What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This
is
the Glenback Program.
Yesterday,
the President of the United States had the balls to stand in
the Constitution Center that is built to
glorify our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and the Founding Fathers.
He brought all of his Democratic
and Marxist friends up there to talk about something that is unconstitutional, and that is to federalize our voting standards.
It's in the Constitution.
It must remain local.
Local.
Now, he says this is the worst thing ever.
This is Jim Crow on steroids.
Really?
Oh, I have a little history lesson in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck program.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Ann, she lives in Oklahoma.
She wrote a while back to talk about her experience with Relief Factor.
She said, it has changed my life, and that's the only thing I can say.
I've been exercising for years.
My shoulder is in bad, bad shape.
It was swelling.
It hurt.
It would go numb during the night.
I heard heard about relief factor glenn on your show and i've been listening to testimonies for about a couple of years now i decided i'm gonna order it because i needed the help i was sitting uh sitting up for five years to sleep i had to sleep sitting up How many people sleep in a chair or sleep in uncomfortable ways because of the pain?
She said, now I feel that I can sleep flat on my back.
Now that's where I am.
No trouble at all because the pain is gone.
Thank you so much for telling me about Relief Factor.
And you are more than welcome.
Get out of pain, get your life back, go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.
It's Relief Factor, 800-500-8384.
And now.
Letters from the Battlefront.
My gosh, these...
What's happening right now in America is we are seeing brave, brave people stand up.
I mean brave people.
People like James Tallarico.
He's a Democrat from Texas.
He was one of the brave people
that got onto that private jet and flew away.
from the great state of Texas.
He said in his letter from the battlefront, We just landed in Memphis on our way to D.C.
Thank y'all for well wishes.
Yes, we left behind our families, our livelihoods, our beloved Texas.
But our sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifices brave Americans have made throughout history to protect the sacred right to vote.
James Tellerico,
brave American.
Wow, I've got more of these letters from the battlefront coming up.
And oh, and we have a lot more on Texas Democrats on today's program.
Yeah.
I'm going to go insane.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
We have that and so much more on today's program.
I want to just talk a little bit about Joe Biden saying, this is the worst thing since a civil war.
Everything is the worst.
Have you noticed that?
It's never the best.
When we had Trump in, it's like the best in history.
Now, everything is the worst in history.
The
January 6th, it's never been like this.
We've never had attacks on the Capitol like this.
Well, except for the bomb exploding in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.,
that caused an estimated $300,000 in damage.
A group calling itself the Weather Underground claimed credit for the bombing, which was done in protest of the ongoing U.S.-supported Laos Invasion.
Oh, how many of us remember the Laos Invasion and how important that was.
The so-called Weathermen were a radical faction of the Students for Democratic Society.
The Weathermen advocated violent means to transform American society.
The philosophical foundations of the Weathermen were Marxist in nature.
They believed that a militant struggle was the key to striking out against the state to build a revolutionary consciousness among the young, particularly the white working class.
Their primary tool to achieving these ends were arson and bombing.
By the way, they also bombed the Long Island Courthouse, the New York Police Department headquarters, the Pentagon, and the State Department.
Don't worry, don't worry, that was happening in the 80s.
But who can even remember that far back?
I mean, I know I can't.
It's the worst since the Civil War.
And let me tell you something.
By the way,
somebody else went into the Capitol and burned it down.
It was called the War of 1812.
So I just want to let you know that.
When did that happen?
I'm not sure.
I don't have the dates exactly, but look it up.
It's somewhere in the War of 1812.
Let me also just give you
another time that we had real violence in Washington, D.C.
And that is when Preston Brooks,
you probably don't remember him.
I looked him up today.
I just wanted to make sure.
I had a hard time finding out what party he belonged to, but he was an American politician and a member of the U.S.
House of Representatives.
He came from South Carolina,
and he was a strong advocate of slavery and state rights.
So I just assumed, I later found out, yeah, he was a Democrat.
Total surprise to me.
Total surprise.
An outlier back then.
But he was an advocate of slavery and state rights.
He's remembered for his 1856 attack on the abolitionist, the guy who was trying to stand up against slavery.
And Republican senator Charles Sumner nearly beat him to death.
I don't need to go on to that story.
I've told you that story a million times, but it is that story that led him
and led us into the election of 1860 with Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War.
Now, after the Civil War, a few black people were elected to Congress.
In fact, the first black man, Hiram Rhodes, revels.
He arrived in the Capitol to take his seat as the first black member of the U.S.
Congress in 1870.
But But
the Democrats tried to block him from taking his seat.
And they said, you know, the Constitution requires senators to hold the citizenship for at least nine years.
And he just became a citizen in 1866 with the Civil Rights Act and 14th Amendment.
Before that, I mean, he wasn't a citizen.
He wasn't even a human.
You know what I'm saying?
That was the argument the Democrats made to try to stop the first black man
ever elected to Congress.
Now, it didn't go well, and there were a lot of black people that were elected.
I mean, just want to get a little history lesson here.
A lot of black people were elected.
This is a poster
that was out in the South.
It says, what happened when the Republican Party was in power in Alabama?
The above is a photograph of the Alabama legislature of 1872 when the Republican Party was in power of Alabama.
The Negroes in the above picture were members of the legislature.
I like the last one.
If you believe in white supremacy, vote the straight Democratic ticket on November 6th.
Hmm.
Yeah.
It's weird.
Now, I'm going someplace.
Oh my gosh, they've changed since then.
Have they?
Have they?
Have they?
So this is
a poster for the Democrats.
And Joe Biden was going on and on and on and on and on and on about how this is Jim Crow
on steroids.
So, you know,
what the Republicans are
standing for is in many ways more opportunity to vote than anyone ever has had legally in the United States.
Just not all the crazy crap that they said, oh, we're just doing this because of COVID.
Yeah, that's what they're standing against.
All right.
But that is Jim Crow on steroids.
Mr.
President,
I think you need an education on what Jim Crow was, what the Jim Crow laws did.
You see, before Jim Crow laws were enacted in the South, blacks were being elected.
Then what happened was there was this shortage of black people
in Congress.
It was so weird.
It was weird.
In fact, George White
had been the only
African American member of Congress since Reconstruction when he delivered this address.
And I want you to hear what he said.
This is his farewell address from Congress.
Now, Reconstruction happened.
Everybody,
blacks are populating all of the state
legislatures.
They're in Congress, they're in the Senate, and then after Reconstruction and the Democrats take over, they start little games.
Here's, let me just say, I want to enter a plea for the colored man, the colored woman, the colored boy, and the colored girl of this country.
This is a direct quote from the farewell address of George White.
I would thus not digress from the question at issue and detain the House in a discussion of interest of this particular people at this time, but for the constant and persistent efforts of certain gentlemen upon this floor to mold and
rivet public sentiment against us as a people and to lose no opportunity to hold up the unfortunate few who commit crimes and
depredations and lead lives of infamy and shame, as other races do, as fair specimens of the representatives of the entire colored race.
So, what is he saying here?
He's saying,
How dare you, some members of Congress, Congress, are actually holding up a few crazies and a few people who have done wrong and done things illegally and said, that's the entire race.
So that was what the Democrats were doing.
Now, they're not doing anything like that right now, are they?
They're not taking a few people who have broken the law or done things and then said, that's the entire race.
They haven't done that, have they?
They're completely different.
They've completely changed.
In the catalog of members of Congress in this House, perhaps none have been more persistent in their determination to bring the black man into disrepute and with labored effort to show that he was unworthy of the right of citizenship than my colleague from What a Surprise, North Carolina.
During the first session of this Congress, while the Constitutional Amendment was pending in North Carolina, he labored long and hard to show that the white race was at all times and in all circumstances superior to the Negro by inheritance, if not otherwise.
And the excuse for his party supporting that amendment, which has since been adopted.
So
let me just say this.
In the town where this young gentleman was born, the general election last August for the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment and the general election for the state and county officers, Scotland Neck had a registered white vote of 395, most of whom, of course, were Democrats, and a registered colored vote of 534, virtually, if not all whom were Republicans.
And they voted.
When the count was announced, however, there were 831 Democrats to 75 Republicans.
But in the town of Halifax, the same county, the result was much more pronounced.
In that town, the registered Republican vote was only 345, and the total registered vote of the township was 539.
But when the count was announced, it stood 990 Democrats to 41 Republicans.
Isn't that weird?
Have things changed?
Have the Democrats changed?
By the way,
I want to be very clear.
What Jim Crow Act did was take anyone who is black and make it impossible for them to win in an election in the South.
And they did little things first.
These are receipts.
If you happen to be watching the Blaze, these are receipts from a poll tax.
This is 1932, 1931, 1930, receipts for a poll tax.
So
you had to pay to be able to vote.
That, of course, is unconstitutional.
That was the Democratic Party that did that.
And then you have this.
This is the election ballot for the town of Geneva in Alabama in 1932.
And this was really great because blacks could vote.
We're not saying blacks can't vote.
What are you talking about?
Of course they can.
Except this ballot is the official primary election, the Democratic white primary.
Only whites could participate in the primary.
And you know all those Democrats, they love them some black people.
And so there never seemed to be a black person on the ballot in the primary.
But go ahead and vote for whoever you want.
You know, in the general, you can do that.
All of these were ruled unconstitutional.
That is Jim Crow.
That's what Jim Crow did.
That's why we had this amazing explosion of people who were slaves and then educated themselves enough to be more well-educated, more well-spoken than I or anybody.
I mean, that's easy, but anybody else,
anybody that you know, go try to read some of their speeches.
They educated themselves.
They brought themselves up.
And who stopped it?
It was the Democratic Party.
Now,
the Democratic Party, they changed.
They changed.
Oh, I want to talk to you about that change
because there are things going on
that
African African Americans need to wake up to.
You're being lied to over and over and over again, and you're falling for the same trap.
And so are many Americans that are not black.
Wake up.
Wake up.
More in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about the Giza Dream Sheets from my pillow.
They are delicious.
I mean, I haven't eaten them yet, but
don't put it past me.
I mean, I have some pretty wild dreams.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, about food, and I could see,
oh, I've got to eat.
Anyway, my pillow right now has
a special going on with the dream sheets.
If you've never slept on Giza cotton, it is the best.
And I don't know how they keep these sheets so cheap.
They are so inexpensive.
I mean, you get good, good sheets, and people are like, I got some good sheets for my wedding present.
I can get you two pairs of sheets right now for like, I think it's like about 70 bucks.
I get, you know, I buy one, I get another set free.
I mean, that sounds good to me.
And they're fantastic.
Really fantastic.
Softest cotton in the world.
Durable, cool.
Most important part,
they get softer every time you use them and wash them.

Oh my goodness.
So, Linda B.
Johnson, who was just a great guy, just a great guy, gutted the 57
Civil Rights Act, you know, made sure that it didn't have any voting restrictions.
It made sure that nothing was happening with voting because he said in 1957,
this is unconstitutional.
You can't tell local communities what to do.
That was the Democratic argument at the time.
See, they've played both sides.
You can't do that.
That's not what the Republicans were suggesting.
They were just suggesting that we, I don't know, keep up with the Bill of Rights and the amendments to the Constitution, that you can't block anyone from voting who is a American citizen and registered to vote.
But then he had a change of heart.
He had a change of heart.
Now, the press.
The press goes on to say that Lyndon B.
Johnson only said these things because he was trying to get his southern brethren on, but he had a change of heart.
Remember, he's one of the most racist guys and absolutely against.
I mean, he told
his driver at one point, he said, you know, sir, I'd prefer if you call me by my name, not the N-word or boy.
And he said, I'm paraphrasing here, you're an N-word and you'll always be an N-word.
So just do your damn job.
The paraphrasing part of that is you saying N-word instead of the actual N-word.
So right before the Civil Rights Act, when he was negotiating for the Civil Rights Act, he said, you know, and I'm quoting Lyndon Johnson, these Negroes are getting pretty uppity these days, and that's a problem for us since they've got something now that they never had before, the political pull to go back up to their uppity.
Now, we've got to do something about this.
We got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, but not enough to make a difference.
For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them we'll lose the filibuster and then there's no way of putting the brake on all sorts of wild legislation it'll be reconstruction all over again
that's when it was the most free for blacks this is his this is how he was convincing people
hmm okay
now what happened with the civil rights act what happened with the great society
the black population were put into chains
The great society has harmed the black community and the black family more than anything else.
Now, let's see.
What are the Democrats doing now?
Because they've had a change of heart.
Oh, you know what?
They're the ones that, just like during the time of the Klan, are arguing that black people shouldn't be able to own guns in inner cities to be able to protect themselves.
Oh, they're also saying, you know, defund the police.
Who is that harming?
Who is that harming most?
Not harming my community, but it sure is harming the black communities.
BLM, the riots.
Did that help or hurt the black man?
America wake up.
This is the Glennbach Program.
American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Norman's a regular listener of the program.
He wrote in a short while ago to talk about the experience he had when he refinanced his mortgage with American Financing.
He said, I was really nervous to start the process.
It was my first refi, and I thought it was going to be a miserable experience to get everything I needed together and to get it submitted.
But Tony at American Financing assured me that everything would go smoothly, and he and his team actually made it a pleasant experience.
They required a lot less than I expected, and it took a lot less time than expected.
I just want to thank Tony, Kelsey, Katie, and Kenya.
Thank you.
And thanks, Glenn, for the referral.
Norman, I am more than happy to have introduced you to American Financing.

There are rumors of up to three chalkboards tonight on Glenn TV.
You don't want to miss it.
Blazetv.com slash Glenn TV.
Really?
Yeah.
The promo code is Glenn.
I tell you all the time that you need to do your own homework.
Don't believe me or anything else other than an original source.
You need context, you need clarity, and you need all of the information.
Tonight on Blaze TV, there is rumors of more than one chalkboard.
I hear all the time, I love your chalkboard, when's the chalkboard coming back?
Oh, tonight it's coming back.
And it's coming back in a big way because there's a little story that we need to tell.
Who were the people and the groups involved with coronavirus research?
What really went down before and after the pandemic began?
This story is, in its first part, negligence, and then a tale of cover-up.
First, the negligence, the elites of the world, the people calling themselves the experts, the scientists
that trusted the Chinese Communist Party, with one of the most dangerous weapons we can imagine, a virus.
They trusted them.
We won't be assigning guilt.
We just want you to know what's going on, who was involved, and when.
Because if proof of a lab leak does come out, I think everyone, everyone that was involved should be a name that you know, whether they're Chinese, American, Republican, or Democrat.
Anyone that was involved.
Second, the cover-up.
Currently an attempt to control the narrative, to direct the story.
Everyone from big tech, the media, the Chinese, even our own government have been involved.
What lies behind the cover-up?
Because that could reveal the dirty secret.
In order to cut corners, the academic elites elites and government entrusted Chinese and the Communist Party with a civilian and civilization-killing virus.
Tonight, 9 p.m.
Do not miss it.
Oh, the cover-up, I think, still continues.
I'm sure I'm not allowed to even ask or draw these conclusions.
No matter what I say before,
I'm sure it won't be
on YouTube or place else.
You can find it on a place where we believe in free speech.

Oh, they are so good at that.

try.
Oh,
these are the Democrats from the great state of Texas who were singing in front of the U.S.
Capitol for some strange reason.
And we are a state in crisis right now.
Oh, crisis.
A state without Democrats.
Oh, no.
Okay, listen, for all the other 49 states, here's all you have to do.
We can get rid of your Democrats.
It's not that hard.
They'll take a private plane out of your state.
It's great.
It really is.
I think people outside of the state, though, might need a little review of history as to what led to this moment, this terrible crisis.
Jim Crow laws.
Jim Crow 2.0?
Yeah, Jim Crow.
Well, it starts before that.
First, Republicans got elected
through a Democratic process as part of a constitutional republic.
Yeah.
So those Democrats didn't get elected.
The Republicans got elected.
The Democrats didn't like it so much.
Then Republicans took office and they decided to pass a bill on election reform to secure elections.
Democrats didn't like that either.
Now, it's important to note that the bill that they're upset about doesn't do any of the things that they say it does.
That can't be true, Stu.
It is true.
To review here just a little bit, 2018, we had elections here in Texas.
A couple of years later, there were more elections.
Those elections, however, occurred during a pandemic.
And election rules all over the country, you may have remembered, changed a little bit because we weren't sure what phase of the pandemic we would be in.
May not even be able to go out and vote.
Right.
That was the reason we did all of these things.
Remember, go back to picture the worst days in the worst places of the pandemic, right?
Go back to April 2020, New York City.
If that's the situation in your state, people aren't going to be going out to vote.
Correct.
And you might have an election with 12% turnout.
All right, but get to the Jim Crow part.
Let's make sure that these
laws are open for people of the pandemic.
It's a one-time thing.
One-time.
We just need it this one time.
We're not going to have a pandemic in 2022.
We just need it in 2020.
Open up the laws, and then we'll go back to normal.
Got it.
The second the election ended, the media and the left decided to act as if the plan the entire time was to keep all of the pandemic voting rules the same.
What a surprise.
It's a stunning, shocking thing.
At no point did anyone actually say this before the election.
No one said it wasn't a one-time thing before the election.
Only after the election did they say all of these rules must stay or it's Jim Crow 2.0.
Now, obviously this is a ridiculous standard.
For example, in Georgia, one of the controversial laws, they slimmed the early voting period from 45 days to 21 days.
Now, the excuse here, of course, by these evil politicians was to say that
the cost and the burden on local communities was incredibly high to keep if you're in a small town and you have to keep
early voting open for 45 days, you might not have enough people coming who's coming 45 days early.
It's a big cost.
Now, obviously, if Republicans supported a bill like that that trimmed it from 45 to 21 days, there would be outrage all across America.
The problem here is that this bill actually passed in 2011 and was supported by Stacey freaking Abrams.
Stacey Abrams!
Stacy freaking Abrams.
Hold on just a second.
We have some breaking news.
Another letter from the battlefront.
James Talrico.
He's written another letter from the battlefront.
He says,
we Texas Democrats are prepared to stay out of Texas for the rest of the session.
This decision wasn't easy.
Many of my colleagues left kids, elderly parents, sick, loved ones.
Many are risking their day jobs and their seats in the house.
But we just will not sit by and watch our democracy wither on the vine.
James Tallarico,
proud Texan
and a man of courage.
So brave.
Oh my gosh.
So brave.
So brave.
Come back and vote on the bill, by the way, and then get out again just in case any of these Democrats are looking for a plan.
So the truth is, of course, Glenn.
Yeah.
In reality, these bills all across the country have expanded voter access from 2008.
That can't be.
I get all of my news from Coca-Cola, and that cannot be.
Unfortunately,
high-fructose corn syrup, not necessarily good for you, and really these voting laws not necessarily bad for you.
So,
if you look at 2018 to 2022, you're going to see a massive expansion all over the country in voting access, making it easier for you to vote.
And the truth also is that some of these pandemic measures were really bad ideas.
For example, 24-7 voting, for example, unattended voter boxes.
For example, letting party operatives from either party collect votes en masse and deliver them themselves
to the jurisdiction and the precinct so they can be counted.
I don't know.
Maybe putting a hardcore activist in possession of dozens of votes at a time, not a good idea.
Wait a minute.
I just heard the president said in Texas, for example, Republican-led state legislature wants to allow partisan poll watchers to attimidate voters and imperil impartial vote workers.
Wow, that's specific language.
They want voters to drive further and to be able to be in a position where they wonder who's watching them or intimidating them and to wait longer to vote.
They're going to have to drive a hell of a lot.
Excuse me.
They're going to have to drive a long way just to get to vote.
Oh, I'm glad you caught his language there.
I was on the line there.
So after the Democrats lie about these bills and they realize they're going to lose,
they just left.
First, they just left the building during the vote, and then they fled the state because of that.
Now, Abbott has threatened their arrest if they return.
And, you know, that sounds extreme.
It sounds like partisanship.
But here's the thing, Glenn.
These people are getting paid.
They're getting paid with my money, with your money, with Sarah's money, with everybody here in the studio's money.
They're getting paid to do nothing.
If I dropped my dry cleaning off and they returned it in a crumpled mess with a ketchup stain still on it and charged me anyway, that would be a crime.
And here we are with people getting paid to do nothing.
That to me is a crime.
And by the way, of course, that that remedy is already in the process here.
If you don't show up to do your job, you can be arrested in the state of Texas.
It's not only that we're paying them,
we are paying everyone in the state legislature, and they can't do anything
without a quarrel.
This is theft is what it is.
So here we are looking at all of this in Texas, and it's just an isolated incident, Glenn.
It's just, they just happen to be upset about this.
They're just standing up for their rights.
They're just doing what they can.
By the way, this is a total coincidence.
And do not in any way act as if this could have been coordinated in advance.
But on the day
where this wonderful flight went up to D.C.
and they decided to meet with lawmakers because this just happened to be when they had to do it.
On that same time, an organized coordinated push for HR1 was going on, where the president of the United States is out there talking about this specific issue.
What are the odds?
Well, he did say this, and I'd like to hear your excuse for this one.
He said, quote, this year alone, 17 states have enacted, not just proposed, but enacted 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote.
Not to mention, and catch this, nearly 400 additional bills Republican members of the state legislature are trying to pass.
And by the way, the same measure found that 28 bills also were passed to loosen restrictions on voting, so make it easier for people to vote.
He didn't mention the same study that said the same amount of laws were passed the other way.
But of course, we're also talking about a change from 2020 where we again were told there was a one-time exception, which is why we needed all these crazy new laws like mailing ballots to everyone, whether they request them or not.
All of those things went on.
I can't.
Excuse me.
Can I just talk about another?
Let me just mention here, yes,
there is another letter that is just Twittered in from the battlefront.
And
I don't care what Stu says.
But this one comes with a picture.
Oh,
it's a picture of a Coke Zero.
Yeah, no sugar.
No sugar.
A Coke Zero.
And a...
Caesar salad that looks actually kind of yummy and I'm not a salad guy.
But it...
It's a a good topic.
It's a letter from Gene Wu.
Oh, wow, Gene for Texas.
My first meal
as a fugitive.
Yes, yes, on the private plane, he had to eat a Caesar salad
and
a Coke Zero with no sugar.
So brave,
so brave,
so very brave.
Legislature,
the Democrats from the great state of Texas.
All right, let me tell you about Raycon.
Nothing more frustrating than a pair of wireless earbuds that don't live up to the most basic standards.

Don't, the Apple AirPods, oh, they're fantastic.
I just love them.
It looks like you're wearing,
for some reason,
a pair of small mini golf clubs in your ear.
I don't know why, but hey, keep rocking.

Let me tell you about Built Bar.
This is a protein bar that that's how my wife sold it to me.
Glenn, it is a protein bar.
It's really good.
I'm like, why would I want a protein bar?
Why?
The terrible salesman.
Know your audience.
Yes, thank you.
You'd think she'd know after living.
I found these candy bars.
They're amazing.
They're amazing.
If she would have sold it to me like that,
I would have eaten them immediately.
Did you hear what's new from the Mars Corporation?
You'd have been like, all in.
Right, right.
Right.
You know,
the people people that make chocolate chip mint ice cream, they're making a chocolate made with real chocolate, a chocolate mint brownie bar.
I am there.
You would have tried it on day one.
Right.
And if she would have taken the wrapper off that says, you know, healthy protein, blah, blah, blah.
I would have bought it.
I would have bought it the whole time.
It would have been like, this is my favorite candy bar.
They should do that.
They should make up alternate wrappers that don't say the healthy stuff.
Right?
Right.
Like, it should just say like 812 calories.
Because it is so good.
It's like 120 calories.
Right.

This
is
the Glenbeck Program.
This
is the Glenbeck Program, and tonight at 9 p.m.,
we go back and review some of the things that we knew then and know now about the coronavirus.
One of the guys who I found very refreshing at the earliest stage of this, when we knew absolutely nothing about it, was a very, very reasonable scientist who said, look,
we don't know, I think we should take these precautions, yada, yada.
And
he at the time,
it looks like this is not man-made.
Well, now he's kind of hedged that
and said, you know, I think there's more to look at.
An honest one, we're going to talk to him about COVID in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck Program.
I know how you're feeling if you're in pain.
I know everybody can see it as you move throughout your day.
I thought I was hiding it yesterday.
My back was just killing me yesterday.
And I have these days where it comes and goes.
And I was standing talking to David Barton and we were teaching a class.
And I'm standing there.
And David said, your back hurts.
And I said, what are you talking about?
He's like, the way you're standing?
Everything changes when you are in real, real pain.
I will tell you that I was in pain every single day to the point where I couldn't do it anymore.
And I said to David, he said,
is it getting better or worse?
And I said, I could live like this for the rest of my life.
It's nothing like it used to be, nothing, because of relief factors.
And most days, I don't have any pain.
Relief factor, it's not a drug developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
That's what I like about them.
They'll say, if you're going to see any results, you'll see it in three weeks.
It's not like, just keep taking it.
Just keep taking it.
If you don't see results in three weeks, stop taking it.
If you do see results, continue to take it.

It seems like a thousand years ago, but when the pandemic first began,
we talked about
what to do.
And I did an interview with Dr.
Ian Lipkin.
He is the director for the Center for Infection Immunity at Columbia University.
And
we spoke about what he was doing.
He was quarantining himself, not because he was told to, just because he felt it was the right thing to do, and it was at that time.
And we welcome Dr.
Ian Lipkin to the program again.
Hi, Doctor.
How are you?
Good to be with you, Glenn.
Yeah, thank you.
So did you ever get the virus?
I did in March of 2010.
So I actually went into quarantine three times.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
March of 2010?
Yes, excuse me, of 2020.
Okay.
All right.
I was like, whoa,
I was here a lot longer.
As you said, it seems like forever.
Oh, yeah, it does.
I guess it feels that way.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so
when I came back from China in February,
I was fine, but I was put into quarantine nonetheless, which I think was appropriate.
I then became ill in March in New York.
This time it was a strain of the virus that had come via Europe.
So that put me out of commission for a while, and then we had an infection in our lab.
It probably didn't occur in the lab, but somebody in the lab became infected, so we had to shut down yet again.
So I've had three episodes of
forced isolation.
When we spoke last time,
and I just read the transcript again before the program today, and
I was impressed with the way you handled things.
And both of us, we were like, look, I want to be a good American.
I want to be a good human being.
And both of us spoke
in ways where we were both saying, We don't know anything yet.
We have no idea what we're dealing with.
Could be really bad.
Could be not as bad, but we should take these actions.
You told me in that interview
that the origins of COVID-19 you thought were natural, but it was kind of, you weren't married to that.
You were just saying, I think they're natural.
I recently saw an article with Donald McNeil where the two of you were discussing a recent
revelation that Dr.
Xi in Wuhan was doing coronavirus experiments under biosafety level
two conditions.
Did this change the conversation at all in your viewpoint?
It hasn't changed my insight into where this thing originated.
We still think it began in wildlife, and there's no evidence that there are any specific experiments that were conducted by her or anyone else that led to a more transmissible virus.
What I was telling Donald at the time was that I thought that it was inappropriate to study potentially lethal infectious agents except under high levels of biocontainment.
That's what we do in New York.
That's what we do in the U.S.
And I think it's something that should be done worldwide.
We need to have international specifications for this kind of research.
I mean, don't you think it was really irresponsible of us to
ban it here
and then
give it over to the Chinese, knowing
we we know now we knew how bad that lab was for biosafety.
I mean I have no problem if you want to do it.
I don't think I'm for it
but if you want to do it let's do it in our labs in the deepest darkest place we have
well people are going to do research globally.
It's not something that's going to be unique to the United States.
But I do think it makes sense for us to implement internationally standards by which people do this kind of research.
Now the kind of research that we're talking about is gain of function research, which is research that is designed to identify how viruses or bacteria for that matter cause infections, how they cause disease.
And this kind of research is what gets us to the solutions so that when something naturally emerges or unnaturally emerges, we have a way in which we can address it.
So it's very important research.
But as you've said, it has to be conducted safely and rigorously and with appropriate safeguards.
So this is the argument that is being debated right now, whether it was natural or it was created.
Let me ask you this.
Couldn't both of those things be true?
A recent study published by the Chinese researchers detailed their work exposing mice with humanized lungs to coronavirus.
Couldn't COVID-19 have evolved naturally within the mice and then jumped to humans?
So let me just walk back to what we now know about the origins of the virus, because I think that's helpful in elucidating the problem.
There is more and more evidence coming out now to suggest that the virus was outside of China as early as October or November.
of 2019.
So this, although we became really aware of what was going on in December in Wuhan,
it may well have started earlier there or someplace else.
I'm not suggesting that I buy the idea that this thing came from the United States and went to China or any other such
sort of stories that you may hear.
But I think that we know so little still about the origins of this virus, when it first emerged in humans, whether or not there was an intermediate animal, that this is all speculation that's simply not going to get us anywhere.
So why would it be, why would we find it elsewhere?
And then Wuhan was just this wildfire?
Well, because it probably, if I had to speculate as to its origins, it was somewhere in the vicinity of Wuhan or Guangzhou, where you had a lot of wildlife.
One of the things that we've learned is that there were wildlife markets that were operational in the vicinity of Wuhan with with tens of thousands of animals prior to the onset of
the epidemic in Wuhan that subsequently became a pandemic.
Now, whether these were animals that came from someplace else in South Asia, we don't know.
We also don't know whether or not there might have been some intermediate animal.
We also don't know whether or not somebody inadvertently was exposed during the course of work in a laboratory.
Now, what I can say is that that even if we had wanted to create this virus, and I think we have people who know as much about these kinds of viruses in the U.S.
and in Europe as elsewhere, we would not have known what to do.
That's the best argument I can make for the fact that I don't think anybody deliberately created this agent.
But that's no excuse.
you know, for sloppiness in terms of the way these agents are handled.
So let me ask you this,
because I asked you to be on today
because you were one of the first guys that I talked to, and I thought you had a lot of credibility.
You were very,
you were open to all possibilities.
And it's hard to find what is really going on
now,
even though I'm not claiming that we do know, but I don't even know who to trust.
This research that was going on in Wuhan lab, the scientific community, the government, everybody,
including a colleague of yours, Peter Dazik,
have been involved in this.
And many of these guys are the staunch critics of the lab leak hypothesis.
What I'm asking you is,
I think this is what Eisenhower warned against when there is so much money involved and now politics involved.
How do we trust?
what we're finding.
How do we trust the people who are telling us these things?
This is a huge challenge, Clint.
I agree.
It's sort of, remember when Brumsfeld said we have known knowns and known unknowns and unknown unknowns?
We have all three of these here.
We don't really understand where this virus came from.
We don't know how long it was circulating before we came aware of its presence.
We do know a few things.
We know that it's risky to work with these kinds of agents without appropriate biocontainment.
We know that wildlife markets are an extraordinary source of risk and they need to be shut down.
And we know that we need to have transparency in the way investigations are done.
And they should be done by people who do not have any
real or apparent conflicts of interest.
Now, for example, I would not be the appropriate person to be engaged to go to China and try to figure out whether or not there was something that was going that was awry.
But there are people who have no conflict of interest, and I think they should be engaged to go in and try to figure out what we can know.
Now, the way we will do this is to look for samples that precede the Wuhan outbreak that show evidence that there was an infection there, right?
And that would include looking at, you know, at whatever we can find in laboratories, in animals, antibodies in people that indicate exposure.
We also need to investigate some reports now that
there was virus in Milan there in 2019.
So there are a whole system.
And there's also some antibody data from American blood banks that suggests that there were people who were infected with the virus in 2019 as well.
So all of this leads me to tell you that we're not a hell of a lot closer than we were when you and I first spoke.
Now the one thing I can tell you which is extraordinary is that as a result of what was done in the first Bush administration that was followed up with Obama where we started pushing for vaccines and the other things, we have the best tools in the world.
And we should be extraordinarily proud of what's been achieved because vaccination is the way out here.
The question is whether or not we can vaccinate the rest of the world too.
I know it sounds like a huge investment for the U.S.,
but I have to tell you that until the whole world is safe, this thing is going to ping-pong back and forth between the developing world and the developed world.
It's not going to go away.
How do we, I mean, I'm still having a hard time with the trust on this and not on the vaccine.
I mean, I don't have a problem with the vaccine.
Take the vaccine.
I wouldn't give it to my children.
I mean, it's not even approved for children yet.
But,
you know, how do we go back to trust?
How do we trust anything?
I mean,
we now know that scientists scientists were involved in shutting down the lab leak theory
because of their hatred for Donald Trump, and the press went along with it.
There's just so much politics in all of this.
There's a lot of politics in it.
I have to say that knowing many of these people as I do, I don't think that it had anything to do with Donald Trump.
I think they honestly believe that they're sincere in their belief that there was no evidence for a lab leak.
The problem here is that if you're thinking in terms of criminal law, you say you have to prove something beyond a shadow of a doubt.
That's not what we're dealing with here because if you make a mistake, everyone's on the hook, right?
So what we have to do is to proactively do the following.
We have to shut down the wild animal markets wherever they are.
We have to ensure that there's an international standard for reviewing how labs run this kind of research to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
And we also have to invest in our own infrastructure and the infrastructure around the world so that if something like this occurs, we have the situational awareness to respond rapidly and make sure that we never again look at six million people dying, $22 trillion in our treasury lost, and so forth.
I mean, this is this is the worst nightmare of my dreams, far worse than the move we made, contagion.
But I have to say that leadership has failed us globally.
So
we need to do something different going forward.
And we need to, scientists really do want your trust.
I have to tell you that
there's disagreement among scientists as to whether or not
this is appropriate or that's appropriate or which theory is most applicable.
And that's the nature of scientific discourse.
Exactly.
We argue until we get to the truth.
Right.
And that is what is being shuttered in so many different ways.
And that's what makes people cautious.
We need to have open debates and listen to all sides on everything.
But when it comes to science, no scientist should ever feel
that
they can't say something because of politics or money,
especially.
Dr.
Ian Lipkin, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
God bless.
My pleasure.
You bye.
It's almost a rite of passage to join a benefits group when you climb up into your 50s, isn't it?
Have you done it yet?
If so, who would you choose?
I think you ought to consider for a second option.
Take a look at the Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC.
If you haven't joined one, let me tell you why AMAC is the way to go.
Not only are you looking at a wealth of amazing benefits, things like insurance and travel discounts, but you're also going to find things that if you've join a group that pushes back against the crazy left, you're going to find this everywhere through AMAC.
Their constant efforts to legislate this country out of existence in Washington is something that AMAC stands against in real ways.
And they're also a source of uncensored information that you can trust, complete with newsletters, videos, podcasts, fresh website content, and a bimonthly magazine.
Over a quarter of a million AMAC members have directly participated in AMAC's outreach campaign.
Congress is hearing the voice of AMAC.
Remember, at the height of the NRA, I think they had about 5 million members.
I think they probably still do, but they had 5 million members.
They were such a powerhouse because people were united behind one cause.
Unite behind AMAC.
Advocacy, benefits, and information.
America needs AMAC.
So do you.
Go to AMAC, A-M-A-C.us slash Beck.
A-M-A-C.us slash Beck.
10 seconds station ID.
As Dr.
Lipkins said, you know, I wouldn't be the best guy to investigate this.
That is because he does a lot of work with the Chinese government.
At least he is open and honest about that.
But it makes makes you question.
And that is the biggest problem.
If you have transparency everywhere, then it's not a problem.
But we didn't have transparency with Dr.
Fauci.
We didn't have transparency in a lot of places.
And as far as China goes, I mean, they still to this day have not turned over the files from this lab.
They still to this day, I mean, they've were caught recently eliminating a very similar genetic sequence from records across the world
ahead of when we knew the outbreak actually occurred.
And that was caused, you know, by like, you know, like a group of people trying to understand the origin who've been working online.
And I, you know, I go back and forth on this in that like he's, what he's saying is true.
And that
there is not, I think maybe in talk radio circles and stuff, we kind of say, okay, it's the Chinese lab leak and that was what happened.
And I think it's definitely a real possibility.
The scientists don't have, they don't feel like they have that confirmed yet.
I mean, I look at it as more like a, I don't want to say journalist because we're not journalists, but we go through this every day, we analyze news, we look at this.
We, if anything, we've looked at this and looked at communist governments and how they treat information and have a real background in looking at that.
So, looking at it from that perspective, it to me screams lab leak theory or worse.
Of course, I just don't have the expertise in breaking down down a genome to be able to really track this.
And the scientists are more split on it than I think at times conservative media acknowledges.
And the opposite of what liberal media says, where they say there's no, they've been saying for a long time, lab leak's not even a possibility.
They were split on that the entire time as well.
There are good cases to be made on both sides.
But tonight, I want to show you what we thought and we think is happening happening and happened.
If it is proven that it is a lab leak,
then we're in a whole different ball game because there was a cover-up that happened.
And I'm going to lay it all out on a chalkboard tonight at 9 p.m.

Well, Cuba has gotten bad quickly.
About 100 people have just disappeared from Cuba that were some staunch supporters and
out in the streets protesting the government of Cuba.
They've just disappeared.
I mean, what could have happened to them, Stu?
I mean, they're just gone all of a sudden.
Well, it's hiking season, actually, in Cuba right now.
Yeah.
So a lot of times there's a lot of long walks that people go on.
They go into
the mountains.
Right.
Is this avalanche season?
It is avalanche season.
Right.
When they go hiking, a lot of times avalanches will crush
many people who happen to be protesting and no
party officials.
See, that's why you listen to the news because you can get the full story, like the hiking season epidemic, the loss of
protesters, of dissidents in Cuban.
In Cuba, that's weird.
It's just, I don't know why these opponents of the regime.
are such big fans of hiking.
They are almost exclusively hiking.
Well, the rest of them are taking tours of the prisons.
Right, of course.
And they're just, you know, they just love prison tours.
You mean the free housing they're getting?
The free housing.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
So things are getting really bad for the Cuban people.
They are on the streets
now chanting, where's Biden?
Where's Biden?
I think Biden thinks that several times a day himself, but I'm not really sure.
What's happening there is the people have had enough, and this is one of those moments where the Democrats are going to screw it up again, where people have a chance to have freedom if they would just get the support of America.
The regime is weak.
Cuba could be free, and we're going to blow it again.
Where is Biden on this?
Where is the administration?
Where is the support of these people?
You know, 470 people have have got onto a raft or something, and they've tried to come to the United States from Cuba, and we have turned them away.
And the administration has said, we want to make sure that you understand
we're sending you back.
You're not coming into the United States.
I guess Cubans are the wrong brown people.
Is that right?
They always vote the wrong way.
That's the problem.
Well, that's the problem.
Yeah, yeah.
Send back them.
Send back them.
Send back them.
Build back better and send back them.
I like it.
That's the plan.
By the way, I tweeted something to the Cuban people taking a brave stand against socialism.
We support you.
I got a Twitter response from the socialist party
of America to the ignorant who keeps saying Cuba has socialism.
There are three important facts.
I think they're talking about Michael Moore, right?
He certainly said that they had all sorts of wonderful, glorious socialist television.
I agree with them that he is ignorant.
Socialism means a society with no ruling class.
It's always meant that throughout history.
Oh, wait, it's never been tried correctly.
That's why
that's why you have nine-figure death tolls every sentence.
Socialism is a society where the people own the means of production, not the elite.
See, what you're talking about, I hate to point this out to the Socialist Party, but what you're talking about is
communism.
Communism is that.
Everything else has been socialism.
I mean, I hate to, you know, go to Marx on stuff like this, but socialism is the step in between.
It's where the heavy hand needs to be, needs to come down on people to change that society, to get everybody to go, we're all in this together, and I don't care about status or who owns what.
We're all just gonna share and we're gonna live like Jesus.
That is communism.
Communism has never happened.
It never gets past the brutality stage because it's the complete opposite of everything that humans
experience and feel and want.
But by these standards, capitalism has never been tried either.
It's a,
of course, purely every single thing the way that Marx set it up.
You know, it's it's never going to be perfect, but these are largely socialist, largely communist countries, right?
Correct.
And like, you know, it's, it's, certainly, I can complain and say that this would be better if we were more capitalist.
However, you know, this is generally a capitalist country, and that's why you've seen the benefits.
Cuba, generally a communist country or socialist country, and largely we've seen where that leads.
Yeah,
death and despair and tragedy for decades and decades and decades on end.
And it could end now if Americans would stand up and stand with the Cuban people.
We stand with you.
We stand with you.
We're going to talk a little bit about that coming up next hour.
By the way, Vice
has
done their research on how they caught us at CPAC.
Man, they caught us.
They caught you?
Yeah, they caught us.
Where did they catch you?
On stage?
Yeah, they caught me on stage.
I don't know.
Conservative radio host Glenn Beck showed off a KKK hay hood on stage before going to compare the Ku Klux Klanta and Tifa.
I mean, most people would do what they could to avoid that headline.
Yeah.
Not you.
Most people would try to maybe, I can't tell you how many times we've been to these museums.
museums and and Glenn has got his giant display of some terrible thing from history.
Like I remember one time in particular, there were these giant Nazi flags that you got from somewhere and you were talking about the horrors of the Nazi party and some local media person comes in.
They're like, Glenn, can we we talk to you?
Yes.
And you're like, yeah, sure.
And you start the interview, and I'm like, I'm looking at it.
All I see is the background of you standing in front of these giant Nazi flags on television.
And theoretically, it's something you try to avoid.
I would try to avoid.
There's a PR sort of lesson.
Here on the CPAC speech in particular, I had an hour to speak.
Yes.
And so I knew I could put it into context.
And I said at the very beginning, they're going to take things out of context, but, you know, it's time to show the truth.
And I showed where the Klan came from.
You know, the Klan was a Democratic Party enforcement arm, period.
It wasn't something else that was like, oh, you know what?
Let's see if we can talk those Klan members into being Democrats.
No, no, no.
It was started by the Democrats to be an enforcement arm to make sure that no uppity blacks
or any uppity whites were going to be fighting for
voting rights for black people because they got to be kept in place.
That is a democratic arm.
And I just want to do a show.
And so I did bring,
I did bring, I think this is one of the most horrifying things.
I'm just horrifying.
This is from around the time of Reconstruction.
This is the pieces of a Klan mask.
And it is truly terrifying.
Truly terrifying.
But I don't have it because I'm for the Klan.
I have it because I'm against the Klan.
And Vice,
oh my gosh, you guys are such good journalists.
You just saw pictures.
I like to get
all of my facts from books with pictures in them.
I can't take the time to read any of the words or listen to the context.
I just picture, picture, picture.
That's why all the best journalism is on Instagram.
That's exactly right.
They also said backstage after his speech, Beck was showing off other pieces from his extensive collection, including Nazi armbands worn by victims of Hitler's Germany.
Hmm.
I don't know where you got that because
I didn't do that.
I mean, I have that collection of Nazi armbands.
I mean, you want to come over, I'll show you.
I mean, you got to see the electric chair.
It is unbelievable.
It's either number one or number two from the New York Penitentiary.
See, I collect the dark side of history.
David Barton collects all of the good things of American history.
I want to be able to show both sides so you can decide.
So nobody's walking around going, America is the greatest place ever, and we've never done anything wrong.
No, it is the greatest place that man has devised so far, but we've done a lot of wrong and we learn from that so we don't do it again.
So when we see symbols and we're like, oh,
yeah,
I know what that is.
The Native Americans had it turned around the other way.
So did the Hindus.
They had it turned over the other way and it was a square.
But Hitler, you're going to love this fact.
Hitler took that sign of peace and flipped it the other way and then had it on an angle.
Why did he have it on an angle?
Because he believed in socialist progress.
He was a progressive.
Hmm.
Did you know that?
Probably not.
Because there's a picture.
I just want to show a picture, picture, picture, picture, picture.
So their evidence was that you showed a KKK hood, but you said, of course, obviously it was in a negative light, but they tried to say it was in a positive light, or how did they frame it?
So
Glenn Beck held up a KKK hood from his personal collection.
I mean, it's technically accurate, but I think frames it a little bit incorrectly.
Yeah, you kind of leave out the part where I talked about our museum that has artifacts of
more founding documents, more documents on the American founding prior to 1812 outside of the Library of Congress and the National Archives.
Other than that.
Pretty good.
Other than that.
And I will say, too, technically, it's probably out of the museum collections.
It's not even your personal collection.
Some of these things are mine.
Some of them are not.
You lend them all to me.
I lend them all the time anyway.
Yeah.
You buy stuff and then, you know, put it over the museum or whatever.
But it's funny that
instead of saying, like, he talked about the horrors of the Democrat-led
Ku Klux Kingdom.
In the middle of his CPAC speech defending the United States record on slavery.
Oh, that's what you did?
Wow, that's a shocking
development.
I've heard you talk about slavery thousands of times.
I've never heard you once defend it.
Why did you pick that one time to start defending slavery?
Well, I thought it was the time to come out.
I thought it was the time to come out and do that.
Yeah, yeah.
So,
or not,
it's the exact opposite.
Here's the thing:
they can't defend themselves at all.
So, they have to take and twist lies
and take these lies and push them everywhere they can.
Twist everything that they can into a negative and into a dark place.
You want the truth?
You want the beginning,
the beginning of an understanding of where you should start seeking the truth?
Watch my CPAC speech.
See if you know half of it.
See if you know half of what I talked about.
If you don't, maybe you should go back and look at original sources on American history.
I want pictures.
You know, if you don't have some sort of
system like Life Lock, in fact, I think it's Life Lock is the best.
But if you don't have something like Life Lock right now, you're basically walking down a dimly lit alley at night, you know, with your wallet, going, hey, everybody, I got free money in my wallet and I got credit cards and everything.
Come and get it.
You're smarter than that.
I know you you are.
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect our lives.

You are listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Oh, let me tell you, the art world has just embraced me.
Uh, so,
I mean, you were the 100th most important person in the world of art.
I think once you are, you always are.
I know that Art Magazine did that as a joke.
I disagree.
It was a joke.
I always took it seriously.
Well, I did too.
And I'm a doctor.
I'm a colonel.
I'm a Kentucky Colonel.
I'm a Reverend
from the Church of Universal Life.
I'm also a priest
in my church.
So I am a Reverend Doctor Priest, Colonel Beck.
That's what I am.
You have an almost unlimited amount of titles.
Right.
And so I know, I know these things.
But they've just embraced me so much, so much.
And gosh, I just appreciate that.
I do.
I have one gallery out there who's like.
They're just totally, total defenders.
They're just great, great people.
They don't all agree with me politically.
Great, great people.
And
I just know other galleries are like oh we cannot speak to them anymore we cannot speak to them um but anyway uh the deal is with my artwork unlike joe biden hunter biden hunter biden you don't get to meet my dad
No,
no, that would be
creepy at this point.
He's been dead for a few years, so it'd be really creepy.
But I want you to know that if you buy one of my pieces of art, you don't meet my dad.
Look, the fact that we now have evidence that Hunter Biden was doing deals in Central America and then shuttling up multiple billionaires to meet in the vice presidential residence,
that's not something that's worth reporting on
by the media at all.
No.
And the fact that now he's taking in $75,000 to $500,000 for paintings, even though I believe it was the former Obama ethics advisor who said he's never even done as much as a community art show before,
But that's totally okay and not suspicious at all.
Well, he makes them with a straw.
I think it's a Coke straw, but he makes them with a straw.
Well, he has the straws that are lying around.
And some of them,
I think he's going to glue some macaroni on some of them.
So, I mean, they're worth 500 grand.
But
we have Peter Schweitzer on
the art
of the deal,
the Biden edition.
Let me see a quick preview on Peter Schweitz and see how much we can get out of him on this.
He's on Studos America the other night.
And I asked him a question, and he just sort of blurts out that he has the Hunter Biden laptop.
He has it.
Like he has all of it.
We're going in to talk to him about the Biden thing.
That's our cover.
That's our cover.
Tell me about Biden.
So, what about that laptop?
You don't want to miss this interview with Peter Schweitzer.
Coming up next.
So we have an investigator, or that's what he says he is, Peter Schweitzer.
He's going to be on talking about
Hunter Biden and his little art scheme he has got going on.
We'll see if this Mr.
Peter will actually answer any of our questions.
Stand by.
State radio continues in one minute.
Can't wait.
Can't wait until people are forced to listen to this program.
You know what I'm saying, Stu?
Just would really make our ratings go up.
If we could only just require it.
It's made possible by people like you.
Because we park our big broadcast truck over your dead body.
The world of buying and selling homes never been simple.
But today,
today, it's even more complicated.
One thing you can learn about mankind, he likes to make every transaction as complicated as possible.
Thank God we have womankind.
You know what I'm saying?
They don't do anything that's complex.
They are so easy to understand.
Anyway, it's complicated enough.
Sarah, why are you giving me that dirty look right now?
I don't even...
She's one of them.
She's a woman?
She's one of them.
Well, I don't know how she identifies today, but you could have fooled me.
She keeps flashing me, too.
And I'm like, stop it.
Stop it.
Stop.
What's Du?
What's wrong?
I beg of you.
I beg of you to get to Peter Schweiser.
Well, I just want to talk about RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.
If you're looking for a great real estate agent, you'll find one there.
Realestateagents I trust.com.
We have you covered coast to coast, wherever it is, you're moving across the street, cross town, or across country.
We can give you real estate agents on both sides to help you buy and sell the house for the right amount of money.
It is RealEstateAgents I Trust.com.
Tonight on Glenn TV, the worst of the COVID pandemic may be over, but the virus's after effects will be with us for years.
And now we can finally connect the dots, showing what really happened.
Did America's elites trust communist China with a civilization-killing virus and then lie to cover up their mistakes?
Glenn's back at the chalkboard with what happened and who was involved.
Deadly negligence, exposing the real origins and cover-up of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tonight, 9 p.m.
Eastern at PlaysTV.com.
So here we have this Mr.
Peter Sweiser,
host of Drill Down with Peter Schweizer.
What is this Drill Down thing you do?
I've never even heard your podcast yet, Peter.
I just found this out.
How long have you been doing that without telling your friends?
We just started it.
I'm sorry, I'm going to have trouble doing this interview.
I'm laughing too hard.
What you
do are doing on the radio is something else.
It's great to be with you as always, Glenn.
Thank you.
I have two ways to go here, Peter.
We're friends.
You know me.
You consider me an honest man?
Yes, absolutely.
All right.
Well, I've been lying to you, Peter.
I said I wanted to get you on to talk about Hunter Biden's art, but it is all a ruse to get you to talk about the laptop that you have of his.
But
we'll go the honest way.
Now that I've told you that's what my ruse is, let's start talking about
his art.
Is there any mention of his art on his laptop?
No, no, there's not.
I would say
there are certain images that Hunter Biden might consider to be art.
But no,
we have stayed away from all
photographs and images.
There's no mention of art.
There's no mention of art appreciation either
on the laptop.
So I'll say that.
Let me come back to that nonsense and as much as you care to tell us, because I know you're writing a book and it's an expose on this.
But
let's do talk about the art.
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that this is a, hey, you can meet my dad for 500 grand?
No, there's no doubt.
Anybody that seriously looks at this, I mean, look, you got to give them credit, Glenn.
There's a certain maniacal evil genius quality to this art scam.
You know, when we talked about the deals with the energy company and the deals in China, everybody was saying, like, look, he has no background in China.
He has no background in energy.
Because because those are things you look for in the business world.
Well, the art world, it's all subjective.
It's all completely subjective.
So for them to now migrate to the art world as a means by which people can pay half a million dollars for a piece of Hunter Biden art,
that that's anything but a sophisticated scheme for foreign influence buying is ridiculous.
I mean, I'll note just a couple of days ago, there was an article in Maine that a Picasso sold for $150,000.
Correct.
Picasso?
Yeah, they want you to pay more than three times that
for a piece of artwork by the son of the president of the United States who has no formal training in art and has no certificate.
Okay, so hang on just a second, because
I can't diss somebody for not having any formal training.
I have no formal training.
Well, actually, I kind of do now, but no actual certificate in art or anything else.
And
a gallery is carrying my art and it does come with a hefty price
however
I don't have a track record of doing deals and trying to find ways to make money just because I'm the son of the president or the vice president and that way you pay me for something that I'm really not doing and you get to go talk to my dad Well, that's right.
And also, Glenn, I mean, I know your story.
I mean, you didn't start out in radio with a nationally syndicated program.
And what Hunter Biden is basically saying is, I've never, I don't even know if he did art in high school, but what he's doing is he's going from having no background, no history of doing art, to saying, I'm going to charge $500,000 for a piece of art.
And by the way, my business partner, the guy that owns this gallery, has been trying for years to break into the Chinese art market by opening up galleries.
We know who the buyers are going to be.
It's the same thing, Glenn,
with Hunter's business career.
He wasn't going to Tokyo and London and doing deals with recognized companies.
He was going to Ukraine, to Moscow, to Beijing.
It's going to be the same thing here.
Nobody believes serious collectors in the art world are going to prize these properties and buy them.
They're going to be marketed.
They've already talked about this.
They're going to be marketed in places like China.
And they're not being sold
with sort of a made-up artistic name.
They're being sold as Hunter Biden.
Everybody knows who Hunter Biden is.
So it's very clear what this is.
And the White House response to this has been laughable, Glenn, because the only way you can deal with this is, if Hunter's really going to do this, is with a level of transparency.
And you've got to give Bill and Hillary Clinton credit here.
When Bill started doing all those speeches when Hillary was in the Senate and Secretary of State, they at least had the decency to say, we're going to disclose who's paying Bill and how much.
The Biden White House is saying the opposite.
We're actually going to keep it secret.
Somehow, that's going to make it less corrupt.
It's just laughable.
So,
you know, when I was growing up, the big scandal, you know, with
people trying to cash in on the president was Billy Beer, Billy Carter.
Right.
Which is pretty small potatoes.
And we've always seemed to care until the Clintons.
And now
the evidence is so clear what's going on, at least on Hunter Biden, that you'd think that this would be really
important.
In the laptop, if you care to say,
or even out of the laptop, is there any direct evidence that shows, I mean solid evidence, that shows that is exactly what's happening.
This is a pay-for-play,
and
Joe Biden is profiting off of this.
Yeah, the answer is yes.
And, you know, Glenn, we've known each other for a long time, worked on a lot of projects together.
I'm always loath to
draw conclusions that you can't draw based on the material.
But, you know, look, there's 30,000 Hunter-Biden emails.
We got access to them.
We have the collection.
We were very skeptical.
We didn't want to accept them at face value.
So what we did, Glenn, was we cross-referenced the Hunter-Biden emails with every other data set that we know is fact.
For example, the U.S.
Senate released Hunter Biden's Secret Service travel records.
So we know where the Secret Service traveled with him on what dates.
We cross-reference the Hunter-Biden emails.
If an email says Hunter is going to be in Dubai next week, does that actually correspond with the Secret Service travel records?
In every single case, absolutely 100%.
So there's no way that they could have been made up in that respect.
We then cross-reference them to the Bevan Cooney emails.
Bevan Cooney, a Hunter Biden business partner who went to jail, Bevan Cooney granted us access to his Gmail account, meaning we didn't get printed out emails, we didn't get copies, we actually go into his Gmail account.
He and Hunter exchanged emails.
So the question is, are the Hunter Biden laptop emails, do they correspond with the Bevan Cooney emails?
Again, yes, 100%.
Then you look at the wire transfers that the Senate committee released, you know, of the money coming from Russia and China.
You look at the references in the Hunter Biden laptop to wire transfers of money.
Do those correspond?
Absolutely 100%.
So the Biden laptop emails that we have gone through are verified all different ways.
There's no
challenging their veracity.
Then the question becomes what's in them.
And that's very challenging because there's 30,000.
And just doing a word search really is not the way.
So we've hand-gone through almost all of them.
We're about halfway through the investigation.
And a couple of things stand out, Glenn.
First of all, this is not just a Hunter Biden story.
This is a Joe Biden story.
Joe Biden financially directly benefited from Hunter Biden's deals while he was vice president.
That's not surmising.
That's not implying.
It's directly evidenced in the emails.
And
is it a, I mean, because, Peter, that is quite a charge.
Is it buttoned up 100?
There's no way this could be taken apart
and looked at in a different way.
Yeah, I'll tell you how clear-cut it is, Glenn.
Hunter Biden takes money from foreign entities.
Hunter Biden consistently and regularly is paying his father's and his mother's bills while they're vice president of the United States.
That's how clear-cut it is.
And by the way, that's not legal.
It's not legal for an elected official.
You can get gifts from family members, but it's very specifically
defined what a gift is.
And paying their bills does not count as giving them a gift.
But how much money, I mean, you know, what is that?
You know, they live modestly, I'm sure.
Oh, no.
I mean, it's I'm not going to give you an exact amount now, but it's not a modest amount.
And the other thing that is clear is that Hunter Biden,
it's a quid pro quo.
There are emails in which he actually is communicating with foreign nationals where he says,
I have given you all the access you asked for in the White House.
I got you meetings at the Vice President's residence.
I got you meeting with White House officials.
I got you meeting at White House events.
And then he's angry because the promised deals have not materialized.
So he's laying out explicitly that the access was a quid pro quo.
So these are just sort of the ground level.
I will tell you that
once we are done with the investigation and once we release it,
this is going to be a massive scandal that's going to raise all kinds of fundamental questions about the nature of the Obama, sorry, of the Biden administration and how and why certain decisions are being made in the Biden White House.
Currently.
Currently, currently.
Peter,
you need some extra security.
Just let me know.
You're headed down a dark, dark rabbit hole.
Do you have any idea when you'll be able to release any of this?
It'll probably be in January.
And I will say, Glenn, I mean, we've known each other for many years, have done a lot of things.
This is, I would say, by far the most frightening research that we've done.
That includes the Clintons.
That includes the previous work on the Bidens, the insider trading in Congress.
This is by far the most frightening research.
What do you mean by frightening?
You're talking about, let's say, very sinister foreign entities.
When people think of corruption, I think a lot of times, Glenn, people think of,
okay, this congressman you know, got a contract for this paving company or they helped out some Wall Street banker.
And I'm not minimizing it.
That's important stuff.
But what we're dealing with here is a Biden family business model that's laid out in the Biden emails and other sources of information that I've just talked about.
Their business model was not to just go for low-hanging fruit in safe places to collect money.
They went directly to the darkest corners of the earth when it comes to corruption and adversaries of the United States and were prepared to do their bidding.
That is the bottom line that comes out of these emails.
And that is not surmising.
That is explicit and detailed in the emails.
And people will be able to read it for themselves when we release them.
I mean this sincerely, Peter.
Stay safe.
We will, Glenn, and I appreciate, as always, your your friendship and encouragement and support for what we do.
You bet.
Thanks a lot, Peter Schweitzer.
Wow.
That is going to be a big deal.
And if you know anything, I mean, again, he throws out, you know, this is bigger than when we found Insider Trading in Congress.
Peter is literally responsible for changing the law of the United States because of that investigation.
This is not a minor thing.
It all stops.
Insider Trading stopped
in Congress because of his work.
He has exposed big, big things.
For him to say
what makes me really nervous, pray for him and his staff and the people around him.
When he says it's the most frightening, when you're dealing in those dark corners,
you know, you know what happens to people who cross Putin
anywhere, anywhere in the world.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Bilt Bard.
If you haven't ordered a box of Bilt Bars yet, you have have to ask your question.
Why are you being cruel to yourself, your tongue, the yummy, the things that need a yummy home in your tummy?
Really, honestly.
It is
good for you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it is really good.
Really good.
Built Bar understands how the world really works.
Flavor first, healthy crap second.
That's why Bilt Bars tastes like a candy bar when you bite into it.
You're fooling your body into eating something healthy.
I know.
I never thought it was possible.
It's like the fat pill.
We're there when, okay, how come everything tastes like crap that's good for you?
Built bar has crossed the threshold.
They're there.
The promise is true.
It's happened.
I want you to check them out for yourself.
Go to built.com, use the promo code Beck15, and you'll get 15% off your next order.
120 calories per bar, real chocolate, really good taste, lots of protein, four net carbs, I think, on most of them.
So they're really good for you, and they taste great.
Get them for snacks.
I could build a whole meal around them, quite honestly.
Built.com, use the promo code Beck15, built.com, 10-second station ID.
So you're going to have to help me out.
Remember,
I think it was on HBO,
and it's such a great
series.
And I watched it because it's pretty much about the Murdochs.
At least that's what they want you to think.
What's that series?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yes, totally.
Secession, yeah.
Secession.
Okay.
And the son's name.
Kendall.
Kendall.
I think that is the Hunter Biden story.
Yes.
Every time I
you wait, the more and more you see about what Hunter has done and been doing over his life, you just can't get Hunter or you can't get Kendall out of your mind if you've watched that show.
And if you've watched that show, you just think, I mean, it is exactly the same story.
Dad is seemingly a nice guy to him, but not really.
He's passive-aggressive like crazy.
And he's using all of his
addictions against him and gets him to make, you know, money for the family, do all the illicit deals
and would flush him down the toilet in a heartbeat.
And you look at what's going on right now.
If this was a sane relationship between father and son, the last thing in the world Hunter would be doing is this.
Right?
I mean, like, yeah, of course he deserves to be able to earn a living, but he shouldn't be doing it in the most corrupt industry imaginable.
I mean, you know, Joe Biden, and I don't want to judge anybody's love for their family, but honestly,
to put Joe Biden into the presidency, his family should have stepped up and said, you know, dad, no,
because he's just not there.
And in the reverse, I will tell you, if I love my children, and I do, if one of them had the record of Hunter Biden, I'd be there for him every step of the way.
But I would not be putting him into these high pressure situations and, you know, lots of money and corruption all around.
That would be the worst thing I could do to a drug addict.
Yeah.
I mean, think about it.
There's only two possibilities here.
If Hunter, you know,
really cared about the presidency of the United States, let's say everything's completely fine and he cares about his dad's presidency.
The last thing in the world he would be doing is this, right?
Something that makes it look like.
Right.
On the other hand, the only reason you'd do it in that situation is if these
payments and influence were actually real.
Like if this was a purchase of influence, then you wouldn't necessarily stop them.
And what has his answer been?
To hide all the people who are buying the art.
I mean, it certainly adds up to corruption.
And I think we're going to find a lot more from Peter over the next six months or so.
That backs that up.
That is remarkable.
What Peter just said was remarkable.
That is worth sharing with some friends.
This is the Glenback program.
I want to talk to you a little bit about Goldline.
They have come into possession of a very rare lot of the most historic coin in U.S.
history, or at least one of them.
It's the
$5 Gold Indian Head.
What a surprise.
It's not worth $5 anymore because it's solid gold.
It's extremely similar to the $5 Liberty coins that I own.
And I buy them for a reason.
I'm a coin collector.
And it's worth about 10 times, or I should say it's rarer, about 10 times rarer than the gold Liberty coins.
It's highly sought after.
They have very few of these.
They've just got a lot in of this.
This week only, they are offering a pre-launch special before they offer these to the general public.
With each tube of Indian Indian head coins purchased, you are going to receive a brand new 2021 Type 2 Silver Eagle and a copy of the Crisis Preparedness Handbook, all at no additional cost.
You have a chance to buy these before anybody else.
It's only available this week and while the inventory lasts, call Goldline right now.
866 GoldLine.
That's 866Goldline.
And BlazeTV.com/slash Glenn.
Promo code is Glenn.
You got a brand new Studios America, followed by the brand new Glenn TV, The Origins of COVID tonight.
Welcome to the program to a good friend of the program, Gian Carlo Sopo, a conservative media strategist, former Trump campaign official, and somebody whose family escaped from Cuba.
Welcome, Gian Carlo.
How are you?
Hey, Glenn, it's so great to talk to you again.
Yeah, great to talk to you.
I've been thinking about you for the last few days.
As soon as I saw the protests in
Cuba, can you tell us what's really going on from the ground?
Do you have any contact with anybody in Cuba?
Yeah,
I have many sources on the ground there.
Essentially,
what's going on is that people are just fed up.
People are fed up with six decades of oppressive tyranny.
You know, there's been a lot of attention on COVID and whether this protest is for vaccines or whatever.
That's all nonsense.
Maybe COVID is the straw that broke the camel's back because
it showed that the Cuban regime's propaganda that it's some kind of healthcare paradise was entirely false.
And Cubans are now very aware of that because they're seeing that while the rest of the world is moving past COVID, cases on the island are skyrocketing.
People are dying in hospitals because there is no oxygen.
There is no treatment for COVID on the island.
The Cuban regime refused Pfizer vaccines on a humanitarian basis.
So we did offer.
Oh, yeah.
So everyone talks about the embargo.
The embargo has very wide loopholes for food and for medicine.
This is entirely the Casco regime's doing because they have
choked off innovation on the island.
It's a communist dictatorship.
The government is by far the largest employer in the state,
in the nation.
Their entire economy is under the control of the Cuban military.
When people go to hotels in Cuba, what they're actually doing is giving the money directly to the Cuban military apparatus.
Because imagine that if you stayed here like at a holiday inn, you were giving money to the U.S.
Army because the Army owned Holiday Inn.
That's exactly
what the situation is like in Cuba.
When you go to a Cuban hotel or any kind of state-run establishment for tourists, that feeds money directly into the coffers of the Cuban military, which is why I've always encouraged if Americans are going is to support the private sector, do not stay in anything that's like funded by the government.
So people are just fed up.
There have been
massive crackdowns on prominent artists on the island in recent months
who began protesting the regime.
And then like with greater internet access, people have become more aware and just less afraid.
There is no respect for Cuba's current dictator, the man who inherited the crown per se from Raul Castro.
Nobody respects him.
He's a charlatan.
He's a fraud.
And so the Cuban people are fed up and they're demanding their God-given rights.
So tell me about, because a hundred people have been disappeared,
a Chinese word,
where they were protesting and now they're just gone.
Tell me how dangerous it's becoming for people on the streets.
It's very dangerous.
We're seeing footages, and I'm receiving a lot of people on the island who are able to sneak out images because they're somehow able to use proxies and VPNs to go around the government censors of the internet.
Yeah, because
I thought they had shut the internet down there.
They've maintained the internet, what they've blocked off or any kind of social media sites.
But Cubans are extremely resourceful resourceful
and intelligent, and
they're able to kind of get around them through proxies and VPNs if they're able to access them.
So the government is now deployed its black beret forces going neighborhood by neighborhood, cleaning out homes,
arresting dissidents.
mandatory enlistment of young men between the ages of 18 and 19 and 20 into the the military.
They've like there are images of the regime dragging people in that age group, young men in that age group out of their homes and forcing them to attack their fellow Cubans.
The situation is getting really nasty, and I'm also hearing reports.
I've been unable to independently verify this, but I've now received a couple of reports from people on the ground in Cuba saying that their neighborhoods are being patrolled by people with foreign accents.
So these would be Venezuelan troops on the island in Cuba.
I was shocked to see Biden say, you know, anything about the fight for freedom in Cuba.
We have an opportunity now to help the people of, I mean, this regime could fall because of this,
and we're not doing anything.
What should we be doing?
Well, that's a very good question.
I think one of the first things that we could do is to work to facilitate Internet access as much as possible to the Cubans, whether it's through satellite or whether it's through our military base in Guantanamo.
There are ways to do it.
We should be very aggressively pursuing that if the technology allows for it.
The second thing is that the U.S.
State Department, the Department of Defense, could work with American VPN providers and proxy servers to make their services more easily available to the Cuban people so they can circumvent the sensors.
And then the last thing that we should be looking at is that, look, the Cuban people do not have weapons.
One of the first things that Fidel Castro did when he came into power is that he confiscated all guns.
Cubans are not allowed to own guns of any kind, not even for hunting.
So if there's one thing that we should be doing is if
we should be considering a humanitarian corridor where we would and send the Castro regime a very clear message.
If you fire upon your people,
you will,
all options are on the table.
We will enforce, we will work with our allies to bring peace to the Cuban people, but we cannot tolerate a massacre of the Cuban people.
You're talking about the, if there's one thing that Cuba does very well, it's intelligence and it's internal military operations and policing.
So we should be defending the Cuban people or at least helping them defend themselves.
How can we help?
How can the average person help?
The best thing that people could do right now is continue sharing images coming out of Cuba, retweet them, keep the issue on the news.
The regime always bets that
our attention is going to go away elsewhere and that people will not care for
dissidents, that Americans will not pay any attention to them arresting and beating people.
So I've been tweeting out a lot of images, and I know that you've been very supportive, Glenn, and so have other people like Ben Shapiro,
who are really drawing a lot of attention to this issue.
Keep retweeting that.
Keep Cuba in the news, and use the hashtag SOS Cuba.
Okay.
Giancarlo Sopo,
we pray for Cuba and we pray for sanity.
It's remarkable to me that these countries are seeing uprisings, China, Cuba, Venezuela.
They're seeing these uprisings
and
we are a society going in the exact opposite direction.
We're running towards it.
It's mind-boggling.
Yeah, whereas the
I always encourage everyone, go to Miami, speak to Cuban Americans.
Our community can talk to anyone about the reality of living under socialism, totalitarian rule.
And I think, you know, Americans are always amazed when they go to Miami and they speak to Cuban expats just about how patriotic we feel about this country and how grateful we are.
So thank you so much for your support, Glenn.
And I really appreciate the listeners tuning in as well.
Thanks a lot.
Appreciate it.
All right.
We're going to come back for the last few minutes of the program.
First, let me tell you about American financing.
How's your financial life looking?
Do you have a pretty clean slate right now, or are you working to pay off some debts?
It can be tough, especially when you're trying to clear some of those debts, the ones with high interest payments, credit cards, your mortgage, any loans that you might have.
And don't get me started on the credit cards with the enormous interest rates because they are going to go through
the roof soon.
It's time for you to make the call, and you know the call that I'm talking about, the call to American financing.
When you do, you're going to be put in touch with an amazing staff of financial consultants.
They're going to do a free financial review for you to see what your options are.
Maybe it's time to refinance that mortgage at a lower rate.
Lower rates are still to be had.
Maybe it's time to roll the debts into a consolidation loan that will square you off with everything else so you can finally breathe a little.
Whatever the option is that's best for you, they'll help you find it.
It's American Financing.
Call American Financing now at 800-906-2440.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program tonight.
It's Wednesday night, and you know what that means.
Party at Glenn's house.
It's our Blazed?
Really?
That's what it means.
Yeah, I thought you wanted people to come and
see my parties.
That's what my parties are like.
I've been to your parties.
My parties aren't horrible.
They're usually good after you leave.
Like usually,
yeah, because they're usually in fun places and fun things are available.
And you come in and you kind of do your thing and then you leave and then they get really fun.
Right.
That's exactly what they are.
It's the best way to do a party.
Don't show up for it.
You know what I mean?
Invite a bunch of people that you really like and
that all get along and do something really fun and then come in and just go, hey,
it's going to be great.
Everybody having a good time?
Listen, I just want to, you know, say, hey,
whatever, and then leave.
And you do the kind of the slip out thing.
We just kind of...
What do you mean a slip-out thing?
Well, you do a little speech or whatever, and then you get halfway through like, you know, whatever's going on.
And then all of a sudden, where's Glenn?
Is he still
here?
Well, the party's fun, so no, he's not.
And everyone realizes that you've just slithered out the back door somehow.
I don't slither.
It's more of a slink than a slither.
Men of our size size do not slither.
I would agree.
You're right.
And
I can't slink either at this size.
It's more of a roll.
Yeah.
It's like, who's rolling out in the hallway?
I didn't mean to leave the party.
It was just the door was right behind a big slant in the room, and I just rolled out.
Sad.
It's very sad.
Very sad.
But you have the new, the big show tonight, which you're going to be talking about the origins of COVID right after I should mention a brand new Stu Does America on Blaze TV, blazetv.com slash Glenn.
The promo code is Glenn.
Sorry,
after you listen to that bullcrap, then what you do is you listen to the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special, which is all about COVID.
A couple of chalkboards are being pulled out.
This is a great, great episode.
Yeah,
I wish someone said that already.
That would have been
helpful if someone had mentioned that your special on COVID and the origins was tonight.
I I thought you were blabbing about your thing, whatever it is.
I was also blabbing about my thing, but tuned out after that.
All right.
Anyway,
you know the woman who started the 1619 project?
Hannah Nicole Jones or whatever.
She is she did an interview
where
she was talking about Cuba, and I think you're going to really relate to her.
Now, remember, 1619 Project, she's been the one who is really pushing all of this garbage into our schools.
Here's what she said about Cuba.
Listen, candidates, right now, or even just places that you think have a viable and sufficiently ambitious integration agenda.
And if so, what is it?
That laughs at a lot right now.
Yeah, I mean, one, let me just, um,
I'm definitely not an expert on
race relations internationally.
And
it's also hard to look at countries that didn't have
large institutions of slavery and compare them to the United States.
The answer is probably going to be surprising that I'm going to give, which is if you want to see the most equal
multiracial,
it's not a democracy, most equal multiracial country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba.
Cuba has the least inequality between black and white people of any place really in the hemisphere.
I mean, the Caribbean,
most of the Caribbean, it's hard to count because the white population in a lot of those countries is very, very small.
They're countries run by black folks.
But in places that are truly at least biracial countries, Cuba actually has the least inequality.
That's largely due to socialism, which I'm sure no one wants to hear.
Yeah, so I mean, what is that?
What does that expect?
So
she goes on to say that it is the revolution really happened because of what they did with education.
You know, they came in and they started teaching the kids about revolution and the communist principles.
And gosh,
it's good to see that
she understands exactly what she's doing here in America, sowing the seeds of revolution.
She said, without getting to the children, you cannot have a revolution.
So, congratulations,
Cuba.
You have somebody speaking out for you.
Well, not for you, but for the leadership.
And by the way,
I've been to a lot of Caribbean countries, and some of them are nice, but I sure wouldn't want to live there.
You know, they're good for about a week or so, and then you're like, I got to, you know, get back to a place that has working roads and systems and
not like massive poverty right like three blocks away from where you are.
I saw the Michael Moore documentary about Cuba.
And did you know there's a doctor on every corner?
Every corner.
Think about how inefficient of a healthcare system that is to promote just a doctor on every corner of every street.
But that's what they do.
They have so many doctors and so much medication, they'll give it away to anybody.
And did you know doctors and nurses, they just walk up to places and do house calls like all day long.
Wow.
At least according to the footage that they got in Cuba.
Yeah.
Something doesn't seem right about
that lie about the socialist countries like Cuba.
And, you know, there's a reason why everybody's, you know, equal.
You know, for the most part, as she said, for the most part.
Yeah.
Everybody's life sucks.
Everybody is poor, except for the very, very, very few at the top.
And you can't really even count those guys because it's not a big number.
It's only just a few people at the very, very top.
You know.
Phew.
But everybody else is equal.
Yeah, I don't want that kind of equality.
Thank you.
I don't want that kind of equality.
People who live here at the poorest portions live better than many in Cuba.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
