like to give you,

what's the horse medicine that they keep making fun of?

Oh, ivermectin.

Ivermectin.

Yeah, which is not a horse medicine.

No, it's a human medicine.

I would prescribe.

Glenn, I would prescribe that for you.

This was day one when I was first starting to come down with it.

And he's like, but I've already gotten threats.

I can't,

I just can't.

I can't risk writing that prescription.

And I'm like, this is insane.

This is insane what's going on.

We can get sick, but the only thing you can do about it, the only thing is get a vaccine, which doesn't stop you from getting it.

Well, and once you get it, it doesn't help you at all.

I mean, it's not right.

Like once you are already sick, that's not what it does.

Exactly Exactly right.

And so they would be saying, if I had the three boosters already, they would be saying, well, it's the fourth that would really knock this thing out.

Or they'll say, oh, you know what?

But

you've got a milder version of it.

Yeah, yeah, I do.

I do.

And I didn't take the vaccine.

I just, my natural antibodies, because I had it before there was a vaccine, my natural antibodies are now making this into something that I can deal with within a couple of days.

I just have not seen, look, I'm a guy who does this for a living.

I'm a guy with all kinds of connections.

I'm a guy,

if I wanted to go to

call up any doctor in the country, I could probably get them on the phone.

Which makes me think,

what the hell do people that don't have, who are just normal people,

what are they doing?

How do they get their help?

This is the most corrupt system I have ever seen.

Science has totally discredited itself.

Medicine is totally discrediting itself.

You know, all these people who say, you know, if I've got cancer, I should be able to use a cancer treatment.

We just passed that.

We have that now.

If you're dying of something, you have a right to try.

Those are trials.

Gee, it's weird.

So is this.

COVID, everything that we're doing right now is a trial.

Nothing has had five years of study behind it to tell us that it's safe or anything else.

Why don't I have a right to try everything?

Why?

And why is it this government, they will take down everything that is a therapeutic?

Why is it that we only have the vaccine?

No therapeutics.

It would would seem to me that it would be a lot easier to come up with many things that could make you feel better and to help you along after you're sick

than shut it down entirely.

Now, we do have a lot of things.

We do have many things

that are dealing with this, right?

They're just in short supply.

We have two new pills that are coming out here

that are in very short supply right now.

But if you got this in six months, you'd probably have just pills that you'd get

as a prescription.

You do have the monoclotal antibodies, as you point out, not easy to get.

You do have steroids and things like that that they are using just at different phases.

Another one is fluvoxamine, which seems to show some promise for people and is widely available, but again, is another one of these situations, kind of like ivermectin, where it's not necessarily specifically

applicable to this particular

virus yet.

It seems to show all this promise in the studies, but they haven't said, okay, go ahead, try this thing.

So it might not be easy to get a prescription for that either.

I'd really like doctors to be able to prescribe what they want to prescribe.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, totally.

Lots of things that, I mean, there are doctors, I've had prescriptions on things where the doctor was like, it's really not for this, but it actually kind of really works.

I've had that all the time.

How come my doctor can't really do that without fear?

Without fear.

This country has

slipped into fear, and we're allowing it.

If I could use the F-word that wasn't, oh, let's say,

food, I would use it right now.

I want to.

Wait, food you.

Food you.

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

What country do you think you're running?

How dare you

food you?

Isn't though

your current situation something that we've been arguing for a while?

Most people get hit with symptoms that are mild, and this is not a gigantic emergency, and you don't need to be rushed to the hospital to get monoclonal.

The only reason I am not fully recovered today, I am convinced, because I know somebody who had COVID three weeks ago and got Regeneron.

They were well the next day.

The next day, they were like, I am back on my feet.

He told me, I think it was within three hours I was feeling better.

Okay?

The only reason why I am not fully back is because I can't get any treatments.

And it's bull crap.

It's absolute bullcrap.

It is politics.

It is control.

It is fear-mongering.

It is un-American.

Un-American.

How much of this?

Sick of it.

How much of this is just you being frustrated because you're sick and you feel terrible and you're just

angry.

Anger is just bubbling over.

Zero.

Zero.

Stu, how long have I been saying, what the hell?

How long are we going to put up with?

And not about COVID, about everything.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

I can't get paint.

I can't get house paint.

I can't get this.

I can't get this.

Then what the hell are we doing?

If you can't get a product, then somebody, the free market, would say, well, let's step to the plate and make it.

But this government is standing in the way of people that will work.

They're giving them all kinds of incentives to not work.

They're giving them all kinds of rules that stop you from dreaming and doing.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of it.

And here we are.

I mean,

you know, if somebody was like putting posies in a wizard's hat and saying,

I can cure you of this,

you know, at the point where the plague was going on,

why not?

Why not?

I'm not going to get called the wizard.

But if somebody is doing that,

let them try.

I mean, we didn't ever hear anything about Chris Cuomo and his wizard's hat with the posies in it.

He was able to do that.

His doctor was able to do what his doctor wanted to do.

His doctor is insane.

Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?

Who are you?

You've been elected and you've only done politics since 1972.

And you are going to tell my doctor what he can do.

Bull crap.

Food you.

Okay.

No, let me.

Zero percent?

You're saying zero percent.

I just want to make sure I...

It's zero percent.

Yeah, I think it's zero percent.

You've done a lot of monologues on this topic without saying the words food you.

Maybe that's at least one percent.

It's not that I'm feeling bad,

it's that I am

deep in it, just

calling people going, hey, what do you, you know, can I get, no, we're all out.

Okay, well, I heard about this.

Could you do that?

No, I really can't.

No, that's, you know, that's something that...

Why?

Why?

It's bull crap.

Okay, let me tell you about if you want to buy or sell sell your house.

Sell your house if you're living in one of these stupid, stupid states and move down to places where we're actually kind of free.

And that is Texas, Florida.

You know, don't bring your old stuff with you.

If you know why you're moving because of the way your stupid friends voted,

then move out.

And you're going to need a great real estate agent, especially if you're moving from one of those crappy states because who wants to buy

Oh, gee, I got a great house in Chicago.

Great, good luck with that.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

They are, we find, the best real estate agents in your area, the one with a track record and the business practices that we believe make the best person in your area to buy or sell a house.

We can help you across the street or across the country buying and selling your house.

And people who listen to you and work for you.

It's realestate agents I trust.com, realestate agentsitrust.com, 10-second station ID.

Okay.

Did you see the

did you see the speeches

yesterday from the president and the

vice president?

Oh my gosh, is she obnoxious?

That's another story, but

do you see any of those on January 6th?

And did you see that the cast of

Hamilton came out and they zoomed a live performance of Hamilton for Nancy Pelosi and the committee for January 6th, which was so great.

And the way I think we should

have our politicians looking into, you know, that are really buckling in and looking at

people who were trying to overthrow the government of the United States.

I had it on my list.

I didn't think they'd be smart enough to do it.

I thought, while you're deep in that investigation, you should get Carmen Miranda or whoever that guy is to

to do Hamilton, please.

And I know you can't get them in person because of COVID, but they should perform it on Zoom.

I never thought they'd do it, but they did it.

They did it.

America,

sleep well tonight.

Your country is in safe hands.

Safe hands.

You're not helping me a lot here, Stu.

I've been trying, but I think you are.

You've hit that point of irritation where

there might not be a way to help.

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by that?

No,

I think I get that way.

Whenever I get sick or something goes wrong, I just get sick

bothering me.

Because I know I've heard you talk about these issues before,

but there's usually less of a just, I want to kill everyone around me sort of vibe.

You can ask my wife.

I've been a pretty good patient.

I'm not

no, I'm not grumpy.

No, no, not at all.

I don't, I don't think there's any

part of it.

Oh, buckle up, America.

I have just begun

The Glenn Back Program.

I love doing businesses with companies that not only know what I need, but also what I want, and then

don't sit around when everybody else is doing something like, you know, something crappy or telling them that's a crazy idea.

They just do it.

That's my Patriot Supply.

My Patriot Supply are the people that have made my family safe for emergencies, and they give me the calories that I need, not necessarily the calories I want.

I mean, 2,000 calories, who could exist on that every day?

The food lasts up to 25 years in storage, which is great, and it tastes delicious.

You need at least, every family should have a four-week emergency food kit.

Now, this is their most popular, and you can save $50 on a four-week emergency food kit right now.

It's breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, even snacks, 2,000 calories a day.

Your family will be able to have a nutritious diet.

God forbid if something goes wrong with the supply chain.

But what could ever happen there?

Preparewithglenn.com.

Preparewithglenn.com.

Go there now.

Brand new book from Glenbeck, Cranky Glen Beck.

It's called The Great Reset.

It's in bookstores on Tuesday.

Order now.

This is the

he's on now

Mark Levin calling in hello Mark

Is this Glenn Beck

is this Mark Levin

Glenn?

I just wanted to say I just felt

compelled to call you and tell you

you are the number one person in radio when it comes to wardrobes.

I want to tell you something.

This wardrobe meeting today is absolutely fancy.

Yeah, I'm a sharp dresser, am I?

I love you.

You're obviously.

You're obviously watching the show this morning.

Yeah.

Because I'm wearing a Mark Levin.

I'm especially watching your left part of your breast there.

Hey, hey, hey, my eyes are up here, buddy.

My eyes are up here.

How are you, Mark?

That's where they belong.

I'm good.

How are you, buddy?

You know, frustrated, but

you know that.

You know that very well.

I'm doing great, but the country's gone to hell, so that's a problem.

I know.

I know.

Yeah.

Good to talk to you.

June 6th.

Thank you.

Well, you know, June 6th is very, very important.

January, rather, excuse me.

January 6th is a very, very important day.

it's the day i really celebrate to hate the left hate them more than i usually do and um

i thought january 6th we should recognize as the day that murder has gone through the roof thanks to democrat politics

i really think we ought to turn january 6th into an anniversary and uh

isn't that sick the two realities we have the real one where people live and then this

phony collaboration with the media and the democrats and IKD.

It's like two damn different worlds, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

And, you know, the media has gone from fake to knowingly

knowingly lying and obstructing.

They really are, and I hated this when Donald Trump said it the first time, but they really have become the enemy of the people.

I mean, this January 6th thing is total nonsense.

Total nonsense.

Well, they've destroyed the free press.

I mean, when you watch this guy, Chuck Todd, with this haircut, like Eddie Munster or whatever they do, they put like a spaghetti stringer on his head, and

then they take a razor.

I don't know what they do with this guy, but he's like the dumbest low IQ guy, and there he is all over NBC.

And then they have

George Stephanopoulos, who is a complete joke.

I mean, everybody knows he used to, you know, attack women, and now there he is at ABC.

And look what's going on.

Hang on just a second.

Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, hang on just a second.

Stu, can you get the producers on the phone and see if we can move

Stuart Scheller to next hour?

Because I mean,

I don't want to cheat Stuart of time, and I also don't want to cut Mark off.

Because

Mark is crankier than I am, and that's saying something today.

I was just calling about his wife Bridge.

And I don't know what's going on now.

I know, I know.

So did you see Kamala Harris yesterday?

As soon as she came on, I shut it off.

She is

so unlikable.

Just absolutely unlikable.

You know, if somebody has the worst voice in radio, that would be me.

Her voice, I listen to her voice and I can't stand it.

You know, and you know, she's such a phony.

And it's just unbelievable.

To compare this to Pearl Harbor and 9-11 and stuff like that is absolutely unbelievable.

The people who died, the families and so forth, and as you know, and I'm sure you've said it, the only Christian guy that day was an expatriate

who

was shot dead.

But the same people who celebrated the riots, the same people who celebrate Black Lives Matter and all, we don't need lessons from them.

This whole thing is kind of a cover-up for Pelosi, who didn't do what she should have done to protect that Capitol building.

And have you ever seen a more repugnant repugnant and repulsive person than Liz Traney?

Seriously.

Just grotesque.

The Bushes, the

10th, you think.

I know you got a long way to go, brother.

Let me play something here for you.

This is from Biden's speech yesterday.

Yeah, can you play the part where,

you know, just because you lose?

The former President of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election.

He's done so because he values power over principle,

because he sees his own interest

as more important than his country's interest, than America's interest,

and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our Constitution.

He can't accept he lost.

He can't accept that he lost.

Please play a cut five for me, please.

Here are the Democrats.

Yes or no?

Do you still maintain the 2018 election was stolen?

That's your language.

My full language was that it was stolen from the voters of Georgia.

We do not know what they would have done because not every eligible Georgian was permitted to participate fully in the election.

And you know this.

If Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker, and the Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results.

Al Gore would be president.

George Bush would be back in Austin.

I don't see this.

President-elect as a legitimate president.

You do not consider him a legitimate president.

And Al Gore and Joe Lieberman got 547,000 more votes than George Bush did for president of the United States.

Folks, you know it.

I know it.

They know it.

We won that election.

I believe he knows he's an illegitimate president.

He knows.

He knows that there were a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out the way it did.

Let's go back to Florida.

We actually won the last presidential election, folks.

They stole the last presidential election.

I think it's also

critical to understand that as I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign.

You can even become the nominee.

And you can have the election stolen from you.

Was President George Bush legitimately elected?

Without voter suppression,

Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia.

Okay, stop.

They cannot handle losing a single time.

a single time.

And they're now blaming insurrection on this president, questioning the outcome.

There's no question about it.

And, you know,

when there are people blew up the Capitol building in 1954, Jimmy Carter ultimately pardoned them.

And

the weather on the ground blew it up in 1971.

Clinton ultimately pardoned them.

And one of the ringleaders was Obama's buddy, Bel Ayres.

And they attacked the Pentagon and blew that up.

Then they blew up the State Department.

Then they circled back in 1983 and hit the Capitol building again.

Really, January 6th is their May one.

It's their May Day.

That's what we're dealing with here, as far as I'm concerned.

Of course, these are liars, these are hypocrites, they do this sort of thing.

The biggest problem we have is the greatest enemy we have in this country is the Democrat Party.

Whether it's slavery or segregation or Jim Crow, or now it's quote-unquote democratic socialism, they never embrace Americanism.

This party has been a poison, a cancer

on the groin of American American politics, really.

And you see the reprobates that lead it.

Biden, Biden is a nasty man.

He joined in with the segregationists when he got elected.

Then he tried to destroy Clarence Thomas.

He tried to destroy Bob Borg.

This is a mean, nasty guy.

Kamala Harris is as stupid as she seems, to be perfectly honest about it.

And then you have Nancy Pelosi.

I call her Eva Pelosi because she called those brave federal law enforcement men and women who are trying to protect the federal courthouse in Portland stormtroopers.

Now, of course, she

loves only law enforcement that protects her.

But we could go on and on with this.

They're so corrupt, the media corrupt.

These people are...

Look at Chuck Todd.

His wife is a Democrat consultant.

He worked for Harkin.

George Stephanavales with Clinton.

You could go right down the line.

The incestuous relationship between the press and the Democratic Party.

You can't tell the difference between their propaganda ever.

And I'd love to see their texts and emails.

They're so worried about Hannity's.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine the texts and emails between people at CNN and MSNBC and Democrats at Capitol Hill?

Unbelievable.

Oh, yeah.

Let me ask you this.

I love that sweatshirt you're wearing.

Yeah.

You think you can get that

at Blaze Merch.

I think you can get that.

What's the address where you can get this?

I don't know.

I get it for free.

Yeah,

I got mine for free, too.

I love it, uh mark i wear it all the time um let me ask you this i just did an interview with uh

not on me go ahead i'm sorry uh i i just did an interview with donald trump in my mind there is absolutely no doubt he is running again

what are your thoughts on on him running is it the same kind of outcome who do they have to run against him

well uh they're worried about him running again that's what this is all about.

Obviously.

Exactly right.

But they fear him more than anybody else.

The Rhinos, the Never Trumpers, fear him more than anybody else.

We have a very good team.

I mean, you've got a lot of people.

You've got DeSantis and others right behind him.

But DeSantis is 43 years old.

You've got others.

But, you know, when you look at his presidency, it was an enormously effective presidency.

You know, you and I backed Ty Cruz early on, and then after the nomination, we supported Donald Trump.

And Donald Trump has been a far more conservative president than either of the Bushes,

than either than the Rhinos would ever want him to be.

And I've come to really like the man personally.

You've met him.

He's very charismatic.

He's a very nice man.

He's a very kind man.

They'll never show you that side of him because they attack, attack, attack.

The thing is, and everybody knows it, look what they did with the FBI, the FISA court, the intelligence agency, these criminal investigations.

We have never seen anything like this before.

And now the big lie, January 6th, I can tell you they don't want to talk about what happened in the 2020 election.

You're only allowed to talk about what they want you to talk about.

We'll talk about whatever the hell we want to.

And I can tell you.

I have to tell you, Mark.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

No, go ahead.

I'm rambling, I know.

But even putting aside the ballots and the machines, I can tell you in Pennsylvania, they violated the federal constitution.

And my wife was involved in that litigation.

They violated the federal constitution.

We stood for the Constitution of the United States.

These Democrats, their lawyers were all over the country, particularly in these battleground states, changing the rules through their Democrat-elected judges, through their Democrat governors, overturning what Republican state legislatures were doing, which is a violation of the federal constitution, in order to set the groundwork for Biden.

And we're not even allowed to talk about it.

And so when these Republican legislatures, 19 of them so far, have said,

we're going to fix this, not to change the outcome of elections, but to get them back where they can actually be monitored.

Jim Crow and all the rest.

I mean,

tens of millions of people, they are sick of this.

They are fed up with it.

The drama that the press creates and the Democrat Party creates.

These are the same people who have lied to us over and over again about everything.

By the way, I love it.

Mark Levin.

Mark Levin, thanks for calling in, man.

I really appreciate it.

By the way, watch my special.

I think you have a subscription to Blaze TV.

Watch the interview I did with Donald Trump about halfway through.

I asked him about cleaning out all of the agencies and shutting down the Department of Ed.

It's really telling.

You should really listen to that because I think that's what needs to be done.

All these things just need to be cleaned out or shut down.

Mark, last thing.

Congratulations on the number one book of the year.

I don't know of a conservative that has ever done that.

I couldn't be happier for you.

Tremendous book, and thank you, thank you.

And you were a big help, and it is a great honor.

And I want to thank you for all you do with this country, too, man.

Really, you're just terrific.

So, you have a good day.

Same with Stu.

All right.

You too.

God bless you.

God bless you.

Thanks.

Mark Levin.

Back in

just

a second.

First, who's our commercial sponsor here?

Sorry.

It's Relief Factor.

Relief Factor has been helping me for years now.

Oh, I can't wait to tell you about the painting.

Did you see what happened on MSNBC?

Because of the interview that I did with Donald Trump,

and I did part of it in my house.

And that painting that I talked to you about last Monday of

the Joe Lewis fight, MSNBC was like, what is that?

Nazi propaganda.

I can't wait to take that apart.

But I couldn't paint my Nazi propaganda before I started taking Relief Factor.

I couldn't hold a paintbrush in my hands.

It was horrible.

Absolutely horrible.

Relief Factor gave me my life back.

I probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Relief Factor because I just couldn't deal with it every day and deal with all of the stuff in America.

So, Relief Factor, if you have pain and you just have tried everything, please try this.

Right now, you can get their three-week quick start trial for $19.95.

This is the Glenn Back program.

It was nice of Mark Levin to call in.

Cool.

You know, I guess he called in because I was wearing some of his merch, really nice sweatshirt.

I love this sweatshirt.

It says Levin on it.

That's cool.

But I got it.

I got it as soon as we merged.

And the Blaze became Blaze TV, and CR-TV became Blaze TV.

And I wear it quite often.

I didn't, I mean, it's nice of Mark to be watching.

And if this works, Monday I'm wearing a Joe Rogan t-shirt.

I got to say, too, you mentioned this right at the end of the interview.

It is impossible to overstate how successful that book was.

It is.

It was the number one book in the country.

And

just listen to that.

Say that again.

You don't understand.

Above all other, the best-selling book, not the best-selling

political book.

Right.

The best-selling book in America last year was Mark Levin's.

Yeah, and it was, you know, he did it entirely without any mainstream media support.

Like,

he didn't go to the middle.

Do the today show about this book.

I know.

He did it all on just.

Go ahead.

I know you helped an awful lot with that clutch.

No, I didn't.

No, I didn't.

That is built entirely by him.

Yeah.

Now, listen, what won't be the best-selling book of all this year, my book, comes out next week.

It's the Great Reset.

Order now.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of night.

Stand up straight and hold the

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenfact program.

Well, it's a great surprise earlier in the program to have Mark Levin just phone in because I'm wearing one of his sweatshirts and he was watching the plays and he's like, hey dude, I just wanted to say great taste in clothing today.

But I had him on and so it's kind of screwed up the whole schedule, but it's been a good screw up.

We have today Michael Malice.

We also have Stuart Scheller.

He was the guy who came out and said right after Afghanistan, we need some answers.

You know what he went through.

He went through, they tried to, they put him in jail.

They wanted to put him in prison.

He is free now and free to speak and he's going to be on the show here in about half an hour because i had to move him because of mark and we have michael malice on and bill o'reilly in 60 seconds

all right let's talk a little bit about uh Let's talk a little bit about Rough Greens.

Tanya and I were talking about President Miles.

President Miles is Stu's dog, Miles.

We call him President Miles because he's still younger than the president.

He's 17 in dog years.

No, 17.

And then add that to dog years.

So he is

about 25 years younger than President Obama.

Or President Biden.

And yeah, and

he's also sleeping 22 hours, which means he's awake more than.

President Biden.

Yeah,

we put his bed right in front of the fireplace, and we've been calling them their kind of fireplace chats, where he just kind of goes over there and he lays down, and then like two seconds in, he just conchs out and falls asleep, just like the president's press conferences.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

Have we thought about putting rough greens on the president's food?

That's a great point.

He needs his vitamins and minerals.

He does.

He might, if they sprinkle some rough greens on his food, he might be active

a little more, you know, of the day.

He might be awake more.

Yeah.

Rough greens is not a dog food, but something something you put on the dog's food, gives them all the vitamins and minerals that they need.

It is really tremendous stuff.

It's worked wonders

in

Stu's household with President Miles and his other.

What's your other dog's name?

Piper.

Piper.

A little golden retriever.

A big golden retriever, actually, at this point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like Piper, just don't like Piper's name.

But then, what am I going to say?

My dog's name is Uno, so what do I know?

They're great for your dog.

Just try it.

You get a free bag right now if you just call 1-833-GLEN33, 1-833-GLN33 or roughgreens.com.

Get a free bag right now.

Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

All right, Mr.

Bill O'Reilly is with us now.

Hello, Bill.

How is your holiday, sir?

Oh, you're talking to me?

You're talking to me, Bill?

Unless I have another Bill on.

I don't know.

You got 55,000 people on the show.

I got a sweatshirt.

I got a sweatshirt.

Okay?

Do you?

My sender, will you wear it?

Okay, I know I'm going to have to send it to extra, extra, extra large, but I'll get it.

I'll get it.

Whoa.

That's obviously a fat joke.

Here I am, possibly on my deathbed, possibly on my deathbed with a bout of COVID.

And I'm still in here slugging away for America.

And you come with a fat joke.

You know,

deeply.

I feel your pain, even though I don't have COVID because I don't go out of the basement.

I live in the basement.

And I'm not going out.

I'm not going out for another two years.

But I feel your pain back.

So I hope you get better.

I will tell you this.

Look, I had COVID before there was a vaccine, so I've been on the natural antibodies.

And I just had an antibody test a couple of weeks ago.

And I have it now.

Again, this is the second time but honestly i it's really not that big of a deal it wiped me out the first time for about three weeks i've had it since wednesday and i'm already on the rebound and i can't get any you know can't get any kind of therapeutics because we either don't have any uh or they can't come to texas or my doctors are too afraid because the the um uh the medical association is is manhandling all of our doctors so but I'm making it, Bill.

I'm making it.

I'm glad to hear that, Beck.

But I'm sorry that your antibodies betrayed you.

But I only have one question.

I think your listeners have this question, too.

Do you like hang out with COVID-infected people?

Do you like go to a club and we all have COVID?

Is that

twice?

Twice?

Are you kidding me?

I had it before there was a vaccine.

It's not.

I had it before there was a vaccine.

And so I got it early.

Can I make a suggestion?

After you're better, which will be soon, I think you should walk around carrying a little bell like they used to do with leprosy.

And wherever you are, just ring the bell so people know, oh, there he comes.

Here's Typhoid Beck.

Bill, I just did an interview with Donald Trump.

It aired yesterday.

He was exceptional.

He wasn't wallowing in the past, wasn't really talking about the past.

I got in all kinds of heat for it because I didn't ask him a January 6th question.

You know, I asked him things that I think the average person care about.

Gas prices, inflation,

communists in every department.

Anyway, but

I was really impressed, and I was left without a shadow of a doubt that he intends on running.

Oh, and now with the attack yesterday by Biden, it's really personal now.

See,

if you do that to Donald Trump, if you go out of your your way to try to humiliate him and marginalize him, which is exactly what Biden did for his whole speech yesterday, and people should really understand what that was about.

It wasn't about bringing the nation together and saying, hey,

all sane people realize we cannot have this ever again.

Everybody should condemn it.

No, it was, he did it.

Look at him.

He did it.

So what good does that do?

We all know that Biden and and the Democratic Party believe that Donald Trump instigated and encouraged the riot on January 6th.

Everyone knows that.

So, to do a national worldwide address and just repeat that again with no advancement of,

hey, you know, maybe this is a good lesson that we can't be Kazakhstan because that's what they're doing this week,

and that we have to solve our problems in a better way.

No, none of that.

It was take Trump off the board for 2024.

That's what it was about.

There is also another attack that is mounting now.

Somebody that was Melania's PR person.

Yeah.

I know.

Tell me about this.

This attack is amazing.

Yeah.

When this woman was hired, I never met her.

I don't know her.

But

I went, whoa,

you know,

why are you doing this?

Now, Melania, I know this to be true,

very close friends with this woman.

Very, very tight.

And she wanted this Grisham in the White House to be her spokesperson.

And then for a little while at the end, she went over to Trump to be in that communications office.

But

think that whether she, what she says, I don't know.

I mean, I'm not reading her book.

It's a hatchet book.

It's like Mary Trump, they want to make money, bashing Trump.

Wow.

Okay.

So I don't really care what she says.

But the sense of betrayal here, when you're that tight with somebody as she was with Melania Trump, when you're invited to work for the White House, which is an honor, no matter who's in there, and then you turn around and you try to destroy them.

Oh boy.

You know, people should really start to walk away from this kind of stuff.

You know, and what people don't understand is Jonathan Haidt did a great book.

Stu, what was the name of this book?

Came out about five years ago.

The Righteous Mind.

The Righteous Mind.

And he laid out the

things that we have in common

but are shifted.

And

we all have loyalty in common.

We appreciate loyalty.

But it is at the bottom of the list for Democrats.

And at the top, it's the number one trait

that people look towards who are conservative.

That you say what you mean and you mean what you say and

you stand.

You're not a fair weather friend.

You have a little dignity.

You know, Beck,

I got to make an observation here.

Your

analysis and bringing that to the attention of your listeners is very important.

So maybe you should always have COVID.

You see, you're more cogent now.

Shut up.

You're more lucid now.

So who are the

what is the candidate that could because there's a lot of Republicans that I've talked to that say if he runs, it's going to be the same thing and they're going to do the same thing and everybody's going to be

right.

And everybody's going to be so tired of it, they're going to want another choice, and they just might might go with a Democrat.

And I cannot come up with a Democrat that

they'll stay home.

So the people who are fed up with Biden and Trump, and there are millions of them, will just stay home.

But independents will, I think, if things continue along

this line with the Biden administration failing on every level, and if they aren't failing on every level, please tell me what level they're succeeding on.

Correct.

I just

don't mind.

I'd like to hear where the success is.

But if we continue along these lines, it's going to be, okay,

who is going to do the least amount of damage?

I mean, that's what it's going to be.

You're always going to have Donald Trump's flamboyance, to use a kind word.

It's never going to go away.

And that's a decision I made.

And so this is personal for me.

So I said to myself, do I want to go out on a history tour with a controversial guy like Donald Trump where I know I'm going to get attacked?

And I did.

I mean, you know, but I can handle it.

Or do I just want to pass and just continue to do, I didn't need to do that tour.

But I decided to do it because I think, based upon the facts, that Trump did a good job in the four years representing the United States.

He did.

That's what my belief.

Now, do I like the way he handled himself sometimes?

No.

And I've told him that.

And I told him that he was sure.

The new poll shows independence, Biden has hit an all-time low.

24% approval rating.

Wow.

That's unheard of.

So

who is going to run against Donald Trump?

Well, everyone looks like Miriam.

You know, maybe Liz Cheney will run.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I mean, on the Democratic side.

That's not that.

Look, she's not going to win in Wyoming.

She's not going to be a congressperson anymore.

So she could absolutely primary Trump.

Big name.

She can raise money.

So that's not that crazy out.

But if the Republicans believe that Trump is not going to win, primary him.

So my question is, because I think he gets the nomination.

my question is, who do the Democrats run against him?

Because they're not going to run Biden.

I don't think so either, but they don't have anybody to run, so then you're going to fall back on Hillary Clinton, who's already raising money.

Amen.

I just said this last week.

Hillary Clinton is going to run again.

That's who he'll run against.

And she's already setting it up because she knows what a fiasco the Biden administration is.

Look, even if you loathe Hillary Clinton and Bill,

they have

a machine.

Okay?

They know how

to govern in a sense that it's not a disorganized mess.

It's not a Kamala Harris coming out and excoriating the Capitol protesters while she wanted to raise bail money for the people who were burning down cities.

I mean, that's just insane.

If you were writing her speech, would you really want to do that?

No.

Would you really want to bring attention to that?

No.

You could have avoided that and said, this is a bad thing.

Let's get the problem solved so we don't have to do this again.

That was a speech she should have gave.

But they have no awareness at all.

But the Clintons do.

And so it could be a setup between Trump and Hillary again.

That would be amazing.

All right.

Back in just a second.

More of Bill Bill O'Reilly.

I want to tell you a little bit about

Built Bar.

I have a New Year's resolution to lose weight, and hopefully, COVID is helping me a little bit, but probably not.

I have a really hard time losing weight,

mainly because I eat too much and I don't exercise at all.

But beyond that,

I still have a hard time losing weight, and I need every possible thing in my arsenal to fight because I have a sweet tooth.

Built bar is the re, it's a candy bar.

It really is.

I know it's a protein bar and it's low in carbs and low in sugar and

high in protein and all the things that you need, but it's made with real chocolate and I think they should be sold as candy bars that are good for you, not something good for you that also tastes like a candy bar because those never work out, at least for me.

I've never had something that was good for me and really delicious.

This is Built Bar.

Try them out right now and

accomplish your goal this year of losing weight.

Built.com.

Built.com.

Use the promo code BEC15, get 15% off your order.

I am going to accomplish my goal this year, and it's going to be partly due to Built.com and mostly self-control.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome back to the program, Bill O'Reilly.

What do you think the big story of the week is?

Was it January 6th?

Yeah, I mean,

I think that's the big story of the week, but it's going to die.

And, you know, they'll do all the Sunday shows.

You know what they'll do, reprise it and how terrible Trump is.

But if you really want to step back, the biggest story of the week was one million Americans contracting COVID or reporting it on Monday.

I mean, that is just an amazing number.

I think this is actually really good, Bill, because

I understand.

I mean, if it's

the African model, if the South African model holds that you'll have another few weeks of this, and then it'll fall off the cliff, and then so many people will have the antibodies, which, of course, turned on you,

that'll

die out.

And maybe some planes will get back in the air.

Yeah.

Use this COVID

consequences is amazing.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

But it's not really COVID consequences.

I think it is more of the government consequences.

We could get back to America in probably a few weeks here if they would stop

helping people stay home by giving them more money than they can make out in the private sector.

I agree 100% on that, and I know you and I have disagreed in the past, but

if you step back on this, the best thing for the government to do now, because they can't answer any questions, I mean, they can't even answer a question like, how long does does a vaccine last?

They can't even answer it.

So they don't have any information for us.

So just shut up.

You know, I told Stu a few weeks ago to do that, but now I'm going to take that back.

Stu can talk, but the federal government can't because they don't know anything about COVID.

You know, Anthony Fauci,

we should do the pinata thing with him.

He has to run through a long line and we just whack them with, you know, I don't want him hurt, but with paper or something because this is just a farce now.

It's crazy now.

And the fact that, you know, I have,

you know, there's really

no treatments that the government is recommending or pushing or not tearing down.

That's the key.

They're tearing down everything that is a treatment.

Well,

millions of Americans are getting it.

So what do we do besides isolate at home everything that is a possible treatment that I personally know people who have done other treatments once they've gotten it and it's helped them, the government is standing in the way of.

I mean, it is, it's so clear what this government is doing.

But it's almost over.

I think it's almost over.

I have to sit one out because I don't know.

I'm not a medical person.

The FDA is supposed to,

you know, say this stuff is safe.

I don't know.

What I do, my advice to everybody is get a doctor you trust, follow the doctor's advice, don't listen to the government.

I mean, you know, I'd have to give that advice to doctors now.

I'd have to give that advice to doctors now because doctors,

a lot of doctors are not able to do the things that they truly believe in and have seen work.

But they're terribly different.

Does your doctor have a solution to you?

I mean, do they recommend therapeutics for you?

Yeah, absolutely.

My doctor got me through the first case.

I think it would have been even worse than it was.

He got me through the first case.

But now, any of the other therapeutics, he is, he's like,

if I ride it, he said, I've already been threatened.

I think it's because he's my doctor.

He said, I've already been threatened that, you know, don't go off the beaten path.

It's awful.

It is awful.

And there are a lot of doctors that feel that way.

All right, Bill Rider.

Thank you so much for being on.

I'm sorry to cut you loose early this week, but we had a shift in the schedule because of a call with Mark Levin.

But thanks a lot.

We'll talk to you again next week.

Bill O'Reilly, make sure you follow him on billo'reilly.com.

It's no spin zone on every day.

BillO'Reilly.com.

Back in a minute.

The Glenn Back Program.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Relief Factor.

Relief Factor, Stu, please make sure we get in sometime the MSNBC garbage about how I am a Nazi that came out yesterday.

Oh, that'll be a lot of fun.

That's Nazi propaganda.

It is so, it's delightful.

I can't wait to dig into that.

But Relief Factor has helped me engage in Nazi propaganda.

They were talking about this painting that was behind me during the Trump special.

They called it a picture, so thanks for the

shout-out that you can't tell that it was a painting of mine and not a photograph.

Thank you for that, MSNBC.

But

I couldn't hold a paintbrush in my hand three years ago.

Couldn't do it.

Now I'm painting up a storm because of Relief Factor.

If you're in pain, please try this.

Just try it.

Try their three-week quick start trial pack, $19.95.

It's a dollar a day.

Try it now.

Head over to BlazeTV.com/slash Glenn.

Promo code is Glenn to save 10 bucks off your subscription.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Our sincere apologies to a guest that we had booked, and we've had him booked for a while.

We had a mix-up earlier today, not a mix-up.

I just took a phone call

from

Mark Levin

and missed the call with the guy who

had,

I really want to hear his story, was thrown into prison, thrown into jail, and wanted to be in prison.

They wanted him in prison, tried to dishonorably discharge him from his service.

He was the guy who came out and talked about,

we just want some answers from the Pentagon.

We want somebody's head to roll for

what's been going on in Afghanistan.

You remember it quite well.

He was going to be on with us today.

He has been honorably discharged or given a general discharge, and he's not going to jail.

We wanted to talk to him, but now our schedules are conflicting, and so he couldn't make it at this time.

Hope to book him again next week.

Next week, though, is going to be a very, very busy week because we are on the great reset.

My new book comes out next week.

If you want to make sure you get a copy, I urge you to order it now.

The first run, we ran an awful lot of them.

This is the first time that we are publishing it ourself.

We are using

a secondary to help distribute because we don't have the distribution arm at this point.

But Mercury Inc.,

we are doing it ourself

instead of going through a publisher and Simon Schuster.

And I am free now to write whatever I want when I I want.

I was under contract with Simon and Schuster, and I can't tell you how glad I am.

They were great partners for us for a long time, and then a Hillary Clinton guy got in and is running it, and he was just, I thought, a very bad partner for us.

And because of that, we were probably very bad partners for them.

But I'm glad to be now in an era and have the ability

to run our own publishing company and to be able to bring you the things we want to bring you at the quality we want.

The Great Reset is something that was probably the hardest book we've had to write because the information when we started was dribs and drabs and here and there.

And as we got into it deeper and deeper, we saw how much of it has already been done, where the foundation is.

It is the biggest story in the world because this is not just about America.

This is about the entire West.

And I believe this is the biggest story for human civilization, perhaps in a hundred years.

And no one is really talking about it.

And there's a bunch of conspiracy theories that could take you offline.

These are the facts.

It is loaded with footnotes, so you can go and verify everything.

I always tell you, do not take my word for it.

Verify it yourself.

That's why there's all kinds of footnotes from the original sources.

But this is critical that we understand and we share with one another this information because we are the last line of defense.

We have to be able to share this information.

And if you are listening to us overseas, if you are listening to us anywhere in the world, I urge you to get the great reset.

This is not an American story, but people in England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Africa, even Asia need to understand.

And all of the prime ministers, all of the presidents around are, they ran on the same horrible slogan that Joe Biden ran on, which is build back better.

That is the great reset.

And it is not a conspiracy theory.

And it will change every aspect of your life.

That is not hyperbole.

And if you don't don't stop it now,

by 2030, it will be done.

I fear that it could be done in the next 12 months if we hit another massive crisis.

And the great reset people, the Davos people, the World Economic Forum, just held a conference on December 6th on how they're going to deal with a global economic collapse.

And

it's all great reset.

It's all great reset.

Please pick up my new book, The Great Reset.

Please also, if you order it online, make sure you're ordering the right book.

This is for the first time in my career this is happening.

There are dummy books called The Summary of The Great Reset with Glenn Beck.

There's no way anyone could have written a summary because

the book hasn't even been released.

Do not be fooled.

Make sure you click on the Great Reset by Glenn Beck, period.

It's a Mercury Inc.

book.

Okay, we'll have more on that next week.

You need to pop on maybe Chris Hayes to do a little promotion for the book next week, maybe?

Or what's your plan on that?

I don't know.

I think he's done a really good job of promoting my art and my art skills.

He is.

This is a great story because Chris Hayes, the MSNBC host, who, you know, I've heard various things about Chris Hayes and that, like, maybe he's

kind of a sane member of the left.

You know, I've heard people that we liked say that, you know, he's much more sane on his show and podcasts than he is on Twitter.

I don't know if that's accurate or not.

I don't know him very well.

I don't know him at all.

Yeah, so

he tweets.

I guess he saw a clip of you doing the Trump interview.

And you had the way that Trump interview worked for whatever it's worth behind the scenes, you had taped the interview in December before the holidays, and we're planning to be the first interview to come out

on your podcast where you do weekly interviews, and you're going to release that the first week of the new year.

Now, of course, you got sick and were unable to kind of do the full show around it that you wanted to, but you had recorded a couple of like lines to introduce the interview, basically.

In those few lines where you were saying that you were sick, in the background is your Joe Lewis painting, Joe Lewis Max Schmeling painting.

We talked about it earlier this week.

For a completely different reason.

Completely different reason.

So it's just in the background of

the picture.

So

Chris Hayes apparently sees this and without doing one second of research, without questioning his initial instinct at all, goes out and tweets,

is that a picture of Nazi darling Max Schmeling knocking out Joe Lewis on his wall?

That's kind of a weird thing to have up.

Exclamation point.

And he links to the painting of Max Schmelling.

Now,

and he also responds to someone else and says, that's a hell of a choice to put on your wall.

The implication basically being that you are putting Nazi propaganda in your house because you secretly love Nazis, and I guess we're caught on camera.

Or maybe, who knows, promoting to the conservative audience how much you love Nazis because all conservatives are Nazis.

Now,

with any effort at all, all,

this supposed journalist could have easily just Googled, you know, Glenn Beck, Joe Lewis, Max Schmelling, and seen the segment that we had.

When does it come up?

Does it come up?

I didn't Google it.

I know for a fact the video is on there.

But I mean,

let me not even go to that first.

Let me start here.

Okay.

It's amazing to me.

That his assumption would initially be,

oh, I don't know, Glenn Beck must love the Nazis, right?

It's not, there must be a story to why

you would have Max Schmelling knocking out Joe Lewis on his wall.

There's got to be a story.

How do I find out what that story is?

If I tweet something, I'll look like an idiot if there's a story that explains it, right?

That would be my...

My thought.

Like, if I saw a left-wing personality, Chris Hayes, in the background, he's got a giant, wonderful painting of Joseph Stalin, I might think to myself, you know, that's kind of a weird thing to have on your wall.

But I would immediately think, what if I don't know the story?

I better Google it to see if I can figure out why he has a Joseph Stalin painting on his wall.

So he does not bother to do that.

He just tweets without thinking, without a second of thought about it, without a second of research about it.

And, of course, doesn't look for the fact that you did a segment on national radio just two days earlier explaining exactly what the painting is.

And of course, the painting, if you didn't hear that segment, let me give you.

It's called The Birth of a Champion.

The birth of a champion.

This is exactly what you said on national radio and television just two days before this.

It's only when you,

it's called the birth of a champion.

It's only when you've been knocked down and counted out and received rightly deserved humiliation.

Do you stand up and you never make that mistake again?

Schmeling came back.

They had another fight.

This time, Joe Lewis took him seriously.

He was prepared.

He knocked him out in less than 90 seconds.

That's the birth of a champion.

That was your explanation as to why you painted this painting.

And it's a pretty, I think, not only a normal conservative point to make, but a normal human being point to make, that a failure isn't always just a failure.

It's sometimes the most important part of a success.

That's the entire thing.

You explain that at length on national media just a couple of days beforehand.

Yet, we have a a guy who not only doesn't bother to look for the information, but also just assumes because his political opponent likes lower taxes than he does, I guess he's a Nazi supporter in secret.

If that's not a good microcosm, what is wrong with our country right now?

I don't know what is.

Well, it also shows a lack of knowledge.

By the way, I did Google it and it does come up.

Okay.

The explanation comes up.

It comes up from about two years ago when I was painting it.

And it comes up with me talking to

a

civil rights icon.

You have to Google it.

Oh, wow.

Civil rights icon I'm explaining this to.

But anyway,

what it also shows is a lack of understanding.

Why would somebody have Mac Schmeling on their wall?

This is not the reason why I have him by any stretch of the imagination.

Mac Schmelling actually became friends with Joe Lewis.

I don't know if people know that.

He also hid Jewish people in his apartment

against the Nazis.

When he lost to Joe Lewis the second time, they became friends.

And

he was not a friend of

Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler used him for propaganda, not a friend of Adolf Hitler.

In fact, it turns out he was an enemy of Adolf Hitler.

So it turns out I have

three, assuming that the ref was anti-Nazi, three anti-Nazis in that painting.

But I want to thank Chris Hayes for making that painting now a source of controversy, so it would sell for more if I decide to ever sell it.

It now is a famous controversial painting.

I also would like to thank everybody involved.

I was trending last night.

This painting was trending last night on Twitter.

And I'd like to thank all of them for increasing the value.

And none of them questioning what hack painted it.

Most of them said it was a picture.

It's not.

It's my painting of that scene.

But

I guess everybody, you know, everybody loves to be an art critic.

Nobody had any criticism for the artistic prowess of the artist that did it.

So thank you for that, Chris Hayes.

Amazing.

By the way, I did Google it, and you're right.

It

comes up with you explaining the painting.

This is from eight months ago.

You explaining exactly what it is.

Also, the clip of you this week comes up when you search for it.

And it's like, what does that say about, wouldn't you just, isn't there a moment of embarrassment?

This is what I don't understand about some of these people on the left.

Isn't there a moment where you just just feel dumb when you do something like that?

Yeah, we do.

I know, I do.

I mean, everybody's made mistakes like that.

I don't expect Chris Hayes to be able to watch every segment of your show and know.

Especially.

But when there's ever something that is so outrageous, like if he had Stalin, you were just saying, if he had Stalin behind him, I would go...

There's something more than that.

There's no way to start Stalin behind him.

What's the story?

And I always feel stupid when I do stuff, and I always point it out when I do stuff like that.

We'll see if Chris Hayes is

a decent human being at all,

you know, and decides to correct himself and apologize to me to assume that I would have Nazi propaganda for a Nazi reason.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It is My Pillow.

Amazing news.

You're just a just a tiny bit of typing and a mouse clip click away from having the best night's sleep you're ever going to get.

I've talked about MyPillow, talked about all of their products.

Their pillows are tremendous.

I got the large, but I'm, you know, muscularly obese.

And

all you do is you put two fists through the end of it.

I don't know how it works, but it stays fluffy and not hot all night.

So you're not waking and tossing and turning all night.

The best thing also is their dream sheets.

They have Giza dream sheets.

Gaza dream sheets will blow your mind.

The Giza dream sheets are very, very soft.

The Giza Dream Sheets now are on special.

It's two for one.

It makes them unbelievably reasonable for, honestly, the best sheets I've ever slept on.

That is not hyperbole.

That is not in the copy points I'm supposed to say.

That is how I really feel.

We're really glad you're here.

I think I have about exhausted my voice today, but I have Michael Malis on next.

I also have somebody who is great.

Stu, you had on

last night

talking about

January 6th and just taking it apart piece by piece.

Ben Weiergarten?

Was it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I had him on last night.

They did a really interesting thing over there at Real Clear Investigations where, you know, I think a lot of conservatives have made this point and said, like, you know, what's worse, January 6th or

the George Floyd riots?

And they're different events, but I think, you know, really both bad.

And why don't we treat them both like they were really bad things?

And how do we compare them?

How do we understand them?

Well, they went through and did all the background research and decided to find out the scale of both of these events as well as some others to try to compare so we can have some sort of understanding as to which

which situation was bigger bigger effect to the country it's pretty amazing stuff

we have that coming up do not miss a second of today's program this is the glenn back program

Oh oh, oh.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together.

It's the corner survived

stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenback program.

Today, this last hour is going to challenge everything you think you know.

Two great people going to join us this half hour.

One is Benjamin Weingarten, a good friend of ours and from Real Clear Investigations.

He has looked at all of the worst things, 9-11, Pearl Harbor, and he's compared them, you know, the stat for stats on how they've changed things in America.

Oh, I think it's, I think that January 6th doesn't even rank, but we'll get that coming up in a minute.

And a good friend, somebody I disagree with a lot, but is so challenging to your thinking, it is always a fun exercise.

And honestly, he's just hysterically funny.

Michael Malice joins us in 60 seconds.

All right.

Let's talk a little bit about our...

Stuke, can you do these?

Because I am about to lose my voice.

Yeah, no, we're going to talk to you a little bit about Patriot Mobile.

This is a company we love because you're talking about a company that has stepped up in ways that many others have not.

And

if you have a big time,

these companies that come out and they say, oh, we are the best.

We are the biggest.

We care about you.

The big name mobile companies.

You have one of those and they're likely donating part of the money you're sending them every month to causes that you completely disagree with.

And you have to wonder and ask yourself, why am I doing that?

Do I want that to keep happening?

They are

on the same towers as Patriot Mobile.

The service is as good or better with Patriot Mobile.

And Patriot Mobile says, you know what?

We're going to donate a portion of

the money we take in for the bill to conservative causes.

Conservative causes.

They're admitting it.

Everyone else runs from conservatives.

Like they can't, they don't want to be associated with them.

Patriot Mobile is saying, This is who we are.

We are going to try to stop these things that are happening in our country that you don't agree with.

Why fund them when you can help stop them?

Michael Malis joining us.

Before I get there, I just want to say,

because last night the painting that I did of Joe Lewis being knocked out by Max

Schmelling called,

that I call it, the birth of a champion,

was trending last night because it was on during an interview with

Donald Trump and they're calling it Nazi propaganda.

It couldn't be further from the truth.

I've said that I'm not going to sell this.

There is one person I would sell this to.

I would sell it to Joe Rogan because he would appreciate the

message in this.

If Joe wants to buy it, great.

Otherwise, I'm keeping the original.

But I am going to today, I'm asking somebody to come over

with a mask and gloves and get it and copy it because I am going to sell prints of this

because

it's, you know, that controversial Nazi painting by Glenn Beck, which has nothing to do with that.

It has everything to do with learn your lesson, stand back up, and knock that guy out.

All right, Michael Malice is with us.

Hi, Michael.

Good morning.

How are you, sir?

I'm much better than you.

My condolences on your illness.

And whatever you think, I promise you, it's not karma.

It might be.

It might be.

Oh, you know, I had it before there was a vaccine, so I've been riding on the antibodies.

And I just got it, what, Wednesday.

I just, it hit me like a bag of bricks.

But now, with an exception of just some lingering mouth problems with my voice, I'm pretty much past it.

I mean, it...

The first time I had it, it knocked me out for about three weeks.

This is just like a really, really bad cold this time.

Yeah, two months

got it over the weekend.

And

it's a scary word.

You know, like I was feeling a little bit on the weather last week.

And I'm like, is this it?

Is this, you know, is this showtime?

And it was just kind of allergies, whatever, but it's scary.

And I hope everyone listening, you know, stays healthy and happy, of course.

Michael, I don't know if you heard this,

Glenn talking about the backstory of this painting that he did of Joe Lewis and Max Schmelling and this reaction from Chris Hayes of MSNBC and, to be fair, tons of other people on the left.

They see this painting in the background of one of his interviews.

They say, oh my gosh, he's got Nazi propaganda up there because this is when Max Schmelling had beaten Joe Lewis.

And any simple Googling gets you to the explanation as to what this painting is, that Glenn's praising, you know, like you have a failure and that turns your life around.

And that's the important moment when you fail that leads to success in the future.

And, you know, you've talked about the media really well over the years, and you, I think, understand this better than so many others.

What is the motivation here?

Like, why would you embarrass yourself and not even look for the facts here?

Why just attack your opponents

without any knowledge, whether you're running?

Literally, with

a Google search.

I'm going to give you two answers.

First, I'm going to play devil's advocate because I think you guys remember it was like a year ago when former Senate candidate Harold Ford was staring at an Airbnb, and behind him on the wall was Andy Warhol's painting of Chairman Mao.

And Warhol meant it as a finger to Mao, as an example of how Mao had become a quote-unquote celebrity in the same way that Warhol has painted Elizabeth Taylor and Mal Monroe.

And all the conservatives were freaking out that this was communist propaganda, even though it wasn't his house, and even though it would have been simple googling.

So that's number one.

So this goes, people misunderstand art very easily.

The whole point of art is that it's open to interpretation.

And the other problem is people who are corporate journalists are often not very bright.

So they are going to have that knee-jerk reaction.

But as you guys have seen, as everyone listening to this knows,

the demand for Nazis outweighs the supply.

There is such desperation

on the part of

corporate media outlets to find Nazis that they're looking for them everywhere to the point where people are often painting

fascist slogans to demonstrate that there's fascism.

And they're later caught caught and they're often, you know,

minorities.

People are minorities.

You're saying this is Nazi inflation.

Too many Nazi hunters chasing too few Nazis.

I mean, we laugh, but I mean, it would be a very serious problem.

And it's not to pretend that there are no, you know, quasi-fascists in American culture, certainly in Europe nowadays.

But the premise that Glenn Beck would be dumb enough to sit in front of a Nazi painting while he's interviewing a president and have that be some kind of subtle dog whistle that no one's going to pick up.

That is what's amazing.

They have a complete lack of ability to empathize with other perspectives, and they're just waiting in every moment for the mask to drop, so to speak, which is kind of a bit of projection.

And you saw this also with

Trump's Charlottesville speech, where when he condemned white nationalists in the same breath, when he said both sides, the clip is there.

It's indisputable.

But President Biden brings it up to this day.

So what is your take on dangerous?

I think that's the biggest story of the week.

You're cutting out a little bit there, Michael, but he said what's your take on January 6th that that didn't come through?

Oh, yeah.

So

I mean, it's very tragic.

AOC had to talk to a cop for five minutes, and she was traumatized for months.

Rashida Taleib, remember, was crying on the floor floor of the house.

AOC had to comfort her.

There were some bottles of water knocked over.

Someone had to speed up on Pelosi's death.

Here's my takeaway, and I'm going to get a little bit serious for a minute.

Where has President Trump been?

He defended the people when he was giving that Charlottesville speech.

The people, when he said there's good people on both sides, he was referring to the controversy about removing statues.

That's what he was defending.

The people who were saying we shouldn't remove statues.

The people on January 6th were his people.

They were all his people.

These were his hardcore supporters.

Now they're being held in detention in horrible conditions for who knows how long.

They are his hardcore supporters, and he shrugs his shoulders.

And I think this is the big problem that conservatives have to appreciate when it comes to Donald Trump.

We had four years.

of President Trump being attacked for the most demented things imaginable, including how many scoops of ice cream he had, that he fed the fish wrong when he was in Japan, even though he's following the prime minister's lead.

Queen Elizabeth gestured for him to walk in front of her, which he did.

Then she couldn't get around him because he's a lot bigger.

They cropped the first part where she gestured, so it looks like he just stood in front of her like a buffoon.

So we had four years of that.

So understandably, conservatives got protective and defensive of President Trump.

He's not in office now.

It's been a year.

And I would encourage conservatives to take a step back and realize not every criticism of President Trump has been inaccurate because the man has shown a severe lack of loyalty towards people who have been loyal to him.

And I'm thinking specifically of Michael Flynn, and I'm thinking especially of Jeff Sessions, who was probably the strongest anti-illegal immigrant person in the Senate, became Attorney General.

Because of him, Trump got him primarily, and he blew a Senate seat in Alabama.

How does that happen?

So if people are looking forward to 2024, keep in mind, this guy's loyalty is a one-way street, and that's a big problem because conservatives tend to be very, very loyal people.

I agree with that.

We were just talking about how loyalty is number one.

I know you know the Jonathan Height book, but loyalty is number one on the scale.

And it's interesting because I do think that that is the number one thing with Donald Trump is loyalty.

And in talking to him, you know, I just sat down with him about a month ago, and then I had dinner with him and his wife.

And

I came away with the impression, and this is just from

the off-the-record, just dinner conversation, I came away from that meeting feeling as though

truly the main reason he would run again is because he doesn't want to let the people down that he trusted and said, I will do this, and then was doing it,

and then lost, and he knows he can fix it.

And he expressed it in several different ways, but it was the same thing.

I'm not going to leave those people without anyone who will fight for them.

Let's bring some receipts.

When President Trump got into office,

the federal budget was $4 trillion under Obama.

Two years later, before COVID, it was $4.4 trillion, an increase of 10%

under his watch.

He's promised when he campaigned, and this was a very legitimate promise for me, given his background, that he knew the best people and he was going to staff his cabinet with the best people.

And we thought he was going to bring in all these outsiders, people you'd never expect to see in politics.

And the next thing you know, it's Ren Prievis, and the chairman of Exxon is the Secretary of State.

His staffing decisions, I think everyone has to acknowledge, were horrible.

He's driving out people who have no mind like Steve Bannon, and he's bringing in the swamp creatures.

All right, so let me just push back on that and because I'd like to hear your opinion on it.

In the interview I did, I said, you got a clean house.

And

he talked about the,

you know, he had two jobs, to fix the country and to survive.

And he said,

I can't go in there with the same GOP.

I can't go in there with the same group of people.

I have to have people around me that are on the same page because pretty much I got to fire everybody in every department.

And I think he gets that.

I've talked to people who are inside the administration before and they said the one mistake that they made was they underestimated the power of all of these long-term bureaucrats and the Republican Party, that they would be so against him.

And

he's not going to repeat that.

Now, I don't know who he staffs it with and who he gets to have the balls to run some of these things, to fire or shut down these departments.

But that's what it's going to take, one way or another.

I'd love to hear your response.

Coming up in one minute, let me take one minute, 60 seconds,

to tell you about our sponsor

this half hour.

Who is it, Stu?

It is Gold Line.

Gold Line.

Yeah, Gold Line.

Thank Thank you.

We've been talking about the problems with inflation quite a bit over the past few weeks.

Goldline, you know, it's been around for a long time.

They've been doing this, you know, better than anybody for a really long time.

And, you know, the inflation, of course, is already here.

We've seen it.

I mean, you've talked about it, Glenn, from everywhere from cars to groceries.

I mean, it's all over the place.

And it's not transitory.

Right.

And Michael just talked about it.

I mean, you know, 10% increase on our national debt.

What is it now?

I mean, are we over $30 trillion yet?

I think we are, aren't we?

I mean, nobody's talking about our debt.

It is out of control, out of control.

And they're using modern monetary theory to get through this.

It won't work.

It never has worked.

And read in the Great Reset, my book that comes out next week.

It talks about what the second part of modern monetary theory is, and that's just controlling everything.

It's coming.

And the answer is

spread out your risk.

And one of the things you should invest in is gold or silver, because the world always, when it comes back to its senses from insanity, it always returns to physical gold.

If that's not enough reason for you to get moving, Goldline has an extremely small quantity of their holiday silver rounds and their special Mind Your Business silver bars left over from their Christmas promotion.

So if you don't know who Michael Malis is,

he is the guy who's written the anarchist handbook.

He is an anarchist, but not the Antifa throw bombs through windows kind of anarchist.

Am I right on that, Michael?

Please verify that.

Not through windows, but you know.

He believes that if there were no government,

we'd all be better off.

I disagree with that, but I lean towards,

in fact, I don't lean towards, I'd like to shut down all of the Department of Fill in the Blank.

I'd like them all to be gone.

They have no place in our in our in our government, in my opinion.

So Michael is coming from a different place, but I like that because he makes me think things through and pushes me up against the wall.

So I question the things that I think I believe.

I think that's really important.

So Michael, your response on what I just said here about a minute ago.

Right.

So you were talking about how President Trump said to you that he understands he has to fire a lot of these staffers and bring in good people.

My pushback would be like, does he understand this or does he understand what he needs to say to you in order to maintain your support in the next cycle?

And here's the evidence to the contrary.

There's something called revealed preferences, right?

If you tell your spouse, I love you, I love you, I love you, but you're never home and you're cheating on them, talk is cheap.

Your actions are telling.

Trump is launching a social media company.

Who did he hire to run the social media company?

Devin Devin Nunes.

Devin Noonan's entire background is being one, a dairy farmer and then a congressman.

What does he know about running a social media company?

All he knows is he has a Rolodex in Washington.

He's a creature of the swamp.

Now, he might be a great conservative.

I'm sure he's a very ethical, great person, so on and so forth.

But to say that he's some kind of outsider is nonsensical.

So Trump had the opportunity to, and the other thing is, and this is not his fault, he's been rendered so radioactive.

Why would I, if I was working in Wall Street, San Francisco, LA, New York, why would I want working on the Trump administration and my resume?

It would ruin my career.

And again, this is not Trump's fault at all, but that has been an issue for him in the past.

And going forward, it's going to be even more of an issue.

Yeah, I do agree with that.

It is going to be hard to get people.

And that is, you know, we have to have people who understand where we are in our society.

It is,

look, it's almost lights out time.

And,

you know, maybe we deserve it because we have taken this for granted for so long.

And we've been running on other generations' vapors for so long.

And we've become this monstrosity that is all run in Washington.

Maybe we deserve it, but I think the original premise is worth saving.

I don't know where he gets those people.

I mean, you know, you look at Devin Nunes, you see him as an insider.

I see him as an insider outsider.

You know what I mean?

He's a guy who's been there, who doesn't like the way it's running and has been standing up for it.

It's a little like Rand Paul.

Yes, he's in,

but he's working hard from within to try to

shut it down.

Are those people important or are they the same?

They're very important.

I'm not questioning that at all, but my point to you is, what evidence do you have that Devin Nunes knows anything about social media?

Now,

it runs.

So it's clear that Trump got him as he hires most of these people because of a sense of loyalty to him.

Now, that's very important because he's been betrayed left and right.

But my point is,

because of all the forces against him, conservatives have to appreciate he got beaten by a corpse.

in the 2020 election.

And these same forces are now even more powerful because they have the White House.

And you can't tell me that he shouldn't have seen it coming, all the machinations that the Democrats did in various states to finagle the vote to make sure they got the result they wanted.

There was that Time magazine article bragging about these coalitions that were behind the scenes.

Molly Hemingway did a great book called Rig discussing it.

It's nothing to do with voting machines.

It had to do with a year-long

series of attempts, including things like Mark Zuckerberg, to get the results.

I agree with you.

Michael Malice, thanks for stopping in.

Michael Malice, you can follow him at Michael Malice.

Back in a minute.

The Glenn Back Program.

All right, let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins, a series of books that I just think should be on every parent and grandparent's shelf.

Yeah, they're on my shelves

with our kids.

I have an eight and a ten-year-old.

I don't know what the exact age range is for the Tuttle Twins books.

I mean, really.

They go anywhere from anywhere from uh six to uh twelve probably and then they have things for teenagers and young adults as well yeah they're great because they don't come off as preachy you know as i know as a parent i i want my kids to be able to understand the foundations that the country was built on the you know the principles that we talk about every single day but they're not going to listen to me blabbing about them uh especially when they're

yeah exactly it just doesn't happen they don't do it with me either right it's just no kid wants to listen to their parents.

But Tuttle Twins books are great stories that have these principles kind of built into them.

It's a fantastic series of books.

They're having a great sale now, 35% discount off their books.

Plus, they're giving away the activity workbooks, no additional cost.

It's a big discount off the normal price.

Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, T-U-T-T-L-E-Twinsbeck.com to get the discount.

It's tuttletwinsbeck.com.

Keep your kids sane in a crazy socialist world.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I am about to lose my voice entirely, and I want to make sure that I'm full-throated for next week.

The new book comes out on the Great Reset.

But the biggest story this week had to be about the candlelight vigil they had

on the stairs of the Capitol last night, commemorating all those that,

well, no, because nobody died except

a Maureen that was on the opposing side.

So I don't know what the candles were lit for because they certainly were not highlighting her.

They are trying to make this into

another 1941 or 9-11, and it's despicable.

Yesterday on Stu's show, he had Benjamin Weingarten on, a very dear friend of ours and brilliant guy, who has done a little investigation into that claim.

Ben.

I don't think anybody can hear me.

We can hear you, but Ben might not be able to.

Ben, are you there?

Yep.

Yep, I'm here, guys.

Oh, okay, there he is.

Ben Weingarten is with us.

We kind of mentioned study here, Ben, talking about the differences between

the 2020 Floyd riots and the 2021 January 6th riot.

And it's a point that conservatives have made many times and that

there was no real focus on this.

In fact,

we saw it praised by the left, these riots that were going on.

And many times we pointed out there's a discrepancy here.

Why aren't these both being treated equally?

You went through and tried to quantify this.

Can you tell us about the process of putting all this together?

Yeah, the whole objective of this was to fill in the gap that the media and our political class has created in terms of their total inability and unwillingness to address what people saw with their own eyes and what the public wants to see, according to the polling, which is an equal investigation into what transpired in summer 2020, something that, of course, the Vice President of the United States herself drummed up support for bail funds, which effectively incentivized that behavior for, set that aside for a moment.

The public wanted to see, according to polling, equal scrutiny for those riots at the January 6th Capitol riot.

And since the political class and media wouldn't do it, we put together this chart basically comparing the size, scope, and nature of the political violence that transpired at the Capitol versus the summer 2020 riots so people could assess the gravity of the two in and of themselves and compare it to each other with their own eyes and make their own assessment as to whether the hyperbolic political rhetoric actually met the case based on the facts and the merits.

And then also we looked at the investigative and prosecutorial vigor associated with pursuing those who were culpable or accused in connection with crimes associated with these events.

And so we went through chapter and verse, federal government documents, law enforcement documents, court records, reporting from the most mainstream institutions, so that people could assess for themselves a couple major things.

One,

is the hyperbole reality?

And then number two, is there a double standard in the way these cases were prosecuted and investigated to the extent they even were?

And what we found were some really remarkable takeaways in terms of the contrast between these two cases of political violence.

Yeah, Ben, let's start with the scope of this because,

you know,

sure, there's a symbolism of the Capitol that I think is separate from these from one of these other incidents.

I will say, you also go through the 2017 inauguration riot, which people basically forget about, and show that that's much closer to the scale of the Capitol riot and has a lot of the same symbolism attached to it.

But kind of give me the difference in scale between these two events.

You have January 6th and the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Yeah, so the the headline numbers, I think, are these.

First, the summer 2020 riots resulted in 15 times more injured police officers, one of whom, of course, was killed, David Dorn, 23 times as many arrests, and estimated damages in dollar terms, and this is the most egregious or massive disparity here.

1,300 times more costly was the damage of the summer 2020 riots.

$1 to $2 billion in damages there versus approximately $1.5 million in an event that's compared to 9-11 Pearl Harbor the worst acts of the Civil War staggering differences there now you talk about the symbolism of what transpired and that's basically the the best case that's been made to try to marshal the idea that this event is somehow on the level but it really falls apart when you look at the casualties the fatalities the damage that was done and then you look at the what i would argue is an egregious double standard in justice here of cases being dismissed in mass up to 90 plus percent of citations or charges dropped dismissed or not filed in at least a dozen major jurisdictions across the country.

So all the low-level cases essentially gone, wiped clean.

In the case of the Capitol riot, where there have been 700 plus people hit with charges, the vast majority of which are misdemeanors, all of one case has been kicked.

And dozens of people have been held in pretrial detention for months on end.

Some of of them will spend over a year in jail before ever hearing their case in what have been alleged to be abusive conditions, with people held in solitary confinement for 20 plus hours.

And I think the big takeaway, one last point I'll make briefly, is a judge, the chief judge of the D.C.

District Court, where these cases are being heard, chastised the Biden Justice Department, its prosecutors, with a line, and I think this is a verbatim quote here, you're trying to resolve the crime of the century with Class B misdemeanors.

I think unintentionally that is the most telling line of the whole case, a case in which, of course, not one person has been hit with a charge of terrorism, insurrection, treason, sedition.

The political case, the political persecution does not match the legal prosecution.

Yeah, I think that's one of the big things that's interesting, because if it is this crime of the century, this is not how they would handle it.

And, you know, that's not to minimize it.

I think it's really about just getting scale and appropriate perspective on all of these events together.

It's not to say that January 6th was nothing.

It's just to say that

the summer of 2020 was also not nothing.

It was something that was really, really important in our country.

And in a way, I think went a good distance in normalizing political violence all over the place.

It created

a climate where we just kind of approve of this stuff and it seemed to be okay.

Half the country was saying, you know what, you can't really criticize it.

And that leads to January 6th types of events all around the country if you don't get it under control.

And then look at what the knock-on effects have been.

And to your point, it's not to minimize what happened.

It's to say, let's look at it openly and honestly so we can assess whether the fallout has been merited or not.

And the fallout of January 6th is remarkable.

I wrote a week after January 6th in the Federalist that this was going to be used as a catalyzing event to try to cast up to half the country or more as being terrorists or their co-conspirators, sympathizers, aiders, abettors, and use that to have a massive crackdown on dissent.

And we've seen that with the Biden administration using January 6th to create a national strategy for countering domestic terrorism, so-called, which has all sorts of issues around chilling, political dissent, censorship, colluding with big tech to try to crush people.

We've obviously seen that happen en masse over the last year.

We've seen people booted off of payment processing platforms, banks discriminating against people.

Of course, people being doxxed in their workplaces, harassed, ostracized, pushed out of public life to the point where anyone could be a Donald Trump in terms of the harassment, the ostracization, legal prosecution, in fact.

And I think those...

those being held in the DC jail, particularly those who spent months there, who have no criminal background, and are accused of essentially glorified glorified trespassing, parading, which I think might be the there may be more charges of that than any other charge than the ones that people have been hit with.

They stand as a living example, a living symbol of you could end up just like these people if you dare dissent from the ruling class orthodoxy.

And then you look at the knockdown effects of the summer 2020 riots, and it's been a massive surge in violent crime.

in cities across the country, and that disparity is also really worth mentioning.

We've seen a massive rise in violent crime and an effort to not police across the country with mass dismissal of cases in cities across the country.

And by contrast, every case and their mother is being pursued with respect to the Capitol riot, except, of course, these couple unindicted co-conspirators that we've read all about who, for whatever reason, are not being pursued.

You know, it's amazing, too, to see when you talk about After Effects, it's not like there's been a rush of

an increase in membership of QAnon since January 6th, right?

Like, it's gone the opposite way.

I think, you know, people realized a lot of that stuff was not true.

And, you know, the same thing with like some of these organizations like Proud Boys and everything else.

There hasn't been a rush for people to join those organizations.

On the other hand, the fallout from the 2020 George Floyd riots has been a massive increase in funding to the organizations who led the riots.

The people who were out there organizing the marches that led to

buildings being burned to the ground are now getting billions and billions of dollars a year in donations from large corporations.

That is not at all what has happened after January 6th, thankfully.

You know, this has turned into an industry where groups, companies as big as Nike are out there endorsing the same groups that were endorsing these riots.

It's been the ultimate social justice shakedown.

To your point, it's billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars, funding a woke anti-cultural revolution that's rolling through our country and that's now backed with the full power of the the federal government.

And to tie it all together, to put a nice, well, terrible bow on all of this, of course, we found out that the vigil organizer last night herself had been tied to threats against Josh Hawley's family on the eve of January 6th, as well as other acts of political violence that she and the group she's associated with have been tied to those left-wing acts of political violence.

So of course, that's the premier vigil organizer last night, so somber, so serious, so concerned about the state of our democracy, democracy, i.e., their power.

Absolutely incredible.

I encourage you to check out the work of Ben Weingarten for real clear investigations.

Because you also got to check out the 2017 inauguration riot.

We didn't have a chance to get to that here, but it's important to look at all of this stuff and how they compare.

And finally, somebody's gone through and done the hard work to put all this together.

Ben Weingarten, you can get his work.

I'll tweet it out as well at Studios America.

Tonight on Studios America, we'll have kind of an update on the situation with kids and how they're being affected by these COVID policies.

It's been really a devastating time for kids, and for some reason,

we as a country have decided: you know, what is a good idea?

We should put all of the burden on children without any of the benefit for children when it comes to these policies.

So even if these policies were to work, we've now decided as a nation, we're going to format our country as one that puts children in control of the health of adults.

We put them through all of these restrictions to protect older people.

And like, maybe there's some trade-off there we could handle, but the trade-off is much too high now.

We'll get into that a little bit later on tonight.

We're seeing right now in the Supreme Court, they are talking and doing oral arguments about the vaccine mandate, a couple of different ones.

One is the big Biden private business mandate where every company over 100 people would have to implement a vaccine mandate or test once a week and wear masks if you happen to be unvaccinated.

That's going to the Supreme Court, not for the full argument.

They're not trying to decide who wins and who loses.

They're talking about whether the policy can be in place while they figure out who wins and who loses.

But of course, this is a massive deal.

If they allow this to go into place

until

it winds

all the way through the system, you're going to have a situation where this policy is going to be put into effect by most large companies and be the state of affairs either way.

So this is really important.

It's going on right now.

And the arguments are interesting.

You know,

for example, Sodomayor

is saying that many kids are on ventilators from COVID.

Now, no one who knows anything about this situation believes that's accurate, which leads you to believe that Sonia Sotomayor, with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, knows nothing about the subject she's talking about.

It's not zero kids.

We obviously have seen some children have been affected, but generally speaking, and overwhelmingly so, you know, something like drowning is killing more people that are children than COVID is.

Also, Shota Mayor has said today that Omicron is as deadly as Delta.

Well, every single piece of information that we have says that it's not.

Every single study we have seen so far on Omicron says the opposite of that.

Which is fascinating.

It's not as deadly.

That doesn't mean it's not going to be a big deal.

It's more infectious, so more people will be hit with it, but they have less of a chance to die as individuals.

And she also asked this question, and I think today you may want to ponder this in a quiet moment.

She asked, quote, why is a human spewing a virus not like a machine spewing sparks?

A lot of times we tend to group the left side of the court together and just say the liberals on the court.

It's important to note that

Soda Mayor is.

She's a special one.

She.

She's really...

She's really dumb compared to everybody else sitting there.

Kagan might.

I might disagree with Kagan, but she seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

Soda Mayor just seems like a moron.

Triple-8727 back.
